I haven't read this thread.

That said, the difference appears to be entitlement.
Bama fans--on the whole--are much more loyal & "authentic" than are longhorns. And I'm painting w a broad brush on both sides of the aisle.

On another note ... I never thought I'd ever come across a program w more "t-shirt fans" (I believe y'all refer to em as "sidewalk fans?") than UTex has. Bama, however, has got the horns beat there. I'm not meaning to insult anyone (though I probably will); but I'll never understand the idea of being a fan of an institution of higher education from where one did not personally matriculate.

Meh, I get it. I'm a fan of Michigan and Bama and didn't matriculate through them, obviously. It can be a regional pride thing. Nothing wrong with that.

How does it feel knowing that your program is about to implode? Poor aggy getting all the attention now. We compete against elite teams in our conference while you lose to the sisters of the poor

That's quality shite...

I'm not saying there's something wrong with it--I knew I failed at making that point clear.

I just don't understand it. At all.

I'm certainly not claiming to be "right."

My apologies.

I completely understand said fandom of professional sports. You select a team you like, b/c folks don't attend a franchise. You're making my point.

But collegiate sports--to me--are about, well, colleges and universities--institutions of higher education. I can't imagine financially supporting a program from a school I didn't attend.

I shouldn't have said what I did. Such comments (re: t-shirt/sidewalk fans) always make folks very emotional. And I should've known better.

Here's a recap of what's happened over the past 5-10 years to illustrate the folly of institutionalized arrogance:

1. A&M adds an HD jumbotron

2. longhorns add a ridiculously large jumbotran to where it gets the nickname Godzillatron, then Adzillatron because the outside edges are nothing but advertisements.

3. Reporter asks longhorn AD DeLoss Dodds if the new jumbotron is "keeping up with the Joneses" to which Dodds says longhorns "are the Joneses"

4. Big 12 sucks. Dodds acts like a dick (see above)

5. Dodds secretly starts negotiating a merger with the Pac10 without consulting A&M

8. Baylor shits pants

9. Colorado, worried about Baylor pants shitting and political posturing, joins the Pac 10 unilaterally

10. Aggies (specifically, Admin. Gene Stalling) say eff you to pac 10 plan. We want SEC. You longhorns can come with us if you don't like you situation, not the other way around. Don't tell Daddy what to do.

11. Nebraska leaves the Big Twatever because longhorns and the Big Twatever sucks, leaving the Big Twatever at 10 teams

14. LHN is announced. The contract calls for more than 2 games on LHN. Other Big Twatever schools pissed

15. Longhorns try to get high school games on LHN as a recruiting advantage. Other Big Twatever schools pissed. The NCAA says it's a violation, puts a stop to it.

16. Aggie President gets a copy of the LHN/ESPN agreement showing that they are never going to participate in a conference network and the parties will use best efforts to get as many conference games as possible on the LHN, taking money out of the Big Twatever distribution pot and keeping it all for longhorns and ESPN, at the expense of the other conference members.

18. Baylor shite pants again. Threatens lawsuit.

19. Dodds and Longhorns try to belittle A&M to get us to us to change our mind about the SEC, stating that U of H would be a good replacement if the Aggies leave

20. Aggies don't bite on the troll, but flip it around and say "SEE!!! WE CAN LEAVE WITHOUT DAMAGING THE CONFERENCE. REPLACEMENTS ARE AVAILABLE AND WILLING."

21. Longhorns still can't give A&M credit for being a power and stick to the "A&M is worthless" mantra.

22. Dodds et al threaten to never play the Aggies again.

23. Aggies say "we will play the game anytime and anywhere" which is code for "frick off, butthurt little twat"

35. Longhorns get WVU (1000 miles away and a shitty school) to join the Big Twatever, after ridiculing the Aggies for travel distances in the SEC and insulting the SEC's academic reputation

36. Baylor is gleeful

37. Longhorns claim that TCU and WVU are "upgrades"

38. Baylor joins in on the "upgrade" bullshite now that they've been saved from relegation to Conference USA

40. Dodds tells everybody that the SEC doesn't own any TVs in Texas but "has a sliver down the East Texas side"

41. Longhorns and Baylor homos claim that "A&M left the State of Texas"

42. A&M rustles jimmies with SEC Country billboard campaign all over, including Austin and Waco

43. LHN launches as huge disaster with no content nor carriage, longhorn fans pisses, Aggies (and everybody else) laugh asses off

44. ESPN College GameDay announces it will attend A&M's first SEC game v. Florida in College Station, longhorn crying commences

45. Butthurt longhorn fans put up a billboard in Gainesville, FL attempting to run ridiculous smack at Florida in an effort to make A&M look bad

46. A&M is on national TV every single week but one in 2012

47. Nobody sees the longhorns on TV for the first few weeks and regionally thereafter

48. A&M beats #1 Alabama before rear-record-breaking national TV audience

49. A&M reaches the Top 10 in the in BCS

The main difference is that there are more than just a handful of Bama fans that aren't total jackasses.
