From Jim Rome:

"They won't shut up. They have to go on about spirit, and old army, and red ass, and how bonfire represents the burning sensation they have in their urine to beat UT, and blah blah blah. Shut up. You start to get the feeling the entire school was built to spite UT. Forget the fact that when the Texas Legislature back in the 1870's passed legislation to start a state university they also decided to have a subsidiary branch of the main school (University of Texas) that would teach agriculture and mechanics. Aggies love to say their school is older, from where they get that I don't know......the fact is, the State intended A&M to be a branch of UT. They are like the afterbirth from the original creation. Like Danny Devito in "Twins". So they apparently have this complex, so much so, that they must devote their entire school to trying to prove to UT that they are just as good. All the while, nobody at UT denies that A&M is a good school, yet they won't shut up. So they write a fight song......about?....Texas, and how they want to beat them. They have a Fish Camp for freshman where they tell them how bad Texas is and how good A&M and all its traditions are."

Is that the same Jim Rome who ran for his life off the set when he called Jim Everett "Chris Everett" one too many times? That dork knows as much about the South, and football, as Hitlery knows about the Yankees.

Jim Rome needs to do some homework.
Texas A&M, the state’s first public institution of higher education, was opened on Oct. 4, 1876 as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas.

From tu's own website: The university was formally opened in the new building on September 15, 1883. Five years later. Math is not Jim's strong suit.

1) A&M IS older. You can take that to mean whatever you want. Let it go.

2)EVERYONE at UT denies that A&M is a good school.

3)The Aggie War Hymn isn't something we "just thought up." It's been a while. Several times longer than I'll guess you are old.

4)I've been to fish camp. They do not brainwash you at fish camp to believe that all t-sips suck. They just assume that you know when you come. But yes, they do teach you all about traditions. Is there a problem with that, jackass?
