I love the traditions at Texas A&M University.
I groomed my son from his first day of existence to be an Aggie and enjoy and hold true to the additions.
But times change.
At this point in history should the traditions be re-evaluated?
Not all of them, just primarily being "Classy When We Win"?
I have absolutely no problem of being an absolute insufferable asshole to tu fans when we beat them. But do we need to be "good winners" when we beat other teams?
Do we need to be nice to anyone in the SEC? Or just to Sam Houston or Abilene Christian?
I vote for #2, all the way. Take 'em to the wall.
EDIT:
I didn’t mean that we should not extend hospitality and welcome fans from other schools. I think there is plenty of room for that.
But I also believe there is no obligation to avoid displays of disrespect if it is a reciprocal situation.

- Are we obligated to be nice to anyone?
- Or is it time to embrace the role of "The Hated" and wear the title proudly?
