No, you're trying to put A&M fans up there with fans of teams that have actually won shite and thus have earned the right to talk shite.
Thinking that you have to "earn" the right to talk shite on a shite-talk board is absurd. The amount of personal identity some of y'all derive from kids wearing the same colors as you while playing a game is truly sad.

As for the cannon. There was NO EXCUSE for firing while people were anywhere in the vicinity of the blast area.
I generally support the corps, and appreciate the history of A&M. But they do have a track record of getting so wrapped up in their own traditions that they cannot see the forest for the trees, and end up living in a time-warp bubble, essentially detached from present-day reality.
That is the root cause of what I see here. And in the context of what happened, it is totally unacceptable. No tradition or gameday procedure is ever sacred enough to risk physical harm to anyone, let alone unaware visitors, to stay "on schedule".
If players are the vicinity of the business end of a cannon when the cannon is supposed to be fired, guess what? The cannon isn't getting fired at that moment. This is basic common sense, and unfortunately the corps has a history of eschewing it, in favor of preserving tradition, and that is exactly what happened yesterday.
Sadly, the cannon needs to go, this isn't a mistake that gets a do-over. And the cadets who fired it, and the corps leadership who built a culture that allowed students to actually think it was ok to fire at that moment all need to be held accountable.

Context, you stupid aggie.
We believe the player who got shot at over some ag inspector general because ags have a reputation on this board to do nothing but talk shite. You certainly have the right to talk shite, it's just that you don't seem to want to live with the consequences of no one ever believing anything you say. General Ag says they were issued a warning? Yeah, I believe that about as much as I believe Fisher will bring any kind of championship to College Station.

This coming from a member of a cult is truly remarkable.
Self awareness, get some.
