No doubt it is the Texas A&M fans.
Now they are crying like babies about OU and Texas turning down the blood money from the conference members who offered it in order to keep the Big XII viable.
Agtimes.com and texags.com are full of threads with aggies crying because they supposedly were had over this issue.
Personally, I can't imagine OU ever taking that kind of money as it sure wasn't the right thing to do.
But, the greedy aggies are crying cause they won't get theirs, ha.
They seem to think they are so special that they are owed something cause they are Texas A&M.
They think they are great, but they have never been all that good. They have all the advantages, yet can't compete on the gridiron. They resort to blaming everyone except themselves.

I have always felt that TAM being a military school would not be able to recruit enough of the kind of athlete that would allow them to be the best in the state of Texas. Same goes for OSU in Oklahoma. Look at their histories over the past 100 years and the championships don't come near those of Texas and OU. Hate to even mention Texas, but the fact is that they have the winning tradition in the state of Texas like OU has here.

Not only the fans, but the A&M president want their 20 million.

I agree with Walt, for a program that won it's only National Championship the year I was born, and has been mired in mediocracy ever since (except for a small level of success in the 80's and 90's), the aggies have a very inflated view of themselves.
Plus, I can't get over the fact that their band hasn't been able to learn a new song or marching routine since the REA got electricity out to College Station.

I know what you are getting at, but TAMU is not a military school. They just let their ROTC form the band and have the best student seats in the stadium. They get a lot of members to wear those funny uniforms and go-go boots for the games.
They wannabe something, but they don't know for sure what they wannabe.

Having lived in Houston for almost five years, I learned the Ags all like to talk about their traditions...winning football games is not one of those traditions.
