Aggies apparently not very gracious hosts (Admin - no more 4 letter words)

[selmaborntidefan]

We had a guy lose his job over playing "Take the Money and Run" at the 2010 Iron Bowl. And while we can debate the level of class that shows, it had NOTHING to do with any sort of competitive advantage or anything.


The funny thing is they REALLY ought to be careful trying shenanigans like this with a team they'll play every year. It's one thing to do it to a one-time opponent who comes to town but stupid to do it to someone who can retaliate.

Now we see what the Aggie Honor Code is all about. There is NO EXCUSE for not having the ac in working order.

The only proper response in this situation would be, like somebody suggested upstream, the Haggies should have offered Bama their locker room, and done without themselves.

But absolutely nothing gets by Saban, he brought his own ac. After the game, I hope he explains that with this level of treachery, he's glad Bama brought their own water and food rather than trusting the locals.

We've been told ad nauseum how much money is available to the aTm program, but they can't get an air conditioner in working order?

This to me almost seems too classless to be true. It reminds me of the Auburn plan to slow the bus from Montgomery but that was a fan thing. If this is true I just lost every ounce of respect for Sumlin.

 

[BamaFanInTally]

I can honestly say I was hoping for a beatdown, but after hearing this I hope it's one of epic proportions. Would love to score half a hundred on these clowns.

And I was originally worried about the 90+ degrees on the field. I guess it could have been hotter in the locker room. With A/C's brought in by Bama in an already reduced size locker room that makes me MAD as ..................................!

Vengeance is mine saith the Lord. Lord please give me some of that vengeance today so I can use it against the AntiChrists in East Texas! Is an Aggie and an AntiChrist synonymous?

I am so hoping for my prediction in that thread to become a fact.

I followed their prez on twitter and asked him about it, lets see if I get a response...

You are trying too hard.

They're taking advantage of a bad situation, I'm surprised and dismayed at this lack of sportsmanship on tamu's part. Competition ends, where a player's health and well being begins! I'm going to start referring to the Ag(onies) as tamoo, as in some west jawja heifers we have deal with.! :mad2:

 

[Al A Bama]

You are very strange.

Well, it's game day and this really ticks me off.

I think I'll just sign off before I blow a fuse.

RTR!!!!!!!

Re: Aggies apparently not very gracious hosts

I heard it's because of the expansion they are doing. Alabama brought in extra ACs.

Yah, I give them the benefit of the doubt on this. I don't see the Aggies doing this. Other than Johnny, I am fine with Sumlin and the team. They don't seem classless to just turn it off on purpose.

but like everyone said, they should have made sure it was fixed. Thankfully Bama brought their own.

I'm sure he'll get right on it.

Another reason to dislike A&M. Not surprised.

You can expand a stadium and keep the visitors locker room air conditioner in working order at the same time. You don't have to choose to do one thing or the other, both can be done at the same time unless you are trying to gain a competitive advantage.

Then they compound the insult by trying to blindside Bama with it?

 

[TideMan09]

Everything is bigger in Texas..Especially being "Classless" ..

 

[Capt. Jack]

This type of tactic usually backfires.

 

[TideMan09]

Go ahead and tick off Coach Saban & our Boys before the game starts, sounds brilliant to me, I have a feeling this is going to be a longggggggg day for the aggies..

 

[Go Bama]

If Bama had to bring their own AC then Bama needs to send aTm a bill.

 

[Chukker Veteran]

At Bama, we let the visiting team use The Fail Room. Funny name but it looks adequate, to say the least.

At aTm, they take it to another level. Hades is said to be a very hot place, wonder if they call their visitor's locker room the ____ Room.

 

[Crimson1967]

I understand if the AC isn't working. However, the moral thing to do is call and let the other team know and make arrangements for temporary AC units to be installed.

Otherwise, do like they do when the headphones don't work and turn their AC off.

 

[TexasBama]

I think some of you are making an error in logic on this. You are assuming the Aggies are smart enough to purposefully do this.
