Married to an Aggie - don’t find them weird. At least they have real football culture. It’s a totally different experience and makes for diehard fans. But I get it.
Not saying A&M alums are individually weird people. Just like UVa alums aren’t individually weird because we say ‘grounds’ and ‘1st year’. But their yell leaders and other crap is far weirder than any other major school’s traditions and they take them more seriously than other fan bases do
Are the Texas Aggie jokes still a thing? Haven’t seen them referenced in years.
Did you hear about the Aggie who got fired from the M&M factory for throwing out all the Ws?
The TexAgs message board is reporting that Coleman has a sprained ankle. There is no discussion about his future availability.
Once upon a time the Aggies had this great player who couldn’t pass his math class. Since he was failing his class, he would not be allowed to play in any more games.
The coach asked the player why he couldn’t pass his tests, and the player said he liked to perform under pressure, and that it would help if he could take the test in the football stadium in front of a bunch of fans.
Well, the coach talked the professor into giving him another chance to take the test and the professor agreed.
So the next day, 50,000 Aggie football fans filed into the stadium to help cheer the star football player on. He sat at the 50-yard line and opened the test up as everyone cheered his name.
The first test question read:
- 2 + 2 =
The football player thought and thought and thought for what seemed like 10 minutes as the fans waited in silence. He finally wrote down his answer … 4
At that time, all 50,000 Aggie fans yelled in unison “GIVE HIM ONE MORE CHANCE!!!”
Now this is a bit I’m here for. Got my beer and ready to laugh
I googled “two aggies walk into a bar” but didn’t really get satisfactory results
@WFS_HOO you are a funny guy…whether being sarcastic, messing around, being serious, or some combination that none of us can figure out you are a funny guy!
A guy walks into a bar and says to the bartender, “Hey bartender, I know a great Aggie joke. You want to hear it?” The bartender says, “Well, before you tell it I should probably tell you that I went to A&M. And you see those two big guys sitting next to you – they were linebackers for the A&M football team. Now, are you sure you really want to tell that Aggie joke?” The guy thinks for a second. “I guess not,” he said. “I wouldn’t want to have to explain it five times.”
Have oddly always respected that while simultaneously never given a shit about Texas A&M.
Coleman not playing tonight vs ISU.
Down 16-6 … are they broken?
It appears they are looking ahead to Wednesday.
They’re missing 2 starters
I know. Apparently they are holding them out trying to get them ready for Wednesday. I think they are willing to concede this game to try to be healthy, if possible.
Home win has to be top 25 to count as Q1, correct?
I didn’t realize Radford was out for A&M as well. Two of their best defenders not available and Iowa State is shooting 50% from 3.
I would imagine we’ll see a much different team and effort on Wednesday if both of those guys are healthy.
