>>there was no need for you to invade this thread<<
Would you please post what credentials you have to show this forum is yours to decide what should and should not be posted. If you didn't like what was said, you are free to ignore it. I wasn't the one that continued to post on the issue; you were.
>>no manners and no class<<
Great assessment from someone who called another one an "ass." Should I learn from you?
>>26,000 students - and a handful get drunk and stupid at a game<<
Handful, my butt. More like close to majority. And the "school" does nothing about it. These aren't isolated incidents, but a pattern of behavior that is, effectively, encouraged.
>>and you want someone to believe not a single student at A&M gets drunk?<<
Of course not. And there is some bad behavior on the part of a few. But it isn't tolerated and literally encouraged the way it is at tech. If you go to any Aggie message board and read comments by people from schools like Utah, Virginia tech, and Clemson -- three schools that have played football at A&M in the past 2-3 years, you will find virtually nothing but positive comments. So don't you dare compare the behavior of so-called fans at tech to A&M.
>>Everyone I know denounces idiotic stunts and/or acts of violence at any sporting event - you are being childish lumping everyone from Tech into that pot.<<
If you actually knew what you are talking about, you wouldn't make this statement. My brother in law, who graduated from tech, actually tried to defend the goal post stunt by saying the Aggie fans "deserved" it. I challenge you to find one quote from the October 2001 incident where a tech official -- SID, head coach, or President, made even one critical comment about the behavior of tech students and fans in that incident. As it turned out, the father of an Aggie player, who was then the Govorner's assistant, was hit in the face by someone who turned out to be an Aggie. He reported to the police initially he was struck by a tech fan. All tech officials did after the incident was criticize the misidentification. Like the other violence wasn't an issue, but misidentifying someone was over the top.
>>I certainly don't call everyone at A&M a tightassed geek<<
I would hope not. That would make you sound like a moron.
I called you and ass because I might have been banned if I had called you what I was really thinking.
As I said, no one I know is involved in the idiotic behavior and we don't encourage or praise it - in case you haven't notice this entire thread was about our lack of respect for the ADMNISTRATION at this time - so the lack of response from them in any regard is about par..

Really? So what happened to the Aggie who hit this man? Why did the man lie and say it was a Tech student? Did he get into trouble for making a false claim?
See how stupid it is to try to hold an entire school responsible for the actions of a few?
