visiting fans are the worst, especially when you lose at home

[Kat Kid]

UGA FANS ARE THE WORST! (tigerboard)

Ok I want the "SEC fans are so welcoming and nice" bs to stop now. I hope all the other SEC schools act better than the GA fans. I saw several get kicked out for fighting and throwing things. And I am sorry but for a whole section of fans to flip off every member of the opposing team as they get introduced is classless. I would put them right on par with d-bag ku fans. I never had as much problem with any fan base in the big 12 other than the ku fans.

I would say they are worst then your typical fan. Disappointed too after hearing the hype.

FAKE AGGIES AND FRAT BOYS ARE THE WORST! (texags purging of the infidels)

This afternoon I assumed command of evening flag detail at Texas A&M University as Executive Officer of my unit. As I marched in front of my block of 15, we came around the bend of the Oceanography building to a scene of hundreds of members of fraternities and sororities partying on the steps of the Administration Building. As we approached the main flag pole that bears our nation's flag and that of the state of Texas, we were welcomed with an uproar of boos and curses by hundreds of members of Greek life.

Upon arriving at the main flag, I sent squads of 3 to the smaller flags that encircle the plaza. As myself and a squad of 4 stepped up to the main pole, it was covered with members of some fraternity partying and dancing. Luckily, College Station PD, actually respecting our university and nation, dispersed the Greeks who were reluctant to leave and shouted obscenities at myself and my cadets as they walked away. While the flags were lowered I brought my saber to present arms, keeping an eye on the flag to make sure it was lowered properly.

Despite harassment from countless members of Greek life, my cadets were able to properly retire our nation's colors and reform the block. Despite being insulted and having items thrown at them, they kept their military bearing and executed our purpose for crashing the Greek party... the purpose of showing respect to the flag for which millions have laid down their lives to defend and a symbol of freedom and liberty for all.

So I apologize to all those members of Greek life who felt this wasn't a purpose worth shutting down your rap music or ceasing to shout obscenities for fifteen minutes. As I marched my platoon away, groups of Greek life members thought it would be funny to block our path. I kept my bearing and announced to make way for the flag of the United States. By the steady tone of my voice and stern look of my face they got the message.

I told my freshmen that they learned a valuable lesson today. While some others party and pay no real respect to the traditions of of Texas A&M University, we in the Corps of Cadets are the true keepers of the spirit. We will execute or duties and stand loyal to the purposes of Texas A&M and of the United States of America. I am proud to be a member of the Corps of Cadets which has taught me the values of selfless service, honor, integrity, and discipline.

"The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral. Returning violence with violence only multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars."

I respect and thank my freshmen and sophomores for maintaining their military bearing and standing true to our cause while being met with just less than violence. Good job, guys. You demonstrated to all those around you, including visiting fans from the University of Florida, what the true Aggie Spirit represents.

I know this has been brought up many times but this seriously has to be adressed by others in a higher position than I am.

after sawing them off the first time, if you're going to whoop, don't hold your whoop for 10 ****ing seconds. that completely messes up the sway.

secondly, when we link arms, keep singing the damn song. (I think it was the first time we did the war hymn before the game) the student section went completely away from the song and started yelling left or right. after this, we were completely off from where the band was in the song.

I reserve my right to complain by offering an idea for a solution. why doesn't everyone continue singing, link arms, left legs whatever you want, and then sway to the right. If you don't make a big deal about it, and know in your head that you're going to sway to the right it solves the problem. The "saw" effect will come with the different speeds of swaying.


Second point. Did anyone notice the tall yell leader today during CGD or the game? He seriously looked lost, definitely behind in the movements. Yell leaders have the camera on them at many different moments, and he was trying to watch the other yell leader, not to stay in sync, but to just get the right movements down. I know this was his first game. I don't know if he was intimidated, or sick or what, but it can improve. I'm sure he'll get much better as the season goes.

sorry for the rant, but i don't want opposing teams to get the idea that our war hymn has a part in it that gets completely out of sync every time.

Didn't know there were A&M'rs that think army stuff is Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

I enjoyed this

the long one written by the future cop was my fave KK

[skycat]

So glad to be rid of the delusional meth heads and weirdo cultists.

[Frankenklein]

  I thought it was seeing not sawing

[sonofdaxjones]

That's just typical Collie Cult stuff . . . what's truly funny is mu, they spent all summer long thinking  it was just going to be one giant S-E-C, S-E-C, S-E-C reach around.   

[MadCat]

MU fans angry with Georgia fans...A&M fans angry with their own.

[wabash909]

Great stuff, KK.

Nobody can match A&M when it comes to caring what opposing teams think about them.  They live to impress visiting fan bases.

It actually gives me a tiny, tiny bit of remorse for hating every single person that I ever see with aTm clothing.  Tiny bit.


Those poor kids at aTm who are not cadets have to feel like they made the worst mistake of their lives.  I can only pray that they simply did not get into UT.  Could you imagine living with the horror of having been accepted to UT, but deciding to go to aTm? I would kill myself by igniting myself in a gasoline fire in the middle of the quad.

By and large, Greek at ATM = wait listed by UT

[yoga-like_abana]

god that was great, especially the part about marching his platoon away

[Dugout DickStone]

By and large, Greek at ATM = wait listed by UT

I partied down there with some, decent guys who are legacies, townies or couldn't get into UT.  They think the corp of not military guys is silly.

Yes, but better than Manhattan. Kansas, that is.

(This from people from Houston.  And I thought Rice was for intelligent folks)

There is a reason The First 48 is filmed in Houston, not Lawrence.

That's my thought.  I have friends up in the Woodlands and that area is pretty nice, but as for Houston itself...meh.

Not enough traffic and those pesky zoning regulations.

seriously, does Rice football have fans?  Rice basketball?  Hard to think of an NCAA Div 1 athletic program with a lower profile.

They're from Texas so they think everywhere else is a dump. It's the exact opposite of people who don't live in Texas who all think that Texas is a dump.

As amazing as it would appear, they actually seem to like Ames and Iowa State.

This is exactly the way people from Texas think about themselves and Texas. They really are some of the most arrogant bastards you'll ever meet. Texas is not as great as they think it is.

I went to Rice, its a great campus, near the Museum District and in one of the few nice places IN Houston.

But anyone calling Lawrence a dump is a full blown ******.

I live in the lone star and I like it here.  As a pilot, I have been fortunate to see many places.  Let's put it this way, when I retire next year, it will not be in Texas.  It was 103 here yesterday.

Lawrence is terrific. Its an independent, disconnected suburb of Kansas City. It is perfect just as it is.

And by definition a "dump" cannot be pretty and that which is pretty is not a dump. He should have said "its a small town totally built around a University. Perhaps they should have played UMKC if they're looking for the big city feel.

Any Houstonian calling Lawrence a dump needs a serious reality check.  The Woodlands is nice--my wife's sister lives there--but I could not be convinced to live in Houston.  Lawrence actually has seasons.

I've no idea where the OP got that since the Scouts site is pretty quiet and Rivals isn't much better.

Then again, they're Texans so what did you expect?

[AbeFroman]

Every city is worse than Lawrence in the squawk mentality. Only San Francisco is on par.

[Rage Against the McKee]

Only KU could get pissed off at the only visiting fan Rice brought to the game.
