The Aggies are very proud of their university. They also are very proud of the networking opportunities amongst their former students.
Some Aggies( mostly the Gen Xers) have so totally bought in to some sense of TAMU superiority that they have become elitist in their hearts. They believe most degrees are not as valuable or honor-worthy as their Aggie sheepskin. In that sense, they are slowly morphing into that which they so fervently loath: the Texas alum.
It's a bit funny to watch from the outside looking in.
Oddly enough, my Aggie friends( I'm 52) don't have this same elitist attitude.
They love their school and degree.
They don't bash others
But then again, most of my friends are Drs and Attys, so the whole "I got my BS degree at -------" doesn't get anybody any kudos.
The Vandy guy got it right. There are so many ways to become the fan of a team. Pretty much like Christianity. How you got there doesn't really matter.

There is some truth to that Texas talk I hate to admit. But we are not just talking about A&M, all large public universities have an important alumni network.
