Agricultural nickname.

Most if not all of the Morrill Land Grant schools went by “aggies” @ some point.

Mississippi State was called the Aggies up until 1932.

I would love that.
We refer to ourselves as farmers in most of our yells anyway.
And while your quip was funny (e.g., hoes), women are farmers too.

Asked an attractive woman in Vegas what she did for a living after she had asked the same of me... she answered "farmer"... "I raise c*cks". I don't think her offspring were SCarolina fans.

Back to the cause, I'll be rooting for LSU (big Burrow/Coach O fan), but if the Aggies do pull it off I will be happy for you in particular.

Yes. Their teams were called "Varsity" prior to them appropriating the name of the A&M Yearbook as their own.

Aggie is short for agriculture, meaning they like to plow other dudes buttholes

quote:

"Longhorn” is the nickname of the University of Texas (Austin) teams. The term was officially and regularly used in 1906.

It had been written that “Longhorns” was used in the Daily Texan newspaper from 1903, but “Long Horns” was used in 1900 newspaper articles.


A&M's yearbook came out in 1903.

The accusation that UT appropriated anything sounds like Aggy propaganda to me.

The longhorn is a universally understood symbol of the state of Texas. It was only natural that UT would use that as their mascot, especially as the lone flagship university of Texas prior to World War II.

As much as y'all whine about UT, you never miss a chance to take a shot at them and by so doing reinforce that they are and will always be your biggest rival. And they should be. It's natural.

The idea to use a live longhorn as the university's mascot is attributed to UT alumnus Stephen Pinckney in 1916. Pinckney gathered $124 from other alumni to purchase a steer in the Texas Panhandle, which they originally named "Bo" and shipped to Austin.

A Longhorn steer was not the original mascot of the University of Texas. The original mascot was actually an American Pit Bull Terrier named "Pig".

With the publication of the 1903 Long Horn, yearbooks became an annual publication and continue through today. The Long Horn name was abandoned in 1949 in favor of the Aggieland, a name the student body felt better-suited the contents and the purpose of the book.

IKR?
It is what it is.
Longhorns are synonymous with our state.
But we don’t mind sharing.
