People respect A&M as an education center. It's our football program people laugh at. To include many Aggies.
Some Ags may want to put their heads under the sand, but there's plenty of online hate, at least when it comes to sports. We're easy targets as a huge school with a ton of pride with some cornball traditions directly related to football. Other than that, it's trivial rivalry smack. If some people can't separate the quality of education from sports, then you should probably not associate with them.
SECrant is a good example. Every school fan gets dogged over there. Each school has an angle to cut'em. For us it's 1939, was 8&4, milkmen yell leaders, (f)aggies, and our general "weirdness" with our traditions - but it's easy to tell they all wish they were as rich in tradition. Talking sports with other fan bases is like watching crap thrown every where. Not for the thin skinned.
As for me, I'm part of a group text with buds with whom I grew up. Most are Ags and a few sips. I'm pretty harsh on the sips because THEY ARE so thin skinned. Sometimes they'll stop responding to me or even block me for a while because they're like women with the silent treatment. It's a hoot!
