After they leaked that we were joining the SEC, and tried to scuttle the deal, they were told by SEC leadership to sit down and shut the fuck up. They didn't have shit on us. We were always the big prize for the SEC, which is obvious to everyone outside of Collie Station.

December 4, 20232 yr There was this bowl game against Georgia where nobody thought Texas deserved to be there. Texas ended up with a shocking upset. That 1949 Orange Bowl was a crazy day. Tom Landry scored a TD and ran for over 100 yards in his last game at UT. But nobody remembers or builds statues to our 1940s teams. Even Bobby Layne is all but forgotten. The only man to cast a magical curse on a NFL franchise.

Their tea-sipper thing had more to do with them being manly types out farming the land and doing the hard work while the effeminate elites of UT sat on the porch sipping tea. This also makes sense if you recall their pride in being farmers. A hard core generational Aggie who joined the corps explained the epithet just this way last century. Oddly, the military claim has sprung up as corps membership has gone down. So many non-corps Aggies are very concerned that they be considered a military school. All of these soft suburban kids like to say, "We were off fighting America's wars while you were..." It's bullshit. Lastly, I don't think actual veterans would denigrate another school who also produced veterans. That's something for phonies to do when they don't know what they're talking about. My dad and his brother both went to UT, both served in the Army. Two of my very good friends from high school both served 20+ years in the Army, both Longhorns. One was ROTC at UT. I served 8 years in the Air Force with four of those at Tinker AFB in OKC. The base commander (Brigadier General) while I was stationed there was a Longhorn. I met many other Longhorns during my military career. In fact, many more Longhorns than aggy. And how about Navy Admiral William McCraven? Another Longhorn great. Hell, Chris Kyle (American Sniper) was a big Longhorn Fan. I call bullshit on the aggy “we serve our country, we fight in all the wars.” I’d like to know the actual % of those corps turds that ever serve one day of active duty. Oh but they play the theme from “Patton” at halftime…bunch of badasses. Chris Kyle statue (Odessa, TX) Edited December 4, 20232 yr by CowtownHorn

Tom blamed himself for single-handedly costing Texas a SWC Championship by getting a handoff on a 4th-down play (4th and 3 against smu, IIRC, on what would have been the winning drive deep in pony territory) and somehow lost his balance and fell back on his ass. Game over. Texas lost that year's SWC championship. It's Greatness tempered with Integrity and Humility. This reminds me, I need to punch Jerry Jones in the mouth.

Everyone who's ever had any significant military ties knows how aggy corps turds are viewed in that world. Same as they're viewed here - as delusional frauds and a running joke.

Only the current moment exists, and nothing else. "Jimbo who?" Lulz. They love to delete and censor threads that don’t shine a ray of sunshine on aggy football, and their posters are fine about it. That’s some Stockholm Syndrome shit or something right there. Meanwhile, this version of Surly has no problem trashing the shit out of the program and previous iterations of this board were used to organize airplane banners trying to get coaches fired.

December 4, 20232 yr The sip part is making fun of us for not fighting in WWII. The war that nobody under 90 could have possible participated in. It is the weirdest thing to be constantly insulted for.

The Aggy DC was Durkin. Robinson was the beloved and very good D-Line coach. Robinson wants to be a HC one day. No DL coach has ever been given a HC job. Elko would not hire Robinson as DC, but Aggy offered him an insanely high salary to not pursue a DC title. He declined. As expected, The DL mercenaries loyal to Robinson are leaving The new DL coach is a jag that got fired from Florida. Elko still hasn’t hired a DC yet. The Great Santucci declined, which is probably good news.
