Always curious as to why Aggie fans get shite on the most here.

I have my theory. Before we joined the SEC, most here knew almost nothing about A&M. Most around the country (not just here) will refer to A&M as A-Tee-M. They're truly clueless about Aggie. Some assume it's a predominantly black school like the other A&M schools. In short, Texas A&M, prior to the move was seen as an after thought school.

I would read here, and on other forums how we would get embarrassed in the SEC. Ironically, one of those forums was Cocky Talk. I heard it all, people were adamant that Aggie had zero chance to compete.

First season in Aggie goes on the road to Tuscaloosa and beats what ends up being the national champion. Now that rubbed so many wrong here because others had been struggling against Nick Saban. Aggie just strolled in and flipped off all their critics. Then there was Manziel those first two years, his Heisman.

Aggie went on a run against piggy, USC, they ran up the score on some other teams in the SEC. All of this was going against the narrative.

Aggie has half a billion to fix their football stadium?? Aggie has over 100k seating? This isn't what I thought Aggie would be like

Fast forward, you got #1 Aggie in baseball.b nothing to ground breaking but definitely more than the total scrub so many pictured before the move
