Yesterday we had an Aggie over to the house (unbeknownst to me). She was very nice and we started talking sports, and the conversation drifted into the draft. She opened her big mouth and said,"we are all laughing at Colt McCoy being drafted at #85. I guess you can figure out I'm an Aggie".I guess she did not see the giant Longhorn right by my front door. Hey, but nobody said aggies were real quick on the uptake.I couldn't help myselfso I responded,"how many aggies got taken in the first 3 rounds?" I already knew: 0 Ags in the 1st 4 rounds 6 Horns in the 1st 4 rounds
Hmm, I can only imagine what the list of things that we could be laughing at them about would look like...if only we had the interest or inclination to compile one. Very classy as usual of Ags who resort to making fun of Colt as a desperate attempt to get our attention.
Example that aggy really has nothing to talk about.... they hate UT more than they love their own school or sports teams.
Uh, Ma'am, he quarterbacked the Horns year before last to their biggest win over A. & M. since century before last and put more than 400 yards of offense on y'all last year. Where does that leave your jealous maroon ***? Uh, no offense, of course.
Last weekend I drank beer with several aggies who are now Texas high school football coaches. To a man, they agreed that Cleveland was lucky to get Colt w/ the 85th pick. Good move for the Browns. Holmgren knows what he's doing.
Of course, she'll never eat crow when Colt does some good things in the NFL or beyond (i.e. coaching, etc.).
I've found you can have intelligent conversations with a few Aggies, but far too many of them are mouthbreathers. Your energy would be better spent picking lint out of your bellybutton, or organizing your sock drawer. Ask your friend how the Aggies did in this year's draft, and listen for the sound of the crickets chirping. Hell, Colt was even drafted higher this year (3rd round) than McGee last year (4th round). Not bad for the kid they like to call "Cart" eh?
The illustrious history of A&M QB's in the NFL draft. 1. Stephen McGee drafted in the 4th round, number 101 overall. 2. Reggie "Real Deal" McNeal drafted as a wide receiver in the 6th round, 193 overall in 2006. 3. Bucky Richardson drafted in 8th round, 220 overall in 1992. 4. Ed Hargett drafted in the 16th round, 397 overall in 1969. Who's laughing now? More importantly, 1 national championships for A&M in 1939 (split with USC) compared to 4 for UT. Sorry, made up polls from pre WWII that are not recognized by the NCAA don't count. If that were the case, UT would have 16. This should be used to squash any further ridiculous comments from A&M peanut gallery until proven otherwise.
Wadster? Please tell me you just brain farted questioning NebLHAB. EVERYBODY knows that Animal House spoof of Belushi's. At least I thought everybody did. Oh... aggys. They're not worth the time or energy. Only one response is ever worthwhile when coming in contact with one, "I'm sorry. Are you relevant? Thought not."

"I've found you can have intelligent conversations with a few Aggies, but far too many of them are mouthbreathers." until the point that anything aggy (sports related) comes up and then all sense of rationality is gone from that point forward in the conversation. I have spoken with some sharp aggy engineers until the focus is shifted from engineering to aggy football, then I have to excuse my self to get my hipwaders on!
I think that's the thing with irrational aggy (yes, I know, redundant). You can be having a perfectly nice conversation, meeting, meal, or whatever with aggy until sports comes up, which it inevitably does. Then the focus shifts from perfectly nice talk to "t-sips suck because your level of success isn't quite what you wanted it to be, due to all of your 2nd place finishes in national championships" or something along those lines. If that's how you get your shits and giggles, by hiding your sports shame behind the hugely admired and profitable near-successes of your rival, then you are aggy. And it's even worse with chicks, because they're already stupid about sports.
