NO MORE SWAGGIES!

This is embarrassing to anyone who embraces the culture of Texas A&M...   or being Texan in general.  Since it's first class was held, Texas A&M has been labeled as a country kid school, whether the label was meant to be a diss or a compliment.  And when one walks up Northgate on a Friday night and takes a peek into the Dry Bean Salloon or the Dixie Chicken, it is apparent that the culture will stay that way.

And then you get this guy Lawrence Knox who
(A) Didn't get the memo that Robert Earl Keen is cooler than Jay Z in Aggieland
(B) Thinks A&M will dominate (by 70 points per game) in the SEC
(C) Allowed a dude in sweatpants to dance in his rap video in a dance studio



The video mentions Visor Guy, Saw 'Em Off, Tech women, and pizza, but drastically fails to capture what Texas A&M is REALLY about.  But to give credit where credit is due, the little cooler scooter was awesome.

This embarrassment comes only a week after Aggieland Outfitters printed t-shirts with the map of the SEC, excluding Texas and Missouri, and adding North Carolina (which has no SEC schools).  With all due respect to North Carolina, they have the perfect level of vinegar on their pork B-BQ, incredible beaches and the best basketball fans in the world, but they are not in the SEC.

And for the grand finale, Texas A&M Athletic Director Bill Byrne, has put an option on the table to demolish Kyle Field and rebuild on the same spot, or worse, build a new stadium on another end of campus.  It's okay, Bill.  We got rid of a nationally-recognized rivalry with Texas, so why not leave the spot we've played football on since 1905?  A new stadium will be the perfect accommodation to the multiple bowl games and winning coaches Byrne has provided for A&M.

But on a positive note, the MSC is back in business.

GIG 'EM FOREVER!
(And we leave you with a song about REAL Aggie Culture)
