I know Ole Miss fans didn't like them. I found this post on TT board about the arkansas game.

Probably not the smartest decision:

I enjoyed being around their fanbase at the 2006 Cotton Bowl. Some great fans. I didn't have any issues.

Aggies will be here shortly to regale you with tales of trashiness.
Only thing I know is after beating A&M one year they tore down the goal posts and rammed the Aggy student section with it

i can't argue with that. altho big bert is hotter than the majority of sec coaches even given the girth.

No discussion of the tech fanbase is complete without this...

A&M fans have an especially bad opinion of their fans, but I think that is because they are trained to hate A&M and treated us horribly as a result.
Similar to the way that many A&M traditions revolve around UTw, Tech is obsessed with A&M. So, when we went there, we'd be welcomed with flying batteries, spitting, cursing, trying to fight us, etc.
But I don't know that they act that way to everyone, and I doubt it; it's just that they really, really hate A&M.
I will say this, when we went to the SEC, they were the only school that to a man just said "good for you". No lawsuits, no hand-wringing or failure predictions, just "we wish we could leave too".
My respect for them grew immensely because of that.
They ARE remarkably passionate and loyal considering their team is way out the desert and has no history and zero media attention. They have a 60,000 stadium despite being so remote that most of their alumni have to fly in because it's too far out there to drive.
Lubbock is a shite destination though. There's nothing cool or nice there or anywhere near. It's flat, it's the desert, it smells of cow shite when the breeze is from the stockyards, there are occasional REAL sandstorms, and no bar scene.

Kliff is a much better coach than Bret.

I've never given them a thought.

Worst fans ever.

Their reputation is well-earned.
Taken as a whole, they're a miserably shitty fan-base.
I won't ever return to Lubbock for a game; it's in the middle of nowhere, and there's nothing at all unique about their game atmosphere.
Most of em are clowns who couldn't get into any of the better universities in Texas, which leads to many brainless actions on the part of their student body.

They are the worst fan base in Texas. I mean at least Texas has the past and A&M and Baylor have had some recent success, Tech just isn't good.

Typically, most A&M fans will express that Tech has a classless fan base and is typically known as the students who couldn't get into tu or A&M, or if they wanted to goto a private school SMU, Baylor etc.
I'll admit their obnoxious manners and antics can rustle the jimmies right quick if you let it get to you. Just understand that it's nothing personal, being what they are Tech fans are typically the defiant type who try to create as much noise as possible to whoever will listen.
I will admit that I gained some respect for Tech during our transition to the SEC, as I think it has been discussed previously on this thread. Also they told the sips and ESPN to go frick each other at the same time when they tried to force Tech into playing on the LHN against the longhorns.
Rumor is ESPN threatened to decrease Tech's long-term priority/chances of being in a national broadcast on the ESPN network if they did not accept the LHN's terms. Tech called their bluff by refusing to deal with the LHN and ESPN let it slide.
So again, I wouldn't take their poor manners and obnoxiousness personally. They just want to be acknowledged.
