What if our strategy is to make it look like being really cool is actually bad? You know, here on twitter where octogenarian squares get all their news.

They do that stupid saw the horns thing off at their own graduations, and I always find it incredibly sad that A&M is so obsessed with UT that they would be doing that poo poo at their graduations. They're like a spurned lover
I don't care about any of this but I read that UT students actually carried out an air attack on the bonfire in the 1940s by flying over it in an airplane and tossing phosphorous bombs on it.

Didn't UT fans also trample an Aggie to death around the same time and at the last second Aggies were talked down from taking a train to Austin to literally burn all of UT to the ground?

Yea that's the fight song. They don't sing the fight song at graduation (at least at any of the several UT graduations I went to), which is what I was talking about. The sawing the horns off or war hymn at footballs games or other sporting events is whatever, its an old rivalry. Doing it at your own graduation is weird.

also instead of pantomiming cutting off the hours apparently UT just carries out aerial raids instead

Back when there was absolutely nothing to do in Austin. But antagonize and terrorize a whole other college. :allears:

the republicans also ran ads against obama where they said he was too cool and popular, and was too Young and Naive and Inexperienced (also are did the same thing). these beto tweets is the same thing.

these attacks are out of some strange pre-escalator playbook and i wonder how on earth the texas state republican party is so out of touch with the entire rest of their party. raging about the anthem or making up some bullshit that beto is going to reimplement jade helm would be a much better plan
