I Am Not A Cyclone But Thought You Guys Would Like This

I don't trust people who wear class rings

aTm seems to be full of those types of people.

Bottom line....I don't trust 'em

They were classless hypocrites in how they left the conference.

I had a very good time there in 2009 and was treated really well.

Their fanbase is completely off the reservation, but very friendly. It’s a strange dichotomy.

This. I’ve known and had to work with several A&M grads through the years. They all had or have this undercurrent and subtle internal understanding that they are better than you because they are an A&M grad but at the same time they don’t cram it down their throat in super dooshy way most of the time. If you can get past that, they are pretty nice and usually smart folks. All in all nice people that I’d be happy to work/socialize again.

I've been. Some good people and bars, spent a loooooooong night at Dixie Chicken.
As a fanbase, they are interesting.

Interesting like “a bunch of dudes jerking off into one jar” interesting or.....

A&M culture is not for me.

If they are jerking each other off, they are A&M fans.

If they are using weird household items never before thought as sexually stimulating, they are Missouri fans.

If their sister/cousin is stimulating them, they are Nebraska fans.

If they are yelling because they don’t know if they need another bong hit or to blow their wad, they are Colorado fans.

I think you’ve gotta flip Nebraska and Missouri there.

No female cheerleaders
Weird obsession with their graduation rings
Calling out UT in their fight song

I agree. I considered that. I also thought about taking that to a whole other level but didn’t want to risk getting banned this time year.

 

[BCClone]

I agree - I don't hate them. Also just disappointed in them that they left. Understand how they might have felt they could never get fair treatment in the conference with Texas there. We know we don't get fair treatment with the officiating although Friday was better than in the past.

A&M was with unequal payment, those who don’t mind them..........they WERE part of the problem.

I don’t miss the old big 12 at all.
1) Big 8
2) Big 12 now
3) Old Big 12

Loved the old Big 8! The basketball with the Big 8 was special!

 

[flycy]

The Damn Aggies are alright. Being Unique is ok. Similar school to ISU except for the corps.

 

[Bucklara]

Thanks Aggie, Purdy funny. Enjoy the win guys.

I could never really grasp A&M and NE’s issue with the revenue distribution model of the old Big 12. I mean, they both voted for it and blocked changes along with OU and Texas. Either one of them could have joined with the other 8 schools to change the distribution model. Of course, their opinion sure seemed to be they should get as much as Texas, but Iowa State or K-State shouldn’t get as much as them.

I wouldn't be opposed to playing A&M in the Cotton Bowl this year.

Do non-A&M grads wear them anymore? I can’t think of a single person who wears one.

Edit: actually I can but he’s from one of the d-3 schools in Iowa and has a chronic levels of little man syndrome and no one takes him seriously.

This. Same as Nebraska. They didn’t have any issue voting against equal revenue sharing. Then when Texas started the LHN, they were mad. If ATM, OU or Nebraska would have changed their vote, we would have had a big 12 network 15 years ago. I don’t have any issue with their fans now. I just don’t care for the hypocrisy. Those three schools were just as much part of the problem as UT was.

 

[Blandboy]

Anybody old enough to remember that Todd Blythe monster game against A&M?

yep...Blythe scorched 'em.

Service academy grads often do.

I miss our Big 8 frenemies. I'm sad A&M left, but certainly understand the desire to get away from TeXa$. A&M seems a natural fit in the SEC too.

A$M isn't a Big 8 "frenemy"

Since we're rehashing A$M stuff...

A&M Corps "Jar" Rumor Is Apparently True

Never heard this rumor before, but apparently rumor has it that while A&M was building on-campus bonfires, the corps had a tradition where as a group, they would release their, ahem... soldiers... into a jar and place it on top of the bonfire during construction. Apparently a corps member...
