Have you read the Rangers game thread? Astros fans are hardly the only fan base that use 'we" or "us" when talking about the team they follow.


No I haven't. Rangers fans annoy me.

Be sure and say "Howdy" when you do. I'm still waiting on your answer.


You're trying too hard on this…I guess this is all you have left, using we as a fan doesn't distinguish you are a part of the team, but you do you.

Considering you attended a university that considers itself "the home of the 12th man" you are making an incredibly inane point right now.


In all my time at TAMU I never met someone who considered themselves part of the team w/o playing. Perhaps it is you who doesn't know what that means.
wait… so you have a degree from Texas A&M and can say you never met a single person at A&M now or then even that considers themselves a part of the team…. So did you sit by yourself underground and watch football games on you CRT TV. An Alabama fan who has been to college station 1 time has met someone who considers themself a part of the team. That's literally the main thing about our school lol

Lets pump the breaks on "our school" until you get your AgTag.

BTW you know what the 12th man means. Watching the games, yelling loud, standing all game, doesn't mean fans are on the team.

I'm not sure you wording this correctly. All fans think they are part of the team. The Astros fans act like they are the ones making diving catches and hitting tape measure shots of Will Smith. These players play for our teams because they are contractually obligated to. They would be just as happy to represent other teams if it was financially rewarding to do so. College sports, at least it used to be, is represented by athletes that made a conscious decision to play for a school, so the bond is closer.

I do know the noise coming from the Houston side of this board has ratcheted up a few notches over the past 2 days. My Facebook feed has exploded with my Houston friends' obnoxious posts. Somebody needs to shut the bully up.

For the record, a lot of us posted here after going down 0 to 2, but the only Arlingtonians I see right now are you and Mensa "their's no I in We" over here.

But I'll bookmark this page to remind myself that fans apparently aren't suppose to boast about their team's success on a trash talking thread. Noted.

my entire family went to A&M and I played CBB at another school, but based on how you are talking I've probably spent more time at A&M then you and probably even give more and support A&M more than you. So hide being you "Ag Tag" while basically denouncing the main tradition at the school you went to lol

The problem with Ranger fans is that they are a subset of Cowboy fans. Not all Cowboy fans root for the Rangers but all Ranger fans root for the Cowboys. They take the worst traits of CFB and apply it to their team. Cowboy fans might be delusional and arrogant, but they have a history they can fall back on (albeit quite a while ago). They have things to be proud of. The Rangers have nothing so their arrogance seems premature and childish.

I went to dinner with a big Yankee fan in Chicago last year. Talking baseball. He said "you guys are all new to this hate stuff" We only hate the Astros because you beat us every year. We only hate Altuve because he is the most clutch playoff guy we ever faced. Him and David Ortiz. Nobody hates the crappy teams like the Rangers.

This is a fair observation. Nobody hates the Texas Rangers except Astros fans. I'd say Cowboys and Astros fans are similar, with Astros fans leading the charge right now.

Oh, I'm a Rangers fan that's not a Cowboys fan. Far from it.

Pretty cool shirt



I get what they were going for, but my OCD prevents me from buying something where Houston is on the western half of the state. They should have split it North / South (or NW / SE).

I feel like you're just trolling at this point......

But, nobody on this message board thinks they're part of the team.

Yes, people say things like "We need to win this one." That's not unique to the Astros fanbase. I guarantee you that you can find a post saying "We suck" on the Football board.

Except Astros Fans. Y'all should hate New York and Boston. They're the ones who siced the MLB on y'all for cheating. I don't get the hate for the Rangers. It was weird going to College Station and hearing from Astros fans how they hated us. Like why do y'all care about us at all.

Cowboy fans and Astro fans are nothing alike. One lives in past one in present.
Cowboy fans are like Yankee fans. Living in past.

Cause we are playing against you to make the World Series…. And are a division rival. Before the Astros were in the AL west I honestly didn't think twice about the rangers, even were rooting for them against the cardinals (who were a division rival at the time). Now I don't think twice about the cardinals. That's the way sports work lol

I figured y'all would be hanging your hat on 1) mental framber still having to pitch and 2) having to win one at MMP.

2 solid **** talking points for you. Yet here we are.

AgTag Smack, and "who is obsessed with who" smack are on about the same level to me. It usually gets brought after getting your ass beat and have nothing better to offer.

dude Astros fans were not obsessed with the rangers when we were in the NL, maybe the couple that you knew that live around you in DFW cause they are stuck around it all the time, but I guarantee you 90%+ of Houston fans didn't care less. Like I said a lot of us even rooted for y'all to beat the cardinals… (which was when we were in the NL numb nuts)
