If you say so.

You know most people just want to be respected. Generally, it is only those that have earned no respect that can't give respect. Aggies don't give a frick what sippers do. We just deserve respect for what we do.

Aggies want to win in sports like every other university and their fans. Strangely enough certain fans of certain universities get offended at that thought. We won't be deterred. We have a great school, great fans, the necessary money and facilities and great leadership. Our future looks bright. To those that are offended by Aggies winning or wanting to win...I sincerely apologize!

Daniel, you little fig, what makes you think I went to Texas? I never claimed that distinction. Just like every other aggy (although, there are exceptions but you're not one) you're spouting shite you know nothing about. You and Kline are pretty much the same level of stupid. But don't let facts or a little research get in your way. And if I were a dildo waving fairy I'd still be smarter than you. Then again, that's not saying much.

Almost every post on page 10 is from an alter.

Rule of thumb: The longer the post, the higher the probability of alter.

Between Daniel and the alters (pro Ag and pro Horn), this thread is a shitfest.

777 is doing the exact same shite he’s called out the Horns for.

He keeps clamoring for respect. This is just me, but if you want respect:

1. Quit bitching about a school that’s not in your conference. You don’t need to tell Georgia fans about UT. They’ve met in events other than football over the years.

2. Talk about something other than endowments.

3. Quit calling them Sips. It reeks of inferiority.

They will always be "tea sippers" (t-sips for short) and have been since the 40s.

Same with the other name. They aren't THE University of Texas...they're just another texas university.

That’s fine. But this is you all just playing right into the little bro stereotype. If you let it go, other fanbases may start to think of you as SEC and not a second tier Big 12 program.

The original OP had nothing to do with respect. Texas Longhorns were being called out for their lies and for their arrogance.

I decided to post it after listening to a sip (Longhorn fan) call in on the Paul Finebaum show insinuating that Texas A&M paid the officials in the A&M / LSU game. He said Texas would never lose a game like that because they can afford to pay more because they are richer everyone else. So the original post is just pointing out the fact that they aren't richer than everyone and in fact their university has a smaller endowment than Texas A&M AND NO ONE EVERY CALLS THEM OUT ON IT!

That is the point of my post...not respect.

LieSU fans throw shite fits when UL-Lafayette refers to themselves as the University of Louisiana.

This thread isn’t about LSU. But there you go again with the childish name calling. It must be an Ag thing.

And if you think the LSU-UL(L) thing is on the same level as A&M-UT, then you are just continuing to fit the stereotype.

You poor thing... You still don't get it.

Here is a screenshot of the College Station endowment.

$1.9957 billion.

Now, let's look at the PUF ("the oil money"), from which proceeds are paid out as AUF (Available University Funds).

Here is College Station's total budget. The AUF money is the maroon sliver of the $1.88 billion budget, shown at left.

Now, let's compare the UT Austin budget, which is significantly larger at $3.1 billion (as compared to aggy-College Station's budget of $1.88 billion).

UT Austin's AUF share of the budget are in green, dark blue and light blue.

As you can see, the AUF pie wedge of UT Austin's budget is significantly larger than aggy's pie wedge, within a significantly larger budget.

You are welcome to kiss my arse now.

There is literally no lower-EQ / lower self-aware group of people than aggy. Most schools own their quirks and can laugh at themselves but not aggy. Maybe because everyone in Texas has been laughing at them so long. I mean what school has all male cheerleaders and a fake ghey army?

Dear Kline,
You need to quit believing everything you hear through the glory holes at fish camp,





The two major university systems in Texas had slow and shaky beginnings.

The Congress of the Republic of Texas, on Jan. 14, 1839, provided for the selection of a site for the seat of government, to be named Austin. Included in the legislation were provisions for sites for a capitol, an arsenal, a magazine, an academy, churches, a common school, a hospital, a penitentiary and "all other necessary public buildings and purposes."A bill establishing the University of Texas passed the Texas Legislature in 1858, including a provision that the sum of $100,000 in U.S. bonds be set aside in the State Treasury for the development of the university.

A 40-acre site named College Hill was also set aside for a university, but no plans for construction were made at the time. Congress also set aside 50 square leagues of land, approximately 221,420 acres, to endow two universities.

Santa Rita No. 1 well blew in on May 28, 1923, on university lands in Reagan County.

The Civil War postponed further action. The 50 sections of land previously set aside for the two universities were augmented by a grant of one section of land for every 10 sections that were granted to the railroads.

A&M Established

The Morrill Land-Grant Bill, passed by the U.S. Congress in 1862, granted Texas 180,000 acres of land to establish an agricultural and mechanical college. The offer was accepted in 1866, but again there was a delay. The Legislature finally provided for the establishment of a land-grant college in April 1871. Three commissioners were appointed to locate and build the college within three months – an impossible task.

The commissioners were wooed by officials of several communities, including Bryan in Brazos County, Kellum Springs and Piedmont Springs in Grimes County, and Bellville in Austin County. Officials in Bryan successfully courted the commissioners with talk of contributions of $20,000-30,000 if the college located there.

Bryan businessmen aggressively promoted the town through land give-aways. To the Agricultural and Mechanical College, they made a total grant of 2,416 acres. Those acres have been described as a "wild, bleak prairie, barren of trees and shrubs ... except for one small mesquite tree." Wolves were abundant: One early student was attacked by wolves during the day in full sight of the main building. Another was attacked at night when he fell off a porch.

Early plans for the college were clouded in factional disputes, at least partly because they were proposed by a radical Republican administration.

With the legislative session of 1873, the fortunes of A&M College improved. The main building was completed by the end of 1874 and additional buildings were constructed. In 1875, the Legislature separated the administrations of A&M and the University of Texas, which still existed only on paper. The Agricultural and Mechanical College formally opened on Oct. 4, 1876.

University of Texas Organized

The Constitution of 1876 provided that a "university of the first class" be established at a site selected by a vote of the people and that it be called "The University of Texas." The Agricultural and Mechanical College was to be a branch of the main university.

But since the university had not yet been established, the legislature saw no harm in shifting the location of university lands to West Texas. The university's million-acre land endowment was carved out of Schleicher, Crockett, Terrell, Pecos, Upton, Reagan and Irion counties. Another million acres, equally arid, were added to the endowment in 1883, in Andrews, Crane, Culberson, Dawson, Ector, El Paso, Gaines, Hudspeth, Loving, Martin, Ward and Winkler counties. Texas' "university of the first class" was backed by an endowment of a vast amount of land of extremely dubious value.

Hope that's not too many words for you lil' brother...

Google is your friend. I will type slow to help your reading comprehension. Texas A&M University in College Station (Not the Texas A&M University SYSTEM) has an endowment twice the size of the University of Texas in Austin. A ten year old can find the facts. Since you are lazy and inept I will post to links.


First of all gloryhole boy, Wiki is not a source. It is an editable site that any Tom, Dick or Harry can edit and falsify information.
Secondly, that's why aggy likes wiki, if aggy don't like what it says...they can change it to something they do like. A more accurate historical and hysterical account of everything aggy can be found here:
