I thought aggy despised "t-shirt" fans.

They hate us and they hate our fans. Because of the legends they tell themselves about us, not anything we actually do. They will make up whatever BS they need to to justify their irrational nonsense.

You can always tell which one in the group is the aggy. And if not, he/she will let you know they are aggy in the first few sentences they speak to you or ask 'where'd you go to school?'.

I just have a general question about aggy. I am a die-hard Red Raider in his late 30s so I know what aggy is generally. I know why I dislike them and make fun of them and I know you guys do the same. My question is why do they hate UT so much, other than better academics, a better town, better athletics and facilities? Does aggy hate the liberal setting in Austin because they are mostly backward idiots? Are the aggy t-shirt fans mostly white trash and think of you guys as snobby elitists?  I saw a guy post on Texags when you guys beat Tennessee Tech “that he hates UT to the very core of his being”.

They act that way because they have a 2" dick.

Jimbo  admitted that he still was learning all of the aggy ways.  He said he was presented with a thick book when he was hired back in December to offer him the back story as to why a&m's muster, 12th man and other traditions were so revered.  He "quipped" that the only book thicker is his play book....and that he added a team tradition after experiencing his first aggy ring ceremony and made each player write down what the a&m helmet means to them.

We are gonna like jimbo, I believe.

I wondered just how and why the animosity between aggy and Ut started, so I did some research, gathered various documents, discussed it with some Texas historians and found my answer.

From the beginning, aggy was disliked by the people of Texas because it was a construct of the Republican Reconstruction legislature, not of the "legitimate" people of Texas. It wasn't 'by Texans, for Texans." Also, the federal government established a small endowment when the ag college was started, but funding it was largely a financial obligation forced upon hte state by the hated Reconstruction federal government.

The PUF was created in 1958, but when aggy opened its doors in 1876 (a date mandated by the federal legislation), the University was still getting sorted out. To gain funding, the agricultural interests in the legislature tried to pass a bill that would have no established the university, made aggy the de facto university, and given the entire PUF to aggy. The business interests in the state went nuts and, with the help of the governor, slapped the aggy board of directors back into their place. That pissed off the aggy directors. Also, when the university was hiring professors, they hired none from the ag college. The ag professors took this as an insult.

Moving forward, as the ag school was largely a high school for miscreant farm boys, the Board of Regents wanted nothing to do with the ag college and wouldn't grant them money from the PUF. There were a lot of fights. In 1915 and 1919, there were amendments to sever the two institutions, but they were voted down, so the UT BOR was essentially stuck with the branch ag school. The ags went to the legislature to force the BOR to help fund the ag college. The BOR didn't like having the legislature constantly interfering.

All this time, teh ags were constantly acting like jackasses and the majority of the people of Texas saw them as an annoyance.

So, you have the ag college and the university regents fighting over money, constantly bringing the legislature in to interfere, and the ag students were seen as second rate by the people of Texas.

Those early squabbles intensified over time. In the 1930s, UT was already admitted to the AAU, while aggy was fighting to keep its accreditation.

It was a shitshow from the start. The two factions have never peacefully co-existed.

Since news outlets have yet to report on this and Texas A&M University has failed it’s students and it’s community, I will spread awareness via social media. Please share to support and to be part of the solution to this problem. 

 


Austin Van Overdam was found responsible for rape by the Title IX board and only given ONE semester of suspension and was allowed to return to the A&M swim team to compete. He tried to claim the victim was mentally ill and that depression made her an unreliable source, ultimately gaslighting her and making her afraid to speak out against it. The victim later emailed A&M’s head swimming coach explaining her disappointment that they let Overdam back onto the team to compete. Lori Williams, Sr. Associate Athletic’s Director for A&M and once the Title IX coordinator, intercepted the email to proudly claim that they did the bare minimum punishment that Title IX allows and that they will not take further action. The email sounded quite condescending with, “regret your displeasure,” and, “seek healing”. How is the victim supposed to seek healing when A&M holds this athlete up on a pedestal and refuses to take him off the team nor kick him out of the university? 

When Stanford rapist, Brock Turner, was convicted of rape they banned him from campus. Why is Austin Van Overdam still on campus and still competing on the A&M swim team? Because Texas A&M University cares more about their athletic teams winning than they do about the safety and well-being of their students.

Attached is the victim’s tweet (which now has 3,700 RTs and over 7,000 likes) with Lori William’s email and a screenshot of Austin Van Overdam’s swimming profile. 

Here are some people you need to be contacting if this disgusts you as much as it does me. 
Lori Williams - lwilliams@athletics.tamu.edu
Jay Holmes (head coach) - jholmes@athletics.tamu.edu
Blanca Lupiani (dean of faculty) - dof@tamu.edu
Anne Reber (dean of students) - studentlife@tamu.edu
Michael Young (president of A&M) - PresidentYoung@tamu.edu 

If you’re not angered and disgusted, you are part of the problem.

That's fucked up but you know aggy won't do anything morally right when it involves one of their athletes.  I can't wait for the victim shaming that is forthcoming by the aggy faithful who have never even heard of this dude before.

I'm in Birmingham for work (I know, FML) and was catching the Pawwwwl Finebaum show on the way back to the hotel.  Doofus McDoofusPants called in from College Station and asked what the national perception would be when aggy beats down Clempson in the opener.  Finebaum was polite, but you could tell he had some "bless your heart" in his response.  Aggy left satisfied.  Gonna be a bad Thursday night of football for them.

I'm very confused. It'll be a horrendous Thursday night for them if they lose their opener, because they open with Northwestern State not Clemson.

I was giving an aggy shit on the twitter account because of the fake aggy military "history" claims. We were talking about the aggy lie that more aggys served as officers during WWII than graduates of USMA and USNA combined.

I substantiated the number of academy graduates that served during WWII, but he is stating I have no proof those graduates didn't serve as enlisted personnel. Therefore, in his mind, the aggy claim is probably true.

True story.

Well, the SEC is so difficult that probably not even 10% of teams in it can post a winning conference record, ya stupid sip.

A losing record in the SECSEC would be undefeated in the BDF, you stupid sip!  That's not debatable.

I'm not sure which I hate more, the arrogance of the athletics program that thinks so little of the intelligence of it's fans that it would ask someone to pay money to sit in one of those seats, or the idiocy of fan that does so happily.
