Living here in Houston, I'm surrounded by Aggies. I've even become friends with some of them. Friday night I'm cooking a big ole pot of gumbo and having a Cotton Bowl party. So far the guest list adds up to this:

- Me and the wife - I'm an LSU Diehard, she graduated from LSU too but doesn't really get in to football
- One Aggie couple who are the typical "Gig'em, whoop whoop" obnoxious fans, he was in the corp and did the whole bonfire cult thing, she's all in as well
- One couple that is a laid back Aggie and a pretty cool Longhorn.
- One Aggie couple that are laid back Aggies and just like to drink and party
- One couple that's just there for the gumbo.
- One Texas Tech couple with ties to Baton Rouge that pull for LSU over everyone except Tech (they're my only allies and I can count on them to back me up big time)

After watching the Hogs screw the pooch last night, the possibility of a aTm victory, and me outnumbered in my own house by F'in aggies that range from "rabid" to "could become rabid given the situation", and really only one true Tiger there (ME) I'm starting to wonder if this was a good idea.

I love the Tigers, but after the last two seasons, with the JJ/JL roulette wheel of QB execution and the Gary "my middle name is incompetent" Crowton play calling, I'm not so certain about this one.

I better make the wife hide my guns, I don't want aggie blood on my hands if we lose.

It sounds like things may get out of hand with the A&M diehards and you will have to throw gumbo on them. Better make sure it's hot....

I would be worried too. Our incompetence on offense will keep anyone we play in the game.

maybe you should have another pot of gumbo for the non cajuns and slip a little exlax in it, they will be so busy going to the john they can't really get into the game

Sounds like you've lived in TX a little too long; you forgot how to spell gumbeaux...

Put Valium in their gumbo, that will quiet them down.

Spike the gumbo with a couple of drops of acid and watch the fireworks. It would take some of the attention off of the game at least.

I know, I know, but they're actually good people when isolated from their cult. It's when you get more than two of them together that their eyes glaze over and they start marching lock step, doing stupid hand signals, saying gibberish like "Gig'em" "Whoop" and "Saw 'em off".

There's nothing more fun to me than to get amongst their pack and throw out something about UT being the Flagship University of Texas. It's like kicking an ant nest! They'll start pulling their hair, gnashing their teeth, and rattling off aTm history. Once they've reached a frenzy, I'll hit them with this little nugget "aTm has always had an inferiority complex with UT. Y'all are the snot nosed little brothers who are always yelling "look at me look at me!". You're the only university in the country that actually references ANOTHER SCHOOL in your alma mater! You can't stand on your own merit, you have to compare yourselves to UT."

That usually pushes them over the edge

My advice would be not to talk shite. Compliment their team on a good play,and don't boast too much on tigers good plays. At the end of the evening when LSU wins, your friends will reflect and think of how classy you are and that's how LSU fans are because we expect it. "Act like youve been there" is the best philosophy.

And if we start sucking, throw GUMBEAUX on them and tell them to GTFO!

You'll be fine.......LSU wins and I think it's gonna be the best effort (other than Bama) of the year for LSU.

You know t.u. sings about us in their fight song, right? :)

In other news, not all Corps guys are the devil, but I'm biased 'cause I was one.

BTHO LSU!!

p.s. I'm sure they'll all be appreciative of the gumbo.

SEE, you can't stop comparing yourselves to UT! Funny that you said "T.U." instead of "UT", another sign of feelings of inadequacy methinks.

I've never been a huge trash talker, I'm a big believer in karma, what comes around goes around. I really DO hope it's a good game, but dammit, we need to win!
