Since I seem to have created a boost in this thread with my comment 2 (?) days ago…
My comment about "It's all your fault" and being family friendly came down to the fact that there are a lot of kids playing bat and ball sports who watch Aggie sports. Do we want to teach them that those words are proper sportsmanship? On a juvenile level, that would be considered bullying. On a college level, it's considered toughening.
I have attended a few games this season with the old Ag who pays for the seat I sit in. The response to the "all your fault" chant originated from a Class of '86 Ag who said it was embarrasing. I didn't disagree, but since it came from someone who gives a lot more to A&M than I could ever think about, I felt the need to share.
I am Class of '77. Played and been around sports over 60 years of my 70 years on this earth. I disagree that "it's all your fault" is embarrassing, bullying, or whatever else. I also am privileged to know a lot of present and former Aggie (and other college team) players. None of them would be offended or whatever by whatever 203 says. In fact, they would be ticked somebody thought it was out of line. Part of the game they love.
They and I would agree that "so and so sucks" is lame. Not because of vulgarity. But because of lack of creativity. And it seems 203 has corrected that on its own. I really dislike the Aggie "crowd police" unless there are genuine problems.
So you and your '86 Ag bud are entitled to your opinion. And I am entitled to mine.
BTHO OU!
