Hockeynut:You're gonna move all the Californians to Austin?
Christi:For those of you non-taxans out there that don't get it...Texas A & M and THE University of Texas in Austin are arch rivals Those aggies are just a bunch of cow farmers
mstevens:1) I knew someone whose daughter was a proud grad of the University of Texas El Paso and referred to the campus in the middle of the state as "UTEP Austin."
2) I made the mistake of wearing my Aggie ring to my graduation from the University of Texas Medical Branch. Some people began singing a bellicose song (I think it was "Texas Bite" or some such) and making satanic-appearing hand signs. The metal of my ring started to heat up dangerously.
3) Even in northern New England some of my patients notice and comment on the incongruity of the A&M and UTMB diplomas hanging side-by-side.
Christi:Hey...that's nothing to be ashamed of! As much as I love the fun of the rivalry between A & M and Texas...I will totally acknowledge that both are very fine schools! Each have their own advantages. ACtually my family is even divided.
I remember my freshman year at UT...back when the big game was still on Thanksgiving Day and Bonfire was a HUGE deal. My cousin was a freshman at A & M so I drove to College Station in my ORANGE VW Bug with longhorn stickers all over it. I parked at her dorm since I was there for the party all weekend. I don't think I have to even explain what my poor little car looked like the morning after the game...by the way, Texas beat A & M that year Needless to say that was the LAST time I drove that car to College Station
Brules:I thought the *real* BIG GAME was the Red River Shootout? OU is ready to win another 5 straight starting this year! hehhee
