As a Baylor Grad,
Please,
as a courtesy to real colleges,
never,
and I do mean Never,
say Sic ‘em and the vulgar gig em in the same sentence.
aggies are the only school who has to deride another better school in their fight song.
For those of you not from Texas, it is like mentioning Reagan an Marx as equals.
As a fellow Baylor grad, I agree with your entire post whole-heartedly!! The ags are ghastly. They could win every game from now until the end of the world and they would still be gross. I always notice that, even after weekends when U.T. loses and a&m wins, far more kids at the school where I teach wear Texas shirts than aggie shirts. Even the kids know that a losing Texas team is better than a winning aggie team. Baylor t-shirts have grown in popularity around here, thanks to Robert Griffin. We may catch up with the aggies in the T-shirt race yet, lol.
Great game tonight! Thanks for starting this thread, freedom1st! Congratulations on raising such a smart granddaughter!! ;)
Sic ‘em Bears!!!
Seriously?
Are you unaware that the opening lines of the University of Texas fight song are: “Texas fight! Texas fight! And it’s goodbye to A&M.”
Those two academically excellent research universities have been rivals for well over a century, and they celebrate it on Saturdays in the fall. Sit back and enjoy it.
You do realize that A&M is still one of the most conservative universities in the nation and one of the most difficult to get into. A&M was ranked 3rd in the nation for military academies this year, behind only West Point and the Naval Academy.
There have been tens of thousands of Aggies out there defending your freedom in uniform over the years ... my husband being one of them. He’s returning from his 13th deployment as I type this and may actually make it home for Thanksgiving this year.
You might want to think about that the next time you throw all that venom at the maroon and white.
... Not to mention that at almost every A&M ‘away’ game this season, we have received kudos for being the friendliest visitors most of the teams have ever hosted.
And Johnny Football is just fun to watch. What football fan out there cannot appreciate that talent?
Why all the anger? Isn’t Baylor a Baptist university? You know ... Christian ... love your fellow man? Yeesh.
Your ‘real college’ comment is very telling.
