Rice undergrad + two masters from A&M.

All that education and he still thinks he can make a cogent argument that will sway fellow Aggies.  The cherry on top?  He posted it on LinkedIn.  The ultimate Aggie move.

[DaggerHorns 3,147]

It’s scary that what he said would be a great start on becoming successful. That school culture will never change their ways which will keep them forever entrenched in mediocrity.

I be always said the biggest difference is that we lose one game and we want to burn down the school and fire everyone. They lose 4 games and keep themselves ranked as the greatest program of all time which keeps them content; forever crippling their pursuit of greatness. It’s beautiful.

I like listening to Klatt now. Watching that game in real time, I loved the crushing victory (we could have named any score we liked in a conference championship!), and I loved the hit (sans penalty). Looking at old videos and stills of the hit makes me feel a little bad for him now. I guess I'm going soft.

I damn near got in a fist fight with one of my best friends (Vol grad) who accused TX of running up the score.  If TX wanted to run up the score, they would have scored 100.

I think they have a decent number of good songs, but stuff like Rock You Like a Hurricane props them up more than merited, imo. I like their semi-older stuff — No One Like You and The Zoo, e.g. — more. I’m not saying they’re bad by any means. They’re like a top twenty team that somehow made it into top ten.

Something has to be said.

Texas A&M Football had a decade away, in the best conference in the world, to build our own identity separate from Texas. I thought we’d done it. We clearly haven’t.

Texas A&M’s student body throws Horns Down right now more than it throws Gig ‘Em. It’s the most disappointing, old school, 1-and-11-is-fine-if-the-one-is-tu-Giggumhowdy crap I’ve seen in a lifetime of college football fandom. The scoreboard cutaways last night were absolutely packed with little brother energy. We’re ready to jump right back down to the little kids’ table.

There’s a fix, and I hope you’ll join me in considering it.

It’s how we manage our story at Fish Camp and in the traditions. It’s in all the official touchpoints of defining who we are, to incoming students. It’s okay to throw an occasional Horns Down, but right now it’s our identity. That can’t be. It’s a huge problem. Our identity needs to be Texas A&M, and good luck to the boys in orange. They’re a respected rival and otherwise not our concern.

At this moment, despite all the money, despite all the determined and talented people working to make this the best program in the country: we are and have been a second-tier football team. I hate that, but it’s the truth. We have more 4-win seasons than 10-win seasons in my adult life. So we, like many others, are trying to make the leap into that first tier and compete for national championships. The Horns Down identity is a crippling and permanent disadvantage in that battle, for as long as it remains. Point blank, a program obsessed with beating and demeaning a single rival will never, ever make that leap.

Texas fans, crow all you want. We deserve it. Right now, we are who you always thought we were.

We can act decisively to get rid of the Horns Down, little brother way of doing things, or it will dominate Texas A&M Football’s destiny forever.

What did I miss? What am I wrong about? If you think Horns Down is harmless fun, let me know in the comments.

(EDIT: thanks to all of you who are commenting! Please consider reposting or even copy-pasting if you want. I don’t care at all about the exposure for myself; the more people who adopt this idea as their own, the better chance that it will be seen by administration and taken seriously.)

"The dictionary defines untrack as an active verb meaning "to cause to escape from a slump." In Webster's Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged, the definition for untrack was a little more literal: "to cause to move out of one's tracks: cause to get going.""

https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/get-on-track-versus-come-untracked-phrase-usage

I don't give a fuck what the dictionary says.

If you're trying to get "untracked," that means you're currently "tracked," and what the fuck does that mean?  I've never heard anyone say they were tracked.   

People who use terms like "untracked" and "for all intensive purposes" and "should of" and "could of" reveal themselves to be very stupid people who don't fucking READ anything and learn their language solely from listening.
