Ok, my new mission in life is to ensure that no one is deprived of a real education due to the fact that they have to go to Texas A&M. I’m thankful that I was able to resist their brainwashings and was able to escape to the beautiful Miami University. (in Oxford OH, NOT University of Miami in FL) However countless college students are still in bondage at that hell hole and are having their education raped. Why this school still exsists is beyond me. Please, if you are considering going to college, and you are planning in majoring in something other than felching sheep, don’t go to A&M.
I can already feel the hate growing for you my friend. Being a University of Texas booster I do understand your statements, but your are about to be blasted by every Aggie on the board.
::gets a mop and bucket to clean the blood up::
Thankfully I thought of this before hand and realized that aggies probably are too busy drinking beer at Pixi Chicken hole in the wall bar and “experimenting” on cows.
Have you lost your marbles?
I’m a UT guy myself (as if the user name didn’t give that away :rolleyes:)
I’m gonna jump in and defend A&M. They have the best vet school for several states around, especially for large animal vets. Their engineering school is pretty darn good (I’ve had the pleasure of working for and with several Aggie Engineers). One surprising fact is that their Philosophy department is held in much higher regard than that of UT (surprising 'cause I thought UT was THE public school in Texas for Lib Arts).
Besides, you can’t major in sheep felching at A&M. Everyone knows that is just for fun :D.
Alright pal, if you’re going to insult me, my family and most of my friends, at least have the balls to say WHY you find Texas A&M so awful! Aside from being semi-coherent and obsessed with bestiality, just what is your problem?
Ok, well to begin with, you just stated one of my many problems with that school. Why is that my friend in Texas knew the aggie fight song before he knew the pledge? Why is it that I find kids going to that school just because “Well, my mom and dad went there, and their parents went there, and their parents went there…etc.” “Well, why do YOU want to go there?” “Umm, I don’t know.” Be able to choose your own college. Don’t go just because daddy wants you to.
Next, I could go forever and ever about all the tradition crap. Don’t walk on the grass, stand at the football games, if your a freshman say this, if your a senior wear these boots, if your in this building no hats, if we’re at this event no talking, wear this color to every football game, Number 12 is God, the corps is amazing, blah blah blah. Aggie spirit my ass. You go to college to learn, not follow some damn traditions. I’ve seen some of my older friends go from really cool guys to total drunken morons after spending one semseter in the corps.
Which brings me to the corps. Just because your head is shaved, and you can yell really loud and march in a straight line doesn’t make you hot. FTR, I learned how to play follow the leader in pre-school. Having been in band since about 4th grade, and drummajor for our HS marching band for 2 years I can tell you that it takes no skill to be able to do that crap. It looks like ass and it sounds like ass. Some of those people dont know a tuba from their asshole. People laugh when you use the word A&M and music in the same sentence.
Furthermore, not everyone likes it there. So stop telling everyone else that everyone does. I don’t want to hear howdy from you little cow rapers. Not everyone that goes there is the nicest person on the planet, so this wanna-be southern hospitality howdy bullshit needs to stop. Why must you plaster your banal little logo everywhere. Everytime I see that monstrosity I wanna puke, and unfortunatly it’s everywhere, even out of college station. I swear I’m going to become the official 2% club president. That club in itself bugs me. Why do you guys feel it is important to set-up a club for people who don’t have the “aggie spirit”? Not everyone that goes to college their likes it, and just because some people are unhappy doesn’t mean that they’re wrong and should be put in their own special little club. Yes, I’ll give A&M the fact that they do have a good AG. program, but if someone moves to Texas to go to that school so they can become a vet, why must they be subjected to all this Texas pride, yee-haw, shit. Get your head out of your ass and realize that not everyone likes that.
Next we come to the adminstration. Lets see, hmm application was sent in for early-admission on time. But was I counted for early-admission? NO!? Why? I don’t know, probably cuz they couldn’t find my stuff. Did I still get in, yes, but wait…we’ve run out of room in housing oh well sorry. You can go to an extention campus though and then in a year we’ll have room for you. We have to make room for all the Top 10% students ya know. Ok, top 10%? Lets compare my HS someone elses. Lets pick ohhhh Santa Fe. My GPA would’ve put me about in the top 5% at that school, however at my school I wasn’t even top 10. A 94 gpa…plus drummajor, jazz band, UIL computer science winner blah blah blah. But BillyBob over in Santa Fe or somewhere else sits on his ass, gets an 87 GPA and makes the top 10%. WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK IS SMARTER?! The top 10% rule is another one of Bush’s fucked up plans that he thought up while sniffing crack and getting head from his sister. Furthermore, my girlfriend WAS in the top 10%, was also a drummajor, won HOSEA competitions and yet, they didn’t have room for her. The law said she was supposed to get in. Make room for her. She could’ve sued their stupid asses.
I was lucky enough to get out of that hell hole in 1 sems. and now that I’m attending a real college I can tell you that A&M is a waste of money. You might as well save yourself the tution, because as soon as you get out of college the only words you’re going to speaking are: “Would you like to super-size that” or “$50 for a hand-job, $75 for a blow-job.”
[Dennis Miller] "Of course that’s just my opinion, I could be wrong.[/Dennis Miller]
Damn, cykrider, them grapes sure are sour.
Did I sum it up accurately?
-
Ckyrider strives to go to Texas A&M.
-
Ckyrider, due to clerical error, doesn’t get to Texas A&M.
-
Ckyrider then thinks anything even remotely associated with Texas A&M is stupid, laughable, foolish, disgusting, despicable.
Sour grapes? This case of 'em has gotta be around 1.0 on the pH scale.
(FTR, I’ve got no axe to grind. Never had anything to do with any Texas college. Haven’t been within the state’s borders in nearly thirty years. I can, however, recognize the cries of a jilted lover. :rolleyes: )
Actually your wrong. And frankly I could careless what you guys think. I wasn’t the only one that went through this. Some people actually got into the main campus and are leaving that school for similar reasons. I’m glad that they didn’t have room for me there, I probably would’ve shot myself. It’s apparent from my post that 10% and administration aren’t the only problems I have with that school. It’s just one of them. And honestly I could careless what you guys think about me. It’s not about me, it’s about that school. I’m merely trying to help people realize the crap they’re going to have to put up with if they go to that school. And FTR I passed the AP english test my junior year. It’s kind of hard to concentrate on typing when your a.)venting b.)when your girlfriend’s life is being fucked up by this school for the 2nd semester and she can’t get out.
Dear God. Do you mean that, out of an incoming class of several thousand students, a few people actually don’t like the place?
I know what you mean. I’m glad Rice waitlisted me. That school sucks anyway. Houston sucks, and what kind of a school has an owl for a mascot? I probably would’ve jumped in front of a car or something after a couple of weeks there.
Last I checked Texas didn’t have mandatory college enrollment policies.
As my respect for the AP program continues its downward spiral…
The AP math program’s apparently a real gem, too. :rolleyes:
And yet you post, and post, and post…
SHUT UP ALREADY!!
Then, Mr. Genius, you should know that in this sentence: “Actually your wrong.” the contraction you were looking for is you’re.
And spare me the “hard to concentrate” bullshit. If you are going to complain about the stupidity of others, the least you could do is try to write a coherent sentence.
:rolleyes:
Hey. cykrider…
The Enter key is your friend. Repeat after me… the Enter key is your friend.
Use it more often. Your rantings will look less and less like the silly gibberings of a bitter little boy.
um, i thought the OP wuz pretty damn hysterical, and then when cykrider confessed that he had attended said institution, it wuz even funnier, but my question is:
do they really do all those things at a&m? (sheep felching aside) wow! that is blowing my mind! damn, makes umass, in reality a huge holding pen for semi-psychotic drunken post adolescent fuckbrains, seems almost civilized. dont tell me, thats where george w went to school. joke, people! just a joke! (actually, the fact he attended yale and harvard is even more of a joke)
The single road that leads from Quito, Ecuador to the Amazon basin in the eastern part of the country passes over the crest of the Andes. When I traveled the route, back in the mid-'80’s, it was a hair-raising ride, dirt all the way, over a 13,000 foot pass, down hairpin turns, no guardrails, etc. About halfway down the mountains, there was a stone bridge over a small ravine, built for a bypass that was never completed. The bridge had no approaches to it; it just jutted up into the air, with enormous gaps between the ends and the nearest bits of road. Spray-painted in two-foot high day-glo letters at the base of the bridge was the following legend:
BUILT BY AGGIES
True story…
Normally I would jump on any Aggie-bashing bandwagon (even though many of my best friends went there). You see, I’m in Texas, a UT alum, and a football fan to boot. But, unfortunately, cykrider, the unintelligible dreck you’ve posted so far makes me want to get as far away from this thread as possible.
Anyway, that being said,
Poor Aggies.
We’ve got the #5 recruiting class in the country (top 5 for the last three years) and we whooped your ass so hard this year it was more maroon than your brain. Chris Sims is passing for 400 yards on your asses come this Thanksgiving and we’ll have a 200 yard rushing game led by true freshman Cedric Benson. You won’t have seen an ass-banging like that since the last time the Corps ran out of eligible sheep.
bows, with a flourish
Couldn’t help myself in the end.
Cykrider: Christ, they’re letting just anybody into AP classes these days, aren’t they?
Let me take one short qoute out of your ranting and take a good look at it. Same one Sapphire Bullet seized on:
“Actually your wrong. And frankly I could careless what you guys think.”
Let’s see: in these two sentences, you make one error of punctuation, two errors in spelling, a rather trivial formating error, an unwarranted assumption, and one blatant lie. You also misuse a common phrase.
First, you ought to have a comma after “Actually.” Second, figure out the difference between “your” and “you’re.” It is also customary to include TWO spaces between sentences, but this, as I said, is trivial. Your (note usage) fourth and fifth errors occur on the same word: “careless.” Careless usually means “clumsy” or “absentminded.” In this context, this word makes no sense. What you meant to say was, “I could CARE LESS what you guys think.” However, this still makes no sense, since the proper phrase is “I COULDN’T care less what you guys think.” The idea being, you absolutely do not care at all. If you COULD care less, then you are in some measure concerned what “we guys” think. This brings us to your (note usage) sixth error, where you assume everone reading, posting, and criticizing you is a male. We aren’t all “guys” out here. Finally, you’re (note usage) lying through your (note usage) teeth when you say you don’t care what we think. If you didn’t care, you would not have posted your (note usage) opinion to a public message board. You manifestly do care what people think, you just can’t handle it when people don’t agree with you. Thus, we are treated to more and more of your (note usage) infantile whining. Here endeth the lesson.
If you’re going to claim any sort of expertise in the English language, it would behoove you to show more mastery of the it than an illiterate Afghani goat-herd.
Being an instructor in the A&M system, I’d have to unfortunately agree with some of the points made in the OP.
A&M is great for some academic disciplines, particularly agriculture, science and business. However their attitude towards the Arts bites big time. The attitude of the administration is that “You don’t teach art, you buy it!” This concept prevails throughout the entire system. The only fine arts groups that get real money for their departments are the bands. After all, you have to have a marching band at the football games.
Until this attitude changes, the A&M system will never be a true first rate educational expierience.
As a former member of the Rice University Marching Owl Band, and having stood in the center of Kyle Field staring up at the crowd, I would say that A&M has the most…militantly fanatic football fans I’ve ever seen. The atmosphere at their games is somehow different from any other road games the MOB went to - it was the only place that seemed to ooze hostility. I was particularly struck by the dark-tinted glass on the press box windows - from the field, it adds considerably to the ominousness.
That said, it seems that all of the truly ugly halftime incidents occurred at Rice-A&M games that were played in Houston…
The A&M marching band is certainly…different. I enjoy watching them perform, though - it’s refreshing, and they do their style of show quite well.
I respect the place as a school, and don’t buy the crap about how it’s just full of hick idiots whose only form of weekend recreation is raping goats. However, the A&M grads I’ve known do tend to be considerably more pious about their institution than I consider normal or healthy. It can be kind of tiresome to deal with after a while…
