Woah, back it up. We may be a conservative university, but by no means are we Southern.

Meh. Texans are descended from folks from the Deep South, among others. In part, Texas owes its independence to the South.

The Texas–Texas A&M football rivalry was an American college football rivalry between the Texas Longhorns football team of the University of Texas and Texas A&M Aggies football team of Texas A&M University. Texas leads the series 76–37–5. The rivalry was played every year between 1915 and 2011, until Texas A&M left the Big 12 Conference to join the Southeastern Conference.
Why is Texas scared of Aggie?? They pretty much owned that arse?

quote:You need to do some research on the man who's statute is in front of the Academic Building. TAMU's founders actually had very deep ties to the Confederacy. Hash this out all you want to, but we are a Southern school. While the state of Texas is unique on its own, it is still a part of "the south", especially East Texas. Just maybe not the "deep south."
Woah, back it up. We may be a conservative university, but by no means are we Southern.
And the culture of our university has a very Southern feel to it. Don't believe me? Go check out other Land Grant universities in the South and compare them to TAMU; we are shockingly similar. We are nothing like the Land Grant schools in the Midwest, especially the ones we used to play (ISU, KSU, NU). And now that we are in the SEC, those similarities are becoming more and more evident. That is why we "fit" so well in the SEC. Southern Culture.
