What’s funny is an Aggy pointing at literally anybody else and calling it a clown show.

There’s a reason you can go into any gift shop or book store in Texas and buy a book a Aggy jokes.

And yall just keep giving the gift of laughter.

P.S. Jimbo said to tell you thanks for the check!

Are you trying to portray Ag jokes as a serious thing?
They’re literally a part of Texas lore—most of said books are written by Ags.
Lighten up, Tex.

Consistency & stability say a lot about a program...4 losing seasons in a decade really undermines that.


Most programs go through low points.

Georgia in the 90s
Alabama 2000-2007
LSU in the 90s
USC (since Pete left)
Notre Dame in the 80s
Texas in the 2010s

It takes the right coach to turn a program, which we think we found. Are some of our fans cocky? 100%. Factors lead to higher expectations like being in the most fruitful state for football recruits, the massive brand and large NIL fund. Those definitely play a factor into why most Texas fans are “puffing out our chests” along with coming off a CFP appearance.

Anyways looking forward to the UGA coming to Austin this fall. Should be a great game!

I wasn’t into A&M. First, I didn’t like their uniforms. That was a big factor for me as an 18-year-old who wanted to look cool. Second, the student body was about two-thirds male. When I visited, it seemed like there were no girls, just a bunch of dudes from the school’s Corps of Cadets in military uniforms. They didn’t even have cheerleaders; they had male “yell leaders.” It just wasn’t what I was envisioning for my college experience.

I don’t get what you’re saying.

Texas A&M University isn’t for everyone; you think we don’t know that?

It was, however, for me—and clearly not for you.

Why are horns so hellbent on making more of different people’s decisions, rather than just shrugging their shoulders and sayin’, “cool?”

Watched the Pony Express for the first time last night and learning about the Trans Am that A&M got ED made me start looking into his decision on SMU more. Stumbled across and interview and that’s what came up. Don’t make too much of it, just wanted to jab a little with the quote.

Um. I think the point is TU hasn’t accomplished much over the last 50+ years, but y’all sure do have a lot to say.

Tell me about it. Just this most recent year Texas fell apart by *checks notes* finishing ranked higher than anybody in the conference and killing the SEC champion in their own house.

I was in my early 20s when A$M bribed Dickerson with the TA. Aggy was livid when he signed with SMU. Demanded the car back or else, blah, blah, blah. Eric told them to STFU or he'd tell the world how he got the car, A$M STFU.
I did get to see him play a couple of times while at SMU. A man playing against children. The Pony Excess was as dominant a team as has ever been. Many played NFL ball.

BTW, There is only one aggy joke, the rest are true stories.

Sorry so late, as a Texas Alum, I was busy tying people to railroad tracks.

If you watched Pony Express you also saw the part where Dickerson said a UT alum told him if he didn't go to UT, he'd never get a job in the state. He also said frick UT in that documentary.
Also, the documentary showed that when SMU beat Texas in football the NCAA came calling the next week.

Was a good documentary for sure. There was a poster on shaggybevo that worked on Pony Express. He said while researching they uncovered lots of players that got paid at different SWC schools, Even players from the University of by God Texas at Austin.

Below is the Pivot episode with Dickerson. The Pivot is a great podcast btw.

You know those Aggie joke books were written and published by Aggies, right? So thanks for the contribution, I guess?

Horns are like the guy who mortgaged his house to buy a fancy sports car. Lots of flash, but behind the curtain, not much there. Landlocked campus surrounded by homeless people, in an area with no room to grow. Trying to tear down an historic building to build a football facility that may never happen. Oh yeah, and don't forget Cocks not Glocks, masculinUT, pro-Pakistan protests during the SEC celebration.
Oh and spending 12 years bagging on the SEC as low class and unworthy, then throwing a parade when they FINALLY got the chance to join that same SEC.

We finished 4th in 2020, and should have made the playoff had B10 not changed their rules so they could get OSU in. We finished 4th.
OSU would've skull drug you. And tell that to the only good team u played that year and lost to by over 4 TDs.

After OC and future Texas coach Sark pasted DC and future A&M coach Elko to the tune of 485 yards passing in a beat down that could've been even worse. Receivers running free and untouched ALL DAY
