Best reply was "Meh. I saw Forrest Gump. That's all I need to know."

Using texags to determine the opinions of the majority of Aggies is like citing Bleacher Report as a source. Should result in an automatic ban.

Most A&M fans are really good people....A few act like longhorn fans but that is just the texass coming out in them.

The "Football Board" of TexAgs is an absolute mess and isn't worth reading. The pay areas of that site provide good recruiting information and has much better conversation.

Most of the folks on the Non Pay site for Texags are college students or recent grads who haven't done a lot of traveling. Still, I don't think those comments are especially harsh. Alabama isn't particularly beautiful outside of a few areas. Generally nice people that are fanatical about football but there aren't a ton of places in Alabama where people dream of going on vacation or visiting outside of Gulf Shores (I prefer Perdido myself) and the football venues.
One HUGE difference between Alabama (and most of the South) with Texas when you drive through is the Interstates are primarily lined with forests with tall trees where you just don't see anything but trees lined right up against the highway that are very dense. I have never really understood that. In Texas you have most of the land along the Interstates developed at a minimum with farms and ranches but also with a ton of other stuff. It's primarily open though so you can see for miles and miles most of the time. Isn't that land in Alabama and the rest of the South just as valuable with so much access right there? Why just leave it as forest land?
Mobile is kind of a neat town. Huntsville is ok. Birmingham is ok. Montgomery is terrible. After that Alabama is just lots of small to medium sized towns that are typically rural. Nothing wrong with that, just kind of boring. I've driven from South Carolina to Texas A LOT and there are huge stretches where it all feels about the same.
Texas is just a lot more diverse and it truly is like its own country.

Let me help you aggies with this one. You are to reply with something like this...we are scared...very scared. We can't see any way that aTm can possibly beat the Gumps but we will go ahead and pull for them regardless. This years Bama team might be the best of all time. The NFL should just go ahead and move the draft to the Bama campus seeing as how 3/4 of their team will be chosen in the first round.
That, a jar of vasoline, and one of their sisters will help these guys get on with their day. It might also prevent 738,922 more threads asking you to tell them how great they are.
You finish with
the Gumps!

Good to see a lot of folks defending the state, despite the small number of goobs talkin smack.
I've traveled this whole country by car and by plane, and there are far more desolate and/or poorer areas of the United States - mostly in the Southwest.
Anytime someone gets their feelings hurt because their favorite sports team gets beat, or is projected to be beaten, by a team from Alabama, their first retort is to make fun of the citizens of the state in regards to education, poverty, etc. Such class.
