Tell Me About Texas a&m

[jimmyjazz 45997]

Wait, they took a WR from Iowa?  IOWA?

They went 10-4 with a great defense and no offense to speak of.  Well done, Ags.

Again! Fuckin’ Texum Bulldogs. 
 

They’re the Rodney Dangerfield of colleges. Of course they don’t deserve any respect. 

Quote

But while that might sound like a great arrangement for the program, it's not favored by everyone in College Station — namely the students.
 

In fact, some of them strongly oppose the idea. "Hate it," even.

--

When Quinn Leith clocked into work for the day — a job working in the Aggie apparel industry — he wasn't expecting much. It was a typical afternoon, and as his role required, he was to unpack shipments of gear for them to be set out.

…

All of them were Adidas; a byproduct of Texas A&M's long-standing agreement with the German manufacturer, but that was normal. 

What wasn't normal were the logos and writing on some of the gear shipped in.

"I didn't even realize it at first," Leith said, recounting a time when he experienced some merchandise abnormalities at work. "They asked me if I could go grab a pair of shoes from the back, and when I picked it up, I noticed the (Mississippi State) logo."

Mississippi State, which also happens to have maroon as its featured color, is also an Adidas school. Naturally, Texas A&M isn't the only program in the country to use the brand for its uniforms and merchandise, but the main gripe from the students' perspective

is the lack of unique products.

 

"There isn't any customization from one school to the other," Another Texas A&M Student, Elizabeth Gargis, said. "When you look at Mississippi State and some other schools, the fan apparel is largely the same, just with a different name." 

Leith experienced a handful of incorrect shipments — most notably items that were supposed to be for Mississippi State — but while such errors were few and far between, they were enough to leave a negative impression on not only him, but his coworkers.

“It just rubs us the wrong way," he said. " We would get the exact same stuff, but with 'Bulldogs' written on it instead of 'Aggies.'"

Whoop!

"So Josh has taken over Herbie's annual quest to pump aggy up to contender status?"

He's more of an aggy pumper than Herbie ever was. Seems Josh and his team went to an game in Collie station and Billy and his texaggy crew seized the opportunity. Pate has been relaying aggy propaganda to his national audience ever since. M&WMC in action, aggy finally learned how to play the game they think we've been playing for decades. Whoop!

I was actually in the Harris County jury assembly hall that day and the stupid fucking cops had Fox News on. The best part was those morons were talking about how the suspects left a self portrait of themselves next to the bomb and that it was flicking off the cops taunting them and so the suspect was known to BPD and would be brought to justice.

Then we find out it is just a lite bright kit of the mooninites. You can't possibly be that stupid but here we are.

After a hurricane, a whole shit ton of power line poles needed to be replaced. The local electric company hired a crew of UT grads, a team of Rice grads, and a team of aTm grads to do the work. After the first day, the crews came back to the foreman and he asked how man poles they got put in. The Rice crew said "we got 28 put in today." The UT crew said, "we got 30 put in today." The aTm crew looked at the foreman and said, "we got 3 put in!" The flabbergasted foreman looked at the aTm lead and said,  "wtf, man!? Why'd you only get 3 done when the Texas guys and Rice guys got 30 and 28?" The aTm lead, with a smug look on his face, said to the foreman, "You should see how much of the pole they left sticking out of the ground!"

Nothing but respect for the guys (and gals) that actually serve. But acting like they’re a military school with a history of military awesomeness is absurd. The vast majority of the idiots in uniform are cosplay. Might as well be furries. 

[msucolt45 4063]

Yes - congratulations to those actually serving, but for the vast majority of aggy corps it’s cosplay. Nothing to beat the drum about as a vast amount of colleges have ROTC programs that send kids into the military.

Are you implying that Billy and his crew manned the glory holes for Josh’s crew?  

[jimmyjazz 45997]

That helmet "ranking" is hysterical.  First, the writing is off the charts bad, with typos and misspellings all over the place ("while the helmet ascetically basic") and an absurd reliance on the word "clean", and to a lesser extent "classic".

Beyond that, if you think the MSU helmet sucks, you have to think the A&M helmet sucks.  They're twin sons of different mothers.

To laud OU's helmet but criticize Alabama's helmet makes no sense whatsoever.  Again, twin sons, different mothers.

The rest I can take or leave, I don't care what this Aggie dipshit thinks of ours, UTenn, UF, Auburn, UK's, whatever.  These dorks just can't help themselves.

This.  As a berated point, their insistence upon their military history and excellence at this point is nothing but an affront to the actual young men and women who are actual ROTC grads who go to brave officer service in the Armed Forces.  Their incessant bullshit about their tradition of valor and leadership in all branches is just a spit in the face to the actual ROTC grads, most notably their huffing and puffing about the proud tradition of the Corps of Cadets which can't even play the pan flute.  Dozens of colleges manage to graduate more ROTC officers each year while maintaining the ability to shut the fuck up about their military tradition.  

Only thing A&M is worse at than building fake army leaders is building fake log structures.

Well, he said our helmet has been the same for two decades, so it’s clearly not classic. And with baby puke orange (as those mouth breathers like to call it) on a white background, it’s the opposite of clean.
 

His logic is sound for those on the inside looking out. And licking the windows.

When I was a youth and going with the family from Dallas to visit family in SETX, we’d always stop in Fairfield for dinner. I think the BBQ stop was called Sam’s. Anyways, they always had like a “store” around the checkout area that sold aggy joke books. I always got the newest addition and I’d read it to my parents and the laughter ensued. Even the “cartoon” drawings were funny. Man I wish that I still had a couple of those. Talking late ‘70s.
