It’s a false narrative put forward by them that they are somehow pure as to having nothing but alumni among them.


Yep, false narrative. As a kid in the late eighties, I remember going to the cotton bowl parade on New Years Day and watching the Aggie band march through town. I became a fan of that style of band and recall many t-shirt fans at the parade and back home in my neighborhood, at church, and in school. I guess those people don’t count and just aren’t pure enough to be considered fans :-(

Watching them play the Aggie War Hymn is absolutely hypnotic.

It’s just that good.

A&M has gotten a lot of good press lately. Before long you’ll have plenty of your own t-shirt fans. Wonder if you’ll change your tune then or still beat them away with a stick.


A&M and schools like them like to claim that they just have fans who graduated from the school. But they have their own version of t- shirt fans.

They tend to have fans from families that never went to college and these particular families have always resented the flagship school because that is the school where all the well connected snob families send their kids.

In reaction to that....they tend to adopt the "little brother" school... in reality they hate the flagship school more than they care about the school they actually root for.

Why do aggy fans like to think they are the gatekeeper for who can and can’t be fans?

Most aggy jokes turned out to be true. Guess not as funny anymore ?

Big city schools usually...to much to do and most did not go to college there...so they only pay attention when winning. Plus they usually care about pro sports.

It's been crazy seeing all these Indiana fans act like they know all there is to know about college football after having 2 good seasons.

In my 60+ years as an LSU/CFB fan, Indiana 2025 may be the biggest bandwagon fandom I have ever seen.
