So did they actually win a game in the NIT that season? Either way pathetic.

had to look it up. 94 was a 0-1 in the NIT, 87 was an 0-1 in the NCAAs.

whoop!

 

[Capn Hook]

Not as bad as the year they showed their Spring game as a win.

Participation ribbons aggie style: A ribbon for you... a ribbon me... everyone wins can't you see.

If you want to see just how far aggy reaches to try to create a veneer of importance, just look at the CMOH recipients they claim as aggys. Horace Carswell went to aggy for his freshman year and transferred to TCU, graduating in 1939. We was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in 1944. The aggys have him in their memorial center as TAMU, Class of '38.

I could go on. Most of the CMOH recipients they claim have only a tangential association to tamu but the ags claim them as being aggys and crow about how those individuals show what a great military history they have.

I posted this on another site when a recruit (I think it was Keke) was talking about aggy traditions:

Texas has one and only one tradition, winning. All the rest are trappings.

All aggy has are trappings.

This is.........disturbing.

You know ... if you think about it, it is just Aggy.  The only way that they can get away with their weird cult is because they are out there in the middle of the woods.  I did an architectural survey of College Station one summer with regards to disaster relief for the Division of Emergency Management of the Texas Department of Public Safety, a long time ago, in a land far away - namely, College Station.  You ought to go over there and drive around amongst the animal facilities to the west of the campus.  There are all kinds of warning signs telling you that the llamas, for example, are dangerous and just might kill you - and my understanding is that if you are not careful, they just might do that.  Yet you can drive right up, park, and walk through the buildings back to the pens that hold the killer llamas, and yet you could open all the gates and let all of the killer llamas loose if you so desired.  There is nobody home and all of the doors and gates are unlocked.  No wonder all of their dogs are dead.  The killer llamas got'em!  So, what does that make you think regarding their ability to re-cogitate who they played when, and who they might or might not have beaten?  Just thought that you might want to know.

A company analyzes Tweets to project average state IQs.
The SEC West does not fare well
 
Bottom of the Barrel

"Of the five states that ranked the lowest in grade-level reading ability in our analysis of tweets, four of them also ranked in the top six of worst-educated states in 2011, with Mississippi at No. 2, Arkansas at No. 3, Louisiana at No. 5, and Alabama at No. 6.
 
With a grade-level reading score of 4.25, Louisiana came in last for us, despite the Big Easy state achieving a score on the high end of average (with a C+ grade) and ranking No. 15 in Education Week’s 2013 annual “Quality Counts†report card."

Its "disturbing" that the more I read about those fools (and I try not to having worked that area for a couple years), the more I find out just how brain damaged they are.  Someone actually put time and money into this stupidity. The thing about stopping people from eating or studying to say a bunch of dumb*** chants about us is lunacy.

To your other point. Yeah....still that way. Isn't that the most ignorant thing?

I went to A&M in the summer before my senior year in high school for a journalism conference.  I am not putting them down just because they are Aggies, I got out of there as quick as I possibly could. It was scary for a sixteen year old.   My father and brother were military and both wanted me to go there.  I told them that they just did not understand.  The whole thing about them being dishonest about who they were was evident, even to me as a then sixteen year old.  It just seemed peculiar. Institutional dishonesty was a difficult issue for me at that age. I guess ignorance is as ignorance does.
