I'm thinking play a few games before starting smack.

Not A&M official if I had to guess...

i'm thinking that is fake.

While I am a fan of a little bit of trash talk, this bravado is a bit ridiculous...

On the other hand, I am in general a fan of getting rivalries going with public displays.

Gotta love this part of the article:

...but what is not up for debate: Texas A&M is so very much home in this conference. Every time the Aggies act up, their former conference mates start doing that, "The Aggies are your problem now!" thing. Nothing I'm seeing here looks out of line in any way with standard behavior in the Southeastern Conference. May your billboards fly forever, Aggies...

--Out.

The school has never used "Aggie Nation" (and I'm sure never will). No A&M marks.

This is not a University Billboard.

Just win the game and it won't matter.

To cluttered to convey message

Was it in a good location?

For the record the best academics and cleanest program in the SEC is Vanderbilt so that line could have been dropped.

No turning back now. Gotta put up or shut up.

who is the DA that put this up.

Agree with everything.

^ except the use of grammar

"DA"??

Designated *******?

Jason Cook already tweeted it isn't ours.

Since when does $600 make you a rich DA?

THE BEST College Football Power Rankings..www.DanTanna.com

"Real football, Real Tradition"??

If it is real, its not in a busy location. Far north side of town, relatively far from the University. It would be similar to putting a billboard on Wellborn road South of Rock Prairie. A few business (Home Depot, but nothing else)and predominantly residential area headed out of town

I don't think you know how much boards cost.

I don't know why, but this has rich tsip written all over it to me. Why would we disparage their academics and honesty? Football smack, yeah. But this?

This had to be a tu or gaylor fan.

The cleanest/best academics is obviously a jab at TAMU.

"Aggie Nation" - Tip off that its a Fake!

Low class and ineffective attempt at sabatoge. This kind of pot stirring crap may work in the Bevo 10, but not in the Conference of Champions.

The perp needs to be smoked out and run up the proverbial flag pole...exposing that person and/or group for the envious frauds they are.

My post from the other billboard thread

It's definitely real. Is it possible to find out who funded it?

My guesses in order :

#1 Florida State folks - they are known for such crap
#2 tu folks in FL - possibly in cahoots with FSU folks since FSU is courting the B12
#3 BU folks - Again with FSU help because the FSU guys have been on the BU boards a lot
#4 WVU folks - they have been been up bevo's a$$ and they are pissed about MU getting the SEC invite

It could be A&M folks, but seems poorly executed if it was. I don't think it was official from any school tho. If it was Gator fans they know Vandy and they may not know Whoop.

If it were done by aggies TAs woulda been the first to hear about it, Aggies are terrible at keeping secrets...see option offense.

MrSec caught wind of this and really trashed the Ags in the process.

He also had a article about the Jenkins and Matthews suspensions that was extremely critical of Sumlin (the comments of that article are actually pretty good and defended Sumlin/ presented facts much better than the actual article).

Hopefully a win saturday will shut him up.

sorry for rook links

Nothing about this billboard even hints at it being Texas A&M/Aggie-inspired.

Stupid.

Try harder next time, haters.

I'm guessing it has ties to Waco.

Cost $600? Try $3000-5000. Ever considered rental of the space, the crew that has to remove the old display, the cost of production for the new display and the crew to put it up.

No bevel = not official

old army is right, but most of the time installation is included in the space. Still right about the cost though.

it's obviously not tied to the university in any way, there are no trademarked images or phrases used in it.

Regardless of it's officiallity... it still makes us look dumb.
