As a fellow Baylor grad, I agree with your entire post whole-heartedly!! The ags are ghastly. They could win every game from now until the end of the world and they would still be gross. I always notice that, even after weekends when U.T. loses and a&m wins, far more kids at the school where I teach wear Texas shirts than aggie shirts. Even the kids know that a losing Texas team is better than a winning aggie team. Baylor t-shirts have grown in popularity around here, thanks to Robert Griffin. We may catch up with the aggies in the T-shirt race yet, lol.

Great game tonight! Thanks for starting this thread, freedom1st! Congratulations on raising such a smart granddaughter!! ;)

Sic ‘em Bears!!!

Those folks who wear t-shirts of a school they didn’t attend (or more likely can’t get into) are called “t-shirt fans.” Seriously, they are. I know you meant it well, but it’s generally considered kind of pathetic, although good for the economy.

FWIW, I cheered for Baylor last night. They played a terrific game, truly impressive.

But it’s a shame all those seats were empty.

You do realize that A&M is still one of the most conservative universities in the nation and UT one of the most liberal. A&M was ranked 3rd in the nation for military academies this year, behind only West Point and the Naval Academy.

There have been tens of thousands of Aggies out there defending your freedom in uniform over the years ... my husband being one of them. He’s returning from his 13th deployment as I type this and may actually make it home for Thanksgiving this year.

You might want to think about that the next time throw all that venom at the maroon and white.

... Not to mention that almost every A&M ‘away’ game this season, we have received kudos for being the friendliest visitors most of the teams have ever hosted.

And Johnny Football is just fun to watch. What football fan out there cannot appreciate that talent?

Why all the anger? Yeesh.

Thank you for the comment about my granddaughter. She was accepted at UT and Baylor. She decided on Baylor because of the smaller student population and its Christian origins. She’s very happy she choose Baylor.
