For example, most SEC school major traditions happened sporadically, and people decided to keep doing them. For TAMU, I think either they didn't really happen sporadically, or you decided to keep doing EVERYTHING for the purpose of creating new traditions. Either of those things is what I'm talking about. Your traditions outnumber the SEC combined. I respect TAMU a lot, but I don't think you just have that much more going on, something happened to create that.

My point really isn't to disparage and I don't want to derail the discussion of this one any further. In sum, my observation is that TAMU is tradition rich, but very much on purpose. For the record, I think I'd tire of TAMU attitude, but not really the traditions. I'm pretty fond of most I've witnessed (exceptions being those that would require me to alter my sexual preference).

I've read this multiple times, and I'm still struggling with what you're saying. My apologies … but could you help me out?
If we're only continuing to do everything we've always done, as you say, how is that creating new traditions, "just because?"

You would be incorrect.

And I think you mean "spontaneously"

you posted a bunch again without mentioning a single specific thing. Are you completely unable to give an example of something you think is forced?
