Why is that dude staring at his own dick?

He wants to join the corps. He's not able to squeeze his nuts to show his worthiness because his hands are occupied.

This is the only thing he could think of at the time. He is showing a burning desired to squeeze them.

This could become a new tradition, and he will become an Aggy legend.

He's trying to see when it moves - when he leans toward his bro or when he leans toward the chick.

Hey, guys!  Guys!  I got it.

Let's throw the game against tu so that they don't slide into the playoffs by beating us at full strength.  Then everybody will know how much we don't care about them.  It's totally worth missing the conference championship game for the first time in our history to stick it to tu AND show everybody how much we don't care about tu at the same time.  Whoop?

The aggys I know claim that A&M doesn't have any t-shirt fans

That's because every single one of them is admitted to the university stupid sip. Even those that didn't apply. You don't get the highest enrollment and highest acceptance rate without some outside the box thinking. Advantage aggy.

Right - this week really sucked when we were playing either TCU or Tech. No excitement whatsoever in the buildup.

Another mistake the Big 12 made was not scheduling Tech as our Thanksgiving game. 

I'm not sure if it would have ever been a true rivalry, but it was worth a shot. Only DFW alums, especially those of us in Tarrant Co., have a healthy dislike for TCU.

I have several graduate degrees in dislike for aggy, however, for me part of the magic of college football is hating your rival with the same intensity as loving winning it all.  It makes the whole sport more fun so even with as much disrespect I have for aggy in general I'll say I respect obsessing over winning a single game no matter the consequences.  There's 32 NFL teams gunning for the super bowl each year.  There's 136 FBS teams and only 1 champion, so fixating on other things each year is really a necessity.  

Maybe, but it was this type of thinking that got 12 kids killed in 1999.

Obsession is not a healthy thing and that's what Aggy has.

this is the ONLY reason why I supported moving to the SEC. you add another season within the season - record against rivals.  when we had only one, football was less enjoyable.

Arky is gonna have to beat us a few times and maybe spoil our season just once before I get excited about them.

They haven't been relevant since the 70's.

Fair enough, but they are an upgrade over Kansas or whatever cellar dweller we would be playing in the big 12.

If you are obsessed, then you are wanting to be someone else that’s better than you, or you’re wanting what they have…either way, you are on the bottom looking up…..poor aggy.

TEXAS vs aggy lore posted on FB by Traces of Texas

 

The Arcane Texas Fact of the Day is in regards to when the UT football team decided that the A&M football team played too rough/dirty and decided not to play the game for a few years. It's a great story.
The hullabaloo blew up on Nov. 14, 1911, the morning after Texas had scraped out a 6-0 win over A&M at Houston’s West End Park — while fans of the two teams were busy waging a far more spirited contest in the bleachers. Back then, Varsity (Texas) and College (A&M) played each other about as often as two bored brothers in a lonely farmhouse, popping up in Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston as part of the Not-Su-Oh carnival — which, as Houston proudly pointed out, was simply “Houston” spelled backward, proving that civic creativity was alive and well even in 1911.
The games at West End Park were rowdy from the git-go. In 1908, A&M students took offense to Texas students carrying broomsticks like rifles (I guess because nothing says “intimidating military display” like an army of janitors) — and a Texas student ended up stabbed. Somehow, this did not cool things down.
Then came the real plot twist: after going 1-13-2 against Texas from 1894 through 1908, A&M suddenly rattled off three straight wins behind coach Charles Barthold “Uncle Charley” Moran seen on the right in the attached photo. Moran was described by one historian as the early 1900s’ answer to Bill Belichick, presumably minus the hoodies. Moran arrived in College Station announcing, “I didn’t come here to lose,” and he mostly didn’t. The Farmers whipped Texas twice in 1909, including a 23-0 roasting in Houston, and won again in 1910.
Texas fans, wounded in both pride and scoreboard, accused Moran of teaching “slugging,” the era’s term for dirty football. Their chant went: “To hell, to hell, with Charley Moran and all his dirty crew. If you don’t like the words to this song, to hell, to hell with you.” A&M’s Caesar “Dutch” Hohn countered, “He taught rough football but I never knew it to be dirty. He taught winning football.” Translation: your mileage may vary.
On Nov. 13, 1911, the teams met again at West End Park in Houston. Texas lost lineman Marlon Harold to a broken leg on the first play — which tells you everything about the ambiance. But then A&M’s A.R. Bateman fumbled, Texas halfback Arnold Kirkpatrick scooped it up, galloped in for a five-point touchdown (those were the days), and with the extra point, Texas won 6-0. The Chronicle said the upset “shook every office building in Houston,” and given the postgame brawl, that may not have been metaphorical. Fans tore through a picket fence, fists flew, and Kern Tips later called it “a dilly of a donnybrook.” Football historian Lou Maysel added that downtown Houston was unsafe “for anyone wearing Texas colors as bands of A&M students roamed the streets.”
Two days later, Texas’ athletics chairman W.T. Mather wrote to A&M, very politely declaring a divorce: “I beg to inform you that the athletic council of the University of Texas has decided not to enter any athletic relations with the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas for the year 1912.”
In the press, the mud-slanging made today’s social media fights look genteel. Texas team manager Stephen F. Pinckney said A&M “has earned a reputation for rotten athletics. … They admit trying to injure some of our men.” Lineman Marshall Ramsdell chimed in: “I never played in so dirty a game in my life… (A&M players) use brute force and break legs and arms and heads by slugging if necessary.”
The Bryan Eagle fired back with the headline “Varsity Curses Sent Home to Roost,” and A&M athletic council president J.B. Bagley insisted, “The football team, the student body, the athletic council, the faculty and the alumni association have found nothing wrong in Mr. Moran’s systems or tactics.”
With that, the schools went their separate ways. Texas lost just two games in the next three years and went unbeaten in 1914. A&M — fielding what many considered Moran’s best team in 1912 — outscored opponents 366-25 but nearly bankrupted itself without the Texas gate money.
Eventually, former A&M players Hal Moseley and Joe Utay quietly opened channels with Texas, and in 1913 the Longhorns hired Theo Bellmont, a YMCA man from Houston who actually believed in diplomacy. On Nov. 30, 1914, the schools agreed to play again in 1915.
Moran promptly resigned, citing “immediate pressure of other business” in Kentucky, received a full Corps parade, and wrote his players a farewell letter ending with: “If you still love me and think anything of me, then beat Texas.” They complied, winning 13-0 in College Station — a triumph that netted A&M a princely $3,429.07, or roughly what each school burns through each morning these days between checking Instagram and pouring another cup of coffee.
Moran went on to coach Centre College, upsetting Harvard in 1921, then brought his Praying Colonels to Dallas for the Dixie Classic, the game where E. King Gill became the first 12th Man. He also spent two decades umpiring in the National League before A&M honored him after his death in 1949 for his “indomitable spirit and inspiring leadership.”
Meanwhile, Bellmont helped found the Southwest Conference, launched the Texas-OU rivalry in Dallas, created the famous “blanket tax,” and presided over the building of Memorial Stadium, which still carries his name.
All of which proves that, in Texas, nothing cools tempers and mends fences quite like the promise of beating A&M — or beating Texas — next year.

P.S. There will be some Texas A&M-Texas content on TOT this week on account of I hear there's a big game in Austin in a few days.

Yeah, but Texas is 1-1 against the Bulldogs.  Aggy is 2-0 against the Bulldogs, including a shutout last weekend.

Advantage: aggy.

It's science.

After cowardly beating you 17-7 and holding your offense scoreless. At least Texas was not afraid of their opponent’s end zone.

Reed is a beanpole for sure, but nobody above 6 feet tall meets midget requirements.

He's just shifty enough to avoid the direct hits that would shatter his thin bones. That's how he manages to be a durable running QB in spite of being on the thinner side
