It goes back to when the school was emptied out to go fight in WWII dumb fricks

My FIL went to school for three semesters then went to Italy to be a navigator on a B24. Flew fifty missions over a two year period bombing the oil fields over Polesti. Won the Distinguished Flying Cross. Returned to A&M to finish his degree

I think it's more so that they call themselves "Texas Aggies" which is super desperate

But good to know this is quick to trigger you

WW2 did more damage to Texas A&M than it did to the Third Reich. Neither have recovered.

"...when Lawrence Sullivan Ross became President of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, it was under the threat of being shut down. Lucky, Governor Ross would not have this and he went down to the Legislature and fought to keep his school open. He got so angry that he punched a senator over the issue. From then on, we have been known as the “Fighting Farmers” that later became the “Fighting Aggies.”
