Variable rate loan. Helped them get a lower down payment.

Rip started out as aggy after graduating from Taylor High School, but finished with a degree at UT.

He overcame a lot of adversity. Taylor Duck, aggy Corp dork.  But was later a UT grad and member of Texas Sigma Chi.  What was his handle on TOS?

You can bet aggy claims him. Like they claim Horace Carswell, who attended aggy one year, hated it, transferred to TCU, lettered in football on a MNC team, graduated from TCU, and was awarded the MoH posthumously. Since he’s dead and can’t object, aggy claims him as one of their MoH winners. 

Stolen valor. Another aggy turdition.

Wasn’t he “Rip Torn” on Hornfans?

Lots of talk in the news about the first California tropical storm since 1939.  You know what else happened in 1939?  Whoop!

That’s enough correlation without causation for me to believe.

He was in the Corps before graduating from Texas.

If Poland invades Germany does that reverse history and take away aggys lone trophy?

Oh Boy! The era prior to face masks and no T-shirts to celebrate the achievement. Prior to even being on TV.

Marconi may have broadcast their games that year.

The repeat of the game with App State is on ESPNU right now.   This is almost as enjoyable to rewatch as the ass whopping we put on OU last season.

Guys, he's right. As far as I know, Texas has never been able to stand a candle against A&M. Doubt we've even tried, tbh

From a characteristic standpoint, “stand a candle” doesn’t mean a thing.  

Beyond that, I celebrate the writer’s bold use of semi-coherent phrases as stand-alone sentences.  You, sir, have represented your mechanical college well.

I notice the author of this doesn't mention academics.

From a grammar standpoint, it is clear why that is the case.

And, that is a very large university to have only one academic building.

Given their clear issues standing logs, I'm not sure I'd trust them even trying to stand candles.

Many years ago on one of the now defunct Longhorn message boards, somebody said "aggys were the greatest unintentional comedians of all time," or something to that effect.  Truer words have never been spoken.   "Ignoring the athletic record for a minute" should read "ignoring the athletic record for over 100 years."

Over 100 years?

Try over 129 years.

And the "Liberty Bell" was to help sell U.S government debt in or about 1947. There were given to each state and several more were made available. The state of Texas was more about the Texas state independence.

People who fall off of it.  Our poor taste jokes aside, their alumni, student groups, and administration should have been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for that shitshow.  Fuck them, fuck that entire cult.  And for every Longhorn who thinks like they do.  It's all the same shit.  It's just shit.
