Aggies are pretty good at manual labor.

 

[TxArch]

Longhorns are the architects, aggies are the laborers.

Yea, they also mow my yard

 

[CHETOLONGHORN]

Aggies work the land, LONGHORNS own the land, Sooners steal the land. ...

Sounds like aggy needs to go get his f-ing shinebox.

I get the feeling that this story wouldn't have been written if not for the story about the Ortiz jersey at the new Yankee Stadium.

not really a shame at all.....just the way things have always been. aggy works for longhorns. this sits very very well with me actually.

I remember hearing somewhere that the Moncrief-Neuhaus center was designed by an aggy.

Either way, we have the money, and we pay these other people to do a job for us. We are their bosses, as God intended it to be.

As for aggy who thinks that 'longhorns are too stupid to do it themselves', all I can say is that ignorance is bliss.

Even ancient Aggies built marvelous structures. Take a look at a particular inscription on one of the pillars of the Colosseum:

 

[Dirty Martin]

Yep, day laborers even back in Roman times.

This thread is already in the beginning stages of greatness. I award an early 5 stars.

A VT architect designed UVA's new stadium expansion. The stadium shape formed a "V" so he added a T" structure next to it.

I saw that aggy graffiti when I visited the coliseum. I was embarrassed for them.

I am sure the Aggies aren't the bottom level laborers. They are more likely the ones that have the degrees (thus being aggies) in things like construction science, etc. So why knock those in construction?....I have enjoye watching it being built.

 

[TxArch]

It's a joke, man. I've done my share of manual labor, but it feels damn good to be in an air-conditioned office now.

 

[hornpharmd]

Yeh I get it. Just some coming off sounding a bit elitist b/c we don't have to get our hands dirty yet appreciate watching what they are building day in and day out.

I don't mind who's doing the work on our stadium, just as long as they don't make it look like that mess over at collie station.
