Aggy

Chop said:
I cross-posted this from the Men's Basketball discussion re: rooting for Tech tonight. I think it belongs here.



"Here's one way to look at things. We (UT) are the big brother in a dysfunctional family. We have two little brothers (Tech and A&M) along with many cousins, in-laws, and hangers-on.

One little brother is a scrappy underdog with lots of fight and spunk who you can usually admire and root for against other teams, and who occasionally rises up and bests his big brother.

The other little brother is an ornery little sh!te with a grossly over-inflated view of himself, who boasts and throws insults constantly from his obnoxious loud slobbering mouth. Even after repeated smackdowns he still won't shut up. He really hates both of his brothers, but especially us. He's recently been adopted by a new dysfunctional family. Most of his new 'brothers' beat him up--sometimes mercilessly. Strangely, like a battered wife who stays with her man, he still loves them.

Draw your own conclusions as to who is each little brother."

Wait for it. If Tceh wins tonight, aggy will claim a basketball title because they used to be in the B12.
The maggies are prolly already doing so based on the Lady Bears winning.

The aggies last championship in women's basketball was 2011. Our's was 1986. Not a great point.

When was the last time aggy had a NC in Baseball, Men's swimming, Men's golf or Women's swimming?

Well, WorsterMan, to be fair w/r/t aggy and baseball, Texas has been to Omaha 36 times and winning it 6 times. aggy has only been there 6 times, so them never winning an NC in baseball is misleading and unfair comparison to Texas (I'm using aggy logic here).

aggy never won a NC in baseball - UT has 6 skins
aggy never won a NC in Men's or Women's swimming - UT Men have 14 skins: Women 9 skins
aggy has won 1 NC in Men's golf 2009 - UT has 3 - most recently in 2012
aggy never won NC in volleyball - UT has 3 skins

aggy does have UT beat in Equistrian & Meat Judging - multiple NC's - UT has 0 in "sports" they don't field a "team"

And from 2000-2016 they had a far superior football program. And I don't let it bother me.
 
Even 2010 to 2016 is arguable. They may have been better but not necessarily "far superior".

2000 to 2016 is a complete nonstarter. Nobody could possibly argue that.
 
In six trips to Omaha, I don't believe the Aggies have won a single game, much less a championship; however, LSU has a few, so the Aggies can claim those.

The Aggy money thing goes back to the 1-2 years Aggy was raising money for the stadium expansion. It’s the latest year available from public sources. Note this was in 2010-2014 when oil was $110/bbl

Just wow....

Her lame comebacks, unsupported claims, unjustified boasting about aggy so fully encapsulate so many aggys mindsets I have met over the years. It's like arguing with a crazy man or Forrest Gump... it wears you down and you just walk away.

The only claim or "fact" she could think of was aggy had more $$$ than UT.... true in her mind just because she said it.

It is a sports show so who knows what she was saying but...

From '12-'16 they were clearly a better team. I'd be interested to hear arguments to the contrary.

I think a constant argument on this subject is the attempt by some to claim a superior aggie program by slicing and dicing seasons. take your argument above for example, or those that argue aggie is a better team because since going to the sec sec sec aggie has a near perfect first half of tevery season (and ignore the eventual whipping aggie takes in conference play in the sec, and before that the Big12 and swc).
Try this one, what about last season. aggie "Texas lost to Maryland" at opening of season" Aggie won half time and the first half of the season. aggie is better. (ignore Texas kicked Georgia rear end and aggie stream of losses in second half of season.) Don't compare last year's record or quality wins. Recruiting rankings are fixed. Getting beat in the sec is all you need to claim aggie superiority....
Ignore the fact that Bevo almost killed UGA on national tv v aggie corp "squeezing themselves on espn.

aggie made a move that is in many ways better for them but it wasn't because they are now a superior team. And in some ways it is bad because the Texas schools of the Big 12 made fun of the aggies for their cult behavior, but tolerated aggie. aggie jokes had been told at Thanksgiving time that they were no longer funny. Now the sec sec sec teams openly laugh and scratch their heads about all boy cheerleaders, squeezing their packages, sawing, whooping, preventing the other teams girl cheerleaders from walking on the grass etc etc etc. aggie is a cult, don't care, but it is true. slicing years and dicing seasons for the purpose of "superiority' is just more cult behavior from the school of agriCULTure.
 
Longhorn Dave,

Thanks for the elucidation on aggy's name --- years ago aggy officially changed the name of the school from Texas Agricultural and Mechanical University to just Texas A & M, which of course means that A & M now stands for nothing.

But, until your post I never realized another possibility --- the subliminal message of the previous name: Texas AgriCULTural and MechANicAL ....

Lookout Dave, you just gave the aggsy some ammo.

They spend double on research than Texas does according to that website you posted. Of course the result is Maroon vegetables.

What's really funny about that argument is that assuming it's even true, what do they call us over at TexAgs? The "whorns?" Because we're all about the money, and are convinced that we're great because we're rich?" But A&M has more money, so that makes them "right there with us?"

OK then...

And your response was why are you looking at the cheerleaders?

Your response should be "Yes, but ours have the good sense to stand in the back and not block the view."

I'm honestly beginning to think if an aggie RB broke Barry Sanders records for yards and TD's in a season some here would come up with multiple reasons why it wasn't all that impressive.
 
Do you know why Aggy crossed the road?

















He couldn’t get his pecker out of the chicken.
