Why the fuck are they embarrassed about the A and M?

Everything about them is derivative. “Texas” is primarily associated with UT. “A&M” and “Aggies” is generic and shared by a number of other schools.  “Texas Aggies” is ever so much like “Texas” (the UT kind).  A big T is derivative of UT. Even “Texas A&M” reminds them of their little brother status to just plain “Texas.”  
 

That’s why they rely on the cosplay army, dead dogs, etc., etc.  Comstantly trying, and failing, to establish their own identity.

What is one uniform that you like that everyone else hates? : r/CFBUniversity of Maryland's signature football uniform incorporates the flag  on the helmet and shoulders : r/vexillology

Those were fun, and Marylanders love their flag. Grey onesies are so much worse.

I say that as someone literally looking at the white NC State versions. The uniforms are dogs.

Also, these exist:

Holy shit forgot about those. Hilariously awful.

These weren’t as bad but were also terrible:

Yeah, but it was awesome that they wore them against us and their once in a lifetime QB got Diggs’d. So much for that marketing gimmick.

aggy belongs in Tier 5 with the rest of the generic losers.

 

I'd move Tennessee to Tier 2 (though they shouldn't be) and everyone else into Tier 5. All of Tier 3 is otherwise an an also ran and a couple of used to bes.

It's a shitty list and structure but I guess anything for clicks.

He’s the Chariots of Fire guy. If you’ve never seen the movie, you should. Top-10 sports movie, IMHO.

OK, which one of you assholes is this? There's no way they're THAT sentient. 

If they are, then they're broken.

I hesitate to reply. I feel like I'm walking into a quagmire of shit posting from which I will never escape.

However, in case there are people who are not aware of it, this is a standard phrase of which they're very proud. 

Aggie Glossary – Austin Texas A&M Mothers' Club

Aggieland – The term describing Texas A&M and Bryan-College Station.

“Aggies never lose, though they may run out of time” – Said after a losing effort implying that the team would have won if the game had gone on longer.

Association of Former Students – Rather than being called the Texas A&M alumni association, the words “Former Students” are used because it was felt that the term “alumni” would imply that a graduate would be an “ex-Aggie.” But once an Aggie, always an Aggie, so the word “alumni” was deemed inappropriate.

To pile on the "derivative" comments elsewhere on the thread, they don't say it in the above paragraph, but using "former students" rather than "ex" in regards to their alumni base is also derivative to set them apart from the hated T-sips, who call their alumni Texas Exes.

You’re telling me that a glorified GA might not be up to the task of running a major college baseball program?  I’m shocked. Shocked and chagrined.

That doesn’t mean it’s not still the policy. Elko certainly restricted access to truth.

Limiting access to the outside world is typical cultish behavior. I am not sure why anyone should be surprised.
