And if you say "The War Hymn", you lose a testicle...

I remember seeing the broken horns with "I will cut off the horns of all the wicked" shirts in the mid-90's but when did Aggieland Outfitters/Inspirations lift the Psalms quote from the shirt that was primarily seen on campus(where the context is understood), add the "Saw'em off" logo, make no mention of Texas A&M and plaster the thing on vehicles that travel beyond the realm of those who "get it"?

I know people have to actually buy the things, but if a place if about half stocked with "Saw'em off" mechandise(as their stores were not so long ago), the ignorant probably would assume it is ok to not promote the great Texas A&M University and to advertise the filth that is t.u.

The best shirt is the "Mess With Texas" with burnt orange horns slightly broken that on TV looks like a pro-t.u. shirt while the camera pans by. At Yell before the sip game, an Aggie player(or someone associated with the team) wore the shirt and I swear I thought someone had brought their sip friend onto Kyle Field for Yell. Burnt orange should never be on Kyle Field, or anything associated with Texas A&M, unless it is a sip wearing it during an actual game and we are whipping their arses.



Vomit.

Have you been drinking?

I partially agree with you, but isn't our history full of hating tu moments.

No, just some cold meds. I hate t.u., which is why I hate (most) "Saw'em off" merchandise. There are some anti-t.u. items I think are ok, like "I spit up on t.u." baby bibs and "You can't spell stupid without t.u." and "There is more missing here than just Horns!" shirts. I mainly detest the "Saw'em off" car/truck decals(especially the super sized ones) and shirts that could look like sip shirts(mainly those that contain burnt orange). I understand sight gags, but if you have to look at and read a shirt for more than a few seconds to figure out which team it is for/against, then it might just be poorly designed.


Gig'em Aggies!

Well, I hate tu, too. But a simple guy like me needs a t-shirt or a bumper sticker to tell everyone how I feel!

I actually have a 12th man sticker on my car.

I have a Texas Aggies sticker and a Tstar on my car...

The only A&M sticker I have says:
Texas Aggies
Est. 1876

I don't see what the problem is with the saw 'em off stickers. The big crazy ones are over the top but I think that's true of just about any big sticker. I've never met a group of people so self judgemental as Aggies. Shaka.

I have a pretty big saw em off sticker on the back of my truck. I love to show off my hatered towards t.u.! I live in dallas so you get a lot of people who love t.u. and have no ties to the school at all. I love the decal myself and i get a lot of reactions from sips when i drive by them!

So you think the Saw 'Em Off logo only shows our attention towards tu, but yet you like thing that say "There is more missing here than just Horns!", etc? Isn't that the same type of content?

The "There is more missing here" is at least clever and funny. Hating t.u. is cool, but take a look at 80% of cars and trucks with saw'em off stickers, and look for an A&M logo. It ain't there, and that is my main gripe.

Jet, do you have a pro-A&M sticker?

And if not, sure you get a rise out of the t-shirt sips, but do they even know what team you are for?

personally, i actually just bought a longhorn stick and cut the horns off myself (it just felt good in a strange way, trust me).

but then i put it upside down on my truck. You cant really confuse that with anything pro-t.u.

And Texas got your cash. Who is laughing?

Please take those off your cars. It is beyond stupid. You are embarrasing us all.

Seriously, if any Longhorns do anything but laugh at you, I'm embarrassed for them.

They've been around since at least '97 or '98. I had one on my car back then along with an aTm sticker.

I have a Century Club and a 12th Man sticker on my truck now (along with TCU alumni sticker). Don't have anything agains the saw 'em off stickers, especially if there's an Aggie sticker as well.

Buy all the anti-longhorn merchandise you can.

(I love how OU and aTm keep supporting our athletic program)

i heard a rumor that the "saw em off" decal was going to be on our helmets this year, instead of the block aTm....

I watched the '85 texas game and someone had the Saw'em Off logo painted on a bedsheet.

here in SA the other day I was getting my Freebirds fix (thank god they opened one here) and as Im driving home, I see this girl driving one of those new Beatles with a saw 'em off sticker. As I get closer I happen to notice right above the saw em off is a double T logo and it also has a tek license plate holder and one of those chrome logos (double t as well). It made me smile to realize she gave her money to one school tek hates to show its distaste for another another school tek hates.

Oh and as always:

Dont make Texas A&M look like the poor little brother whos obsessed w/ tu and take off the saw em off sticker and replace it with a Texas A&M decal.

Be PRO-A&M not anti-t.u.

As a Longhorn alum, I have no problem with the saw em off stickers. It usually means that the ag bought a Longhorn steerhead sticker and cut off the horns. This means that the purchase of the sticker(s) contributes to the evergrowing UT warchest that fuels UT's continued success. Mr. Byrne clearly undertands the value of the dollars that UT generates, so I'm definetly fine with it:

Why not be both? They are not mutually exclusive.

In my day I don't remember sawed off stuff.

We just had "Tuck Fexas" stickers.

Don't get to excited; there are plenty of places that sell the saw em off stickers (Aggieland Outfitters)

I'm with Aglax. We should start a campaign called "take 'em off" to encourage people to dump those stupid little brother stickers.

Nevermind. My post was about how "Saw 'Em Off" stickers, when viewed by others (non-A&M alumni), defaults their thinking that the driver is an Aggie. I did not read AgLax's post and I stand corrected.

I think its stupid to have those stickers.

If texas fans had gigem with an upside down thumb, I would laugh and feel sorry for them. I bet its the same way for them.

Whatever to thinking it's stupid to have a "Saw 'Em Off" sticker. I have one, not prominently displayed (it is on a side rear window, not the back window).

But anyone who could not identify me as an Ag who dislikes tu would have to be a freaking idiot. I have the Century Club sticker prominently displayed on the back window as well as a Texas A&M license plate (not the plate holder, but the plate itself).

I did have a couple of 12th Man Association stickers on both rear side windows but they had gotten so old and cracked that I recently scraped them off.

Scotch,
I got a Block aTm on the just below my saw em off sticker on my truck. I let the sips know where i go to school at.

re: the '85 t.u. game. Did the poster depict broken horns, or actually say "Saw'em off"?

The "Saw'em off" logo I dislike are the broken horns with the words saw'em off underneath. It is this decal that contains no direct association with Texas A&M, evidenced by the use of the sticker by non-Aggie fans. Hopefully tceh and OU will "steal" this slogan away and force us to chose between the Block T, the T Star, Gig'em Aggies(with and without thumb), 'Ol Sarge, Texas A&M University, TAMU, Texas Aggies, etc. for use on our windows.

LOL Did you not learn anything from the little exercise you all had with the Seattle Seahawks and the 12th man thing?

Actually, Aggieland Outfitters has the legal rights on the Saw'em Off logo. It is changed enough from the horns logo.

That is why none of the other bookstores in B/CS can sell the shirt.
