Methinks that you ties to the Cult of the Collie are showing. But then, if would be classless to point out you attacks on the university.
As for tacky fans, have you ever attended an OU game? They cheer and give "high fives" when a player from the opposing team is injured. At least TTU fans (for the most part) bow their heads and remain silent until the opposing player gets onto his feet.
Here is excerpt from another article regarding TTU. (The complete article is linked at the bottom.)
Racial diversity concerns stirring at Tech
BY AUSTIN RESTER
FOR THE AVALANCHE-JOURNAL
Some Texas Tech students and staff say racial diversity is a concern at the university, where white students make up almost 80 percent of the student body.
"I think we need to increase the number of minority students we have here on campus and diversify it," said Mike Gunn, assistant director for the Tech Center for Campus Life, which offers diverse programs and services.

I wrote to Dean and Denton and received canned comments back about how they wanted to be known for more than athletics - I responded that the Seal would not be the symbol noted for the University - are they really that stupid as to think anyone would remember a Seal? lol
You are not a good example of anyone praising Texas A&M - you're an ass
Please see post 139 - an example of what is NOT classy
You are correct in your observation Whyisa. That is an uncalled for comment about Texas Tech. Texas A&M has a very fine and mostly conservative student body, but TT is not much different.
The rivalry is in the athletic departments, where it belongs -
Must be a sand flea.
>>Cult of the Collie<<
Nice insult. Are you jealous that the only thing cultish in Lubbock is drunkeness and lewd behavior. And at least A&M's mounted corps unit know how to ride their horse.
>>But then, if would be classless to point out you attacks on the university.<<
What would it be to prompt one to write an incoherent sentence.
>>At least TTU fans (for the most part) bow their heads and remain silent<<
Let's see what other things tech "fans" do:
-- all but destroy an equipment truck (2004 vs. t.u.)
-- tear down a goalpost after a win against a team they are favored to beat, then start a riot trying to shove that goalpost into the stands (2001 vs A&M)
-- throw red kool-aid (at least, I hope that was what it was) on the opposing coach and players (1999 vs. A&M)
-- start a fight with the opposing team in basketball after a loss (1994 vs. A&M)
-- chunking stuff, including dog crap, at opposing fans at the game and at cars before/after the game (various times certainly; verified football vs. A&M 2001)
-- ice being thrown at fans, both football AND basketball (too numerous to mention)
By the way: these events were all observed first hand or reported on by someone I know who did have it happen to them. Don't get on here with one weak example from OU (who I'm not going to defend) without explaining why this idiotic behavior continues and the "school" does nothingset:ut it.
Sorry I don't meet your standards. Not that I care much, though.
See, you continue to show no class..there was no need for you to invade this thread and act like that - no manners and no class - perhaps you need to return to TAMU and see if some if that can rub off on you
26,000 students - and a handful get drunk and stupid at a game.........and you want someone to believe not a single student at A&M gets drunk? Get real - Everyone I know denounces idiotic stunts and/or acts of violence at any sporting event - you are being childish lumping everyone from Tech into that pot..........I certainly don't call everyone at A&M a tightassed geek......
Do you think he/she/it is a lawyer? Name the one major school in Texas that does NOT have a Law School............... ;^)
I wish you wouldn't compare tech to A&M
Your RIGHT .. We aint no stinking aggies... ;)
Hhhmmmmmm, I do recall an institution of learning located somewhere between Houston and Austin, but he name escapes me at the moment. ;-)
aggies.. like to think they are the only unverstiy in Texas.
However, we know different. GO TEXAS TECH! Ditch Smith... PICK COTTON!
Baylor? St. Mary's?
