HELL NO...

The only exception is Galveston. When Houston finishes sinking into the Gulf then College Station will have its on port...

ag major honkeys...very nice CU04. yea you're not an Aggie, just a jealous ass. i bet half of us aren't even ag majors here on texags. so how about a nice warm cup of STFU!!

Isn't A&M just a branch of UT since it's THE University of Texas?

The real A&M is in College Station. This is where you go if you are an Aggie.

I attended A&M at the Dallas campus and I'm more of an Aggie than half of you overall wearing ag major honkeys.


A&M has a "Dallas" campus? Tarleton?

Texas A&M at Galveston and Texas A&M at Qatar are the only branch campuses and thus the only Aggies. The other eight universities are independent, stand-alone universities with their own histories, traditions, and mascots. They are not Aggies and they do not get Aggie rings.

One way to look at it is that all the UT branch campuses are "natural children"--created by UT from the ground up. All the Texas A&M System campuses (except for those in Killeen and San Antonio, now under way) are "adopted"--they existed for decades before being brought into the A&M System.

aggieann, so? still doesn't make the "natural children" longhorns. besides, UTEP was Texas Western before they became a UT system school, but they're not longhorns. they're Miners.

So this person we hired had an accounting degree from "UT" on their resume. We thought, wow, impressive, very good accounting program etc.

Then, we notice this person is not as smart as we thought?
Then through casual conversation it becomes clear that this person graduated from UT(P)eanut(B)utter.

Can you really consider yourself an Aggie if you don't even know where the campuses are?

Tarleton State University, in Stephenville, does offer courses in Dallas, but is not considered a Dallas campus.

The website posted above is a link only to A&M System agencies that have a presence in Dallas.

Rodo, so if ag majors don't count, how about we just get rid of the A and just call & M.

Yeah, well a girl at our office (not here anymore) called herself an Aggie and was so excited when I came on board cause she would have "another Aggie" around the office. After some initial small chit-chat I looked at her ring and said, "THat's not an Aggie ring?!" She said, "no, it's from Sam Houston, that's were I graduated from. But I grew in College Station but couldn't get into A&M, so I had my Sam Houston ring ordered to look as much like the Aggie ring as possible. I'm still an Aggie, though."


Umm....no you're not, you're a whatever the Sam Houston mascot is.

a bridesmaid in a wedding I was in last summer was wearing a gold class ring that looked a bit like an Aggie ring. I thought it was weird since I knew she went to SFA. I asked her about it, she said that she always wanted to be an Aggie, but since A&M doesn't have a deaf education major (SFA does), at least she could get her SFA ring to look as much like the Aggie ring as possible.

If you're diploma says Texas A&M University on it, you are an Aggie. If it says Texas A&M University - (insert city name here), you are not and never will be an Aggie unless you go to Texas A&M Univeristy and get a graduate degree. This really isn't that hard folks.

I don't consider anyone that isn't enrolled at Texas A&M university to be a part of it.


This is not a problem in Wisconsin.
If you didn't go to the Madison campus, then you = teh suck.
Most people in Wisconsin get fed into the Madison campus if they have the grades, recs etc.
It is a bit different than the state of Texas, because we don't have the 10% rule etc. So, in the end, everyone that didn't have a 1400 and straight A's does not get in, on first ballot, so to speak, you gotta prove it.

Just so alot of you know, the vast majority of people who went to one of the satelite schools don't consider themselves to be Aggies, don't call themselves Aggies, and don't care that they aren't Aggies.
