I was recently chatting with a colleague. When I shared that I graduated from A&M, she laughed and said the only knowledge she had about A&M was when she met a new person in a business setting. The guy introduced himself as...

"Hello, I'm Josh. I am a yadda-yadda with so-and-so company and a proud member of the Fighting Texas Aggies Class of 2015"

When asked, he said that he is "supposed to introduce himself like this"???

Rightfully so, she laughed at him and the ridiculousness of the introduction in a business setting thousands of miles away and 4+ years removed from Texas A&M.

WTF General Board?? Is this a thing??

There is nothing cringier than an Aggie saying Aggie stuff in a non-Texas A&M setting.

Yeah. He messed up.

It's:
I'm the proudest member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2005."

Who doesnt enjoy a good whip out in a business setting?

#23years#toosoon#harveywasright

I knew a girl in undergrad that people referred to as the FTACO. Most people knew not to touch that with a 10 foot pole (let alone their own pole) but she was apparently game for about any man that had a pulse.

What a tool

I do this daily. When I wake up, I usually start my prayer of morning gratitude in this way. I believe it's the only righteous way God will know who I am

"Hello God, it's me, Harland Williams, the proudest member of the Fightin Texas Aggie class of..."

Waiting for FTACO15 to chime in....

On that note, my colleague recalled there was another person that had FTACO15 (or some other year) on a licence plate. She had no idea what this meant and nicknamed him Tacos. It wasn't until this conversation today that she realizes that he was also an Aggie.

"By no means did I think this was a cool thing. I made fun of him."

Let this be a warning to you TACOS!!!

I figured this one out. His freshman year was JFF's heisman. I'll allow it for 5 more years.

I dunno, I'm usually numb to it all.

That is pretty cringe-worthy.

The red ass (a stupid term itself) behavior needs to stay in College Station and only be actively practiced by the students. Former Students should only partake in these things upon returning to A&M for football games, etc. And this should be done sparingly.

So is this a 2%er roll call or something?

Nah just kidding.

I prefer to tell people that I'm the proudest member of the Fightin' Blue Valley Pre-School Class of 1984, or FBVPSCO84, for short.

am I a bad ag for not even realizing what FTACO meant until I read the OP?

OP didn't know what it meant either until today. Maybe a deliberately provocative title or what you kids refer to as clickbait.

Don't forget those that like to go with "loudest and proudest"

I hope people whoop at my funeral.

But only because they are celebrating my life and not glad that I died

It's bad enough to emphatically shout Howdy at a non-Aggie event.
