Over what? Like 40 bucks or something similarly insignificant?

You're thinking way too hard about this. I did a google search and literally posted the first picture that came up. I was trying to prove a point that arbitrarily posting a picture doesn't further your argument in regards to an entire fan base's stance on something.

Well that's how I got in this thread. I was then accused of being a hater just for asking who varsity is/was.

Why not saw off whoever your playing.

"Saw tusk's tusks off..."

"Saw Mike's nuts off..."

"Saw elephant's (Big Al) trunk off"

"Saw UGA's head off"

"Saw Cocky's cock off"

Are you drunk or something? You make absolutely no sense. I really hope you don't think the random shite you are typing is coming off as being cogent or something.

So does Texas and Bama.



Alabama is still in the same conference as Georgia, and still plays them every so often. We have also played Georgia Tech since they left the SEC and have been working on a home-and-home series with them.

Are you freaking serious? A&M is one of the more diverse campuses in the country. It is impossible to have 50,000 homogeneous students.

You confuse a strong conservative culture and a strong respect to the past as a lack of diversity.

Lack of political diversity you may have an argument (although not really there are plenty of liberals on campus).

Lack of ethnic, cultural, etc. diversity you are full of it.

Not interested in changing the War Hymn for everyone we play. We didn't do that for all our former big12 and swc conference mates, so I'm not sure why people think it'll change now

And this also is not the first time texas has refused to play us. They got all pissy back in the day and took a break from the series. They tend to throw tantrums when other schools don't kawtow to them

Yea, I don't like this irrelevant feeling. It makes me feel like an Aggie.

Well the SEC is better than the Big 12 so step it up. Take a chance, make a change.

Nope. A&M has been widely regarded as a great fit culturally with the SEC. Yeah, we have a myriad of unique traditions. Get the frick over it.

We aren't big on "fitting in" or "making changes." You know this
