Their arrogance dictates that they view us as their "little brother" as a way to make themselves feel superior

---

I think the 77-37-5 advantage head to head and the 4-1 national title lead is why they do that.

---

Yep, and most of those wins for sip happened when Texas A&M was a small all male military "Citidel" of Texas from the 1890's through the 60's whooohooo!! Pat yourself on the back.

The head to head record since the modern age of college football in the 70's with tv money contracts and A&M exponentially growing as a coed non reg University…is basically even depending which year you look at. We also have 3 national titles in program history against your 3.

So using your logic, sip is OU's little brother right? They have 7 national titles.

This. OU deserves to be in the Blue Chip convo far more than sip does. Dont like OU but they have hardware and generational success that sip doesnt.

Yes, that's exactly right, 7 is a lot more than 3 or 4. If we're not judging by # of national titles, I'm not really sure what other barometer of success there is.

What year did we start saying we won the 1927 national championship in? First time I've heard that.

Wish we hadn't played them again. Since we are obligated, just beat the hell outta tu

If the Taliban had a football team and were playing the Sips... I'd pull for the Taliban.

Just curious, what is the empirical evidence that younger people don't hate as much as older people? Have murder and physical assault rates between Longhorn and Aggie fans been trending down? Somebody had an Aggie nephew who wasn't a hater and extrapolated that data point to thousands of people?

Or are younger people just more busy in school and work than retirees and don't have as much time to spend on hating?

You can decide the W-L for each game for both cases.

Which would you pick?

Grew up as child in Austin with Aggie parents many moons ago. You have no idea the arrogance and loud mouths I had to put up with, constant teasing with "poor Aggies" chanted daily during football season. Ugh, terrible sports to the point I have no desire to go to Austin for football games with A&M playing. Love my Ags and PLZ beat the hell out of tu!!!

---

Yep. Their entire identity and self worth is dependent on how they do compared to us. Thats why they love to throw out the "little brother" comments and condescend every chance they get. In their pathetic minds, they are the good guys and we are not.

---

The sips like to indulge in revisionist history.

First in Texas was Texas A&M.
10 years later came t.u.

A&M is THE Texas University.

But when a healthy fun rivalry becomes an obsession, that is when it becomes a problem. Some of us are in that zone.

I hate the fact that I agree with infinityag. But I do.

tu is just another game on the schedule IMO. Or should be. But too many ags make it the centerpiece of the entire season. It isn't, it's just a game and one we need to win on our way to the playoffs to go after the real prize.

I was still on campus when we started claiming the '27 and '29(?) NC's. Somewhere around 1999-2000, pretty much the time the Zone was finished.

Any old Ag was glad to see us leave the sips to wallow in the Big XII when we left for the SEC. Young Ags couldnt wait to play them again.

BS. You posted this on an earlier thread sippy...

---

You're adorable. Class '82 here. I'm an Aggie. My dad was '52, father in law '54, wife '82, son '12.

---

You t-shirt sips that live on this site, posing as Aggies are really weird people. Seriously, it's not normal.

ROFL! My brother graduated from tu way back in 73. He went to A&M for one semester in 1969 and played in the band but left to go to a school with a med school. I have a few cousins that graduated from tu. All of them are orange and white jerks. My son took a visit and hated the place so he ended up in Viz. Sorry to spoil your rant but I lived in Aston 167 for three years. Worked in the theater department working concerts while I was there. Spent most of my time in Aggie Cinema as head of midnight movies. My wife was in Kruger and McFadden. Our son was all over. Hart, Dunn, off campus, multiple appartments. He was there for 8 years until he got his masters in 2016. He works at Electronic Arts now. My Uncle was '51 and fought in the Korean War. He was the first Japanese American commissioned officer in the Navy. Neal Armstrong was in his flight school class. My wife's Uncle was class '42 and was in the Army Air Corps from 1943 to 1946. There is a photo of Rev I taken on a his bunk in the Corps museum. My father in law is a distinguished alum of the College of Veterinary Medicine.
So my roots at A&M go back, I'm guessing, a lot farther than yours. I've been to four Silver Taps to say "Here" for family members. How many have you been to?

Does anyone have a good memory of the controversies from the '98 game?

I seem to remember that tu overwatered their field to create mud before the game. The tu players were given mud cleats and our players didn't bring any (since they weren't expecting mud) and were struggling to maintain their position and balance throughout the game.

98? I just remember RC PREVENTing us from winning that game.

You always want to beat tu - in everything. I don't care if it's out chess team against theirs. Shut those arrogant fans up.

From what I remember, we started claiming the 1919 and 1927 National Championships once we entered the SEC. We use to have huge signs of all our conference championships and the 1939 National Championship on the second level of the West grandstands (the Alumni Side). Once we started updated the stadium, we moved all of our titles outside of the stadium, this included the additional nattys. (Of course this is before the major expansion in 2014-15).

We got a lot of blowback, much like Auburn with it's 7 new titles, for claiming those (pre-poll) national championships, plus we also claimed south divisional championships from 1997 and 2010 even though they aren't considered conference championships. A total hit job from cbs sports.

Their university's official response to the bonfire tragedy was appreciated. However, I was at the game in Austin the year after. I recall hearing all kinds of nasty remarks regarding bonfire and large groups of texas fans wearing shirts depicting the fallen bonfire with the words "What's the matter Aggies? Can't keep it up?"

In my mind, that erased any goodwill they earned and firmly cemented my hate for their fanbase.

Youre pitching a false dichotomy. If we want an sec title we have to beat the sips. A team capable of winning a national championship will house the sips.

1. Win the NC but lose to Texas
2. Beat Texas but do not win the NC.

Like i said, false dichotomy. If we dont beat this texas team we're not winning a national title. So beat them. Amd then win the next one too.

---

No it is not false dichotomy. You just don't want to answer the question.

Your answer likely is "I want to beat Texas" but you don't want to come out and admit it.

Go ahead. Don't be scared. I have people throwing stones at me here all the time. It is no big deal.

---

If you knew ball youd know the best path to the championship is favorable ceding. Beating texas and winning the sec is all we can control, but could realistically result in being #1. Thats the best odds of winning the natty.

I want to beat texas with every fiber of my being and i question why you dont? Youve been telling everyone how much you love texas all day.

---

My friend, it is a simple question that I asked. And you are arguing with me.


1. Win the NC but lose to Texas
2. Beat Texas but do not win the NC.

Can you just answer it? If you don't want to that is fine. Just say so.

I pick (1) without a doubt. I want to beat Texas but I love A&M more than I hate Texas so I want to win the NC more than beat Texas.

---

You should really look up the definition of false dichotomy . Beating texas does not make us less likely to win a natty. What are you even talking about?

---

Why won't you just answer a simple question?

They're our oldest, biggest rival, in the same state, in the same conference, and we play them THIS WEEK.

And THIS WEEK it's fine to be all over their jock.

It's the other 51 weeks of the year, the perpetual horns down crap, the constant dick measuring, etc. that is why Aggie jokes exist and why those burnt orange homos think we are obsessed with them.

You know, the tried and true "as long as we beat tu it's a successful season!" mentality that without a doubt, 100%, kept us mired in the mud as a program for decades. The last 12 years have been glorious IMO of not having them on the schedule and there were optimistic signs at one point that Aggies actually looked more at how Texas A&M could succeed as a program versus how we could find some stupid obscure way to one up them in some form or fashion.

I wish this were true, but it simply isn't. There was all kinds of pining to keep the series and crying at how the Thanksgiving game tradition would die off, etc. for years after we went to the SEC. It was pathetic IMO, but as they say - old habits die hard. And that one certainly never actually died.

The one thing 'sip fears more than anything is a level playing field.

They are not a blue blood program. They've just managed to market themselves as such.

A&M has just held on too tight trying to beat Texas and it was holding them back. Now, things have changed a bit, but still.
