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.
Get over it. It is a sports thing. I live in one of the two communities adjacent to Ft. Hood (grew up here) so I do know a little something about the service of military members. I have spent my entire career serving the children of those who serve our country. Yes, I know, too, that U.T. is extremely liberal and a&m is conservative. Again, it’s a sports thing. I don’t care about U.T.’s politics when I am watching games. I think a&m’s traditions are beyond silly. The male cheerleaders who look and act like they’ve just escaped the asylum or are swabbing the deck or...whatever they seem to be doing, are strange, okay? And burying Lassie under Kyle Field and treating it like sacred ground? Also strange. Listen, everyone in the state of Texas has had to put up with the aggies’ obnoxious fans forever; it’s just sad that aggie fans can’t take what they dish out. Case in point: your need to make like Dryman and I are The Devil for ribbing the ags. You must not spend much time on sports threads. Our comments were quite tame, I can assure you.
I appreciate your husband’s service and am so glad he is home with you for Thanksgiving!
