I don't normally get irritated at things of this nature but I am sick of this being a pattern of Aggie players in the NFL. Is there anyone who can give these guys feedback that this is embarassing for alumni.

Although I graduated from A&M in '03 I have been an LSU fan my entire life due to family being from Louisiana (younger brother just graduated from there this May) and I am proud of the LSU players when they announce LSU because I followed them so closely.

Aggie players in the NFL never give me this opportunity because they announce their hometown unlike 95% of the other players in these Sunday night/Monday night games.

It's frustrating for whatever personal reasons they're doing it for. ESPN, NBC no doubt instituted this for alumni of the schools AND for other fans to learn where these players played college ball.

never liked the thug...class-less

Can nothing go good for A&M football?

We have a hurricane that has devastated parts of Texas and a financial crisis on Wall Street, and what does everyone get upset about... Johnny Jolly not mentioning Texas A&M while announcing himself as a starter.

Some of yall need some perspective in life!

not the first time he has referenced his HS instead of A&M

wasn't Jolly dismissed for a while or repremanded or something like that?

-----------------------------------------------------------

we have the most insecure fanbase in collegiate athletics.

agreed, houston.

This is the A&M football board jackass, if you want that other stuff, go watch CNN

-----------------------------------------------------------

while i'm not really complaining... i wish he did mention he went to a&m, especially since he's on a nationally televised game -- helps our publicity.

"Johny Jolly....Houston, TX.....XXXXXX High School......and Texas A&M University"

Threads like this just reinforce my earlier point that 90% of the posters on this board are idiots. Threads like this makes tards look like mensa candidates.

most insecure fan base?

maybe if only one of the FEW Aggies we can claim does it, but after time and time again, its shocking

I love being an Aggie but I really don't like Aggie fans. Y'all are pretty pathetic.

Who cares if he mentions his high school instead of Texas A&M. Did you see how we played this weekend? And what if his HS got beat up pretty bad in Ike?

Go EAD.

why the hell do some on texags think that if somebody ask a question they are crying..or insecure..or an idiot. Many on here are just simply curious as to why Jolly and others do that? Whats the damn harm in that?
And yeah its dissapointing to see an "Aggie" do something like that.

This is hilarious how worked up some of you are getting over this.

He could have mentioned both.

Exactly Victory, thank you

Johnny (Not So) Jolly

up yours johnny... and you're welcome for giving you the opportunity to make your dreams come true.

why is everyone after GILL ignoring the possibility that it has to do with Ike?

F Jolly.

Victory,

Thanks for saying what a lot of us were thinking.

I think it has to do with a slight trend that this seems to follow

Before the year is over, the fans will be wearing bags over their heads and we will be known as the BAGGIES!!

There is something pathetic about this team and these coaches at this point in time. I have never seen the former students so apathetic. The stands may have people in them, but a lot of people will be giving their tickets away if the trend continues.

I'm not mad per say at Jolly. Just frustrating crap like this seems to disproportionately happen to us. Every other guy in that sequence said his college, even a no name school lime TAMU kingsville. Of the few guys we have gotten announced on national tv lately, seems like most have done the same as jolly.

On the upside (sorta), a lot of people probably thought the kingsville guy meant us!

Hard to believe that he wouldn't mention A&M.

believe it

-----------------------------------------------------------

so if you assume it's a trend among recent Aggie players, then what are the common denominators?
type of individual we recruited?
team unity, or lack thereof?
loyalty to school or lack thereof?
connection with coaches/ staff or.. (u get the point)

maybe these kids were just going thru the motions at A&M.. and never felt they were part of the school.

honestly.. i hate seeing that type of dissing on TV. and that's what it is i assure u

who freaking cares??? a lot of players dont mention their college every time during their introduction.

yall will beetch over sheet being brown.

some of y'all don't get it, this happens TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME!!!

Aggies are tired of LOSING!!!!!!!!!!!

how about some RECRUITING HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**** Johnny Jolly. And I used to like him too.
