No offense to Texas fans, but

[huskerlaw]

I'm currently in the Phoenix airport awaiting my flight to Burbank and can I just say... the signs are there for a reason. Do NOT stop in the middle of the fucking walkway to decide if you're in the right terminal. Do not wear your ugly fuck team colors from head to toe 3 FUCKING DAYS and 2 STATES away from your bowl game. You look like a dumbass hick.

Did I mention get the FUCK out of my way?

This rant applies to a lesser degree to fans from Notre Dame and Ohio State, though they seem capable of reading the damn signs.

Thank you. :rant:

[Zomby Woof]

1. Nominated!

So VERY VERY TRUE.

And free of asskissing!

[huskerlaw]

4. Thank you, ZW

It's about boarding time and I'm about to stroke out. Frustration, they name is Texas fans.

[GOPisEvil]

2. Hey, our public education system is 50th! Cut us some slack!

:P

Safe travels. :hi:

[huskerlaw]

3. So that's why

the dumbfucks can't differentiate between terminals A & B!

Jeeeeeeezus.

[GOPisEvil]

5. I'm shocked I found my way to California and back.

But then we were 48th in education when I was a kid. I R the smrt. I'm an Aggie as well. Dressing myself is a challenge. ;)

Cleaned up my crappy English. :dunce:

[0007]

31. LOL!! Go go Trojans....hang up Mack Brown with Ron Paige

another one of junior's first class idiots.

[Maestro]

14. It's actually 24th according to the latest data.

:P :hi:

[Bouncy Ball]

19. Thank God we aren't 50th.

But how sad is it that I believed it?

24th not bad, considering our funding situation, eh?

[Maestro]

37. Hey Bouncy.

I haven't seen you around for a while? How has school been? Anyhow, it's amazing that Austin can pass a gay marriage amendment which fixes nothing, give themselves a raise by rasing the salaries of judges on whose salaries are based the pensions of the representatives and congress people, but can't fund our education program after 4 tries. Sheesh!

[Bouncy Ball]

40. I'll tell you why:

it's because they're useless motherfuckers.

There, the secret is out.

:rofl:

I've been good, how about you? Going to school full-time, but on break now. Not looking forward to the full load starting soon, but hey, I'll get done faster.

[GOPisEvil]

6. Oh, look...burnt orange!

:puke: <--- :evilgrin:

[huskerlaw]

7. Yeah, I needed that

cuz the moron with the Longhorn PURSE wasn't quite enough...

By the way, why isn't it possible to attend every bowl game in one year? Oh, some of them are at the same time?? Really??? ~aforementioned Texas fan with Longhorn purse :dunce:

[GOPisEvil]

8. Hahahahahahahaha!!!!

Sigh...I live with these people. They're EVERYWHERE. Now you know why I want out. :D

[Zomby Woof]

9. You spelled moron correctly!

x( It's MORAN around here!

[Bouncy Ball]

10. Oh God, are they embarrassing us again?

This happens whenever SOME Texans leave the state. Not this Texan, mind you. I CAN read signs, despite having been skooled in public skools in Texas from kindiegarden all the way through the sixteenth grade.

Wait, I'm in the eighteenth grade now, right? Yeah. Eighteenth. 4.0, yee-ha.

[GOPisEvil]

11. Those damned Longhorns...

...always causing trouble. :hi:

[Bouncy Ball]

15. Heh, well, the first thing I thought was

"at least they're not Aggies."

Sad, but true.

[meow2u3]

20. Now Texas has a chance to defeat Bush

:evilgrin:

Hullabaloo, Caneck! Caneck!
Hullabaloo, Caneck! Caneck!
All hail to dear old Texas A&M
Rally around Maroon and White;
Good luck to the dear old Texas Aggies,
They are the boys who show the fight.
That good old Aggie spirit thrills us,
And makes us yell and yell;
So let's fight for dear old Texas A&M,
We're going to beat you all to ----

Chig-gar-roo-gar-rem!

Goodbye to Texas University,
So long to the Orange and the White.

25. Ah, memories.

Odd memories, but still.

Oh and this part?

All hail to dear old Texas A&M
Rally around Maroon and White;
Good luck to the dear old Texas Aggies,

That good old Aggie spirit thrills us,
And makes us yell and yell;

I never remember singing that verse. Just the second and last ones.

26. here's a fun article

"Fear and Loathing in College Station"

http://www.dailyutahchronicle.com/media/paper244/news/2003/09/09/Sports/Cult-Fear.And.Loathing.In.College.Station-460628.shtml?norewrite&sourcedomain=www.dailyutahchronicle.com

When putative Mormons think the Aggie Yells are weirder than all get-out, you KNOW it's weird...

http://yell.tamu.edu/yells.html

and now we know why Georgie Butch couldn't attend A&M:

[Bouncy Ball]

28. It's a little ironic that someone from Utah was talking about

cults, but there it is.

Yeah, it can seem VERY cult-like from the outside. And it probably is, a bit.

Everyone knows what to do at yell and at games because of Fish Camp, the nice name for the official indoctrination camp you attend before your freshman year.

And there's not much else to do in College Station besides get drunk, have sex and go to yell and football games. So there's that factor, too.

[Bouncy Ball]

27. Oh and you forgot the last part.

Saw Varsity's horns off, saw Varsity's horns off, saw Varsity's horns off, SHORT! AY!

Varsity's horns are saaaawed off, Varsity's horns are saaaawed off, Varsity's horns are sawed off, SHORT! AY!

[musette_sf]

29. I admit, I am not an Aggie,

but I worked with quite a few of them, and spent some time working with the Association of Former Students on an archiving project.

Why, non-Aggie-savvy folks may ask, does A&M not have an Alumni Association?

Well, you see, just because an ole boy didn't finish up at A&M, doesn't mean that he wouldn't want to have A&M share in the fruits of his later-begotten riches. Hence, the Association of Former Students.

[Bouncy Ball]

30. You know, I never thought about that.

Why it's called that instead of an alumni association. But that makes complete sense.

When I left there, I said I'd never give a penny to the university, and I've made good on that promise. The place is too insular and closed-minded to ever be a world-class university like they claim they want to be. Until that mindset changes, they won't be. It's a huge stumbling block, but so many Aggies are so blind to it. Part of the culture, I guess.

On edit, and it's just like an Aggie to take a thread about UT and make it about Aggies. :evilgrin:

[musette_sf]

32. Hey, I can make it a kitty thread AND an Aggie thread!

My veterinarian (A&M grad, of course!), when I lived in Sugar Land, provided veterinary services to at least one Reveille. Dr. Steve rocked the house, and performed awesome surgery on my Rocky kitty to remove a cancerous tumor. She was 10 at the time, and lived to be 18.

34. The vet school *is* great.

I actually took my kitty cat down there for a special experimental treatment. Cat lived 6 more happy years.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

12. OK..after the birthday cake for Baby Jesus rant in the car

I can now envision you actually ranting your OP and it is cracking me up....I'm SERIES!!!

[Paladin]

13. Offended? Moi?

Golly, I can't imagine any Texas fan being offended by your thoughtful, incisive ruminations.

FYI, I just returned from a trip to Europe, and I can report that clueless behavior at airports is not confined to particular universities, nor even to particular nations. Airports are the natural environment of the tired, confused and hurried, and they behave accordingly.

But please, don't let me stand in the way of yet another session of DU Texas bashing.

[musette_sf]

22. please, please, please. Mr. Paladin Sir,

let "developing a sense of humor" be your #1 New Year's Resolution, and "not taking myself so seriously" be your #2 resolution.

love and peace out,
musette
:toast:

NB: Most rabid sports fans kinda suck in public places, excluding the venue where The Game is held.

[huskerlaw]

35. This isn't Texas bashing

it's Longhorn fan bashing. If you think that's the same thing, my bad.

However, I would have ranted if any other team's fans had been acting that way. But then, I'm sure you never get annoyed with anyone...ever...

[Jara sang]

16. You di'nt. You just messed with Texas.

[sasquatch]

17. Yes, we know we're more literate than the Texas fans

Thank you, thank you.

[sasquatch]

18. Put this on the front page

:D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Welcome back to "sunny" SoCal!

I love love love your rant.....beautifully done!

:applause: :applause: :applause:

[huskerlaw]

36. I'm back, I'm back, I'm back!

And now, thankfully Texas-fan free! ;)

:bounce:

[djeseru]

24. I'm not offended, being a Texan and all...

...they don't read the signs here either. Oh, and I'm not a UT fan by any means. I just happen to be in the same state...

Hope the rest of the trip went smoothly for you! (*giggle* Sorry about the negative-IQ Texans!) :hi:

[huskerlaw]

38. It did get better, thanks!

I ended up sitting next to 2 Texas fans, who were very nice...and harmless once they found their seat. ;)

They'd never been to LA before, so I played tour guide. They were very appreciative and I have calmed down a great deal. :hi:

[Fleshdancer]

33. no.

just for that, I'm putting on my Longhorn shirt and making the mental note to stand in the middle of the walkway next time I'm at the airport. :P

[huskerlaw]

39. cool with me

I'm back home now ;)
