Fish Bait? Yes, fish bait.

PrintI like to think I'm a fairly high-minded fan and person. I like to think that I rarely stoop to name calling or insults. And for the majority of the time, I am.
However...
Due to the wild overreaction and inflammatory tweets regarding the "vandalism" of team buses by the AD down south, Mr. Byrne, I have made a command decision that I have no other option but following through on.
From this point forward, I will no longer refer to Texas A&M as the Aggies. I will now term their school, their players, coaches, administration and most of all, their fans, Fish Bait. I think it fits. Plus, it just sort of rolls off the tongue nicely. You can say quickly and easily whether sober or drunk. Your wife will like it. Your kids will like it. You will like it.
That is all.

I agree
atm = fish bait
Now and forever will be known as “Fish Bait.”

NUTS - Never Underestimate TEAM Strength
And they are soon to be
Tiger Bait & Gator Bait also…
Maybe we will be fortunate enough to play them in their bowl game when they make it there once every 5 or 6 years.

works for me
For a school that supposed to be classy and have all these sainted traditions they sure broke alot of there own rules this year. For the drugie kid that hit Stephens and was glad that he never has to return to Lubbock all I can say is Good Bye Fish Bate and Welcome Horny Toads.
TCU is an upgrade
in a lot of ways. Still sucks to see the entity of a&m leave the conference but not at all with their ignorant mindset and intolllllllllllllerable “traditions”. TCU folk are much better in my book. Plus Ft. Worth/Sundance Square beats the hell out of god forsaken college station.

OT - Just saw the best comedy/horror film since Reanimator
Tucker and Dale vs Evil. It completely subverts the college kids camping in the woods being stalked by psychotic hillbilly killers genre. I’ve never laughed as hard at gruesome deaths in my life. Highly recommended. I suspect the college kids in the film were Texas A&M students.

That’s a VERY polite term for the Ags, but at least one can use it in mixed company! Personally, I’m looking forward to seeing the K-State fans this weekend. They’re much nicer people and you don’t have to hide your sheep.
Looking forward to seeing the Ags become Tiger Bait and Fish Bait, and when they go to Tuscaloosa—Dead Meat. Will be delicious!
Typical Aggie BS
I’m not sure if its that they knowingly lied about it being fish bait or that they’re just too stupid to know the difference between fish bait and dog shit.
Are you not entertained?

This fits. After all, they did fall for the SEC bait, hook, line and sinker. Now, Mississippi State, ATM’s good twin sister, will not have to be the only doormat.

I’m sure none of y’all care what a Longhorn thinks, but I’ve enjoyed watching the Raiders and Ags duke it out over the years. The play on the field is just as great as the antics off the field.

Byrne owes TT a huge apology for his drama queen antics and accusations.

I like it. Not sure who said it but TCU is definitely an upgrade. I’m going to enjoy having a local game around DFW once every 2 years. We should take a poll on how long it takes A&M to evaporate in the SEC.

No new "tweets"
Byrne hasn’t been posted anything on Twitter since Saturday, claiming that the LPD was contacted (while the LPD denies any reports of the incident). Does this mean someone told him to shut the hell up for a while?

Newest chatter....
is that the only bus left un-locked was the “freshman players” bus. The bus was vandalized but the upperclassman, nothing more than an annual prank against the freshamn, hence the “fish-bait”, and this was the reason it was cleaned up and the police were not involved.

Yes it would
and if true, then the big 12 really should have to do something about the aggie AD blaming it on TTU.
Maybe make a nationally televised apology to the University and people of Lubbock, while promising to stop making sweet nasty love to the sheep of the world.
get real
The apology may be within realms of possibility… but Aggie promising never again to know the love of a sheep bottom is preposterous.

If this all plays out like I think it will
we going to have a running aggie joke for a really long time.

Ah, to be so young and innocent
you will find that women can be mad for no apparent reason.

RdrPwr may be young
But I would stop short of calling him innocent. Just read his posts!!
And yes, you are absolutely right, we can be mad for no apparent reason (at least not apparent to men!) at anytime!
You, blackbeard, are a wise man.

Oh, I think the cat is already out of the bag...

I think he does fine with girls on his own
Don’t think we need to worry about him, I just like giving him a hard time. He reminds me so much of my college days. Weren’t we all young & cocky back then? I know I was!!!
But love your idea of a high maintenance girl – wonder who would be higher maintenance between the two???
"My, what big ears you have!"- Little Red Riding Hood presumably to Tommy Tuberville
High maintenance girl....
is there another kind?
"As we continue to merely "talk about championships""
Ha!
Some are more maintenance than others, I can’t say we’re all worth it but lots of us are!
"My, what big ears you have!"- Little Red Riding Hood presumably to Tommy Tuberville
Right?
If I wanna go do something, i wanna go do it right then. Not wait hours on you to get ready. You’re with me already, why is it so important to get all fancied up? This is something I’ll never understand. THEN they wonder why we’re not spontaneous enough! We are, but when it takes 2 hours to get out of the house, everything has to be planned out.
Okay, three important girl tips for you
Tip #1 – When we ladies get “fancied up” (I call it “hittin’ myself with the pretty stick”) it’s not for you guys. We do it for ourselves. Okay, petty truth, sometimes we do it for other girls by looking way better than them to make them feel bad if they pissed us off.
Tip #2 – If you’re dating a girl that needs two hours to get ready I’d be a little concerned that she needs that much time to look presentable – does she bark? I kid, I kid!! Seriously, are you letting her know you think she’s hot even when she’s not fancied up?
Tip #3 – If you wanna go do something right then, then go. Alone. You’re already with her so count yourself lucky, she’s worth waiting for.
Gotta give you the spontaneous thing. You’re right. We want spontaneous. If you’re with someone who is not willig to go out of the house with her hair in a ponytail & no make up that can be a problem.
End of your girl schooling for the day. If you use this information for good & not evil, I will be willing to reveal more girl tips & secrets to you in the future.
P.S. I bet blackbeard will back me up here. He may not agree with it but he seems to “get it”.
"My, what big ears you have!"- Little Red Riding Hood presumably to Tommy Tuberville
For #1... I know that this is the standard issue answer
But that doesn’t make it right!
For #2, I wouldn’t date a girl that took 2 hours all the time. It just wouldn’t work out for me, because I get irritated waiting even 30 minutes when I randomly decide a road trip is in order. And of course I say that stuff!
And that brings us to #3, usually that would work. But how often does that start another fight all together? It’s a lose lose in this girl eat boy world. I’ll just stick to sitting back and laughing at it all.
Yeah, and build up
some good credit at your friendly neighborhood jewelery store ………………………….
I don't know...
…I’m more about the small gestures myself…all girls are different…the key is finding out what works for the girl your with…that day…
"My, what big ears you have!"- Little Red Riding Hood presumably to Tommy Tuberville
I would think that paying airfare/gas to travel the 400 miles
every other weekend at the very least is more than enough. I think so anyhow.
Well she should come see you too
but little gestures aren’t expensive
Plus you’re too young to settle down – juggle young man – juggle!!
"My, what big ears you have!"- Little Red Riding Hood presumably to Tommy Tuberville
She does, I just pay for it haha.
And I agree to an extent. However, If the right one comes along then why not? I’m working 50+ hours a week living in a place with nothing going for it…. Not much available to juggle!!! But chainsaw juggling can be fun
I'm teasing you
If you find or have found the right girl hang onto her!
"My, what big ears you have!"- Little Red Riding Hood presumably to Tommy Tuberville
Alrighty then .........
The Mama is coming out in me. If neither is committed enough to make a relocation, this trist is over. Same that $400.00 + … and get out more! I want to see your savings statements come Jan.
Ha, ha, love it!
Will you take charge of me too?
"My, what big ears you have!"- Little Red Riding Hood presumably to Tommy Tuberville
So because I wont quit work and she won't quit school...
It’s gotta end? There may be a way out after all!

No sense in paying for a distant memory. Mama knows best.
Rose, seriously, will you take charge of me too???

I suddenly have the urge to sing, “RdrPwr & ??? sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g…” only I don’t know her name. Maybe RdrPwrette?
(You know that rhyme don’t you?)
"My, what big ears you have!"- Little Red Riding Hood presumably to Tommy Tuberville
Ha ha please don't!
Yes I know that rhyme, we dirtied it up a bit when I was younger, but I forgot what we did to it.
Okay, now that you told me you don't want me to do it, you know that I'm going to, right?
Not right now, I’ll save it up & surprise you with it another time!
I am SHOCKED that you of all people would dirty up a song…really hard to believe.
