  1. Keep the bonfire away from the state owned property. If the aggys want to have a bonfire, let them do it, but under no circumstances - do not let the state fund the bonfire. No state funding, no state support.

    To you have that, aggys? The answer is "no."

    This x100 billion

    Welcome back good sir.   Nice to see you 

    The truth facing aggy about their bonfire is telling:

    "The collapse was about physical failures driven by organizational failures, the origins
    of which span decades of administrations, faculty, and students."

    12 students killed, 27 injured, and thousands of others over the years has left many of us sickened.

    When A&M wants to proceed with their bonfire each fall, the answer from the State should be "no." The State of Texas has final say through the state house and senate. Those elected officials need to tell the people of A&M to think about the years of mistakes, think about the people who have paid for their mistakes and to move on.

    It was the year that convinced me that playing them was not worth it anymore. They absolutely cannot act like rational human beings when it comes to us. Our benevolence was met with hostility.

    There was no way we could have won the bonfire game, on the field or otherwise. They are classless, juvenile trash.

    This morning I was listening to a local Dallas station do their bit on aggy wanting to bring back their bonfire and the news casters were talking that aggy is now 35,000 over where they were when they did their stunt in 1999.

    35,000 over where they were.

    How does anyone figure that those kids care about the bonfire, the silly aggy band, or any number of 1990's aggy things.

    A&M received 43,422 applications and they took 27,203 freshman students. Astonishing. https://www.collegetransitions.com/blog/how-to-get-into-texas-am

    UT Austin only admitted 38,250 in all undergraduate disciplines. 

    Let the kids at A&M get a diploma, let them figure out who they want to become and quit insisting they go back to being aggys of the past. Those aggys are gone. None of them where alive when the bonfire was a big deal. Quit forcing them to be who you are and let them be who they want to be.

    Rick, can you choose just one college that the ROTC represents?

    https://www.txamfoundation.com/News/Texas-AM-The-Military-College-of-Texas.aspx

    "Texas A&M: The Military College of Texas

    Twenty years after being designated the Military College of Texas, Texas A&M continues to offer an exemplary military education."

     

    From Wikipedia:

    Texas A&M University (Texas A&M, A&M, or TAMU) is a public, land-grant, research university in College Station, Texas. It was founded in 1876 and became the flagship institution of the Texas A&M University System in 1948. Since 2021, Texas A&M has enrolled the largest student body in the United States,[14] and is the only university in Texas to hold simultaneous designations as a land-, sea-, and space-grant institution. It is classified among "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity" and a member of the Association of American Universities.

    The university was the first public higher education institution in Texas; it opened for classes on October 4, 1876, as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas (A.M.C.) under the provisions of the 1862 Morrill Land-Grant Act. In the following decades, the college grew in size and scope, expanding to its largest enrollment during WWII before its first significant stagnation in enrollment post-war.[15] Enrollment grew again in the 1960s under the leadership of President James Earl Rudder, during whose tenure, the college desegregated, became coeducational, and ended the requirement for participation in the Corps of Cadets. In 1963, to reflect the institution's expanded roles and academic offerings, the Texas Legislature renamed the college Texas A&M University; the letters "A&M" were retained as a tribute to the university's former designation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_A%26M_University

    I have the YGIFS/lobo imbecile on ignore, but so many people quote him it is still hard to ignore. What a complete and total fucking dipshit. Everything goes back to politics and how he sees it straight but the rest of us are all ignorant. If it doesn’t go back to political banality, it darts over to bizarre sexual shit. Whatever caused that fucking clown to leave the first time, I hope it happens again. Good lord. 

    This thread has been dogshit for a while and that guy’s grubby, tedious little hands are all over it. I’m almost longing for some sort of quixotic @Randolph Duke derailment ranting about some menial aggie indiscretion from the 1920’s that must be righted as a means of saving things here. 

    Lol.

    Didn’t you get an older Chevy? Late 90s or so? You were tuning it up and doing a few things but going to leave it be for the most part. Am I imagining that? Or was it someone else?

    I’ve had a Range Rover for a couple of years. Haven’t had a Chevy for quite some time.

    Texas A&M University to close Qatar campus

    The decision comes after an antisemitism think tank alleged last month the Qatar government had control over nuclear research at the branch campus. Texas A&M has denied it.

    The nonprofit, which describes itself on its website as a center “dedicated to the academic study of antisemitism,” sent a letter to U.S. officials in January alleging that Qatar had “substantial ownership” of weapons development rights and nuclear engineering research being developed at the Texas A&M campus, which they claim is a threat to national security. The letter came a few months after ISGAP released a 17-page report where it alleged it had discovered a “disturbing relationship between Qatar and Texas A&M University.

    It's about time.

    Oh, and in case anyone talks with aggys, can someone explain to our dear aggys that the NLRB has made a ruling against the private colleges because they are private colleges and not state run institutions.

    The aggys were bleating about Dartmouth basketball athletes but they missed out on the part that they are are private athletes and therefore are subject to NLRB rulings. They are totally clueless that athletes that are subject to public universities are not subject to NLRB rulings.

    Like all their other turditions, they made it up. Are they counting those fake NCs they decided they should claim (and no one had ever heard of) when they moved to the SEC?

    My point is that they aren't NCAA National Titles.

    Titles, yes. National Titles, nope.

    1 W. Basketball

    1 Men's Golf

    1 Men's Indoor Track

    8 Outdoor Track (4 Men, 4 Women)

    2 Women's Softball

    Corp turds 1946. At least they got the Texas flag right

    unlike these dorks

    How do civilians salute the American flag? Can anyone start by explaining that first piece of action?

    "Corps scholarships carry no military obligation, and are awarded based on both merit and need."   https://corps.tamu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/FINAL23Brochure.pdf

    Every single person in the "Aggy Corps of Cadets" is a civilian. Every single person. Their uniform is designed by a civilian for being worn by civilians, not by a military personal.

    And yes, I can by on for a loong time talking about that "Aggy Corps of Cadets." A loooong time.

  11. Ok. Walk me through this. I just don't get it.

    They dress up in one of the "uniforms" below to show what? Why are those uniforms necessary?

    I just don't understand what a college student, dressed up in one of the "uniforms" below, bears any "role" in the U.S. military.

    Many years ago on one of the now defunct Longhorn message boards, somebody said "aggys were the greatest unintentional comedians of all time," or something to that effect.  Truer words have never been spoken.   "Ignoring the athletic record for a minute" should read "ignoring the athletic record for over 100 years."

    Over 100 years?

    Try over 129 years.

    And the "Liberty Bell" was to help sell U.S government debt in or about 1947. There were given to each state and several more were made available. The state of Texas was more about the Texas state independence.
