The Texas Aggies are conservative in nature and hold strong southern beliefs:

So, do you really believe what he said about the stated networks, which are the money behind football, is false?
Wow!

---

Absolutely. And it's because of an awful world view you'd have to have to think it's true.

As someone who lives in another state I don't see hatred for A&M, I see a lot of eye rolling when an A&M grad inevitably tells you they went to A&M, as if you didn't already know because of the sweatshirt, hat, and bumper sticker.

Not so. It is a realistic view of an increasingly awful world.
Where do you get your news? Not flaming, just an honest difference.

Why would anyone care that we're a research university? That only impresses politicians and leeches.

There is an obvious officiating bias against A&M football. The PC crowd will deny that.

We are not currently and have not been the "Bell Cow" in our conference


Bell Cow gets calls at the expense of everybody else

Absolutely. Programs with a national championship history definitely get the benefit of officiating. Seen it too much. For example, the fumble ruling on Reed was a blown call. Not initially. They first signaled incomplete and BLEW THE WHISTLE. Play dead in college rules. Our players stopped with the whistle and miami fell on the ball. Cristobal got on the refs. They huddled and reversed their call. No review. Absolute BS.

Granted, we should have fallen on the ball anyway. An ncaa rules official reviewed this later and admitted we were screwed. That is just one call/no call that went against A&M. There are at least 4 more but I have a few things to do.

Then tell us who they favor? A&M is top 10 in TV ratings-AHEAD of Notre Dame. But aside from that who do the networks favor in your estimation? The most common answers would be Alabama(NOT liberal at all), Georgia(NOT liberal at all), LSU-Same, Ohio St, Oklahoma, That crazy liberal school-Indiana the last two seasons?

The only people that I have met in person that do not like Aggies were all of a particular political persuasion. Everyone else compares Aggies to Cornhusker fans.

Why start a thread like this?

We are given a hard time because of yell leaders and no cheerleaders, and some old school yells but the people who cannot appreciate and understand the value of traditions can go Fk themselves.

How about the NON holding call we got away with on the LITERAL game winning play against Notre Dame-at their house no less? What about one of the most obvious pass interference missed calls ever that we got away with AT Texas no less? But yeah, let's blame the refs on a loss in a game where we scored 3 points. The fact is-Officiating is way worse than being biased in college. It's just flat out bad. Watching all games(not just A&M) reveals teams getting screwed weekly no matter who they are..

We are the largest university in the state so if you troll us on sports talk radio and sports "news" sites you drive engagement which sells ads

Worldwide respect for our institution, but our football program... hhhmmmmm...

So you automatically assume anyone that wears a t shirt of a program is a graduate?
That's a tu thing

Texas A&M University is extremely well respected.

If the OP is just waddling in sports rankings and shows misery, we won't be lauded like some perennial powers until we actually start bringing home hardware.

People, please stop with the idiotic self-hate extending sports shows to the entire Texas A&M universe.

From what I read on other message boards from the Big 12 days to now the SEC boards and other college team boards it's the Yell Leaders being cringy, beta, meterosexual in an environment and topic of violence and alpha driven.

We can defend it all we want for whatever great valid reasons but it's true that the Yell leaders are seen by others as one of the biggest ambassadors and face of A&M and the perception is seen as very negative.

The tradition is just outdated perhaps. Some traditions are meant to change or even retire. Heck, for the first time since its 1907 to 1915 start, Yell Leaders chose not to wear white uniforms. They wore black for a theme game. That killed tradition that survived since inception and even was voted down in 1999 when there was discussion to wear grey or black to honor the bonfire fallen. We changed and ended it over a theme game.

Let's place the Yell Leaders under the spirit groups and open it to everyone and get female yell leaders involved.

Getting females as Yell Leaders will kill the goofiness others see in those guys.

Keep the Yell boys…. Just add some perky cheerleaders to the sideline. They two are not mutually exclusive.

So, since the yell leaders have gone from corps badasses to metro/gender fluid sissy boys, you think diking it up with some butch chicks will make it better?

Most people you meet in real life are neutral or have a positive opinion of A&M. The hate you see online is because apps like twitter are designed to ragebait you to maximize engagement. The only people I know in real life who genuinely dislike Texas A&M are sips, tech tards, and LSU fans.

They = Greg Sankey, SEC officiating across all sports except volleyball, ESPN, and the tournament selection committees across most athletics. A&M itself is a world class academic and research institution, I have just never seen another university get shafted across the board so much in terms of athletics. This includes the Dallas Morning News and Sip Henchman / NCAA investogator Charles Alan Wright running off Jackie Sherill to ensure A&M didn't continue competing with the evil empire in Austin.

Even most legitimate sips are pretty amicable. I did encounter a few that flexed their Radio / Film / Television degrees, never mind the fact they worked in a call center and as a dental office receptionist.

Because of the school's self-loathing students and graduates?

You may be on to something.

Unfortunately JFF (of today) contributes to the hate.

I think it's more our culture that most people either connect with, or don't. The people who love us, really love us. And those who don't, really, really, don't.

LOL. People are literally calling us "Texas they & them" on instagram in masses now. And those comments are getting thousands of Likes, which pins it to the top of the comments making everyone else see it, and then it gets even more Likes.

Did yall really think A&M being conservative was why anyone doesn't like A&M? Basically all the schools in the SEC are conservative. Everyone just makes fun of the yell leaders. They call us GAY nonstop, all day, everyday. We also get called "Texas Gay & M".

Get out of your bubble. Nobody is jealous. They don't know enough to be jealous.

YELL LEADERS. YELL LEADERS ARE GAY AS HELL.

I want yell leaders to stay… but they need to be our secondary to sexy AF cheerleaders. They are way to front-facing

I guess just be more careful what you feed the algorithm.

Yell leaders have nothing to do with Texas A&M's national reputation as an academic institution.
Neither would cheerleaders.
They also have absolutely zero to do with our athletic teams success or failure.
Lots of stupidity on this thread.
And lots of overly sensitive people who worry too much about what haters on the internet say about A&M.
Haters gonna hate.
I got news for ya...each school in America has a certain subset of haters...it's just now the internet has given these idiots an easily consumed forum to express a misguided opinion.
And a bunch of small- minded pearl clutchers think it's everybody.
It's not..but the haters want you to think it is.

Embrace the hate.

I was born into the hate, molded by it. Societies acceptance means nothing any longer. From the outside you can't understand, from the inside you can't explain.
