all a&m, all the time. Even on the OT in a thread about a UT track practice from almost 60 years ago
Remind me what the A&M fight song is about again and why did A&M genetically engineer carrots that weren’t orange?

Their look was no joke. They were part of the Texas Track Club, a small group of high school-and college-aged female sprinters based in Abilene, Texas, led by a dedicated coach as obsessed with beauty as with winning races. Both coach and athletes believed style could get people excited about the sport. “We were pioneers in women's track,” Rinehart, now 71, says. “We were making it popular. And people liked the way we looked because we were flashy.”

I believe the Texas fight song’s mention of A&M was more of a “reply” to the obsession that is about half of your fight song. I could be wrong, but that’s what I’m remembering from when I went down that rabbit hole one time.
ETA: From Wikipedia it looks like the whole song was about Texas until they tried to change it because “it was too focused on the Aggies’ rivalry with The University of Texas.”
“The original song is actually the second verse of the hymn; in 1938, Wilson wrote another verse at the request of several Aggie students who thought the original was too focused on the Aggies' rivalry with the University of Texas. The additional lyrics comprise what is now the first verse of the song. However, the first verse has never caught on, in part because many felt it sounded too much like an Ivy League song. Thus, in practice, the second (original) verse is usually sung twice.”

Is this where I say the whole fact that the song Texas fight exists is because of A&M or do I let you find that out on your own?

Pretty sure I already alluded to that fact above.

Which part? I’m just reading what I can find on a quick search. What did y’all learn at your re-education camp?
Posted on 5/2/20 at 12:51 am to TigerGrad2011
You obviously arent searching or you need to do better at it. Cause Texas fight is a response to a song that was our main one before the war hymn existed

You are correct, I don’t care to do a thorough research of your obsession. Can you just give me a list of all the songs, chants, poems, etc. y’all have about Texas to make this easier?
I said that the Texas fight song’s mention of little brother was a reply to a song y’all wrote, I apologize if I didn’t know that the War Hymn wasn’t technically your fight song. Also, for clarification, what is your fight song?
ETA: You are also very good at never answering a question that is asked. Just throwing this out there to call you out before you dodge another one.

So, just so I'm following this conversation. You said that A&Ms fight song is obsessive of Texas. When I said that UTs song is equally as obsessive, you immediately said that I was wrong. When I said that you were actually wrong, you have now fallen back on who cares, A&Ms song is obsessive and I lied when I said I did my own research
Am I wrong? Am I following this conversation correctly or would you like to correct me somewhere

One mention in UT’s, a whole lot in yours. What am I missing?
And I said that your whole university was obsessed with Texas, with the War Hymn/Fight Song whatever it is being a clear example.

I love how you completely backed off "texas fight is a response to the war hymn" and are now just throwing stuff at the wall wanting it to stick
Posted on 5/2/20 at 1:13 am to WestCoastAg
Never backed off of it. I said above and maintained that part of the reason was as a reply. Good try though.
You still haven’t answered a question that has been asked.

Oh really? So why did you immediately admit to being wrong and then just start randomly posting the song lyrics?
