    In all the times OU played at Kyle Field, me and my family were always treated with the utmost respect, every time. Loved those A&M trips every other year.

    I don't know if you are mad at A&M for leaving us behind for a better conference or what the deal is, but all the hating on A&M seems really silly to me.
    I've thought A&M fans were goofy and delusional since I first encountered them.

    I agree. I always thought they acted pretty much the same.......the Texas arrogance!

    I agree there was a degree of that "Texas Arrogance" after all, they are Texans. But I never had that in your face, "you scumbag okie trailer trash, go back to mobilehoma you backward sob" that I have gotten from the 'horn fans a few times while exiting the Cotton Bowl after a loss. Again, my experiences were all positive. My son went to yell practice one night before we played them, and they were giving it up to OU saying "now those sooners don't like the tea sips as much as we do, so we have that in common with them" routine.

    Again, I hear about all of this cult stuff from 'horn fans about A&M. I just haven't seen it. We beat them most every time I went down there (except 2002) and I never had one Aggie say anything to me negative while leaving the stadium. Only "great game, have a safe trip home". That is rare in this day and time with all the drunk idiot fans all schools have.

    I agree that they were civil and polite and good hosts.

    They treated us very nicely every time we went down there.

    That didn't make it seem any less bizarre and cultish.

    If you've been there in person and you didn't feel like you had wandered into Jonestown I don't know what to say.

    I couldn't wait to get out of town.

    They seemed like pod people.

    Re: aTm has videoboard envy?

    I've never traveled to Kyle Field to catch a game. Generally, I try to avoid the state of Texas unless it involves a trip to Dallas for the RRS. I never really encountered an A&M fan in the stands at an OU home game either, so my experience with them is limited. The one time I did run into some was in Alaska of all places when I was up there for summer vacation in 2006. I noticed these guys in the parking lot wearing A&M hats and I flashed em a horns down sign and pointed at my OU hat. After all, that was the year that their late season victory over Texas allowed us a berth in the conference championship game and 5th B12 championship under Stoops. Their first reaction was surprisingly hostile, talking trash about OU in general and then less surprisingly about the Boise State game that year. After I said I wanted to thank them for beating Texas that year, they warmed up a bit, but were still kinda stand-offish. But maybe that had more to do w/ the squeaker we pulled on their home field that season than anything else.

    So I wouldn't say I had a bad experience with them, but that on the whole they were much more interested in talking about Texas than either OU or even their own team.
    The enduring image of Oklahoma was that ridiculous double–middle finger of a game-icing kick. It was probably an accident, which somehow made it more, not less, insulting. It was as though Stoops had partied so hard on the corpse of the SEC that he woke up with an unplanned tattoo.

    You may, or may not realize this, but A&M has taken over (from Texas) as our biggest obstacle in recruiting in the region. In addition, they beat the **** out of us in the Cotton Bowl and even though OU owned A&M all the years they were in the conference, their fans are living on that beatdown.

    Besides, this has nothing to do with how we were treated at the opponents home stadium. I've been treated great by both Texas fans and OSU fans, and still dislike both programs immensely.

    Finally, this is a Sooner message board. If you're looking for compliments for A&M (or any team for that matter), you'd be better off checking out an Aggie board.

    So my guess is that while the screen is bigger than UT's, Aggie is bracing for even more blaring timeout nuisances.
    My UT friends have the same gripe about their video board, they have said we have the biggest screen but watching replays/stats on it is like watching them in a picture-in-picture window because the main screen is filled with ads. It's pretty much worthless to most of them.

    Not looking for compliments, just don't get all the A&M hate on here. That's all.

    You ever spend some time with their grads? I'm not talking about going to a game there.
    I've been around them enough to be chock full of contempt. Not hatred.
    Those goobs are still crying about the Calmus block in 2000.
    Not to mention how they think they are an elite program without much to show for it other than bells and whistles.

    Mike Leach had the same opinion about Tex A&M with their swords and dead dogs with the score board for them! They are weird! The marching band with pseudo-military uniforms smack of Nazi-ism. The regular fans have always been nice to us, but when a school has ALL of their fight songs against Texas U., that is too much. If you did not know what the swaying back and forth represents it is the sawing off the horns of Varsity which was the first name for Bevo. For such a large school, they have always been second fiddle to Texas U. and now they finally moved away from them. The big splash aTm had in the SEC just showed to me that the SEC isn't as special of a conference that media would like for us to believe.
