From Hater over at tigerboard:
Over the past few days, I�ve seen a lot of interactions with our new friends to the south. Since they don�t really know us, and we don�t really know them, I felt I should directly address the trolls and non-trolls alike whom have frequented this place the last few weeks and months. (Not counting a few decent ones I came across, who probably actually live somewhere else).
Screw introductions. I don�t really like you.
One thing you will find about us, is that your weak, pop-gun, Jim Rome-esque attempts to insult us will fall helplessly to the floor as our eyes roll back into our heads, and a sly snicker slides across our face.. Why might that be you ask? Well, there are a few reasons you will grow to dislike us in the near term, and loathe the very ground we walk on in the longer term. The reason why is pretty simple when it comes down to it.
Our age old battles with a nameless rival go back generations. Not a lame �civil war� or a stupid �holy war� or whatever name ESPN gives these days. No this was a war with lead, cannons, gunfire, burning, killing, maiming, stealing and genocide. (But your role as A&M�s third biggest rival is nice too) We are battle hardened against foes much MUCH more idiotic, MUCH more delusional than you, and with trophy cases filled as wide as the Ozarks.
You think it�s tough insulting your banjo picking asses when we�ve just spent the better part of 40 years going at it with Nebraska and Oklahoma fans? You think it�s tough doubting your �what if� and �we would smoke you� scenarios�when we just came out of a relationship where we didn�t win a game against those teams for like forty years. IN other words�.there is nothing you can do, nothing you can say or nothing you can show us that will impress us. Absolutely nothing.
You were ranked #5 this year and as high as 3rd? ? Whoopie doo. We were ranked #1 a few years back and finished up #4. You may remember that team�they were the ones that beat your coachless ass senseless. (Tony Temple just scored again). You�ve had three, 10 win seasons in the past six years? That�s funny�so have we. We sucked up until recently? That�s funny, because before 2006, you averaged just over 5 wins a year since 1990. Doesn�t sound too intimidating to me, even if you were in the AFC East.
We know your kind. We know your shtick. We know your arguments before you make them. We�ve dealt with faster, sharper, more insane, more crazy, more whacked out and more SUCCESSFUL fans than you for nearly 100 years. We understand your impression of us as an NAIA quality fan base waltzing into your big bad conference next year�and don�t get us wrong� we are excited about that. But everything I�ve read from you�everything I�ve heard�every tweet, call and message board post reeks of amateurism and a massive massive Freud complex.
So yes�our QB this year sucks.
We have no national recognition.
We have no championships
We have no fans
We don�t travel
We don�t go to games
We don�t support our coaches
We don�t improve our facilities
You can believe all of it. In fact, I�ll even come up with some new ones if you like.
But if you think we aren�t battle hardened enough to take your sh*t and laugh all the way down the field�well then, you out of your moonshine soaked mind. What I�ve seen from you so far is weak, unimaginative, uninformed, uneducated, petty and in most cases absolutely hilarious�.and yes�we�ve seen it all before. So as our previous rival runs home to Mom with their flat nerf football, let us be the first to say you�re running away as the leading candidate to take their place. So tomorrow, as you try and figure out how some low-life program somehow �stole� your prize recruit� let me leave you with one final thought:
If you don�t hate us already�you will�.because we wear black hats and we wear them well. I�m sure I don�t speak for everyone, but quite frankly I�m a little insulted that you haven�t even really appeared to try yet. Why haven�t you brought out your �A� list material? Good God, is THIS you�re �A� list material? Either way, that�s fine. We look forward to it anyway for many years to come.
So enjoy your signing day tomorrow and the rest of your basketball season. We�ll be right here when you get back, and even if you slip in a lucky punch form time to time�.we�ll still be here. Who knows? Maybe we�ll go 2-10 next year? Maybe we won�t have a winning season for 50 years? Maybe James Franklin will suddenly forget how to not throw for 2800 yards? Maybe our fan base will quietly slip away into the night as you laugh your skoal crusted suspenders off?
Nope. Been there and done that for a long long time. We�ve earned the right to be as$holes, because we took our shots for generations. We�ve survived seasons and eras that would crush the average fan. We�ve gone through scandals, losses, and disappointments. We had a player roll an ATV at the president�s house. We�ve thrown popcorn at our pretty-boy coach because he couldn�t come within 50 points of Illinois. We�ve lost to not one but TWO eventual national champions�one on a 5th down play (Johnson still hasn�t crossed the goal line) and once when a guy KICKED A BALL OVER HIS HEAD AT THE GOAL LINE WITH :00 LEFT ON THE CLOCK AGAINST A TEAM THAT HAD LOST 2 GAMES IN 5 YEARS.
If you can top that�then be my guest.
Good luck trying and congratulations on your new role in our lives. I�m sure you�ll love every minute of it. I know I�ve been highly entertained already.
