So a consultant gave me condolences today about the football game. She was not an aggie but aggies were in the room. I said "what football game? I saw one team playing football and I don't know what the hell my team was doing."
One of my friends (a Georgia grad) texted me to try and talk me off the ledge. She stopped after two texts because she knew it was hopeless. My sister just texted me today and said she knew better than to try and talk to me before now.
Aggie griefing is comedic relief for me. I turn it into a "well you know what it's like" conversation and that usually gets them to reevaluate their entire life choices.
