A&M is thought of as weird little brother in every conference they have been in, including the SEC. Look at social media, message boards, videos....they're constantly clowned on the same way we clown on them for how weird they are as a school/cult. We are more welcomed in the SEC than they are/were.

Oh my God ... 

Turntine did his Michigan OV.  Check out this post-OV quote from his Dad (key portion highlighted in blue) - explains why the Aggies are out.

😂  😂  😂

All the attention on the recruit. I'm also thinking of the photo of what was waiting at the hotel for their OVs. I think there was a bound booklet entitled, "The Aggie Ring."

Once they know about us they'll want to be exactly like us!

There is rarely a day when I read this thread and Cousin Earl from The Dead Milkmen doesn't pop in my head. If there was ever a aggie hyme written, this is it.

Every good story needs a jester/clown. A&M fits that role perfectly. If SEC football was a midget tossing contest, A&M would be the midget.

ETA: I can't shake the recollection of when I first found Hornfans back in 2000. The @SL Xpress handle and the clever turn of phrase triggered that. I was living in Los Angeles and suddenly felt like I was right back in Texas maybe sitting at Memorial Stadium before the start of the game and surrounded by wise asses critical of everything but funny.

Anyway, a nostalgic walk down Memory Lane.

As always, awesome analysis. But you missed the third person Le’Veon Moss. That’s the chef’s kiss. 

Kind words, and you're right.

When you think about it, wouldn't we all like to be an even better Le'Veon Moss? All filled with the colorful purpose of running through motherfuckers' faces?

Dream on that, my friends. Dream on that.

Olin has begun writing football stories. You can almost feel the fresh autumnal breezes of mid-September in College Station.

Speak muse. Show me the color.

1. So true, Olin. Thanks for providing one for me. 

2. Syllogistic reasoning. All persons need a purpose. Le'Veon Moss is a person. Moss needs (and has!) a purpose. Olin, you impress.

We seem to have solidly locked into a theme here. I hope you're not being too subtle, Olin. Only three mentions of the word and one reference to it in four sentences.

But no color. Lay it on me, man!

 

image.png.097a4b98a8e6f4650b60ed08f74791c4.png

I don't know if you presume Moss' other purpose is poor grammar or if you have let us down apostrophe- and verb-noun-agreementwise. Running through faces. OK, it's sorta fresh but a little weird sounding. I'll give it a 7.5.

image.png.b8ac124c28c92977b8547e715916782f.png

Fuck! It's awesome and somehow colorful! Powerful stuff. I'm embarrassed I didn't appreciate it enough, O. I'm also not sure that the quote, immortal as it is, leads to the thing about delivering and taking hits. Whither syllogism? Some people deliver more hits than they take. Le'Veon runs through faces. Le'Veon delivers more... But it is awesome although I'm unsure about the color.

 

image.png.a11ae83693461b648596eb00ba43300e.png

His thoughts were conveyed in spite of the poor grammar which you repeat here. (The sentence doesn't need the "too" either, also.) At this point, in my first read of the piece, I still didn't know what you meant by color. Then it was, "Oh, Le'Veon (compliments on getting the apostrophe correct in Mr. Awesome Quote Guy's name) cussed here. 

Only then did I get the brilliance of the first letters in your unpunctuated parentheticals: He must have said through motherfuckers' faces. I'm guessing he hit the apostrophe on the nose (get it, Olin?) and matched verb and noun. I have no doubt that the dozen Aggies who broke your code agree with your awesomeness appraisal.

 

Then, this awesome sentence:

Moss attacks offenses like he approaches defenses — unrelenting, unafraid and unapologetic.

In what way does he attack offenses? I thought he attacked defenders' motherfuckin' faces not, presumably on tippy toe, approached those faces.

Unrelenting? Check

Unafraid? Sure, check, I guess. He's unafraid of offenses and defenses. Rare in a football player.

Unapologetic? Huh? I'm not sorry for being unrelenting and unafraid when I attack offenses and approach defenses. Man, you were doing syllogisms just a few paragraphs up! Pull yourself together.

I skipped to the end. Olin is a closer. But first,

image.png.007c0ec0059518a15f8079433c73c4df.png

What is it with Aggies and chips on shoulders?  Okay, bring it home, Olin.

Liucci is an idiot 

 

This is interesting. Kyle Field is ranked at No. 11. I understand these stadium rankings, and you are never the person ranking them. The stadium rankings are always weird, and I don't get worked up, but with Oklahoma, I did, and I don't think that place is loud or intimidating. When I look at these rankings, it doesn't bother me because how do you rank atmosphere, intimidation factor, how loud it is, their success rate... Do you combine them?
 

I've been all over the SEC, and people come visit 10 games with me, and all over sports, whether it's MLB, music, pro entertainment, NFL, NBA, people that have never been to Kyle Field and never been to college football. Kyle Field is as unique, loud and daunting as any place in college football.
 

The problem is when you tank these when you aren't winning as much... You're not ranking Kyle Field and the 12th Man. It's the success at home. How much of that atmosphere affects the other team? That's how it goes. When people say, “They aren't winning at Kyle Field.” That sounds like Longhorn logic. They've won massive games over the years, not enough though and lesser teams like Mississippi State and Appalachian State.
 

The truth is, A&M hasn't been a top 20 program in the last 25 years. Based on their success on the field, they would not be in the top 20. I'm of the opinion they should be there, but we haven't seen it. When you're that, you get upset by overwhelming advantage on the field. If you look at the number of upset wins A&M has had since joining the SEC, it's impressive against the teams we've played. It's the truth. We are one and whatever against Alabama, but every Alabama team is always better. If you look at the last few big games, A&M tends to win. A&M beat LSU four straight times at home, and three times they were in the top 10. A&M beat No. 1 Florida, No. 1 Alabama and came close to No. 2 Clemson, which won the national title. They beat No. 11 Auburn and another highly ranked Auburn team. There have been some nice home wins. I don't count Josh Rosen and UCLA, but when you come in here in a big setting, and you leave the Appalachian State jokes aside, that does, and probably takes away from the talk about home-field advantage. Miami won 50 games in a row and broke a record against Oklahoma in the Barry Switzer era. Those teams are great. If you're ranking how loud it is during big games and excitement, Kyle Field is up there.
 

If I'm ranking the SEC outside A&M, Knoxville is No. 1, and LSU is No. 2. Knoxville during the day was better. Alabama is outside the top five, it's underrated, and people act like it's not a tremendous atmosphere. The problem is that the games I saw were at 2 p.m., and there wasn't much excitement. In 2012, in the fourth quarter, Johnny Manziel and A&M held off A.J. McCarron. The Haynes King 2022 was a great game.
 

I've been to two games at The Swamp, and it's good, but Florida has not had elite years in the last 10. They had a couple under Dan Mullen, and A&M had one, and Florida had two. One year, I went to Florida vs. A&M, and the night game was fun.
 

Texas’s game day, and I haven't been in a long time, but people who don’t understand that there will come a day where I'll go to maybe neutral, but I like to go in our bye weeks. I want to go see Texas vs. Oklahoma, but just watching it and here's what I know, the Longhorns will tell you our atmosphere hasn't been that good and not what it should be. There are usually more talented teams at home, but in the last few years, the people who say they've done great things there, and say, “It's gotten better.” Those are the people I believe. Look who they are getting at DKR. I don't care about rankings by their name, how much did Aggies really care? That was Rosen calling out the 12th man. Brady Cook did it last season, not smart to do. In Austin, they were playing Baylor, Kansas State, Kansas, even Oklahoma State, a rival of Texas and beat them under Mike Gundy. It's so much different with the powerhouse teams, they get Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas and the Aggies. Think about the last three years when they went to Alabama, Georgia and A&M. They got Florida, and they go, “Oh, it's not great, but look at the history they have.” That's one of the benefits they will get.
 

I tried to tell Texas and Oklahoma fans I've been in the Big 12. It had Bob Stoops, Mike Leach, Matt Brown and Bill Snyder. That league was up. It still doesn't come close to the atmosphere, what you see year in year out now. I knew the first year A&M played in the SEC, and the first game was Florida at Kyle Field, and LSU came that season, and you went to Bryant-Denny Stadium and all those great places. It is awesome.
 

In Starkville, it's a college football environment. It's one of the worst stadiums, but there's an atmosphere. It's going to bring up the environments in Austin and Oklahoma. Moreso, if Texas enters a game thinking they can beat Alabama or Georgia, they have all season to think about it. It's interesting because I do think there's a week offseason to think about it. Florida, South Carolina and Auburn are all massive games, but my point is none of those teams are rivals, and I'm circling this the whole offseason like Notre Dame or when Texas was coming. I go, “Oh, that's at least two ranked football teams, Auburn TBD, South Carolina with a potential Heisman candidate in LaNorris Sellers and Florida with a Heisman candidate with DJ Lagway.”
 

A&M will play at Notre Dame, Auburn at home, at Arkansas and home vs. Mississippi State. You look at the first three games Florida plays before A&M, they play at LSU, at Miami and host Texas. They got a tougher road start, maybe. Do we know Auburn is not going to be as good as Miami this year?
 

For Payton Thorne, I don't hate him, but they lost to such a bad quarterback last year. The year before, Thorne got benched, and Robby Ashford beat A&M. So, do we know Auburn will be better than Miami? Notre Dame and Texas are very comparable. Texas fans think they are above hearing that. One of those teams went to the national championship, beating Indiana, Georgia and Penn State.

I believe it was posted somewhere on here a while back that aggy has a losing record at home against ranked opponents since joining the SEC.  Nothing is intimidating about that place.  Couldn't even score an offensive TD against Texas.  That clip of Herby, Fowler, and the Bear was spot on about that place

Ironic that one of your few coherent sentences, William, mentions Longhorn logic. I guess we'll just have to own the weird notion that winning defines status in sports. It's obvious why Aggie logic, such as it is, prefers a different standard: we're loud! Yes you are. You're probably louder than us. Now go get your shinebox.

It's a waste of time making fun of that whole line drivel. You can't really parody it. He makes Olin look like Pulitzer Prize material.

 

I'll just do this one thing because it's so Aggie:

image.thumb.png.a30dfacedbcdd14ccec0c4d75cdd37b7.png

Their upset record is impressive against teams [they've] played.

Impressive? Not compared to your record against the teams you haven't played. You had a 12 game win streak against us! You won the Big 12 those same seasons! Iron sharpened iron! You were SE motherfuckin' C!

The state has changed a great deal from the 1990s to present. The rural kids that were automatic aggys are gone. Their families moved to the suburbs. A vast majority applied to Texas and didn’t get in. If you don’t believe me, go join a rodeo committee and ask somebody under 30. 
 

They still do a good job of indoctrinating them at fish camp, but it’s a not a multi-generational of anywhere but UT thing anymore. That’ll die out with Looch’s dumb ass generation.

This is absolutely not true, multigenerational ag families are alive and growing. Texas is the school that’s has completely destroyed generational pipelines.

I tend to agree with @billfromlaketravis. While the ease of admission to A&M makes it easier for the existing family tradition Aggies to keep it going, the volume of students admitted who don't give a shit about joining in on all the weirdness will make traditional aggies less dominant.

Only in the last 15 years have I encountered many Aggies who immediately volunteer that they are 2%ers. They're embarrassed by the stupid shit. There have always been some Aggies who were normal, but I never heard anyone claiming to be despicable 2%ers.

Maybe there’s like 42 percenters now? Not exactly embarrassed of aggy, but it’s the best school they got into. They’re from Greater Houston/Meteoplex and more than willing to take advantage of aggy networking. They talk enough shit about football they’re still embraced by the Old Army regards.

Every single year, TexAgs has insane diatribes about how the students aren’t showing up or they don’t know the songs/chants/cult mission statement.

Well, that’s not exactly encouraging.  They give up all that goofy bullshit and they may put someone competent in charge.  For now, I’m thankful that dickwad Trev is driving the car…right off the road and into a fucking ditch.  Thank you God!
