Turned 50 on Wednesday the 26th and wife surprised me with tickets to the game with hotel. Went to the game in that ****hole. This was the experience:
First off, they have a cult centered around a steer. No arguing that. The next person who tells me Aggies have a cult, I will buy them a game ticket to that ****hole in Austin. Game was loud. They know how to do it on 3rd/4th down. Not as well as us, but they obviously got it done for their team.
Stadium itself is ok. It is nothing like ours being new and all. We did it first class.
Fans were good to us. DPS troopers and UTPD all around to deter stuff. Lots of Aggies around us. Some were relatives of life-long teasips. Interactions included fans around me in the game. They were loud and treated me with respect and talked cordially most of the game. Trips to the john were no issue. I sat in 127 the alumni area. All grads were mature and there to see the game. Wife commented that all the wives around had wedding sets much larger than hers. I am a watch guy and saw lots of Rolex Daytonas. Must really be showing off their debt. I am a well-compensated physician in a successful private practice. We don't flaunt wealth, but she noticed how teasippers do. I agree. But I digress.
Jackass(es) of the game…two younger alumni offspring fat ass, bags of **** that got there early with us (45min prior)…we sat right in front them due to the seats we bought. They kept droning on about how "Aggies weren't good for anything…only good for soldiering, working the land…a cult…maybe I should spit on the one in front of me (my wife)…etc". They made it absolutely obvious all of it was for our benefit. I turned around and said, "Enough. When you were pledging your frat, I was defending your asses in Afghanistan." They immediately apologized and the one threatening to spit, said he didn't even go there. Thanked me for my service. No more issues from them except to hear them talk about going to do lines of coke after the game. My wife is a beautiful redhead but scrappy. She would have beat his ass had he spit on her. I told her I had her bail money…cash in my pocket.
The whole game day experience there is very cartoonish and carnival-like. It seemed like a circus with a football game interspersed the commercial breaks. There were multiple cutesy-like events going on at the same time…a mariachi band playing and the camera on the steer eating various things…or the lit up phones back and forth they tried to keep going with their cheers for the 3:30 commercial break…all very made up. This is the stuff I see starting at Kyle Field. I have seen ya'll comment on this. Don't go there.
Bottom line. We lost a game we were not in the second half. It absolutely was their biggest game. Their season is over and this made it for them. I will never return there. It turned my stomach in a visceral way to see that sight. I have teasip friends who are doing well and smart and good citizens. They act like juveniles whose parents never taught them any manners in their stadium. Didn't hear the "poor aggies" at the end. Agree with input from others that no one would have made a move if I had gotten in their face. Most are limp-wristed drunks or nerds without a backbone. Made it back to the hotel/Dennys without incident. Heard more lip from t shirt fans in Wichita Falls.
