 I have to give you a hard time 'cause I almost went to UT-Austin.
I'm kidding, really I am, but honestly, why even bring up success when it's pretty clear your team isn't having any?
Class has nothing to do with whether or not you attend a given institution. Classy people don't trash talk, when it comes to their school or anyone else's.
Fortunately Kath and I never claimed to be classy.

The Aggies and their success or lack thereof has nothing to do with this. I mentioned Nebraska as an example because their reputation is well known throughout the country as well as their numerous championships.
I don't equate my love and devotion to A&M with their gridiron success. I would much rather be an Aggie and have a horrible football team than have attended Cookie Cutter U and have a national power. Texas A&M is not a school name on my diploma and ring, it is another select fraternity that i am a part of and paid my dues to become a member of. I love my alma mater very much and take great offense when those who have a casual attachment to some random school based on their football success deem it necessary to belittle Texas A&M.
I didn't bring this topic up to elict a discussion on who is qualified to 'talk trash'. Personally, i give a hard time to the longwhorns, because they are our RIVALs and i have a great many friends that attended t.u. and good natured ribbing is part of the rivalry. I give a hard time to the Red Raiders, because, well, they deserve it. I challenge you to find a post of mine on GC crowing over an A&M in a classless manner.

KS 361 losses Texas A&M could have, and i would still wear my ring with pride
