Oh! OK! I have only been here two years now and I haven't really gotten out much since I have been here. With going back to school again, I imagine that will change.

I would not doubt that this reputation was spread by UT students long ago, probably after losing to A&M in the annual football game, and it has just spread (and stuck) ever since. I think it stems from the fact that the A in A&M stands for Agricultural, and they look down on them for that (the whole stereotype about rednecks and stupidity, which is just that, a stereotype).


You are probably right.

I can't give A&M too much slack (or I will take a lot of abuse from my friends living in Austin! ).
