Biggest Tradition at AM....?

.....Underachieving.

Have a nice life and much fun getting ***-raped way worse than this week-in, week-out.

 

Aggie losses tend to come one of two ways: either they get steamrolled (think 77-0), or they find a spectacular way to collapse at the end.

 

I LIKE DOGS AND RESPECT THAT MANY FEEL SO MUCH LOVE FOR THEM THAT THEY ARE LIKE FAMILY! That being said...

oddest tradition at a&m...positioning the mascots that have passed away in such a way that their eyes are facing the scoreboard so they can see the score during a game.

 

Why would they position them to view their survivors as losers.

 

Hullaballooing?

 

How bout them Cowboys!!!!

 

Overreacting.

 

underachieving is spot on.

 

Helping sheep over the fence

 

Hating everything Texas and choking are tied.

 

1a) running out of time
1b) dude cheerleaders
2) listeaters

 

Lying.

 

Hug a balloon Connecticut, Connecticut.

 

The throwing of senior QBs under the bus.

Tannehill has got to be nervous as a long tailed Tomcat in a room full of rocking chairs.

 

Not understanding why no one else gets their traditions

 

The dogs didn't die, they just ran out of time.

Building Chumpions.

 

Actually the Aggies biggest and most sacred tradition is contempt for "their friends in Austin". We'll see in 10-20 years of SEC play if they evolve from that and can develop a more productive collective mindset.

 

TMT .... good point ... & there's always hope ... but there's always the history behind the inferiority complex

Warped view of reality is perhaps Aggy's greatest tradition of all. Found this story in Ivan Maisel's ESPN article, which provides Bear Bryant's first encounter with this Aggy mindset: Link.

But wait. If the dead dogs can see through the dirt and they are "facing" the scoreboard, how exactly are they positioned? In every funeral I've been to, the deceased is laid to rest on their back. So does "facing" the scoreboard mean on its back with head actually away from it? Because then the dead dog is looking at a pretty low angle through 4 legs and a tail in it's way. Or it it can see through 6 feet of dirt, it can see through its own legs. Or are the dead dogs buried legs down, head up and facing the stadium? Because then the dead dogs only have to see through the casket (wait, is there a casket?) and the aforementioned 6 feet of dirt.

This is going to keep me awake for the next few nights.

 

My guess is that they are buried standing up, facing Pyle, with little periscopes that allow them to see the scoreboard clearly. Otherwise, the whole burial tradition is just an exercise in futility.
