“The Offseason Bowl”

prestigious yet everyone is invited!

The argument, crystallized, is this:

1. A&M Needs 6 wins to go to a bowl game.
2. After beating UT, they will have 5.
3. After wining thier bowl game, they will have six.
4. Consequently, they will be eligible for a bowl game.

Quite a syllogism.

to some of the Aggies. There are some there who are trying to explain to rebelionel the points made above. He seems oblivious to any argument against his pipedream. Obviously, he has a great future on message boards, as well as in any classes in Logic at A&M.

A couple of things:
1) UT fans, and BON’ers especially, seem to have this belief that Aggies lack any sense of sarcasm. Especially in regards to texags posts. Apparently, anything written on Texags should: a) be taken as the aggie collectives opinion and b) be read straight, with no attempt to sense sarcasm.

2) As previously eluded to, anyone can post on Texags and while BONers would like to argue otherwise, the opinion of the site simply does not come from the university. In fact, a UT fan could register with the site as an aggie, and post such topics as described before (and if you think they don’t have the time, you never went to college). I have never posted on texags and never known another aggie to. Perhaps many of the posts are from 12 year kids or the like. There is no way of knowing.

3) Even assuming that the original poster DOES in fact believe that beating Texas will result in a bowl appearance, the amount of posts afterwords that denounce this possibility highly outnumbers any confirming posts.

Now, all is not lost. I understand that when you get a little drunk after a win you tend to be a little bias with your readings. This is to be expected. Your bias and the ones that will come after you will simply be disregarded by those with reason and shall I say, insight. As much as you would like to believe that the Aggie meltdown will transcend the University’s distinction as an academic institution and that a nuclear meltdown is the only option left in the city, I assure you that Aggies everywhere will continue to hold their heads high. And while we have no “We’re Texas” slogan to define our arrogance, we will continue to pack the stadium and root for our team.
Did you know that this year was the second largest average stadium attendance for a season? I would LOVE to see UT pull that when they go 4-8 with 5 home losses. Honestly, I love this site and “like” UT, but posts like this and mainly the “We’re Texas” arrogance make me glad I didn’t attend the school.

P.S. Happy Thanksgiving, enjoy the win, and enjoy berating my response!
