Houston Chronicle article about UT/A&M admissions

<p>Please, don't flatter yourself. McCoy getting hurt in Kansas State game is what costed us the Big XII championship. </p>

<p>UT with healthy McCoy: 28 Oklahoma: 10
Faggies at home with everyone: 16 Oklahoma: 17</p>

<p>hmmm makes you think...</p>

<p>Umm, Cart McCoy playing against us and Texas still lost.</p>

<p>And about the K-State game: OMG, even BAYLOR beat kansas state. If Baylor can beat K-State, texas should be able to with or without Cart McCoy</p>

<p>What? I didn't catch that. I was too busy looking at the all-time series record: 73-35-5</p>

<p>I know it's hard to accept that UT has higher academic, athletic and aesthetic standards than A&M but please, don't let your pregidous make you blind to these facts. A&M hasn't won a football national championship since 1939! UT has more wins, a higher winning percentage, more all-americans, more heisman trophies and more class than A&M. Accept this and move on.</p>

<p>lmao this thread is great.</p>

<p>It really is sad because A&M is nothing more than UT's jealous little brother that is constantly begging for attention. If the world were to get an enema, they would insert the hose directly in the center of College Station.</p>

<p>Got this from facebook. ^_^</p>

<p>This was heard on Jim Rome's radio show recently. For those of you who don't know who Rome is, he is a nationally syndicated sports talk show personality based in California with no other connections to Texas.
You see, ESPN is spending the season following the A & M Football team for some documentary. Well, I guess Rome has something to say about the Aggies & College Station. Here it goes:</p>

<p>"They won't shut up. They have to go on about spirit, and old army, and red ass, and how bonfire represents the burning sensation they have in their urine to beat UT, and blah blah blah. Shut up. You start to get the feeling the entire school was built to spite UT. Forget the fact that when the Texas Legislature back in the 1870's passed legislation to start a state university they also decided to have a subsidiary branch of the main school(University of Texas) that would teach agriculture and mechanics. Aggies love to say their school is older, from where they get that I don't know......the fact is, the State intended A&M to be a branch of UT. They are like the afterbirth from the original creation. Like Danny Devito in "Twins". So they apparently have this complex, so much so, that they must devote their entire school to trying to prove to UT that they are just as good. All the while, nobody at UT denies that A&M is a good school, yet they won't shut up. So they write a fight song......about?....Texas,
and how they want to beat them. They have a Fish Camp for freshman where they tell them how bad Texas is and how good A&M and all its traditions are.
It is the world's largest known case of ***** envy, and it is manifested in everything A&M does. The people at A&M. Now we all have friends who went to A&M or are at A&M. There are some nice people there. However...there is the Corp. East Texas' answer to dreams of ROTC kids everywhere. For every boy scout who never learned to stop playing with his GI Joe Toys, there is the Corp. Now, forget the fact that A&M will actually let people with sub-par grades enroll if they agree to join the Corp. Forget the fact that the Corps looked like a Gestapo hate rally while beating down students on Kyle Field in 1995. Forget the fact that along with the numerous hazing charges that have been filed against them, and swept under the rug over the years, they just this past month have had one Corps member bring charges against another Corps member who apparently had been propositioning others for a little actual sodomy. Not only could I go on with more instances of idiocracy by these Khaki-clad-shaven-headed-dorks, I am sure each of you have your own stories.
The point is: We all respect West Point, Annapolis, The Air Force Academy; however, nobody respects the Corp. I imagine they are kind of the laughing stock of the military world. Just because you dress like the Army, and try and act like the Army, does not make you the Army. People at A&M don't even respect these clowns. It is not cool to shave your head and dress up. Halloween is only supposed to be one day of the year. If you want to carry guns and beat up civilians, move to Israel. It is even less cool to slobber on somebody's daughter on national television and call it a tradition. Dry humping 18 year old girls in the stands at football games is not cool. Not only is it not cool, it should be against the law. I know that in College Station, students are just prone to mount each other on the campus lawn, or in the middle of class, or anytime anything good happens you can just grab the girl sitting next to you and start sucking on her face. But everywhere else in the world, it is looked down upon. Especially if you are doing it on my TV. That is why we have moved the game from Thanksgiving. Because people across the nation were gagging on their turkey when in the middle of watching a football game, some boy scout is tongue thrashing some overweight co-ed during somebody's Thanksgiving dinner. We do not need to see burly women engaged in a suckfest every time your woeful offense manages to put points on the board. Some of these girls are in desperate need of a trip to the Clinique counter. Screw that, forget make-up, it is too late for that, just give them a veil.
"t.u." is not funny. It is NOT insulting. It is dumb. Just imagine if folks from Texas kept talking about M&A and giggling. That would not be funny. In fact, it would be retarded. That's why UT fans don't do it. Please learn. You want to lose the image of country bumpkins, of a people fond of sheep, of people that aren't stupid? Then quit building things that fall down. Quit chasing cheerleaders around with swords on national TV. Quit whooping in church. Quit whooping period. Quit putting up scoreboards for the enjoyment of dead mammals. Quit spending your Friday nights practicing how to yell. Quit telling rape jokes to reporters when you're running for Governor. When you are filling out season ticket renewals, and the form asks for your phone #, H & W, quit putting 258-3999, Height 6'3", Weight 185. Just, collectively, stop making asses of yourselves.
Go to East Texas, tour every small town, and ask every red neck with a 5th grade education why they cheer for A&M and wear maroon. That is your fan base. This is why you are perceived by the educated masses as stupid. Nobody cares if you think your band is better. They might be louder, they might march in neat little zig zags, but they have no musical ability. The point is, nobody cares who wins halftime. Quit getting geeked up about marching bands. I find it hard to believe you stood through your high school band's entire halftime performance. And why? Cause nobody cared then and nobody cares now. Plus, you can hear them fine sitting down even if you do care. Why is it cool all of a sudden now that you're in college? Men should never let out high pitched whooping sounds. Perhaps the only justifiable situation in which this can be tolerated is perhaps during an anal probe. Oh wait...I understand now.
Dogs are not ladies. They don't look or smell like ladies. Dogs eat their own feces and should be treated accordingly.
Finally, College Station is an arm-pit of a town. Quit pretending that it is a great college town. It is a town and there is a college there. That should be the end of this comparison. If you feel that life doesn't get any better than the Dixie Chicken, and enjoy being stuck in a never ending "Dukes of Hazard" episode, then move there. More importantly, don't move to Austin.....they are trying to create an educated, technological, and open minded population base. Austin is, and will continue to be, the birthplace and final resting place of all that is cool.
As my friend Stephen Johnson once said: "If the world were ever to get an enema, College Station is where you would connect the hose." If you go to school at A&M, please don't be an Aggie.</p>

<p>Hope this Helps!!!</p>

<p>and Hook'em Horns!!!</p>

<p>^ Rome never even said that. Some whiny t-sip posted that on hornfans.com a few years ago, and its been misattributed to Rome ever since.</p>

<p>I'll give you a pass tho; reading comprehension probably isn't taught at t.u.</p>

<p>Bahah. I'm not here to argue with you about the rivalry b/t UT and ATM nor do i know who Rome is and, frankly, don't care who he is. I just thought the "article" was interesting. You probably would have posted the same thing up if it was about UT. :p</p>

<p>Aww, you're just bitter that UT didn't accept you. :p</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>don't be bitter you didn't get into UT. and if you want to talk about aggie football, go to your own board...if you can find any other people there that will listen.</p>

<p>P.S. if you're going to resort to pictures....</p>

<p>I wonder what that is in his hand?</p>

<p>Its true. Its their loss though. My mission here is to make sure that all the qualified students who get anally raped by the bogus 10% rule dont get suckered into the CAP though. If you get into UT, congrats. If you get CAPed, dont waste your time and money on a glorified junior college that only guarantees you a natual sciences/lib arts transfer, and doesnt give you a cent of scholarship money. If you have the grades, A&M, baylor, Oklahoma, and even tech are way better options.</p>

<p>Apparently you know as much about the CAP program as you do about college football (not much). I had a few more glamorous schools to attend out of high school (U Toronto, UF, UGA, Wake Forest, McGill, etc.) but I've been a Longhorn since I was born and if this is the only way to get to Austin then I figured it was worth a shot. That stuff you're saying about the scholarship money is bunk. UTA is paying for most of my tuition right now through academic scholarships. I've met some amazing people here and made business connections that are going to be very valuable to me in the future. I've also gotten a 4.0 GPA my first semester of college. If you're willing to put in the work, the CAP program is an awesome option. I have a spot waiting for me at Austin right now, but because I decided to put a little effort in my first semester, I may have a spot at Chapel Hill or USC waiting for me also. The CAP program has turned out to be a very worthwhile experience because it's really opened up a bunch of doors for me.</p>

<p>I knew said they'd screw over everyone, i said they screwed over me. I even accepted UTsA CAP, and those retards never followed up on sending my housing contract after I gave them my deposit, and they set my financial aid up on 2 separate accounts. By the time they corrected their mistake, they informed me all their pell grant money was gone. I *****ed to high heaven, and one lady told me "You're not really our problem, you're essentially UT's student". That essentially sealed the deal for me about going to A&M. The excessive welcoming i received even before the start of school was night and day vs UTSA</p>

<p>My best friend that is now utsa got an eviction notice the other day, which he only got rescinded after he mailed them some documents for a THIRD time. He said all the staff that handles those lower level administrative affairs are "stoned students that dont give a ****"</p>

<p>Im not telling anyone what they have to do, just dissuading them based on my personal experiences.</p>

<p>And Im not surprised you have a 4.0; dont expect USC or UNC-CH to be overly impressed either. My firned has a 3.8 at UTSA while working full time. He says its basically a junior college.</p>

<p>That last post should say "I never said..." Sorry, its 3 a.m. and Im running on caffeine. 2 exams tomorrow :(</p>

<p>I'm sorry you had such a bad experience with the CAP program, I really am. I can also tell that you're still very bitter about it and that's fair. While I'm sorry that you feel like a big person by discrediting how I've done academically this semester, I am pretty happy that you have no idea what you're talking about. I talked with my counselor at UTA and she said a freshman from here was sent to UNC with <em>GASP</em> a 3.65 last year. I have talked to UNC and USC admissions counselors personally and apparently getting a 4.0 your first semester of college while taking 18 hours isn't THAT bad no matter where you attend school (SHOCK! HORROR!). I guess the fact that I'm doing so while working 15-20 hours a week with a production company is somewhat respectable, but what do I know. I think it's fair to say that I might be able to make it through day to day activities without wearing a ****ing helmet on my head, but I can't make any guarantees. Worst case scenario I'm going to be in Austin next year partying on Sixth street and watching the Horns beat up on your Aggies. I suppose that's a decent consolation. Now when you respond, please type using very simple words as I may not be able to comprehend any that are longer than 3 syllables. Could you maybe leave your PO Box so I can send you a nice postcard from Austin next year?</p>

<p>Oh snap. ;D</p>

<p>Canadians <3</p>

<p>It sounds like you're doing pretty well; too well to be at a place like uta</p>

<p>i dont get why vyse is still commenting on the UT page when hes an aggie. To me it sounds like he just wishes he could atend UT...</p>
