Official say something nice about Texas A&M thread

[redbug56]

i'll still root for them when Gillispie's gone.

Born and raised in Mena, I'm a lifelong Razorback fan. Being a former student at A&M, I have to say that the numerous respected traditions at A&M are my favorites. I particularly like Silver Taps, a very poignant memorial of any Aggie who dies. http://aggietraditions.tamu.edu/silvertaps.shtml

They haven't killed any students with insane bonfires in several years.

I have nothing against UA, my granfather went there.  But, comments like this are uncalled for.  You are making humor about something in which 12 college students were killed.  This is something that if you said to any aggie's face, you would not enjoy what came next. 



(Since I came onto your board)
Nice thing about Arkansas- It has been a while but if I remember right fayetteville is not too far from Devil's Den Park and that place is beautiful with some great caves to explore.

Thanks for staying classy.  I agree with you, that post was uncalled for.

Best thing about texas a&m.....

That shirt is too good, gotta respect that.

[GotPig?]

It's a pretty darned good engineering school.  Plus, they have boatloads of money, which you know drives UT crazy.  That's definitely a good thing.  (I'm sure UT would love to have all that oil money to itself.)   I agree with the first post, too, about their having a good football environment.

I have no ill will against A&M.  It's a great school.  I just want their basketball coach.   

[Chief Mac]

With all the negativity out there...I thought this would be necessary

I'll start by saying that they have one of the best football enviroments in college football. The 12th man is loud and it is a great home-field advantage

They aren't the Texass shorthorns?

[chromehog]

Hmmmmmmmmmm, well?

i got something.

They have a nice nickname.

texas a&m Aggies!!

You like the nickname Aggies?     HHHMMM

[Pork Twain]

They do not suck AS bad as the Texass shorthorns

[chromehog]

If they have a board that insanehog can't get on I would probably move there.

[pigfeet]

Ugh.........


I think they have at least oe good looking girl on campus?

There, will that work?

Bar beer is exceedingly cheap in College Station, unlike hoity toity Dickson Street.

[slopinhogs]

they also have fairly good academics.

 A&M fans ARE dedicated.  Who else would register on another school's boards in huge numbers and be willing to use SO much time and energy (often undercover) to make a great nuisance of themselves?  I admire their will to show us what a real aggie is like.  The positive?   My son, a junior in high school, just scratched A&M off his list of schools to consider.

[SAUhog08]

Bacon, you are aware that A&M is a higher ranked school academically than UA, right?
