Yeah nothing worse than a strong alum network. Where would that get any Aggie.

I would rather be homeless on the streets than be apart of the Faggie alum network

God forbid someone shows pride in graduating from college. I’d much prefer someone show their pride in not going to college and having a job as a night operator by having a big set of truck nutz

College rings in general are weird

The hand signals thing with the Texas schools is even more strange.

What's wrong with wearing a class ring at any time during your life?

I’ve worn my LSU ring almost daily for 10 years now.

I honestly don't think I have met a single LSU person who wears a ring. shite I didn't even know anyone who bought one.


I think it's a generational thing with LSU...younger grads don't get them, I got mine as soon as I was eligible and got it just before I completed 2d semester of my junior year...

I wore that ring for years and if I ever get hold of the proper Balfour rep, will send it back to be resized and renewed (lost the letter "S" on the stone)

I feel like the folks at the SEC would disagree with this.



I wish we could fricking Trade Mizzou for Oklahoma, Texas, or TCU. Jeezus fricking christ Mizzou makes me mad.

But most definitely A&M Belongs in the SEC. Stupid of anyone to disagree adding A&M.


ON topic. Wearing a college ring is an old-fashioned tradition. A&M is very old fashioned and traditional. Doesn't bother me after a double-take or so.

I do enjoy laughing at their Yell Leaders as we sit in 414 with a good view of them Goobers.

Be honest, does anyone know a single person under the age of 50 that wears their class ring that isn’t even a little bit odd?

I use to work with a few “Aggies” that never gotten in, they wore their SFA and Texas state rings.

Both huge A&M fans, just miserable Aggies to be around

A fan base who shows a great deal of alumni support for one another......yeah. They are soooo strange.

I get people not understanding their quirky nature, but Aggies are far better supporters to their own versus LSU.

I come to appreciate them and their uniqueness.

I would rather my boys go to College Station than Baton Rouge. The institutions are lightyears apart with aTm head and shoulders above. Is what it is.

I’ve been witness to LSU fans hating one another and not supporting each other in the business world far too many times.

My dad (not an Aggie) always wore his ring to work.


I don't wear mine, but my dad (an LSU grad) always wore his, no matter what he was doing. At work? The ring was on. Chopping down a tree? The ring was on. Changing the oil in his truck? The ring was on. It doesn't seem odd to me, even though I don't do it.

Why because I think all the "traditions" are just weird homoerotic cult activities?
