Saw An Aggie With An Anti-Bama T-Shirt Last Week.....

selmaborntidefan · May 25, 2013

Last week my son's school had their annual spring band concert. I hustled over from the hospital and got seated in time to see the whole thing - a treat because it's rare. So we're milling around afterwards and saw a version of the second shirt on the left.

Now here's the deal. aTm deserved to win that particular Saturday. They outplayed us, they outgained us, they beat us. Don't like it, but they did.

But in what universe other than Auburn is 29-24 a "beatdown?" Particularly when we were six feet from taking it back after trailing 21-0. I have no qualm with shirts and celebrations. It's a little flattering that beating us means so much to them; had we beaten them I can assure you that not one single Tide fan would have celebrated like we'd just been released from prison.

"Beatdown?"

Wouldn't "We Were Lucky Enough To Hold A 21-Point Lead" - with a picture of the fumble pick up - have been more truthful advertising?

Rant over, RTR.

I don't believe their phenom QB will be able to match the scores that Bama's offense is certainly capable of posting this year. They will score...but in the end Bama's many weapons should overpower anything JFB will be able to achieve. Unless I am just so totally drinking the Kool-Aid that I have lost all sense of reality. I don't care...CNS makes great Kool-Aid.
Roll Tide!

As many know, I am married to an Aggie so I've been around them for a while..... I am beginning to think the have a lot more 'sidewalk' fans than even AU. The one who went to aTm are not the issue. It is the Trash that grew up in the backwoods of TX that makes their fan base look like bigger trailer trash than WVU, AU or Miss St. Good news is once they lose 4 or 5 games this fall (BAMA, LSU, OLE MISS, ARKY, and possibly Mizz), most of the non alumni will quit wearing aTm stuff and go back to their Jeff Gordon and Dale Jr attire.

BamaFlum · May 25, 2013

Their offense will score, but their defense lost a lot and will give up some points...in bunches. Let them gloat. They won; we didn't. This year is a new season. We'll see come September.

CHATTBRIT · May 25, 2013

Yes, they deserved to win that game. Just like Bama deserved to win the National Championship. In the realm of things, I take our win way over their win!!

To be fair, had the scores been reversed we would have told them "we just beat the hell outa you"!

RJ YellowHammer · May 25, 2013

When you get beat, you get beat. When Alabama gets beat the winner's fan base is going to make a big deal out of it. It comes with the territory.

TommyMac · May 25, 2013

Hmmm, you'd think they'd have a better idea of what constitutes a beatdown after that 77-0 mercy killing OU put on them a few years ago. :conf2:

Time for a refresher I guess.

IH8Orange · May 25, 2013

After the last 10 or so years, I'm sure that the Aggies' standards have dropped considerably. A four-point victory for them constitutes a "beatdown" and for us it invokes explosions of imprecation, bouts of depression, and a week of hell, supervised by "the devil himself", at practice.

Little brother syndrome. My only regret about taking them in is that they are the only little brother in the league where we don't already have big brother. Not really sure who is big/little in South Carolina, but they are the state university, so that should count for something.

This. To the victors go the spoils. It just makes payback a little sweeter.

RogueElephant · May 25, 2013

Well the only thing said who has won the National Title for 3 out of four years. Not aTm. Never should have let them into the SEC IMO.

CrimsonTheory · May 25, 2013

It's a bigger win for them (even tho they SURVIVE the game) than it is a loss to us. It's a price that comes with the territory. Let the South Carolina of the West Division enjoy the win.

Let them enjoy their most memorable victory in years.

GreatDanish · May 25, 2013

Congratulations to them for beating the national champions. That's certainly something we can't claim in 2012. Wonder what that must have felt like.

Exactly. I'll be glad to exchange one game for a NC any year if I had the choice.

Nothing personal, but sounds pretty much on a par with singing Rammer Jammer right after we eked out the win over Georgia in the SECChampionship game to me. No, while they won and deservedly so, they certainly didn't administer a beat down. On the other hand, it can hardly be truthfully said the we"beat the hell out of Georgia" either. Just two examples of trash talking with no basis in fact. :conf2:

CraigD · May 25, 2013

I have no real problem with the shirt. It doesn't mean that I agree with its sentiment or that I like it. I guess if we don't want stuff like that, we'll just have to beat them. As others have said, it's an honor that when someone beats us, it's a very big deal to them. I bet aTm didn't make shirts for all their other victories.

Just wait until the next time we play them. There won't be one of the aTm shirts bragging for 1,000 miles. I predict the aggies will be headed for the exits by 3rd quarter.
