Trouble in Paradise?

I guess if you voluntarily show up for that you are part of the cult.
I wonder how many football players are part of the cult?
I know the players phones are burning up.

I don't know. It didn't seem as if the team was there.

Here is something I've always wondered about. My opinion is that UT is Liberal and A&M is Conservative (Old Sarge stuff). So why do African-American players choose A&M from that point of view? Why do they hear A&M fans using the term T-sip (which is potentially a homophobic insult) or calling Longhorns Liberals?

It's confounding to me I tell ya!
 
Aggy is just an example of "groupthink". All of them pretty much think, dress, and act the same. There hasn't been an original thought come out of that place in who knows how long, but they classify all their jack-assery as "traditions", or is it "turd-di-shuns". Best advice is to avoid the place like the plague.

Your topic borders on politics, so I’ll tread lightly. Where do you come up with “tsip” being homophobic? Isn’t it “tea-sip” as in an indoor man not an outdoor man?
And, African Americans may generally have an interest in government and funding that would be “liberal,” economically, but that is a very different thing than “progressivism.” Lots of black HS football players are from small towns, and they resonate with church, momma, and Dairy Queen. They see A&M as closer to their upbringing than UT.

I'll back off. I get it's politics.
 
My understanding of where the Tea-Sips, Tea-Sippers or T-Sips term aggy uses toward UT (in the mid-1880's), was re: UT students / fraternities / sororities, etc. Stereotyped as mostly soft, entitled, white collar, society people that drank a lot of tea.

This in contrast to aggy: generally more blue collar, trades people, ag / farmers, less refined people that drank a lot of beer. Don't know if aggy had the Corp around the time UT was born in 1883?

Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Well, here's the aggy campus in 1883: (doesn't look much like a going concern now does it?) In the foreground, is the aggy campus shuttle, and also the football team at practice . . . all 5 of them. Don't see any corp-turds.

The SEC Rant has been particularly brutal to aggy. I would expect lots of decommits coming. Nobody wants to be part of a weird cult that is laughed at by all members of the SEC not to mention one that loses to App State. I hope they had recruits scheduled for GameDay this weekend.
 
I am sure they had recruits. Losing to a Div ll school is bad enough but you know even the recruits by now have seen the vids.

iis
is SEC Rant a site?

Can any outsider be right when trying to explain aggy concepts? I heard it was a war reference. The Fightin' Texas Aggies would march off to war while the UT grads would stay home to sip tea because they are not military men.

As someone who had the *ahem* interesting high school experience coming of age in Bryan, TX, the claim is that during WWII, the Corp of Cadets A&M students would be off at war while the UT students were “sipping tea” at home. (I have so many questions, WWII or Viet Nam? Sweet tea or regular iced tea.) :e-thinking:

That’s what I heard before I left for Austin in summer of ‘96.
 
I follow Texags religiously, even though they permanently banned me after years of candid posts. Every year it is the same: full of promise, a swagger like a conquering hero, reveling in the misfortune of others, exaltation at huge margins of victory over under capitalized foes. Then they hit a wall or trip over their dix and of a sudden the coach is a drunk or a fool and the qb should be wearing a dress and whatnot

every year

their jealousy of Bama and contempt for Baylor and Tech and primal loathing of us is almost genetic in its intensity. I enjoy it immensely

I drove back to Corpus after our game Saturday and listened to the end of their contest. There seemed a sense of inevitability in their announcers’ voices, full of hope and dread

when it was over I switched to Tech’s game with Houston and felt myself truly blessed, even though my favorites lost to Bama by a point

Notre Dame’s unpleasantness was kind of nice as well

Sangre , you disagree ?
 
It sounded like Jimbo will be giving up calling the offense.
Even though he said the offensive schemes were done by committee.
Got to protect the paycheck.
No word on how he will fix defense

Thank you for feedback. This issue was way before my time, Tea - Sips may have actually started during WW2... cannot firm.

Jimbo will NOT give up calling the plays. He has one of the best offensive coaches in college ball and demoted him because he couldn't fire him, and Darrell tells Jimbo when he's being is usual dumbass self. Jimbo promotes a "yes" man, puts him in the pressbox and pretends he's calling the plays

BMD Ags are figuring out how much they have to pay and when, but first they want to agree on who they get to replace him. Chicken or the egg situation. Define replacement or find the money?

We had problems the last couple of years, and CDC did a great job of leading the powers that be down the tightrope. Aggie problems are even more complex and may well take a lot longer to fix, if ever.

I went to the last Aggy game and had the privilege? of going to yell practice the night before. Even then I didn’t see anything like what happened before App State. Will forever cherish the dagger courtesy of J Tucker. It was still heavy cringe and they do the dumbest crap. Remember hearing about how cool they thought they were for having male yelling dudes and we were Sissies for having chaps girls and cheer leaders? Makes you wonder…
 
Strongly suspect aggy will lose @ Pyle vs. U. Miami this Sat.

The aggy meltdown and severe vitriol for their football lord & savior, Jumbo Fi$her will be EPIC.

Plus!! some will blame tea-sippers.... they had a role in their defeat.

Oh, man...it's been over 50 yrs since I went to MYP. Hands down its the best show in B/CS...or it was then. It is so staggeringly stupid it is hilarous. There have been a few changes over time, but not many. The biggest problem with MYP is that you have to be in CS after mid-nite & that's when the REALLY WIERD mf'ers come out.
