The sips, Notre Dame, and LSU seem to lead the league in t-shirt fans and I try to avoid them.

BTW, the best response to an obnoxious t-shirt fan is to ignore them and treat them as irrelevant because they are irrelevant, like a barking dog.

So, t-shirt fan here, I was first exposed to A&M in 2002, I started dating a girl who was a senior, we went to midnight yell and the Oklahoma game. As I progressed in my career, I spent time at the fire school, frequented TEEx, and spent quite a bit of time in and out of CS, even using it as a hub for my westerly road trips with my son. To be honest , it was that first exposure where I fell in love with the school and the traditions. It has never made sense for me to seek a degree there, until recently. I made a career of EMS, now I am in EMS management, considering opening up my own service,so I may look at a business degree, now that my son is graduating high school in the next six months (no, he is working on his helicopter pilots license)…

I definitely don't get into the academic smack, I rarely talk sideways about sports, either except on here. But I grew up in a family of military and missionaries. I moved around a lot growing up, and we made community wherever we found ourselves. I found community with y'all about 23 years ago. You've been my friends, and you've been my neighbors. Never once has an Aggie made me feel like less than because my life did not fit with going to college for more than a few add on classes that filled a need for my career. I thank you for that, but I thank you more for being a community for me, and a family for me that transcended boundaries. In moves across the country, Aggies have always seemingly found me and welcomed me in no matter being a t shirt fan or alum. I have been invited to and attended muster many times by the friends I made.

Thank you.

That wouldn't work this year. Arch is all over every CFB broadcast, Gameday, etc.

They wear baby diaper poo colors in case they have an unfortunate incident in public…

There is nothing wrong with rooting for a school you didn't attend, but nonstop trash talking and completely unwarranted sense of elitism all because of a $10 dollar t-shirt baffles me.

Where are you seeing collegiate branded tshirts for sale for just $10?

(Sadly, posting that link will likely create a hundred morr t-shirt sips by noon).

Good bull. And obviously not the same as whorn shirt sip losers who picked them thinking that they aligned with the state as a whole.

Because they base their entire identity on a team that doesnt give two ****s about them other than in their willingness to spend that minimum wage check on burnt orange gear. The sell a ton because idiots love to waste their money on drugs, debt, and other signals of idiocy.

When we point this out to them, it reminds them of just how they peaked at high school graduation and they've not gotten any further ahead and you became a successful graduate.

They hate us on behalf of a school that would never accept their membership and somehow they find value in that.

Easy to shut them up
1. What year did you graduate?
2. Buying a hat at Buckees only makes you non graduate fan

That usually shuts them up.

Everyone that watches ESPN at all knows who their starting QB is. Just saying

Sorry , didn't see Moore Truckers post before I posted

I had a guy tell me this week that he wasn't a t-shirt fan he was a collared shirt fan.

Typically t-shirt sips didn't even go to college while t-shirt Ags went and graduated somewhere else for a specific reason.

The only T-shirt fans I don't respect are the ones that switch teams during down years.

I had a buddy that was all Texas when they were winning and I respected the trash talk. During a few down years for them, he switched to a new team - hat, shirts etc.

I never respected him after that.

I told him, "That's the difference between you and me - my team loses and I am still an Aggie. Your team loses and you just switch hats."

Those folks are typically living vicariously thru their Walmart purchased sippy shirts.

I had an LSU t-shirt fan sneeringly ask me once: "So you're an Aggie fan?"

"No," I said. "I'm an A&M graduate."

This is more or less exactly what's happening to CFB, and answers OP's question:

(note: the content creator below is generally very political, but the video below is free from political commentary, outside of the ads for conservative products)

For the exact same reason that NFL fans are obnoxious at all of those games... they put on the shirt and have zero reason to care about how others view/feel about their team/school/city fans as a whole.
