Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Yeah, I won’t argue that I abhor the whole horns down when we’re not playing UT. I was hoping that with the separation that it would wane some.  I am always about being Pro-A&M, and not anti-UT. I think a lot of them do it for the camera, like they’re just trying to be over the top. Can’t say that I have paid that much attention when I’m at games, but I don’t really recall people just giving a horns down all the time. I’ve seen other teams do it, like OU, when they’re not playing UT. 

The hullabaloo about trash talking at a yell practice is really puzzling to me. Every yell practice Ive ever been too is the same sophomoric jokes about the other school. I didn’t fully watch this video but I think they said that App state is a bunch of hillbillies and rednecks and such. I’m sure there was a reference about Rock the Good Ag. It’s the same old recycled crap, mostly harmless. 

If you really want to dig up trash talking I’m pretty sure Dan Campbell, current Lions HC, said a bunch of homophobic crap about UT at Bonfire in 1998. Very non-PC, even in the day. 

There have been a lot of traditions that have come out of A&M over the years, so I take the good with the not so good. It’s disputed, but legend has it the name Bevo was born from A&M branding the steer with the score 13-0. 
13-0 got rebranded to BEVO. Or it was a beer in Austin.  Take your pic. 

We saw off the horns, because it’s in the fight song. Yes, it’s over the top, but it’s been that way a long time. UT, coincidentally, mentions A&M in their fight song.  

We invented the hand signals that were popularized in the SWC. Gig em was intended for TCU horned frogs, as is the thumbs up. Horns up etc were popularized along with the rest later. Bonfire was pretty awesome, until it wasn’t. That one still stings. 

It's a complement to a program if every fan base tries to dis it with some symbol.

I've seen some Dawg fans and players do the Gator thing when the Dawgs score, but only in a game against UF.

I think everyone here basically agrees with the importance of recruiting, and that some exceptions exist, and that coaching is also critical.  A team is not likely to win an NC without elite recruiting/players, and at least competent coaching.

I admire the coaches who seem able to do a lot with not much, Wisconsin comes to mind usually, TCU this year, Cincinnati of late, and find the reverse of this also happens.

We got so many good lookin' girls in this state, there's plenty to go around.

But don't move here.

We already live in Texas, doofus.  

Did I ever mention what I'd do if I owned Hell and Texas?
