I don't see why y'all are so burnt up about being the 2nd school in a huge state. There is no shame in being behind UT. Perhaps if you want to be the flagship school of a state then whoever built A&M shouldn't have put it in the same state as one of the most popular schools in the nation. I will make arrangements for a support group composed of all the sad A&M fans and sad Auburn fans from the other thread in order to get some of this frustration out.

I don't know about 2nd school or not, but we are one of the 2 flagships. If you're trying to argue something different now then so be it.

When A&M was built the school you keep referring wasn't there yet.

Flagship is more than an opinion or an individual's definition, they're defined that way for funding reasons. If you want to argue UT is the most prominent school in the state I won't argue, but by the technical definition of a flagship university both are flagships.

No one's "burnt up."
You're just incorrect.
Flagship is defined by each state respectively; it doesn't necessarily mean "the most popular school among teenagers and 20-somethings."

You and anyone else can define Texas A&M University however you choose, but the state of Texas governance has the last word.
No big deal at all, and certainly nothing to debate.
