Ever wonder how those Aggie jokes got started?

PrintIt has been said that in Poland, they tell Aggie jokes. Good luck arguing against that. Sure the Aggies are pretty much natural born losers, god love 'em, but don't take my word for it, take them in their own words. Enjoy:
Sorry, but we didn't win today.
Sure, we manipulated the game and crushed the Pac 10 expansion...but now we're in a weaker conference, Bevo TV will debut this season, and we miss an incredible opportunity to gain momentum against tu.
A&M recommitted to mediocrity for a couple bucks. We showed them!
We were the KEY player but we didn't win shit. I will continue to support Texas A&M but I won't pay for this site anymore.
We did not win, we look like tools
Because we have faired so well in the Big 12 to date and now the sips have MORE control and MORE $$.
A&M Athletics is a complete joke.
This is in no way a good thing. If you think it is, you're delusional.
I'm sick of Aggie-playing-not-to-lose leadership. I guaran-damn-tee you that if the shoe were on the other foot, at least the horns would have the nads to make the right decision...This is absolutely the final straw for me. @zzClowns all of them.
Texas gets more money, more control, and their own television network.... That sounds great for A&M...
The conference will fall apart again in a couple of years. Texas will tons of options, including independence with their own network, and can choose what is best for them. A&M will have to hope that the SEC is still interested.
So the first bump in $$ we get is to pay off our stupid athletic dept debt. The next bump is to buy our way out of a conference championship game that we'll never play in anyway. We really showed 'em this time!
"Ags win on this deal"
Please stop using heroin.
Our BOR screwed us. That's the deal.
We are tu's b*tch. Always have been, always will be.
*** Thread Edited ***
nevermind... it just isn't worth it
"My wife used to cheat on me all the time. Then, she filed for divorce. I told her she could continue to ***** around with other men and spend all my money, if she'd just not divorce me.
I saved my marriage and got my wife to stay with me.
I sure showed her."
They are all leaches on Texas. They will do whatever they say.
And apparently we are too.
Anyone think bribery was involved?
BOYCOTT KYLE FIELD
A boycott won't be necessary. Attendance will continue to drop.
Another pitiful decision by A&M leadership.
Looch, we just pissed away the best opportunity we'll ever have so that we can play in the most unstable conference in the modern era.
We are a joke.
A&M athletics is dead to me
when sips leave in a few years and we're blacklisted from the SEC, I may just burn the entire athletic dept to the ground.
Once again, our leadership finds a way to snag defeat from the jaws of victory. It's The Aggie Way.
**** THE BOR AND THEIR RETARDED ASSES!!!
___________________________
I ****ING HATE YOU ****ERS!!!
WE'RE GOING TO BE BACK HERE AGAIN IN 2 YEARS.
There are no words to describe this BS! We had texas by the balls and we caved!! We seriously need to remove the A&M from our name and change it to the "University of Texas @ college Station".
This is the worst thing I have ever experienced in my 38 years of being an Aggie. I am truly ashamed and really question if I went to the right school. What kind of message were we sent? To be subservient? To bow? Yup...that's the Aggie Way that I learned.
One word: NEUTERED.

i find myself feeling
sorry for them
That white stuff on the top of chickencrap...... is chickencrap.
Utah however . . .
Is rumored to have given the MWC notice that they are leaving the conference.
I wonder if they are leaving where they might end up?
;-)
Yes
And doesn’t it make that Sugar Bowl game glow even more brightly now?
;-)
You bastage. No, we’re joining the NAIA. Figure we’ll win all our games that way.
Sugar Bowl?
Weird, I don’t remember any Sugar Bowl involving Utah….its like I’ve blocked the painful memories out of my mind or something….
Also, wouldn’t it be hilarious if ULL or ULM joined the WAC? It would give La. Tech a reasonable road conference game for once.

That does make more sense . . .
Than bringing in Montana State, although if they did bring in Montana State?
The Idaho players could help get the cattle in at half time.
And that’s a good thing.
If they are going to promote a Big Sky team...
….they should grab Montana (not State). The Grizzlies are always deep in the playoffs and State is the team that took all the criminals Hawkins booted from Colorado (and then got beaten by, snicker). But seriously, with Boise now in the MWC and an auto-bid likely, why would the Utes want to go to the Pac11?

Utah has wanted it for decades
Why would Utah trade 3 million annually for about 15?
Why would we trade for closer ties with Stanford, Cal, Washington, Oregon, over UNLV and New Mexico?
Gee, I don’t know.
It’s a great conference academically, which the WAC and MWC never were. It’s a conference that has solid basketball, baseball, track, gymnastics, swimming, . . .few MWC teams even really try at all of them.
That’s like saying why doesn’t Alabama go to the Big East for grins. Why? The SEC is a better conference for them, and what y’all don’t understand is Utah historically sees those California teams as their rightful rivals. Our football program cut its teeth on those guys. We were in with Arizona and ASU for a long time as well and they are our natural rivals. We’ve always played and wanted games with the Oregon schools.
This is how Utah saw itself for as long as I can recall. The only rivals I would say we are leaving is Wyoming and BYU. The rest were pretend rivals, and we’re back with Colorado—the real intermountain rivalry through the early 1960s when they quit scheduling us because we hung one on them.
This is the end to our WAC/MWC nightmare which we thought would end long ago.
And, it's also the end to the dreams of
the MWC as an auto-bid conference.

Thanks
But we haven’t been a real football team for long. Utah has always cared more about roundball and academics, football was good in the old days, come back after years of performing below expectations.
Which Utah program shows up? The one that plays as a team and gleans and develops talent from the leftovers?
Or the one that is lackluster and rarely cohesive?
We’ll know if a few years.
Till then, Roll Tide!
I really think the best thing happened

What are they bitching about
They get even more money, proved to the world that they run that conference and have even more of a one game schedule than ever before. Sure they will miss out on those yearly texas-asu matchups but I think an 50/50 shot at the BCSCG at worst more than makes up for it.
They aren't quite so sure that an undefeated Texas...
…in this setup could overtake a 1 loss SEC team for the spot. They think the perception of the B12 will be pretty low.

you mean a nebraska-less big 12?
so essentially, texas or OU… yeah, that is a receipe for a poorly perceived conference. i already hold it in equal regard with the revamped MTN West.

and forgive my ignorance (at work, philsteelemag is @ home)
but how far is the MTN west from 12 teams and a conference title game?if they can just hang onto Utah, the MTN west is looking more and more like the next “AQ” conference, and “The Big SWAC” is looking more and more like 2 good teams, 2 decent ones, and a buncha crap.

The third one is my favorite
“We were the KEY player but we didn’t win shit. I will continue to support Texas A&M but I won’t pay for this site anymore.”
Yeah, because clearly the pay site you’ve invested in is what ruined everything
Hmmmmm,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,(thinking here)
(scratching my butt here),,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Wwwaitttttttt a minute!,,, did the SEC and Slive just get played like a pawn shop flute??? Did A&M use us as leverage. kinda like Rich Rod did to get something more from W .V. Hmmmm,,,,could have a similar outcome.
-
Now the big 12 /whatever is a weaker conference. Not that they weren’t questionable already but, when you loose Nebraska and a conference championship, well your no longer questionable your the new Big 10. Wow shift of power! I wonder if Texas and the rest of the street urchins just hurt their SOS ?
-
Man I’m glad I love The Crimson Tide.
I’m glad we have a great coach and people who wan’t to move forward in charge. Great times!
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL TIDE ROLL !!
He is great who can do what he wishes; he is wise who wishes to do what he can.
From all indications, we did not extend a formal invite.
Slive may have been in on the game. Recall that Slive stated we were not interested in expansion at this time. He may have agreed to take a flight out and have lunch in College Station…just to screw with Texas and OU. They did not want aTm in the SEC. aTm would have become a better team, got better players out of Texas(taking them away from Texas) and the SEC would have gained a recruiting foothold in their state. aTm coming to the SEC would have hurt Texas pretty badly, they may not want to admit it.

I really don't thin it was to Texas' benefit
aTm may come out a little better in this deal plus they get to put the screws to a hated rival.
Basically, not only did the Nebraska move to the B10 make the B10/B12 names a flip-flop, it will flip-flop the perception of the two conferences. The B10 comes out looking like a stronger conference and the B12 a weaker one.

To be perfectly honest with yall
I’m kinda pissed. I think a&m and tejas used all us. They waisted my time , a lot of OTS time , and all the rest of SEC fans time to try to get more money. The whole thing has been a waist of time. The only winners are Tejas, Kansas and Mizzu. As SEC fans we are still the prominent conference. The End!

Sure
We know the market drives college ball. If we want to make it something different, than do so, but why pretend it is else?
It’s in Utah’s economic interest as a University to jump, just as it was in th SEC’s interest to court schools like Texas and Texas A&M.
Yet, we care about our teams because we were raised in that dreamy innocence through grade school to college that made us fall in love with the ideal of college sports, an ideal we can still believe in as we know that most of these kids will never go beyond this level of play. So we invest our emotion in these guys because, they’re giving us all for the school we love—how could we not love them in return?
Regardless of motive, when the light changes in September, and the winter looms, I will yearn to feel that same gut wrenching excitement I felt as a young man listening to the radio, willing, begging them to score again and pull out those desperate games that scamper around anxiously in the half real world of my youth. For each time I feel that, each new season, the world is full of possibilities that only exist for the young, and I don’t have to do anything but watch, listen, and close my eyes to be standing in a coming evening, the smell of cold, cement stadium steps and wool coats; to live again in that time for a few hours, I will suspend the cynicism we call better judgment that encumbers my age.
