No they aren't...they are a comatose clown on stilts. That's why it's going to suck when my team loses to them on Saturday.

Wow. You must have plenty of pictures, etc. to back that up. Perhaps you should post some of them to back up your claim.

I bet A&M's lgbtq community is smaller than Ole Piss lgbtq enrollment even though our student enrollment is over 3 times the size of Ole Piss. What exactly does that say about gay pride at Ole Piss?

Next year, Texas A&M is just as likely to go 10-2 as 7-5. We all are except for Georgia. That's the new reality.

That’s leading some of our less kind fans to now refer to a&m as a “diploma mill”…

Lots of room in the cattle pastures of college station to plop down new buildings to fill with more Dallas suburb “country” kids driving concrete-ready 4x4s.

Fortunately our Texas “40 Acres” main campus is totally landlocked…


The saddest part of this is that this message board shitpost is basically a carbon copy of the Texas state government's position on how to accommodate the rapidly growing population of Texas in the public higher education system.

UT is being preserved with waivers to the top 10% rule, while TAMU is being flooded by the growth.

At the risk of skirting poli board content, a LOT of Ags are disgusted by what the outgoing Texas government did to A&M, and I think that anger contributed noticeably to the statewide election results. Brazos County actually went blue, which is stunning in and of itself.

Maybe A&M should stop their little hanky waving and the "kissin'-whatever's-next-to-you" traditions by the fans in the stands. How 'bout blowin' bubbles like the baseball fans do? That might give a spark to your lackluster football team.


I like your bubbles idea, but aggy never changes, and they never got over letting women in. They will still be embracing all of their cringe male “traditions” in the year 3050 I’m sure…

I am going to agree with you that our football team is as unpredictable as frick this year…

If we actually did lose to aggy, I’m sure I will be hiding away from this board for at least a year…

FWIW, the 10%, then 6% rule doesn't cut it anymore at UT Austin. It's currently at 5% and may be narrowed more in the future.

For the Fall 2026 cycle and beyond, UT Austin’s automatic admission threshold is the top 5% of a Texas high school graduating class.


A&M could do similar, but they choose a different path.

The University of Texas at Austin was been limiting capacity at least back to 1974. Their response to growth was to grow within the University of Texas System, increasing the academic stature of the system schools to attract and accommodate more students.

• The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin): ~44,314
• The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA): 34,324
• The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA): 30,705
• The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV): 29,727
• The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD): 22,722
• The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP): 22,234

Since A&M grudgingly accepted that women are equals, they have embraced growth for growths sake for the sole purpose to be able to claim to be the largest University in Texas.

Don't pretend the State of Texas forced A&M to turn into a diploma mill.

Texas A&M University College Station 72,289 main campus: 81,990 total
East Texas A&M University Commerce 13,565
Texas A&M University Corpus Christi 11,398
Prairie View A&M University 10,295

Quality over quantity has never been part of the A&M equation.

That is what I was referring as as waivers.

Allowing UT to maintain effective enrollment standards in the face of tremendous population growth, while expecting A&M to just grow endlessly to accommodate the growth is a recipe for disaster for A&M, and by extension for higher education in Texas as a whole.

Right now Texas has 2 highly respected state universities.

Texas needs 4-6 if we want to keep high performing kids from leaving the state.

If things keep going the way they are, we will soon only have 1.

Abysmal failure in state governance is an understatement.

Nope, just trying to educate you. You are either really stupid or just misinformed. Since you are a fan of the school that has the lowest entrance requirements of any major university in the world, I am going to go with really stupid probably bordering on retarded.

All trolling aside, I actually want aggy and Texas to maintain high educational standards. There are plenty of state colleges in Texas with lower entry requirements for high school graduates to attend.
