RANDOLPH DUKE THE AGS LOVE YOU

That's a lot of words just to say "You're right, and I hate myself for it"

lol.

The best part of this story is the reaction of the ags, or should I say the demonstration by the ags of such an absence of critical thinking. Gill himself said repeatedly that there was no 12th Man tradition he had heard of prior to McQuillen's radio play version of story of the 1922 game. And the overwhelming majority of the aggy alumni simply can't reconcile Gill's statements with the version of the school's "history" they were taught in fish camp. So they simply ignore Gill's statements as if they have no importance.

I never expected many ags to read the actual facts of their school's 12th Man "tradition" and say "Wow! I just learned something about the history of my school." But I never realized the lack of critical thinking, the intellectual dishonesty or the feelings of low self esteem were so deep a part of the aggy culture.

Gill seemingly was a honest many who seems to have given an honest recitation of the origins of TAMU's 12th Man "tradition." It is ironic that the way TAMU and its alumni choose to honor Gill is to cloak his memory in lies and to banish his words, especially his 1964 San Jacinto Day speech, from the school's history. You guys have an amazing culture for an institution of higher education.

Good Lord, aggy.  I have never seen someone so intent on sculpting the narrative like you do.  RD said there was something coming on in a couple of weeks and you bet him there wasn't.  You have lost that bet.

In addition, you are still hanging around trying to prove a so called "tradition" really existed when we both know that traditions at aggy are just bullshit!  That little fairy tale was exposed when you brave souls retreated to the SEC.

Your "traditions" are as ridiculous as a sword swinging, boot wearing, aggy Neidermeyer - that the whole country was astonished to see.

That event epitomizes why your pitiful little school is ridiculed so much.

That's, also why, it makes you so silly looking when you come over here trying to prove RD wrong. You and your ilk ARE a collection of Neidermeyer's, trying desperately to wave your sword and prove RD wrong - and that just emphasizes your gooberness  that much more.

The humorous thing is that all of us know you don't even have a clue what I am talking about.

Now something I can agree with.

The Cushing Library is digitizing its archive of the student newspaper which will unquestionably provide troves of information regarding the various "traditions" and stories you guys have been claiming to be factual for all this years. This is only going to get more comical as more of the truth is uncovered.

Just one question - What if E. King Gill was right when he claimed the school's 12th Man tradition was originated by E.E. McQuillen in 1939 when he wrote a radio play loosely based on the events surrounding a 1922 football game?

I seriously doubt the possibility Gill knew what he was talking about has ever entered your mind.

 

[Randolph Duke]

Just so it is out there, here are a couple of other pieces of information that have been dredged up, but which Lomax decided not to include in his Texas Monthly article.

This is Gill's version of the origin of the TAMU 12th Man "tradition" that was contained in a 1957 publication called "Texas Parade." This is the earliest evidence the TAMU archives as held in the Cushing Library has of any connection between Gill and the school's "tradition." It is in two parts because it ends one column on the page and breaks to the top of the next. Clearly it is explained that what Gill did in 1922 "caused no great stir" and that Gill yet again explains he hadn't heard of any 12th Man tradition on the school's campus until the radio play :

 

[Randolph Duke]

Here is the first mention of Gill in connection with the schools 12th Man "tradition" in anything published by the school. It comes from their 1962 yearbook. Gill was supposedly the most famous aggy ever to have lived and had been for 40 years by the time this was published. Not only couldn't they get the facts of the game correct, they couldn't even get Gill's name correct. (Take note of how the description of the 1922 game in this yearbook differs wildly from the description of the game in the school's 1922 yearbook).

 

[J.B. TexasEx]

Leave it to aggy to get their hero's name wrong in their own yearbook. Whoop!

 

[Randolph Duke]

Most comically were the words found in the closing paragraphs of the 1957 Texas Parade article. Even back then the rest of Texas was aware the aggys didn't have a f##king clue about the actual origins of the beloved tradition and that the ags were simply worshiping a fabricated fairy tale. Obvious ignorance, an aggy terdition.

Details might not have mattered in 1957, but they mattered a lot in 1990 when the school filed their false trademark application and when they intentionally mislead the federal court in the pleadings they filed in their litigation against the Colts.

On the aggy attacking the SMU cheerleader, it always cracks me up the cop grabs the cheerleader!

 

[doc longhorn]

Nobody has more disdain for an aggy goober than I, but as far as Aggies - it's hard not to miss the pageantry of the Aggie band and the marching Corps of Cadets.  There is not another school in the Big 12 that can compare to them and the poor dumb SOB's belong in the state - always playing against the Horns and marching down Congress avenue,

I, for one, miss them terribly and despise the idiots that allowed them to leave the conference - both the butthurt aggy morons and our arrogant admin.

Watch this to the end and realize what both schools have given up.

I know, right?

Let's apprehend the unarmed cheerleader while the saber-wielding aggy maniac gets a pass.

IMHO and I've said this before, pound for pound The Mob was/is the best band in Texas. They have talent, originality and a frigging sense of humor. The aggy band does what seems to be the same routine every time. They also have disrespected the field at DKR which unlike kyle field is a real memorial field. Several of "the corp" also refused to play with the Texas band for a memorial tribute one year and walked off the field. Oh, do we really care who wins halftime? Sorry Doc, I say screw em.

I can still enjoy aggy buffoonery without playing those goobers. Their band is overrated, too. F 'em

What I find funny is how they all claim it doesn't matter whether they we honest or dishonest in their trademark filing or in filing their federal court filings in the case against the Colts. So, or course, they chose to be blatantly dishonest.

If telling the truth would cost them nothing, why do they continuously avoid telling the truth and choose to tell lies about the history of their school and about their traditions?

It makes no sense to me why avoiding the truth is so important to them. Unless, of course, telling the truth would expose the fact so much of their history and so many of their traditions are highly embellished, if not outright fabricated.

I don't miss playing them at all. I found them to be boorish and poor sports. Their fake sports claims, their fake military history, the re-writing of their school's history at every turn, their lack of competitiveness and the fact not once in any of our lifetimes was the UT/A&M a game that had championship implications for whichever team that won.

The UT/OU game has long been important because so often the national championship hopes of both teams restes on the outcome of the game. The game has meaning almost every year. The UT/aggy game never had that level of importance because never since Hitler invaded Poland have the ags had a team that was worth two shits. Hell, the greatest aggy team in our lifetimes (2012) wasn't in the hunt for the national championship past the first quarter of the first game of that season.

Move the Thanksgiving game to either Friday or Sat of that weekend, schedule one high quality OOC opponent each year and start winning again. When we get that in place, we will be in much better shape that we would be if we were still saddled with having to tolerate what was a perpetually weak little sister as a conference member school.

And if anyone wonders what I mean about the dumbshit ags re-writing the history of their school at every turn...

What? If we had just made the FGs we missed in that first game of the 2012 season, we win the 2012 NC.

Stupid f'ing tsips

So, according to the ags, had they only made those missed field goals in the 2012 season opener against Florida, they would have won the 2012 National Championship.
 
Taylor Bertolet went 1/1 for field goals in the 2012 aggy season opener against Florida. He didn't miss any. But the aggy version of history is if they only hadn't missed the field goals they never even attempted, they would have won the 2012 National Championship.
 
Hell, if it was only a few totally fabricated field goal attempts, just go ahead and put that championship up on the side of your stadium along with your other moments of fabricated greatness. And why just lie about a couple of fake field goal attempts? Why not claim six or eight were missed?

See what I mean about fake sports claims and the re-writing of their school's history? We are far better off not having to deal with the insecure, lying bastards whose greatest accomplishments are figments of their imaginations.
