The bike thing is 100% true. Especially with the ofos when they were around. People put them on top of buildings too, I have absolutely no clue how they got them up there tho 😂😂
still doing it with veorides, saw one on top of the big screen at Kyle field and another one on top of the academic building... no clue how they got them there but they're stepping up their game
Can attest, witnessed the tree-ing of a bike last week. Took two freshman to do it but it was quite a sight to behold in action.
As an Aggie, I have respect for UT for their support after the 1999 Aggie bonfire tragedy, where several Texas A&M died.
I know the rivalry is strong in both sides but I think aggies are more intense about it. (Yes there are chill aggies and intense longhorns but I mean overall)
Sara Raadt thats because texas’s biggest rival is OU
Kind of a skewed opinion. The issue is that Longhorns don't have to deal with the numerous t-shirt fans giving them crap, all the time. I graduated from A&M and have many friends and colleagues who are Longhorns. We all mess with each other, but all have respect for each other. I have received the most hate from longhorn t-shirt fans who couldn't get into either school. Because of this, we tend to be much more defensive.
Longhorns would too if there were as many Aggie t-shirt fans giving them a hard time.
No We Longhorns aren't more chill, we just know that UT is the best university based on ranking and review, in Texas, one of the best in the US, and highly rated in the world! So we hook'em and stomp on the Aggies cause we just don't see them under our Cowboy bootz!
It's because A&M didn't pay to make UT look worse
@@persianprince6213 actually that’s Rice
My sister went to ut austin and my bro went to a&m lmao
What did your brother tell you aboit A&M ?!
That’s what gonna happens with me and my brother. Still debating tho 😭
@@meeben I went to the a&m campus. Its like semi urban. More on the suburban side with flat land and not much to do around. The campus is pretty nice but it does NOT feel good when ur walking around in 100° weather in the summer lol. He didn't tell me much.
@@shiashia8463 id go with ut austin man
Thanksgiving's must be fun
I went to SMU (and Texas Tech for summer school). Several family members (and tons of friends) went to UT and to A&M. When we were kids, we learned early not to bring up this rivalry at family gatherings. We were just being kids, but I noticed it genuinely ticked off the adults who’d been to those schools and were getting along at thanksgiving. I have a cousin who got offered a full scholarship and extra money to go to UT but she turned it down because she thought it would kill her dad who went to A&M. It’s a shame that this football rivalry isn’t happening still. It’s important for Texas
Edit: after I had my economics degree I was working for an oil company and went back for petroleum engineering. In the Permian Basin. There were students there that summer from every single school that had a petroleum engineering program. I didn’t particularly care about my grades but I was looking for talent. There were two guys from UT and A&M who finished their physics test faster than everyone else in the class and then slept through the rest of the class. They were faster than than the people from Rice, Cal, and MIT. Those guys are bright too. I hope they ended up with a well rounded education. It’s a shame to waste a brilliant mind on over specialization. There are brilliant people at these institutions.
THE RIVALRY IS COMING BAXK BABY!!!
“I’m an Aggie. I’m studying farming.” SENT ME. Landoahakdh. No lies detected.
I grew up a Longhorn, but now I'm a member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie class of 2024. Watching this video is so strange to me
Welcome to the family fellow Ag. - '20
Same. Born and raised in Austin, both my grandads and dad went to UT, but A&M class of 2016👍
Congrats on making the change, I grew up a Longhorn fan as well but the sense of community and appreciation for one-another is what won me over.

I was talking to my grandpa the other day while we were walking on campus ( we live right next to it so we take walks together there) and he told me his bike lived in a tree😂😂
As an Aggie I am offended no one even once mentioned hamburger when talking about that school down in Austin. I am however glad that one student mentioned U.T.s performance after the bonfire tragedy in 99'. As much as I enjoy egging on t.u. fans that school will always have my love and respect after that performance.
Yes. it wasn’t just a Texas A&M thing. It was a Texas thing. We’re not that competitive to the point we hate and spit on each other. That was a time where Texas A&M was suffering tremendously and that one of our BIGGEST and OLDEST traditions had been knocked down and Killed 12 Students and Injured 28.
This is a awesome video!!!!!!!!
BIKE IN THE TREE i had to look that up and that t sip made me laugh so hard
Lots of bikes in trees...
2:33 yeah the bike thing is true, I’ve only seen it once and it wasn’t in a tree it was on top of one of the big letters on Kyle field
There is much to be said about a beautiful campus with a coordinated master plan. The Austin school has an edge there, due to better architecture, landscape design and varied topography. The limestone edged Waller Creek is one notable feature that contributes to the campus' natural beauty.
LOL, I’m going to UT and it’s not built right. Barely any parking and no shortcuts to get to any places because of the way the school is built.
At the University of Texas: the mascot is "Bevo," a longhorn bull; the fight song is "Texas Fight;" and the hand symbol is the "hook em horns" sign. You can see how all those things have connection. At Texas A & M: the mascot is "Reveile," a collie dog; the fight song is "Hot Time in the Town Tonight;" and the hand symbol is the "gig em" sign. Only to Aggies, do these somehow have connection.
The A&M fight song is the Aggie War Hymn not whatever Hot Time in the Town Tonight is lol
That is not where the connection lies. TAMU, then called A.M.C, was initially founded in 1876. While Texas University was founded in 1883, we were initially supposed to be apart of the University of Texas System, but we were never enveloped into it for one reason or another. Then it was deemed there wasn't room for two universities in Texas, and obviously the one that wasn't just a military school got to stick around. Oddly it was the fact that A.M.C was a military school, and that parents wanted their boys to act like our university president at the time, Sully, that we got to stick around. This is where all those crazy/fun/mildly depressing traditions started.
Tl:Dr: The reason why Aggies are obsessed with Texas University is that a long time. TAMU was almost shut down, and the military school environment kept those flames burning untill it was cemented into the school's culture.
Note: Most of the things that make us look off-putting and weird is due to the Corp of Cadets.
@@Sushimyster Hot Time in the Old Town plays at the end of the War Hymn.
I have some questions. Please. Can I find a student from A&M university ?
lol, mohamed. You already picked the wrong state you want the wrong school too? Aggie class 04... glad im getting my mba elsewhere
@@barrotjeantoy602 I didn't understand. Can you explain more please ?!
TAMU has a lot more crazy school spirit but that comes with a lot more beauty that isn't pretty pictures, but the burning sense of unity and love you can feel from the aggie spirit itself.
all the UT people are really complimenting A&M lol
Hello!! Try chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo it's a life transforming philosophy which I have been practicing for 9 years. I chant to the Gohonzon.
* starts swaying back and forth and yelling*😂I'm an Aggie if anyone can tell
I seen a bike in a tree when I went on a tour to A&M Nov 2022 lmao
I just got accepted to tamu!
Congrats!
I go to UT and my brother goes to A&M LOL
Texas A&M and UT. Are on of the most competitive colleges I’ve ever seen. I’m a A&M boy and I want to go there. And my “friend” wants to go to UT. We have arguments. Not yelling arguments. But happily disagreement and laughing arguments. I say they look like Traffic cones and my dad says they look like Chinese Circus clowns. My “Friend” says they look like dirt. Whenever a UT walks onto A&M territory we say “Where’d you get that outfit? The dollar store?”. Lol. Gig’ Em.
yeah its a rivalry but more of a family rivalry and im an Ag too Gig Em!
Yeah, It’s like a feeling of. Like. We’re friendnimys, Like. We dispose each other. But we don’t like spit on each other. We just laugh and make funny jokes.
I’m going to UT now, I’m definitely gonna transfer the next year to A&M.
Got in ut and not at a&m?! How tf that's possible
NETWORKING LOL
Both of them are my dream universities (MS in petroleum engineering)
Waiting for the decisions
a&m sucks how is that your dream school lmao
@@rizzoli7 how come man!?
It best suits for my program
@@dhruwalbhimani7727I'd say UT is way better bro, at least where I live in Texas, we all consider a&m a joke
@@rizzoli7 but I got a reject 😕that’s why I am left with only this
@@dhruwalbhimani7727 oh okay bro, nvm, a&m is chill but when compared to UT it just cant be compared
The question he should have asked of the TU students is how did Bevo get his name? I wonder how many TU students know the answer and the actual answer is great. 😄
It’s UT but yeah some people surprisingly don’t know that story. It’s pretty big so most UT fans know it but I’m sure some don’t
@@chowda9326 13-0
@@t0paggie yup
Bevo is a play on the word ‘beeve,’ which is not only the plural of ‘beef’ but long used as slang for a cow or steer destined to become food.
aggies are obsessed with UT and UT remains unbothered
yea, I have friends that attend both schools and my UT friends talk nicely of UT but not much, A&M friends however always have to downtalk UT and are weirdly obsessed with the school
Gerald I mean if you would like to take this one video as an example if everyone who is a fan of both schools so be it but as an Aggie myself I’ve always seen ut fans as the arrogant type who can’t get our name out of their mouth but ofc a tu fan would say otherwise. So honestly I think that both schools dislike each other but no one is in the wrong for craving the rivalry. Gig em aggies 👍
@@lucasankeny6653 I've gone to A&M many times to visit friends and for tours as well as UT and easily, A&M students can't keep UT out of their mouth, I'm not being bias either as I am gonna attend A&M in the fall, just my personal observation that matches everyone else's but yours
Ben Dover
no one talks about a&m at UT. like they literally made a whole chant about UT and sing it at every football game. obsessed.
@@gerald9547 yea, UT is kinda like a big brother to a small brother, if it makes sense
Gig em
Victoria Elizabeth gig em 👎🏼 hook em horns 👍
LONGHORN GANG WHERE YOU AT
How is there even a rivalry after A&M left for the SEC a couple years ago
Phillip Tran it's Texas, the rivalry will last for ages no matter what happens. Two best teams in Texas wants their supremacy.
Both schools/teams mention each other in their fight songs going back decades and will not change which only serves to continue the rivalry, if only a cold war right now.
Recruitment for football, on a smaller scale.
How is this even a question? Stupid. Hook em!
@@cadenkrystyniak Sometimes Baylor and TCU are better than A&M
Did anybody’s else’s family go to A&M while another family member went to UT?
damn this makes me sad that i go to a&m, people are a lot less chill here
Nice try!
Aggie till I die!
Texas A & M
Or UT ......
GIG’EM
Both granddaughters, their husbands are AGS, Their children wear maroon and white!
saw’em off
I want to go to UT. #Hookemhorns
3:24 Replace Vince with Johnny and you have an accurate description of every aggy ever.
Aggies*, and most ags don’t even like him
Biased reporting. Hook'em horns.
GIG’EM AGGIES 👍
Hook Em!

The UT campus is filled with creeps. Trust me I have been to both campuses and I much prefer the tamu campus. Horns down Gigem👍🏻
Fuck you
CHARMX'S BEANIE lmao
Are you sure you didn’t mix the campuses up? It should be the opposite
i bet u got rejected from ut
#gigemfaggies
varisies horns are sawed off
Love long horns they beat aggies 25 times
my sisters went to a&m and usta...i want to go to ut :/
UTSA and UT are superior
@@chowda9326 nah A&M vastly superior
@@eggnog5161 not even close
Why are aggies so salty?
I dunno, must be all the salt from TU.
Hook’em horns 🤘🏼 m&m 👎🏼
We all know A&M students are UT rejects
I only applied to A&M, got easily accepted. I hate the liberalism at TU.
then how come texas am is a harder school to get into
gucci seavey Texas a&m is much easier to get into wtf?
OverlySpicy actually no it's not maybe do you research before trying to correct me you idiot
OverlySpicy lmao A&M is much more difficult to get into
Texas Aggies being rich, straight, and engineers and Longhorns study dance and sociology and don’t make much $ and tend to be LBGT.
Victor Wiesner then why does Texas have the higher endowment and rated higher as a university?
you’re an idiot
@@Lurkerrr928 Politics... The tu endowment is derived from the PUF (Public University Fund). This is money from oil and mineral income in the state of Texas. This money used to go 100% to tu because of politics. A&M fought against it because it is the only other flagship university in the state and was able to win, receiving 1/3 of the PUF. That is why A&M's endowment is so large but not as large as tu's. A little research wouldn't hurt you...
Also, ranking is arbitrary and fairly meaningless, unless you are at a top 10 school. Some of the metrics they use are ridiculous and are heavily biased towards liberal leaning institutions. This is why schools on the west coast and northeast are always ranked so much higher than everyone else. Look at rankings for average mid-career salary or best investment when looking at how much you spend versus how much you can expect to make in the real world. How do they rank on employment, 6 months after graduation? These are the metrics that matter. The reason we go to college is to prepare ourselves for a career. Everything else is just made up nonsense.
If you are looking at a career in the state of Texas, an A&M degree is weighted just as much as a degree from tu by any employer. In fact, A&M has a better graduate network than tu, which actually makes it easier to find great employment after school. We are taught from our first week at A&M that Aggies hire Aggies and Aggies help Aggies. I work in business to business IT sales in Houston and have over 100 customers that range in various business verticals. When it comes to engineering firms, I deal with far more decision makers who are Aggies than that of any other school. I have actually had business owners tell me they like hiring Aggies over tu grads because Aggies don't have an over inflated ego like many longhorns, and tend to not mind working harder to pay their dues. Granted, that is a generalization, but it is first hand experience I have, in the real world; not a fantasy world of reading Newsweek's articles or what some Ivy league grad journalist in New York thinks about my school, city, or state when he/she has never been south of Tennessee.
@@Lurkerrr928 And yet, look at your reply, versus mine. You say "I'm not trying to be condescending", yet you consistently use the phrase "aggy", which is a purposefully condescending thing to say.
You're either being purposefully obtuse or you don't understand what you are typing (lack of reading comprehension?).
As for the alumni network, I had friends who actually went to tu who said that even their academic advisors admitted the Aggie Network was superior to their alumni network. To ignore that or argue that is insanity of the highest level. Aggies go out of their way to help other Aggies. (3) of the interviews I had immediately out of college were arranged by hiring managers I called through the Aggie network.
Tell me, why is tu academically better? Quantify that. I gave specific examples I encounter in the real world, which is "reality". You are simply spouting something you read in an article written by a journalist with an agenda. Are the books you read at tu harder to understand? Are the tests more difficult? Do they teach a secret form of engineering and math that no one else teaches?
Per PayScale.com. Highest mid career salaries by public institutions... don't see the longhorns in the top 25 but I do see A&M: www.payscale.com/college-salary-report/best-schools-by-type/bachelors/public-schools
Per Forbes. A&M at 18 and tu at 25: www.forbes.com/sites/carolinesimon/2017/08/02/25-top-public-colleges-with-the-highest-earning-graduates/?sh=3654e49f23e0
Per WSJ: online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/info-Salaries_for_Colleges_by_Type-sort.html
But sure, because some Ivy league grad determines tu to be academically superior, we should all just accept it. There are world class educators at both schools, but all the rankings are irrelevant when compared to dollars and cents. Argue all you want. Puff out your chest and say "I graduated from UT, dammit, so I am better than everyone else". I will quietly collect my great paycheck and continue to succeed, spouting facts instead of feelings. This epitomizes the difference between tu and A&M. One is an elitist school that spouts the same condescending bs that you typed in your response, with no substance. The other school helped teach me to think analytically and stick to hard facts and truths instead of feelings.
Thanks, and Gig 'em!
are those supposed to be bad things,,
texas atm is a better college and awesome football team ❤
Actually, UT is a better quality school overall :) TX ATM tends to have a lot of cult vibes ❤️
