Such an ironic (and cringe) take when 95% of aggies on this board didn't serve themselves

WW2 did more damage to Texas A&M than it did to the Third Reich. Neither have recovered.

Aggie is doing the best they can. Alabama and Georgia have nothing on the history of texas a&m. Aggie once beat Duke in the chicken bowl.

Less than 1% of teasips have ever served in the military. Most all teasips have served dildos though

Did any of the 750,000 Texans go to a college other than A&M? I know Horace Carswell was a TCU grad.

Beating your chest over someone else serving then getting this out of shape and defensive about it may be even weirder than the dancing milk men

Did donghorn U empty out during the early 40’s to fight in WWII? I don’t think so. They stayed home sipping tea. How do you think y’all got the nickname the “tea sips”?
Probably given to them by an all-male cult school so far removed from reality that they needed to give Texas a nickname to feel less inferior and insecure

Texas, like literally tons of other schools in the country, had men serve in WWII

Yeah so the fightin Texas Aggies thing has been around for what, 100 years?

You can see Texas Aggies in the end zones back in the 1920s or something like that

Wasn’t a big deal until now?

I don't know whats worse, aggy claiming WWII is what held their football team back (when actual service academies were winning championships) or claiming Carswell who only spent one year at aggy and didnt have any ties to them after he transferred to TCU.

The melt of all the aggie fans in this thread is amazing. Keep it coming boys.

Imagine being so clueless about why the protest on The University of Texas at Austin campus took place or the actual backstory of "tea sips" nickname. You think it is communist propaganda because you are too stupid to do real research besides read Facebook headlines.

I miss the old days, when there were no teams from Texas or Indian Territory in the Southeastern Conference.

I been hovering around this board since the late 00s before I even decided to go to Texas.

You do realize that Louisiana also was native to Indians too right?

Ok, that's great that your grandfathers served in the military. Others did, too, but sure, it's something to be proud of.

What has your generation done, though?
