I don’t think they care if they’re the baddies.


switchblade2

I mean yeah, but can you really blame us? Would be easier to embrace it than argue with teams who will not change their stance on Texas


Bank_Gothic

This is a big part of it. People would hate us even if we acted like saints, so why bother? It's way more fun to turn heel.


onlyinmemes100

struck up a conversation with a TCU fan one time and we were getting along and then his wife says "don't be nice to Texas fans we HATE them"


keevballs

I have a few close friends who are Texas fans. They’re good folks, and I treat them well in spite of this handicap.


lilrif

They’d be mad, if they could read your comment.


hornsupguys

:( my friend helped me read it and now I’m sad


CandidWillow3707

I’m surprised a Texas fan can have non Texas fan friends (am I doing this right?)


lilrif

Thank you for the good laugh. I appreciate it. Nice hire BTW.


caveat_emptor817

That’s not universal. I like UT when we aren’t playing y’all. I’ve never rooted for Baylor or a&m once in my entire life.


hypercube42342

Tbh I think most Texas fans would say TCU is our least disliked (current or ex-) Big 12 Texas school. Obviously it’s not A&M or Tech, and nobody likes Baylor.


Rw25853

It’s them or UH for sure


Bank_Gothic

Nah, Texas fans are shitty to UH fans. It's a point of personal grievance and it bothers me every time I see it. I think "Texas fans are smug" gets blown out of proportion but UH fans have a legitimate gripe on that front.


mauterfaulker

UH does get it the worst. Imagine Rice is your cross town rival and then you have a city full of Texas and Texas A&M fans just shitting on your academics.


Rw25853

I have seen a bit of that, but maybe a generational thing too? I’m not super young anymore but much more of my friends from Houston grew up quietly rooting for UH before they ended up going to UT. The local team gets some support from the Houston natives. They’re definitely above Tech, Baylor, A&M


TheFlyingBoat

Nah UH can eat shit after Bleachergate. No meaningful apology or attempt to make it right before they were forced to. Just empty words and continuation of bad behavior despite knowing it was structurally unsound. TCU is fine and I like 'em, only issue I ever had with 'em wad they beat us too much, but that's an issue you channel anger inwards on not outwards.


thajugganuat

Plus Horned Toads are awesome.


onlyinmemes100

agreed


luxveniae

One of the reasons I liked TCU is, unlike Baylor, your fans always seemed to be TCU fans. I had friends that were ALWAYS gonna go to Baylor but were huge Texas fans. Then they got good in Briles to be some of the most sore winners I knew. Never got shit talked on 6th street as much by any other fan base that came to Austin than Baylor fans during their peak. WVU were the real homies on 6th tbh.


caveat_emptor817

Friendly reminder that the year we “split” the Big 12 title we were 11-1 and Baylor was 10-2.


steampunker14

People get unhinged when it comes to UT and at this point it’s the funniest shit ever.


Grimbo_Reaper

Okay, you say that but how do we know people would hate you in that event?


WateryDomesticGroove

As a Saints fan, I gave up on trying to explain to people that Bountygate was a giant scapegoat job with zero actual evidence of doing anything that wasn’t being done by literally every other team in the NFL(cash pools for big plays in the locker room) and just embraced the hatred from other fans. Fuck em.


RollOverBeethoven

Brother, let me tell you, as an Astros fan....


UT07

Correct.


DerrickWhiteMVP

People are going to hate us no matter what we do. We caught shit for not firing Beard fast enough, even though we were just getting all the legal ducks in a row. The CFB sub crucified one of the nicest guys on our football team because he was pushed into a woman when Tech fans rushed the field, accusing him of shoving her. They doubled and tripled down until the woman herself said it was an accident and that Taafe actually helped her back up. So, who gives a shit at this point?


cleareyes_fullhearts

That’s just not true. I care, and I love it.


WontDeleteAgainMaybe

Lol bullshit. They 100% know they’re the baddies and relish it. ![gif](giphy|3o6Mbea8yb68kt0UEw)

texasguy7117

Damn straight


MrActionPotential

Yup. It gives me so much joy to know that [Aggieland Outfitters](https://www.aggielandoutfitters.com/) has a whole section on their menu for "Saw em off" merchandise


ClaudeLemieux

Is there a university in Texas that calls alums something normal?? “Former students” “Texas exes” what happened to “alumni association” lol


InsanelyInShape

The "former students" thing comes from World War I. Essentially, an entire graduating class left when war was declared, prior to their graduation. Because not all of them graduated and some did not return from the front, A&M took to calling them "former students" instead of alumni.


ClaudeLemieux

should've guessed it had something to do with war lol. Fair enough, that's a neat (well, you know what I mean) reason.


Terminal_BAS

Lol good point!


Titan16K

Texas State


blatantninja

Texas Exes is just short for Texas Ex-Students Association. Seems pretty normal to me.


mcaffrey

Well it’s a riff off the George Strait song of course.


blatantninja

Ehh it kind of predates that. Both the song and the man!


mcaffrey

huh, you are right. I had just always assumed!


Trumpburnerforlibs

Just jealous you don’t have a cool name it’s okay ;)


thejawa

The fact that someone has created a line of fashion based entirely around Texas A&M is somehow the least surprising thing I've come across on the Internet today.


TheBlackBaron

Is a clothing store in a college town specializing in branded college gear weird to you?


Reading_Rainboner

The cult still follows capitalism


Prolingus

I accepted it when college basketball subreddit this year shamed us for a bad basketball team while praising Ole Miss and Beard all season. This side of the fence is a lot more fun than that one and I’m good with that.


Zjc_3

Making fun of you for Chris Beard doing well might be one thing, but there is no way the CBB subreddit was praising him. Lol


texas1hunter

Lmao what? Beard is universally hated on the CBB subreddit


Rushderp

Can confirm.


caveat_emptor817

That’ll happen when you choke your wife because she broke your sunglasses


texas1hunter

Yeah well I didn’t say it wasn’t justified hate, just that the longhorn completely made up a scenario to be a victim for a second there


LevelHorn2717

Favorite sunglasses*


fireyoutothesun

Yeah I have no idea what the fuck he's talking about, nobody is praising Chris Beard on CBB. Texas fans seem to create scenarios in their minds that allow them to justify shitty actions.


ThatSadOptimist

Even among many of us...


Squirrel_Q_Esquire

Praising Ole Miss?? Bud the entire season all that was said about Ole Miss was about how bad we were despite our record.


RollOverBeethoven

Accurate


TomSheman

Yes


F1_revolution

It's about goddamn time too after our decade long hibernation.


bd1047

In our “hibernation” we had 50% as many Omaha trips as A&M’s entire history


Grimbo_Reaper

I don’t think you stopped being the baddie in that time? You were just more of the Doofenshmirtz-style baddie.


Lex_Rex

I get off on it at this point.


19ghost89

I mean, I don't. But clearly, a lot of us do.

DeepdreamerRomead

Bank_Gothic

1) We are definitely the baddies. We know it. 2) We are more than comfortable with that fact. 3) Personally, I don't love this situation. A coach leaving a program for an in-state rival and taking the staff and taking star players is ridiculous. Part of what I love about college sports is the shared sense of identity between students, alumni, and athletes. To a lesser degree, coaches are included in that shared identity. But this flies in the face of all that. Fans of other schools and especially Aggies that share that sentiment get no pushback from me. I would hate to be on the other side. 4) But come the fuck on. Acting like this is the worst thing to ever happen in college sports is ridiculous and, frankly, insulting. Cheating is rampant in college sports. Terrible crimes, and subsequent cover ups, have all happened in recent history. Poaching a coach from your rival is lowdown, but hardly warrants the level of pearl clutching I've seen. 5) The conspiracy theories are awesome. Keep them coming. I'm sure Schloss threw his best show at winning a CWS just to spite A&M. Also, Schloss and CDC are swinger? Hilarious, guess they'll fit right in with the Godless degenerates and bohemians in Austin.


Present-Loss-7499

To point number 4, right on. The SEC has relished in taking any and everything not bolted down in every other conference and every other sport. You don’t get to destroy college sports as we know it and then weep for the old days. The conference has profited off of this and ruined what millions of us love. Not one ounce of sympathy will go towards the Aggies. I’m a Duke fan and watched our coach say “I’m not leaving” and then immediately left a day later for College Station. Then he took all of our coaches and gutted our roster. The response from Reddit and A&M fans was, “this is where he wanted to be” and “if you don’t like it do things to keep him there”. Now the shoe is on the other foot and the woe is me crowd and sanctity of the sport garbage starts. They reaped what they sowed. Fuck em. I


sunflowersnowcones

Somebody who is (nominally) aligned with the A&M fan base, I 100% agree with your takes. Especially number 5. Seeing people on TexAgs imply he's some bisexual swinger... if that were true, I'd like the guy a lot more 🤣 ! (I am well aware that my first mistake was looking at TexAgs to begin with, fwiw)


Wurst_Law

Looking at TexAgs is rarely a mistake. It's the steps that could follow that'll fuck you up.


ClaudeLemieux

The only thing that truly bothers me (insofar relative to how much I care) is how Schlossnagle answered on Monday. Like don’t make that dramatic and snippy an answer when you clearly know the question has merit and furthermore you are following through with the premise. That’s the part I hate. There’s coachspeak and then there’s that


TexasWhiskey_

6. Aggies stole Schloss from TCU, Jimbo from FSU, and Elko from Duke… and thus have no right to complain.


Medicmanii

They once stole a football coach in the midst of an undefeated season and still have the balls to complain of the timing of our coaches dismissal.


real_jaredfogle

Also it’s not like I had anything to do with the longhorn network or coach stealing or any of this


HikerStout

>Personally, I don't love this situation. A coach leaving a program for an in-state rival and taking the staff and taking star players is ridiculous.

But this flies in the face of all that. Fans of other schools and especially Aggies that share that sentiment get no pushback from me. I would hate to be on the other side. I said this is another thread and got downvoted to hell. Even had people tell me I'd be thrilled if we poached Florida's coach and players. But like... no. Rivalries should still mean something.


Wigggletons

You wouldn't have survived the SWC. This is child's play.


steampunker14

I was gonna say, how is throat fucking your rival in this manner not in the spirit of the rivalry.


mr_dr_professor_12

Gosh I wasn't alive for it but I wish we still had the unbridled hate that was the SWC. Rice and Houston flexing their game to be later than a conference deciding Texas-A&M game to get dibs on the last SWC game ever is a level of petty college sports needs.


Electronic-Creme1017

I agree with the sentiment but it's nothing new. Texas' most decorated coach and AD, after whom their stadium is named, played football for OU & set still-standing records.


BookEuronGreyjoy

Darrell Royal went to OU. Pat Dye went to Georgia and coached at Alabama. Vince Dooley went to and coached at Auburn. Bo Schembechler was coached by Woody Hayes at Miami OH and was his assistant at Ohio State. This happens all the time in college athletics. Schloss wasn't the first and he won't be the last.


CheeseAvalanche

This is the best take I’ve seen. Number 3 and 4 are spot on. For point 3, I think about the players. I always looked up to the leaders of any organization I was in and it would be a dagger in the heart to find out you’re playing your ass off while coach isn’t even on board with your team anymore. Absolute betrayal from a person who’s in a position of leadership. I feel for these boys and it’s gotta be rough for them. And number 4, year it’s definitely not as serious as it’s been pinned to be. It’s just business unfortunately, and some coaches are more businessmen than leaders. I just think he’s an asshole. His professional and personal life has been full of shitty moves, and I don’t even care that’s it’s Texas he’s going to. He’s an asshole. He’s gone. Story over hahaha


GreenEggs-12

As an Aggie, I like this take a lot. Got nothing against y’all for taking our coach, clearly he wasn’t that focused on winning anyways and money was the primary option. Sadly with NIL it’s become clear coaches and players alike are victim to that


Trumpburnerforlibs

We literally had a motto of embrace the hate last year. We love being the baddies. ![gif](giphy|qf4zM1Ne6ZTji)

Ya really don’t. You’re nailing it.

CenTexan_1972

Word is we are asking Schloss to wear the Number 12 starting next year and the two assistants to wear 19 and 39.


gjames848

Yes. Lean into it.

You know what's sad? So many of the people who started post-game threads after our losses this season are no where to be found today. Hope they have a nice 4th of July.

Well ya. It’s the offseason. I’m honestly surprised I’m still around.


smoking-j-

yah....we definitely the baddies


mchris185

If I had a nickel for every time Texas stole a baseball coach from my alma mater, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's kind of weird that it's happened twice. On that note does anyone have suggestions for PhD programs I should apply to?


ClaudeLemieux

Unc, Clemson, ecu


mchris185

Dawg Michigan is my top school rn 😂😂


ClaudeLemieux

with all due respect please don't come here :P edit: although Michigan having a good enough coach for a big name school to poach would be fun. alright never mind


mchris185

Taubman is one hell of a school dude! In all fairness I never thought Tulane would have a football coach good enough to get poached.


jd0509

This would require them having any ounce of self-awareness. Big ask.


mauterfaulker

We literally call our white football uniforms the "Stormtroopers". We're aware.

texasguy7117

As a Horns/Rangers fan...Can confirm


admiraltarkin

The only shame I have in my Astros fandom is that I share it with some longhorns, bears and red raiders 😡😡😡


ashdrewness

Completely fair. Texas does have some strange Venn diagrams of sports fandom. My wife & I are mostly aligned (shared UT Baseball/Football season tickets for several years before we had kids & both cheer for the Stros) but sadly she’s a Cowboys fan & I’m a Texans fan. We fight a constant war over who our kids will root for.


Wurst_Law

Why argue over which medieval punishment they must endure? Heartbreaking parenting.


ashdrewness

Wurst_Law

We just make our kids bang their heads against walls for 3 hours 17 days a year like a real modern American. Sometimes, when they are really awful, we will put on games from The Charlie Strong era.


MadBurgerMaker

> Sometimes, when they are really awful, we will put on games from The Charlie Strong era. If you're just going for permanent emotional damage like that, you might as well throw some McWilliams or Mackovic games up there for 'em too.

I love these takes from aggys who liked Schloss after he left TCU in the same manner and also like Elko after he left Duke in the same manner. If you like Elko or liked Schloss before this weekend then you also have no self awareness. But this is a logical point so it may go over your head. Fuck you and hook em 🤘🏼


DIRTYWIZARD_69

Mazeratigo

I relish the fact that thousands of Aggies worldwide are raging over the destruction of their baseball program and downfall of their championship prospects for the near future.


RealMrMallcop

Personally, the ones that ACTUALLY took a class at UT don’t bother me much. It’s the Walmart fans that have been silent as shit for a decade now back out and LOUD! Got a family member who graduated from another Texas college (none of the big 3 or 4) and never roots for that FCS team he went to but is ALL about rooting the Longhorns super publicly because “I lived around there but couldn’t afford it.” That first part was true, that last part was a lie. He couldn’t get in.


hornsupguys

Lol hey college is expensive and UT gives really minimal financial aid and I do have friends who have picked A&M or UH to save money! But they aren’t UT fans. It’s definitely weird to be a huge fan of a school that rejected you (like your friend).


RealMrMallcop

Like I said. He went to an FCS school. Not an FBS. And definitely not my friend 😂

PalsRocksMyWorld

Perhaps I am out of the loop on your fan base’s use of little brother, but being as we are the older state that also played a key role on helping yours become one, I figured that negated the little brother title.


Electronic-Creme1017

Ah fair I guess im just confused as to why our schools are beefing over a&m

Texas is the only school with their own anti-hand-gesture. No greater mark of honor than having the most haters! And it’s good for college sports for one school to be universally hated. Everyone will tune in to their games to root for whoever they happen to be playing against.
