Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas?

I have recently noticed a far greater opinion among conservative Texans that UT Austin is a liberal brain washing institution, and that good conservative children go to A&M, Baylor, etc. More likely than not it's just a smoke screen for not admitting that their kids didn't get in to UT.

As someone who grew up in BCS, Aggie hatred for UT and Austin are real as gently caress.

It amuses me how the rivalry mostly manifests as ridicule in one direction and a massive inferiority complex in the other.

I mean, you never see UT alumni driving trucks (and it's almost always a truck) poo poo-talking A&M, but those "Saw 'em Off" stickers are pretty common.

Oh yeah it's a total little brother thing, most UT people consider the real rivalry to be with OU.

A&M is all they got over there, Austin has other stuff. My folks used to belong to RC Slocum's country club so I'd see him driving his maroon tricked out caddy with two A&M window flags as he parked between two maroon colored parking lines, because everything in BCS is maroon.

And UT doesn't have wheel barrels filled with horseshit labeled "UMAT" that they bring to parades.

If UT and A&M never play again I'm cool with that because the last memory they have is losing to the derpiest Texas QB in history, Case McCoy.

In other news, I guess Abbott wants legislation to make anything against law enforcement a hate crime and to start spoon-feeding literal propaganda to kids about the importance of law and order.

I'm imagining at some point people who are arrested will get additional charges of violating an officers right to sit on their rear end and eat donuts.

Iunno, man. I get that you grew up here and all, but I've never gotten the impression that it's more than a small number of people being very vocal about it because they don't have much else going on. The vast majority of people don't give it much thought.

Where are Aggies right now on the rivalry now that yall are in the SEC? Does anyone give a poo poo? Who's varsity team is getting it's horns sawed off now

We would probably be satisfied with a 3 win season if it meant getting the rivalry back.

(And it wouldn't even have to be a victory that year either )

Honestly none of the conference games (other than Arkansas and maybe LSU) really feel like rivalries anymore, which sucks. I wish we had a thing like Clemson and SCAR have.

For whom? The police officer who arrest someone with the only charge being, resisting arrest, or for the person getting arrested?

That's a pretty lovely reason to try to fight someone, but kids are dumb so I'm still going to write that one off.
