ATM fans seem pretty cool.

Texas fans not so much, often times. Hopefully they can change that.

However, I will say the constant horns down / towards Texas fans by EVERYONE, is tired.

It's so overdone, it's not like it's hurting TX feelings.

Just stop. Unless they stick the horns fingers in your face

I honestly think it’s the gay and weird “traditions” they do that play a big part.

No one else does that weird, kooky shite. It’s like a subconscious stain on them. But they’ll defend it to the end.

Texas A&M had an impressive 14 year run from 1985-1998 going 130-40-2 (.755 winning percentage) that saw:

- 7 SWC titles, 1 XII title
- 13 winning seasons, one .500 year
- 7 double-digit winning seasons
- 12 times finishing ranked
- going (42-5-1) from 1991-1994

Were any of those years national championship caliber? Perhaps not considering what Oklahoma, Miami, Florida State, Notre Dame, Nebraska were putting on the field, but the Aggies had their opportunities during that 14 year stretch.

I have never once called you "little brother". Others do. I haven't. When it comes to money and political power we are basically equal which is why I don't understand why you guys have struggled so mightily to get it together.
I know the ags I talk to on regular basis are frustrated beyond words and pull no punches.

Real answer is we didn't have real resources until the SEC move. Before then our brand was confused with Texas Tech and our stadium was a dump.

Post-SEC? Some is coaching, and some is external factors. I personally think the rise and fall of Hugh Freeze at Ole Miss stood in our way some. So did the fact that Coach O was better than anyone would have guessed at LSU.

maybe 92 where they beat Stanford, LSU, and Louisville outside the SWC but lost to ND in the Cotton Bowl.

The best shot was the '94 team that beat LSU, OU, and Louisville but tied SMU to finish 10-0-1. A&M was on a bowl ban and tv ban (thanks, texas).

The rest of the SWC was bad through most of those years.

The answer is simple. Prove me wrong.

Aggy admins care more about hosting Draggieland than hiring top athletic staff.

Aggy allows the all male cheerleaders to be the face of the football program.

It’s because they have the gay.

There isn’t a metric you can pull out that has atm ahead of Texas.

We have more of everything (wins, nattys, cc, etc).

Show me how atm is on par with Texas?

Texas doesn't hold a candle to the dominance of A&M's meat judging team.

You can thank Jackie Sherrill bonehead. I know plenty of cool and level-headed Aggies who are good friends, but there are too many like you with a victim mentality and that’s a major reason why A&M is perpetually mediocre.

You win, although it sure Texas has a meat judging team. If we don’t we have a lot of catching up to atm dominance there

Thing is that we are the littlest brother of the three now. aTm has surpassed us in football beating us 12 out of last 13 seasons.

you know when the meat judging smack talk comes out, the topic has left the rails.

and no sure why we have one horn who refuses to learn the history of the SWC and act like texas was the benevolent saint of the conference.

Who cares about the past.

It is all about what have you done lately.

In case of aggy, Nothing. Zero. Squat.

Even Johnny Football turned out to be a cheater and disgrace.
