No, Nebraska and Kansas St., were dominant. Mizzou, Kansas, Iowa St., and Okie St. weren’t winning anything. Y’all’s best season ever yall lost to OU twice. Y’all could have played Ohio St. for the 2007 title but yall faceplanted against OU again! Meanwhile we’re 3-1 against them since 2000.

You didn’t get the memo. Qatar investment is ok now. Trump just announced a huge investment deal.

No, but they were scrappy and tough. These days, they are everything they've always accused Texas of being.


The honest truth is that your assessment has merit, and that is unfortunate. But it doesn’t happen in a vacuum.

We both know that in real life Aggies are very welcoming to all guests on campus, etc. This board is not like real life, and it has a combative angle.

What this board was like when A&M joined the SEC… reflected all the negative media attention thrown at A&M. This place was everything Texas fans hoped it would be for A&M, I’m sure.

So when you have a bunch of sidewalk fans trying to stomp successful career oriented A&M fans into the dirt because they attended A&M, it brought out a fight or flight response, mostly fight response.

And I absolutely loathe the whole “big money” talk and being richer attitude from Texas fans, or from A&M fans now. I didn’t like it when A&M fans responded that way.

Because A&M fans hated that attitude from Texas fans, so I can understand hate for it when A&M fans do it. It’s stupid. The unfortunate reality is that when people are talking stupid nonsense then sometimes stupid responses happens as a result.

This is the type of Aggie arrogance that no one likes on this board, especially combined with the lack of athletic success.

We haven’t had the large alumni base we have now for the majority of our existence.

What was I thinking?

This board works on SCOREBOARD rules.

There are no rules but the patented Aggie arrogance will never make them any friends.

Especially when combined with the weird cult behavior and lack of overall success. It's a perfect storm for dislike.

Perhaps Aggies don't care, I don't blame them if not as it's just a viewpoint. You guys do all of the same things you talk about Texas doing though, just weirder and with less success.

This board will tolerate and get behind a lot of differing views and opinions.

They will almost never get behind false bravado and the constant braggadocious entitlement that “some” schools carry. It’s pointless, yet “some” schools have only this behavior to rely on.
