Unless you have a thing for sheep in the Biblical sense.

Then you might be a perfect fit there. But I digress.

Baylor?

Baylor is the fallback for kids who coudln't get into A&M or Texas but whose Mommy and Daddy have money. If they dont' have money, they end up at Tech or Texas State.

Greek Life in Texas? t.u., SMU, A&M, TCU Tech

Education? Rice, t.u.-A&M, SMU

Overall College experience? A&M, t.u., Tech. Although I will say that the student body at A&M has become much less special and unique since Bonfire fell in '99. In 20 years those that aren't from A&M families or CTs will be just as ordinary as those hippies down in Austin.

You have got to be kidding me. Texas A&Ms Greek Life is sub par compared to us, SMU, TCU, and even Tech. KA and some SAEs are the only bastion of frattiness that exists in College Station.

As far as education........if you want your kid to be a dorky applied sciences major.......then send him to Rice. That is the only thing going for it. Business, Law, medicine, or engineering......go to Texas.

...says the former aggie.

Baylor was a first choice for me. Loved the campus, the history, and the honors program I'm in ('cause I'm a little bit of a nerd and that's how I roll).

We're smarter than the aggies and better-looking than everybody else. Never mind the fact that it's a crazy church school that's uptight about everything from drinking to dudes in the dorms. (Hey, we're loosening up...I have visiting hours everyday now! ZXAlum said she only got weekends for dudes!)

...but yeah. No way in hell would I join a cult. I take being in the cult town of Wacko over actually being in a cult any day. Plus the dudes here may be few and far between, but at least the ones who are here prefer women over sheep (sometimes men over women though...sad times for single stef the pef).

Wow, the delicious irony of someone that goes to a Baptist school and is Greek throwing out the cult word. Why is A&M a cult? Our rituals? Traditions? Our school specific vocabulary? The universal bond between Aggies? All of these are charges that could be leveled at mainstream religions or even Greek Orgs.

Sheep bestiality? That's all you got? Yeah, I guess you can go to Baylor, where to blow off steam from their horrendous Athletic programs, baseball players go out killing and skinning cats for fun. Your choice

Baylor.....we're only in the Big XII cause Ann Richards was Gov. in 96

Hahahahaha.

At least we lose with pride. And only 40% of the campus is nutty baptist.

A&M is a cult. Period. Write it off as "school spirit" all you want, but to the rest of the world, these fellas look ridonkulous:

(well, seeing as that's the corps, perhaps the better wording would be "you have a cult and why on earth are you proud of that?!")

AMEN to this. Welcome back-are you here for good? Or just a visit? We miss you

Helluva win for the Aggies tonight.

aggieAXO · #9 02-05-2007, 12:55 AM

I wish I had seen the game, but hopefully I will be going to the one here in Austin in a couple of weeks so I can see us kick some longhorn butt. It is weird having a decent basketball team. I personally think our coach is HOTT

Kevin Durant will put up 38 against A&M in a 5 point win. Mark My Words.

AC Law will put him to shame.

Both A&M and Texas are very good schools. I could have gone to Texas (like half of my family did) but I always had the A&M spirit. When I applied Texas A&M and Texas had pretty much the same acceptance criteria (not sure about now) so A&M was not a fall back school. BTW, I know an aggie from across the room just by the ring we wear, no words need to be spoken.

macallan25 · #12 02-05-2007, 05:48 PM

AC Law is a great player......but he is no Kevin Durant. I'm sorry but he is the most dominant offensive player in the NCAA as far as i'm concerned.

No and No.

Thanks for playing though. The Ags played 8 on 5 all night, with Ricky Barnes having been in the refs heads for a couple days with some whiny comments a couple days prior and they still pull it out.

Y'all may get us in Austin though, I can only imagine how that's going to be refereed. JJ and AK will probably foul out by halftime.

KS 361 of Durant's pubes that Dickie V is going to have to clean off his face after fellating him the entire game.

macallan25 · #14 02-06-2007, 03:24 AM

You won by 20......shut up about the refs. Just about eveyone of the fouls called on yall was legit. Believe it or not, that crap yall do on screens and 40 feet away from the basket really are fouls. You sound like the tipical whiny bitch Aggie.

Dick Vitale always blows the best player in every game he calls. Not sure if you noticed.....but Kevin Durant is easily one of the top players to come into the NCAA in recent memory. Its no secret that he is getting player of the year.
