What is with the aggression for A&M/Texas fans?

You are being dishonest with yourself.

The problem with fans of BOTH Tex and Tex AM is that they have been looking down their collective noses at Louisiana and Louisianans for many decades now. Let me make myself clear: whatever scorn and wrath that Louisiana can manage to heap on Texas and Texans is justified. You Texans threw down the gauntlet to Louisiana's Sons long ago. Stop whining and wondering why we picked the gauntlet up and smacked you up-side the head.

Stop wondering why we dislike you guys and your schools . . . you earned every unkind thought ever conjured by a Son of Louisiana.

PS If you ever come to Baton Rouge and some 80 year old lady spits tobacco on your shoes, it's probably my Grandmaw Lafitte . . . just keep walking if she offends you, because her cane is hiding a very sharp rapier.

(how's that for nasty)

so have many here yet it doesn't make them any less of a homo.

 

No, making fun of traditions may not mean much, but a lot of the other stuff posted on this board definitely smacks of a lack of tolerance, and, frankly, poor sportsmanship. It is nothing at all like using lower case letters in abbreviating Texas University!

Frankly, it appears that some posters on this board have some serious homophobia. I can't imagine how any person (at least any male!) could be homosexual. But, I have enough tolerance in my thinking and beliefs to let it be. Gays will be gays. As long as they don't bring it around me, I could not care less. I have a major client who is gay. He doesn't hide it, but he doesn't hit on me or any other straight people. And, he is one of the finest people and finest businessmen that I have ever known. He just happens to like dudes instead of chics as the good Lord intended. But loving one's university and its traditions does not make one gay!

Oh yeah, that's just like saying saw tu's horns off! Geesh! I don't even know what "villanary" is!

funny - aTm yell leader farks... HA HA HA

Another fine quote. You and your mother must both be so proud...

More of the same...

Funny, Lafitte. I guess you don't realize that I was born and reared in Baton Rouge, I lived off of Highland Road just down from LSU and grew up in Tiger Stadium! My father was a well-respected, high profile government official. His father was a Louisiana Senator, and served five terms in the U.S. House of Representatives out of the 1st District in New Orleans. He and his good pal, Huey Long, incidentally, were huge LSU football fans! So, I'd wager that I am every bit as much of a "Louisiana Son" as you are! Who do you mean by "you guys?" Am I am one of those guys you dislike? I attended my first LSU game in 1962. I attended the most recent game a few weeks ago. In between, I attended LSU and I have also attended well over 100 games and yelled about as loud as anyone else in support of my Tigers.

I moved to Texas to attend graduate school at Texas A&M in 1983. I found it to be a fine academic institution with very fine people. I particularly liked that over 95% of the student body held very conservative political beliefs. And, the faculty was not, overall, as far left as LSU and many other universities. I wished I could have studied under Phil Gramm, but he was already gone from the faculty by the time I was there. Instead, I had the privilege of campaigning for him when he won his first U.S. Senate term.

Yes, I suppose I am now a Texan, but, I don't look down my nose at Louisiana or Louisianans! I still have a lot of friends and family in Louisiana. Oh, I'll admit that I've been known to call the state "Lousyanna" or "loseyourante" from time-to-time. But it's just been in fun, and much like self-deprecating humor, since I do consider myself a "Louisiana son."

Further, in the 21 years I have been here in Texas, I have never encountered one person who appeared to look down upon Louisianans. So, my posts on this thread have been intended simply to counter the negative things said about Aggies. Most, if not all, of the people saying them really don't know the people. It's just a stereotype. I personally, don't think it's entirely healthy. I, too, held a somewhat negative stereotype of Aggies when I was young and stupid (before I was educated there!). So, I am just trying to use my experience to help out some of you guys! :yelwink2:

Begging your pardon, but stories of swords being drawn on UT fans who dared to step onto Kyle Field is, oh, about a trillion times worse than any corndog-smelling LSU fan lobbing a "Tiger Bait" in the direction of an opposing fan.

"Intoletance"? What's so tolerant of berating people who say, "Gee, we just don't get what's so special about building a huge bonfire." I say that the fact that those kids were up there at o dark thirty, improperly supervised and in some cases intoxicated, directly contradicts the premise that the "Aggie bonfire" is symbolic of something "sacred".

Calling weird, "Weird" isn't intolerant, it's being blunt.

PS-Yes, I've visited College Station many a time, been on campus, even served in ROTC alongside some Ags, but they're still true blue strange.

 

What does that mean?

 

I don't give a sh*t about them. Don't know why they are so concered about us. That said, I'd love to see a matchup with UT in the Cotton Bowl, but that looks to be out with AU winning the SECCG.

 

Well, I can't imagine what it means, since I'm no crybaby and since I am a regular Tiger fan in the stadium and on this forum! Do you say it because I said good things about Aggies? I say much better things about LSU! I don't believe I've insulted or spoken harshly of anyone! That is unless you consider saying that some people need to learn more tolerance is doing so. I stongly believe that there are many juvenile, immature, and closed minded people who would be well served to learn to be more tolerant of others. May God bless you all; may you find peace; and may the Lord help you to be more tolerant of others and of the things that make them different from you.
