-starting fights outside the stadium (not to mention bars)
-generally being "classless clowns"
That's just anecdotal evidence, though - you've seen one way, I've seen another, neither counts for a lot in my book.
My point is simply that every team has a time when the fans act like tools - there's nothing positive that comes out of your (or Kitso's) soapboxing, b/c it will happen to your team someday. It's unfortunate - but I don't feel this reflects poorly on the academic institution, or allows you to make condecending remarks about all OSU fans.
PS - you know why UMichigan doesn't have a live wolverine at home games, right?

I mentioned 2 things particularly,
*tearing down goalposts
*rioting
While i'm sure that there are Aggie FANS out there that may be considered bad fans, maybe even engaging in the activities you attributed to Michigan, my point was that i'd never seen the 2 actions i mentioned above occur at A&M.
I was merely pointing out that not all schools react that way to a big win and I'm questioning the motives for acting in those particular manners. I don't think that it should become acceptable behavior and will be greatly embarassed if it does ever occur in College Station. The day that goalposts are torn down at Kyle and College Station is looted is the day that i cease to donate to A&M and take my Aggie Ring off for good.
The students who did these things and were caught on camera need to be held fully responsible. Students that were issued citations need to be held fully responsible. The administration needs to expel them, to set an example that this kind of behavior will not be tolerated in the future.
I will continue to soapbox for my school and it's alumni/students, because i feel (most likely biasedly) that we have the best fans in the Big XII.
I now open myself up to anyone who's had a bad experience with Aggie fans.
Gig 'em,
