I honestly think part of the animosity stems from the fact that as a fan base we seem to travel pretty well. A lot of fans don't really like it when a large group of their opponent's fans "invade" their home arena. I know one year at austin some season ticket holders were livid that they had sold a large group of Aggies seats next to and around them. It's easy to ignore other schools who don't travel well, you don't really notice their fans. We generally get noticed.

I have recently found out at least part of cougar high dislikes us as well.

We have sucked at football. There's so many people that just grow used to liking the teams that win. And when you lose for so long, you lose those t-shirt fans. And T-shirt fans make up the majority of the population. Tech and baylor will have their own reasons to go along with what I said about football.

I think in Techs case it has to do with the fact that ATM has looked down on them for so long and expects respect without giving them any.

Baylorhistory, did you do the Disney College Program? Where did you stay (Chatham, Vista Way, Patterson)

Honestly, we are an arrogant lot at times when we don't necessarily have the reason to be (in some sports). We do tend to dismiss the passion other fans have for their schools which is a shame.

I can give you one good reason why baylor hates us.

this has to be the gayest thread ever. if it had a ***** in it's mouth it wouldn't be more gay.

Aggies believe that that a&m is unique and that every other school is generic.

While the UT/A&M and BU/A&M hate goes back a very long way, the Tech/A&M hate only materialized in the last 15 or so years.

About the same time Tech started consistently beating A&M in football is when the hate began. A&M posted the "classless clowns" comment in a publication, Mr. McKinney lied about a Tech student punching him. Soon after "raider rash", "tech tards" and "classless clowns" were all made up in Aggieland and the Aggies tried very hard to start a stigma against Tech fans, due to the struggles on the field.

I think this is where most of the hate towards Aggies comes from, because for the most part the stigma the Aggies tried to place on Tech fans worked. And as a result Tech fans are known as uneducated heathens who all have multiple STD's.

I really doubt it was just us. If other teams in the south hate us so much, then why did they take a page out of our book?

lol... yeah, the goalpost incident, fights, boos, drinks that are thrown, and batteries that are thrown at our fans are all just rumors that we started because we wanna keep tech down...

As an Aggie fan other than when Baylor is involved, I think the big problem is Aggies have a strange combination of undeserved arrogance (your athletic program is a little above average, but nothing special ESPECIALLY considering all the resources you have) and the world's biggest case of ***** envy when it comes to Texas.

We dont give a crap about anyone elses team. For example, Baylor...really? aka the baptist womens orphanage for the blind and deaf? When they win its because a few fightin texas Aggies have an inkling of remorse for their situation as the laughing stock of the Big XII conference.

Patrick '13

Yeah Patrick, that's it.

Still? I could start this topic 2 days from now and get another 100 responses.

We all know it's because we drive big trucks, run the banks, can't dance, talk through movies, take their jobs and send our money back to College Station, are good at math, drive cabs, drink Fosters and have knives, freak people out by praying (or whooping) on airplanes, and we all love mayonnaise.

That would be enough to make anyone hate us.

I pondered this issue during my staff induced hiatus from TexAgs... and the answer came to me.

You are despised because you are the college athletics equivelent of law school gunner guy (LSG).

LSG thinks highly of himself, sees himself as one of the top students in the class, asks questions premised on unrealistic hypos to make some asinine point, takes the professor off the lesson plan on some meaningless tangent and generally just likes to hear himself talk. Typically, after first semester grades are posted, LSG is humbled by the fact that all of his "insightful" questions, extra reading, and rushing up to the professor after class earned him a ranking somewhere in the middle of the class (if that).

LSG's humbling experience shuts him up for about 3 weeks(these three weeks were absolute bliss for those of us in the top ten percent of our class). But, after a few weeks, LSG rationalizes to himself that his 50th percentile performance was better than half the class and he's convinced that if only he could gun just a little bit harder, he'll vault up to the top of the class. So LSG doubles down on his behavior...

What's worse is that some professors would affirm LSG's behavior by responding that LSG's random, non-test worthy point was "interesting". (Think of a Clemson fan telling you how awesome Kyle Field was)

Now, I'll concede that this isn't the perfect compairson, after all, Baylor/Tech have historically performed worse than TAMU in the field of athletics, but even people who were below LSG in class rankings hated LSG...

That's a horrible analogy that obviously took you a long time. What a failure. I'd much rather you hate Aggies like me for telling you how awful that was instead of believing what you wrote has any semblance of meaning.

I mean seriously. That's really, really stupid. And you thought about it for so long. Incredible.

Sounds like you just like to hear yourself type?

You're totally right Lance. You are in a much better position to answer the question of why Baylor/Tech fans hate you, instead of somebody like an actual Baylor/Tech fan.

Nice job embracing the LSG title...

Also, what the **** are you talking about dumbass?

Lance just got owned!

I find that most of the reasons people hate us are actually practiced by the people doing the hating.

The hypocrisy is hilarious.

Break a leg aggie, you classless pieces of **** - baylor sign at game

Aggies are like watermelons with seeds. They grow in the same patch as seedless watermelons, but when people finally bite into the watermelon with seeds they're like "oh SH** this watermelon has seeds". People want seedless watermelons, that's all there is to it. I've been thinking about this for a long time.

OWNED. Completely owned.

My Baylor friend says before he went to Baylor, he just didn't like our traditions and did not understand them, so basically that is why he never cared for them (he grew up a huge tshirt longhorn fan).

Now, he says he after graduated from there that he hates everything about A&M and he is not sure why.

The hate just has simmered there in Waco and infects people.

Lance follows up getting owned by owning himself. You need to give up my friend.

I really never even knew baylor hated us until a couple of years ago.

When i was a sophomore at A&M, my brother was considering schools to attend. Trying to be a good brother, I never tried to sway him to attend one college or another. One of the schools he visited was Baylor, and on the way from Houston, they picked me up to tag along.

Two years before that, Baylor had beaten us, in Waco, in football. The year after that, they won the national championship in Women's Basketball.

When we boarded the bus for a campus tour, a somewhat cute girl got up front and the VERY first thing she said was... "Welcome to Baylor University where 2 years ago, we beat Texas A&M in football"

they didnt say a word about winning the national championship or any other sport or school, just us.

Next thing she asked, "Do we have any Aggie fans here?"- My youngest brother pointed at me and said that i was a student, and the rest of the visit they were trying to get reactions out of me, trying to get me to do the "Sic'em", talking about how their rock wall is one foot taller than ours, etc.

It was pretty pathetic

If you say so. I guess you're the "owned" committee. It is cute that you're trying to help out your Baylor friend by attempting to attach any realistic meaning to his absolutely awful analogy.

A&M is like like an annoying person in a situation where that person would be deemed annoying by people who would be annoyed by them. Like at a school, a school where people thought they weren't annoying but they were. Then they found out they were annoying? Get it? Brilliant. I can't wait to type this out for everyone to see and to make it 5 paragraphs long. THEN everyone will understand why I feel the need to register on a rival board and tell them why I don't like them.

Who is this Baylor everyone keeps talking about?

Well, from the inside we can't understand it, and from the outside, they can't explain it.

Lance, you just keep proving the guy's point. Don't you get that yet?

original Troll FTW

Lance too. I roflcoptered.
