Texas president Jay Hartzell proves just how much Longhorn fans don’t care about A&M by tweeting about Longhorn fan who clearly cares very much about A&M
Ask any Longhorn fan, and they will practically trip over themselves to let you know as quickly as possible just how seldom they think about A&M, I promise you dude, I don’t even think about them ever basically. Anytime a Texas fan tweets about not thinking about A&M, Texas fans boost it as much as possible while, miraculously, continuing to not think about A&M.
Now, I hesitate to call this a “tradition,” since that’s a word often associated with A&M, and Texas doesn’t think about them, but I think we can call it a “staple” down there in Austin. Except Staples’s main color is red, and red is kind of like maroon, which is A&M’s colors, who they don’t think about, so just figure a different word in there I guess.
As excited as the most annoying, $10 burnt orange walmart shirt-wearing guy you’ve ever met is to let you know that he hasn’t been to College Station since 2003, those who may accept this narrative at face value might have some questions, given how often Texas fans seem to be talking about this team that they do not think about.
Case in point: this morning, on College Gameday, a Texas fan was spotted in the midst of the Aggie crowd holding up a sign—ever hilarious and original of course—that said something about “little brother.” There’s no better way to show your superiority than trying to make a scene when you feel like someone else is getting too much attention, so this was an expert move.
I take it back—there is one way: have your university president tweet and acknowledge your heroic act of bravery. Luckily, the Longhorns have a man just that savvy in office.
I have never been more convinced than I am in this moment that Longhorn fans do not think about Texas A&M. In fact, I’m beginning to wonder if any of them have even ever heard of A&M! Unless, of course, they are conducting exhaustive and doubtless highly accurate demographic polling—that’s just good sociology!
What a normal group of people!
