      Kind of a skewed opinion. The issue is that Longhorns don't have to deal with the numerous t-shirt fans giving them crap, all the time. I graduated from A&M and have many friends and colleagues who are Longhorns. We all mess with each other, but all have respect for each other. I have received the most hate from longhorn t-shirt fans who couldn't get into either school. Because of this, we tend to be much more defensive.
      Longhorns would too if there were as many Aggie t-shirt fans giving them a hard time.

    I went to SMU (and Texas Tech for summer school). Several family members (and tons of friends) went to UT and to A&M. When we were kids, we learned early not to bring up this rivalry at family gatherings. We were just being kids, but I noticed it genuinely ticked off the adults who’d been to those schools and were getting along at thanksgiving. I have a cousin who got offered a full scholarship and extra money to go to UT but she turned it down because she thought it would kill her dad who went to A&M. It’s a shame that this football rivalry isn’t happening still. It’s important for Texas
    Edit: after I had my economics degree I was working for an oil company and went back for petroleum engineering. In the Permian Basin. There were students there that summer from every single school that had a petroleum engineering program. I didn’t particularly care about my grades but I was looking for talent. There were two guys from UT and A&M who finished their physics test faster than everyone else in the class and then slept through the rest of the class. They were faster than than the people from Rice, Cal, and MIT. Those guys are bright too. I hope they ended up with a well rounded education. It’s a shame to waste a brilliant mind on over specialization. There are brilliant people at these institutions.

    At the University of Texas: the mascot is "Bevo," a longhorn bull; the fight song is "Texas Fight;" and the hand symbol is the "hook em horns" sign. You can see how all those things have connection. At Texas A & M: the mascot is "Reveile," a collie dog; the fight song is "Hot Time in the Town Tonight;" and the hand symbol is the "gig em" sign. Only to Aggies, do these somehow have connection.

    • @fireflygaming8764
      @fireflygaming8764 2 года назад +1

      That is not where the connection lies. TAMU, then called A.M.C, was initially founded in 1876. While Texas University was founded in 1883, we were initially supposed to be apart of the University of Texas System, but we were never enveloped into it for one reason or another. Then it was deemed there wasn't room for two universities in Texas, and obviously the one that wasn't just a military school got to stick around. Oddly it was the fact that A.M.C was a military school, and that parents wanted their boys to act like our university president at the time, Sully, that we got to stick around. This is where all those crazy/fun/mildly depressing traditions started.
      Tl:Dr: The reason why Aggies are obsessed with Texas University is that a long time. TAMU was almost shut down, and the military school environment kept those flames burning untill it was cemented into the school's culture.
      Note: Most of the things that make us look off-putting and weird is due to the Corp of Cadets.

      @@Lurkerrr928 Politics... The tu endowment is derived from the PUF (Public University Fund). This is money from oil and mineral income in the state of Texas. This money used to go 100% to tu because of politics. A&M fought against it because it is the only other flagship university in the state and was able to win, receiving 1/3 of the PUF. That is why A&M's endowment is so large but not as large as tu's. A little research wouldn't hurt you...
      Also, ranking is arbitrary and fairly meaningless, unless you are at a top 10 school. Some of the metrics they use are ridiculous and are heavily biased towards liberal leaning institutions. This is why schools on the west coast and northeast are always ranked so much higher than everyone else. Look at rankings for average mid-career salary or best investment when looking at how much you spend versus how much you can expect to make in the real world. How do they rank on employment, 6 months after graduation? These are the metrics that matter. The reason we go to college is to prepare ourselves for a career. Everything else is just made up nonsense.
      If you are looking at a career in the state of Texas, an A&M degree is weighted just as much as a degree from tu by any employer. In fact, A&M has a better graduate network than tu, which actually makes it easier to find great employment after school. We are taught from our first week at A&M that Aggies hire Aggies and Aggies help Aggies. I work in business to business IT sales in Houston and have over 100 customers that range in various business verticals. When it comes to engineering firms, I deal with far more decision makers who are Aggies than that of any other school. I have actually had business owners tell me they like hiring Aggies over tu grads because Aggies don't have an over inflated ego like many longhorns, and tend to not mind working harder to pay their dues. Granted, that is a generalization, but it is first hand experience I have, in the real world; not a fantasy world of reading Newsweek's articles or what some Ivy league grad journalist in New York thinks about my school, city, or state when he/she has never been south of Tennessee.

      @@Lurkerrr928 And yet, look at your reply, versus mine. You say "I'm not trying to be condescending", yet you consistently use the phrase "aggy", which is a purposefully condescending thing to say.
      You're either being purposefully obtuse or you don't understand what you are typing (lack of reading comprehension?).
      As for the alumni network, I had friends who actually went to tu who said that even their academic advisors admitted the Aggie Network was superior to their alumni network. To ignore that or argue that is insanity of the highest level. Aggies go out of their way to help other Aggies. (3) of the interviews I had immediately out of college were arranged by hiring managers I called through the Aggie network.
      Tell me, why is tu academically better? Quantify that. I gave specific examples I encounter in the real world, which is "reality". You are simply spouting something you read in an article written by a journalist with an agenda. Are the books you read at tu harder to understand? Are the tests more difficult? Do they teach a secret form of engineering and math that no one else teaches?
      Per PayScale.com. Highest mid career salaries by public institutions... don't see the longhorns in the top 25 but I do see A&M: www.payscale.com/college-salary-report/best-schools-by-type/bachelors/public-schools
      Per Forbes. A&M at 18 and tu at 25: www.forbes.com/sites/carolinesimon/2017/08/02/25-top-public-colleges-with-the-highest-earning-graduates/?sh=3654e49f23e0
      Per WSJ: online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/info-Salaries_for_Colleges_by_Type-sort.html
      But sure, because some Ivy league grad determines tu to be academically superior, we should all just accept it. There are world class educators at both schools, but all the rankings are irrelevant when compared to dollars and cents. Argue all you want. Puff out your chest and say "I graduated from UT, dammit, so I am better than everyone else". I will quietly collect my great paycheck and continue to succeed, spouting facts instead of feelings. This epitomizes the difference between tu and A&M. One is an elitist school that spouts the same condescending bs that you typed in your response, with no substance. The other school helped teach me to think analytically and stick to hard facts and truths instead of feelings.
