Agies try so hard to be texans that they out Texas themselves.

I think you could really get is rustled up if it was presented less bluntly

UGA:

1) Debunk their position as "most ethical school" in the SEC

2) Ask why they're not at the Kennessaw State game

For A&M:

Mentioning that with 3 first round draft picks they only went 8-4?

cjared036 ... no offense at all, but you're kinnda uninformed on the subject.
The "rights" fee that Seattle pays TAMU is a paltry $5,000 per year.
It isn't (or never was) about Texas A&M making any kind of money off of the mark.
No big deal.
That's another thread.
Don't want to hijack this one.

I wonder if the worst insult to a Bama fan is being called an Updike.

It seems strange to me that something that generic could be trademarked.

Ah, thanks. Had forgotten the name.
Hell, Browning was just doing his job - no hard feelings to him.
Now, the coaching in that game is another matter.

Making Bonfire jokes or referring to the A&M cadets (and those that were ever in the Corps as Nazis, fake Soldiers, etc. even those CURRENTLY IN THE SERVICE) usually is the best way to enrage Aggies.

Agreed, but trying to say that UTA is more "Texan" than us is more likely to get a laugh than a butthurt.

In a non-trolling context, invoking the degree of Texan for the respective schools definitely works.

I got in a fight outside of the Cotton Bowl with Texas fans for defending A&M. This was like 5 years before TAMU joined the SEC. And yes, it was a trashy thing to do.

Huh?
How does one "try" go be what he is?
Meh.
Nevermind.
Carry on.

Saying never is the one that probably annoys me the most (at this point though not many things bother me). Dooley and Kiffin? I like bitching about them because their sorry asses are 90+ percent responsible for where we are.

Yeah I mean we know it's false, but if you could word it differently to hide the hook I could see us getting pissed

Fake Nazi soldiers. Going to have to try that one out as I walk through the grass throwing piss balloons next time I am in College Station.

LSU fans get annoyed when you point out they ripped off "Death Valley" from Clemson and also lost the Chicken Bowl to them.
