Among the “top ten reasons for attending N.C. State” from the back of a t-shirt:
Low student to animal ratio
State issued a special parking permit for my Monster truck
I heard they were offering Tractor Pull 101 next semester
There were too many big words in the Carolina application
I really like penitentiary style architecture
Of course, we Tar Heels save the good jokes for Duke, or as we sometimes call it, “The University of New Jersey at Durham”.
Not actually a rivalry joke, but if it’s winter (when the leaves are off the trees) and you stand on the steps of South Building on the UNC campus, look to the Wilson Library on the opposite end of the quad. Directly behind the Library is the Bell Tower, which is just tall enough to form a dunce cap for the dome on top of the library. Legend has it the builders of the Bell Tower did that on purpose. Some sort of dispute with the Wilsons, IIRC.
I heard this one, I believe it would notmally be told by a South Carolina Gamecock Alum:
DO you now the story of how Clemson got it’s name? Well it was founded by a guy named Clem and he originally wanted to call it Clem University. His freinds told him that that didn’t sound distinguished enough. After some thought he decided to add the S-O-N at the end. When asked why Clem explained, “It stands for citizenship, honor and Knowledge”.
Aggie (Texas A. & M.) jokes abound. Here’s an old fave:
Aggie hitchhiker gets picked up by a man driving a Cadillac. The Aggie closes the door and the driver hits the power locks, which makes the Aggie jump. Just as he starts to relax and enjoy the ride, the driver powers down the windows. More looks of amazement issue from the Aggie. After a few more minutes, he looks around and notices some golf tees between them on the seat.
Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie and the rest of the Texas patriots were passing through College Station on their way to the Alamo, where they planned to take on Santa Anna and the Mexicans.
The local Aggies all begged, “Davy, let us come with you. We’re ready to fight alongside you.”
Davy shook his head, and said, “No, but there IS something you can do for us. It’s important that the Mexicans don’t find out our plans. So, just stay here and act dumb until we come back.”
My university (Trinity College Dublin) has a song about their rivals (University College Dublin) which begins
“I parked my tractor in the Belfield Bar(UCD campus watering hole)”
and the rest isn’t suitable for this forum.
What many tourists visitng our campus don’t realise is that should a virgin every walk beneath the bell in the Campanile, it will ring…hasn’t happened yet.
Student’s don’t walk under it though, because legend has it that if you do you’ll fail your finals.
Where do people get the idea that things aren’t “Suitable for this forum”??? There are no rules about language or obscenities in MPSIMS, the rules are about conduct and flaming. Stop with the coy shit and post the god-damned sheep fucking song already!
In Texas they say that of Oklahoma. 'Course, I just look at them and remind them: 65-13, and 77-0. It would’ve been over a hundred, but in the fourth quarter OU decided to let damn near anyone with a red shirt on play.
On the other hand, Oklahoma did steal most of its good players from Texas, but…
the Aggies just suck. Can you really blame the players for wanting to go to a decent school?
