Looks like he said "Sawemoff". Did I mention anything about "break em off"?

Sorry, that one had been added since I looked. . . . I assumed you were talking about the "BreakEmOff" mentioned above.

Either figure you want to use to describe it, I hope that's what we're planning to do.

I think A&M has forgotten about good old UT. UT has fallen behind the Aggies and I keep waiting for all those UT fans that said A&M would fail in the SEC to step up and eat crow. Not an Aggie fan but like them much more than UT.

You'll be waiting a long time. Those same UT fans will now tell you how overrated the SEC is, how Manziel's departure will lead to aTm falling apart (no, for real this time...promise) and that they were one 20 point ass-Whoopin against Baylor away from a Big XII title.

Speaking of which. Since most of A&M's (penis envy) fight song has to do with Texas, are they thinking about changing some of the words?

I hear they're adding a caw to it.

They are welcome to it. Historically they have weathered ridicule much better than us. Who else could have a joke book published about them and then still grow in popularity through the years.

No. The song that you are referring to is not the fight song.

It's not A fight song. According to Wiki

"The Aggie War Hymn is the war hymn of Texas A&M University; officially, the school does not have a fight song."

But to the casual observer, it certainly walks (marches) like a duck and quacks like a duck.

AND (prompting my needling question) there is more reference to Texas in the "War Hymn" than there is to A&M,

Hullabaloo, Caneck, Caneck

Hullabaloo, Caneck, Caneck

Good bye to Texas University

So long to the orange and the white

Good luck to dear old Texas Aggies

They are the boys who show the real old fight

'the eyes of Texas are upon you'

That is the song they sing so well

Sounds like Hell!

So goodbye to Texas University

We're gonna beat you all to Chigaroogarem

Chigaroogarem

Rough, Tough, real stuff Texas A&M

So Good bye to texas university

So long to the orange and the white

Good luck to dear old Texas Aggies

They are the boys who show the real old fight

'the eyes of Texas are upon you'

That is the song they sing so well

Sounds Like Hell

So good bye to Texas University...

We're gonna beat you all to

Chigaroogarem

Chigaroogarem

Saw varsity's horns off

Saw varsity's horns off

Saw varsity's horns off

Short! A!

Varsity's horns are sawed off

Varsity's horns are sawed off

Varsity's horns are sawed off

Short! A!

And when there is reference to the Aggies, it sounds like it's coming from a neutral observer.

"Good Luck to dear old Texas Aggies". Shouldn't it say "Good Luck to our dear old Texas Aggies"?

"They are the boys that show the real old fight" Shouldn't this say "We are the boys that show the real old fight."

I shouldn't needle A&M graduates about their school traditions. At least they have them and honor them. But as a former supervisor of mine observed after we returned from a staffing where I made a few unwelcome (but true) comments... "you just love to poke at the rattlesnakes don't you?"

Why does that matter? They both show off their rivalry in the fight song. A lot of Longhorns act like they don't care about the Aggies, just the Sooners. But the Longhorns have the arrogance that has created the situation they are in right now. The Aggies are an easy group to laugh at or to draw offsides, but they also have created for them quite a nice place for the future with the SEC. IN the end, its doubtful that these teams will play each other in anything in a regular season game for years to come.

Here's where the real comparison they should care about is. In the mock NFL drafts for this year the Aggies are projected to have three players taken in the top 15 if not top 10. The Bevo's? None in the top 30. You can say all day that these things are cyclical and that Texas is historically better, but 18 year olds aren't real savvy with history. Right now, TODAY, Kevin Sumlin can walk into a living room and tell a kid "watch the NFL draft and tell me where you think your prospects are better...oh yeah, and we play in the SEC".

      A personal fav: It was more "how" they lost. As other posters have commented, the offense has no flow, no purpose and zero situational awareness. The whole thing looks like a discombobulated goat rodeo, and I watched the second half of the second half, which was light years better than the first. They scored 3 baskets and 14 points in the first half. More turnovers than made baskets. That is next-level incompetence, and I can't believe all these players suddenly forgot how to play basketball at a high level. ...also, the obligatory "I was a 30+ year season ticket holder until I saw this mess" statement by a frustrated fan. Ever read that before?

      Come March, let's see who is dancing. Maybe some of these Gophers will come above ground and support us since they will probably be watching.

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Watched the game on Youtube last night. Couple of thoughts/observations. 1. What is the purpose of the raised court? I think Vandy has one as well. Seems like it poses an injury threat to the players. 2. Man, we missed a lot of open shots. 3. Our defense completely took them out of their game. If we can play that D and find our offense, then this team will be tough to beat. 4. Big 10 refs suck. 5. I know many on here are critical of him, but Sissoko's growth has been fun to watch. 6. Thank goodness we have Walker. What a leader and calming presence for our team. Love his game.
