Kind of what happens when you don't live up to the hype...year in and year out. Little boy who cried WOLF.

So here is a serious answer...

Our alumni run around acting like we matter in college football when we are irrelevant in college football. The last time we won anything was almost 100 years ago. We have been in the SEC for 13 years and haven't even made a championship game. We are irrelevant but we strut around like we win every year.

Our alumni run around acting like we are leaders in global business when our most successful business alumni runs a Mexican bread company. We don't run the boardroom and c suite, we are known for producing cubical sitting engineers

Our alumni run around like we make waves in entertainment when our most famous entertainment alumni was kinda well known for his mustache 50 years ago. Heck, I can't even remember that guys name right now. Next up after him would be who exactly... Lyle Lovett? A country guy who is the epitome of d list and once wrote a song about a pony on a boat.

Our alumni act like our campus is god's heaven on earth when it is in fact 110 degrees every day, overrun by bugs, covered with soviet bloc architecture, and in the middle of nowhere.

Maybe people wouldn't hate A&M if we weren't so dang obnoxious all the time.

Are you high???? The CEO of Saudi Aramco is an Aggie. Wears his ring.

CEO of Fubo. Aggie.
Darren Woods, CEO of ExxonMobile...Aggie
Toby Rice, CEO of EQT...Aggie
Noel Wallace, CEO of Palmolive...Aggie
Greg Garland, former president of the Board at Phillips 66....Aggie

Thats just a handful off the top of my head. To say Aggies are not involved at the highest levels of corporate America is beyond stupid.

They should donate a ton for our NIL efforts.

Or just sip-led media companies…..

It's only the Aggie fans themselves that think "all" the outsiders hate us. It stems from this "woe is me" mentality that's a byproduct of not having won on the major sports playing fields.

Truth be told, majority of outsiders don't really think about us. And why would they?
As soon as we get close to breaking thru, we'll have a fart and fall over moment on national television.

Outside of a giggle and a shoulder shrug, they don't really think of us. Certainly nowhere near the % that most Aggie fans think they do.

Granted, we stew over it a ton ourselves…..but outside of ourselves, we're not occupying much of outsider people's head space at all.

this times eleventy billion.

i would also say the internet seems to magnify the worst for all fans and not representative of what i see /hear/experience in real life.

. i don't spend much time considering what others think of our traditions and I'm proud of what we have accomplished- and cheer for us to achieve more

Having lived in the Southeast, West Coast, and middle of the Pacific (literally across the county) after leaving CS what I've found is nobody gives a ****, at least those few who follow college athletics, which mirrors the Pew research finding that the majority of Americans don't closely follow college or pro sports.

Which again, leaves that unrepresentative bunch from rival sites making fun of the Ags because it brings some kind of juvenile self-affirmation, most likely stemming from likes, upvotes, or some such.

It's bizarre to me, grown men acting like children.

I mean, there a sip posters on this very thread who take pleasure in creating multiple accounts, writing long-winded gobbledygook to denigrate our school, and have conversations with themselves to bolster their trolling.

And we should feel bad because why?

These people are ******s.

People mostly love Aggies, but they don't respect our football team. And we haven't really won anything big so I sort of understand it, but the media bias is kind of gross at times. But let them hate.

Looking forward to next year.

And it doesn't get any more obvious than what this Will Backus jackass from CBS wrote about the Aggie's loss to Miami. He makes it sound like the Ags were curb-stomped by Miami when they won by one touchdown. And that came about mostly from 2 plays/long runs by their rb. In reality, poor qb play AND play calling is all that kept the Aggies from curbstomping a mediocre Miami team.And he thinks WE were the only team that had a weak schedule?!? That's laughable! Backus is an outright TAMU hater! That article is rife with vitriol.
