Texas A & M Erects Billboard In Gainesville Declaring Itself “Cleanest Program In The SEC” Prior To Aggies-Gators Matchup http://deadspin.com/5940259/texas-a...ram-in-the-sec-prior-to-aggies+gators-matchup
There is no way Texas A&M had anything to do with that billboard. If it is truly real and not just an Internet Photoshop, then it had to have been done by some lunatic Aggie or some troll trying to make A&M look bad. That billboard is just r****ded.
A&M already said they did not put that up and are investigating. Looks like something TexAgs would do, ha.
Billboard pee-pee games man. The only thing that grinds my gears more is people talking about college bands, cheerleaders, and how nice or not nice a particular campus is.
Troll is the more likely. Everything about it reeks of trying to make A&M and their fans look bad. The big tell-signs are "Aggie Nation" and cleanest program. Even delusional fans know never to brag about what went down in the SWC.
Every program has stupid fans. I would be really surprised if it was a troll. A billboard for a month might run you a couple grand. It is not a photoshop though. http://chalkboard.blogs.gainesville...dnt-authorize-billboard-dissing-gators/?tc=cr
Even if Sumlin paid for the billboard I don't care. It's college football. It's a billboard. The buses have not been crapped on, swords have not been drawn, their coaches age hasn't been made fun of - it's a billboard...
You're right. It IS a billboard in a small town. Why does that not mean anything just because there is stuff that people could do that is worse? It's really classless which is why I doubt it was done by the school.
The whole college football schtick is things like this. That's what sets it apart. You get rabid fans doing strange/stupid things. We're talking about how classless it is... true - but that's college football. It gets dirty man. It makes the rivalries fun. It makes the opponent more villainous. It makes the game more heated. This isn't a big deal. It's merely a fun jab that. Y'all take it to a strange context. Everything has to be politically correct to the point where I'm borderline defending some rogue TAMU fan who took out an embarrassing billboard. We've got presidential candidates saying way worse things about our president and we're cringing over a billboard. If you think this is worth huffing and puffing over then you don't like college football, perhaps polo or fencing would be a more suitable sport.

They've trademarked the word Whoop? So if a UT fan mockingly posts WHOOP after an Aggie loss on here, they are in violation of the trademark?
More on the new championships that Aggie claims. http://deadspin.com/5941380/texas-a...onships-two-conference-titles-over-the-summer
I wouldn't expect anything different but apparently so. Actually, I don't think they care or it really matters if you say Whoop. Going to create a billboard? Yeah, they might have a problem with that.
