The insecurity of sip fans today, is amazing. I went to my buddy's deer lease this past weekend to help him get ready for bow season. As it turns out everyone on that lease are die hard sip fans. All of them were t-shirt fans and I'm pretty sure not one of them has ever set foot on the tu campus.
Anyway, as soon as they found out I was an Aggie, they pounced. It start off as good nature ribbing about each others coaches, etc. That is until I said "Yall are lucky you don't have us on your schedule anymore"! Holy sh!t, you would have thought I stood up and shot the guys dog! It went from good nature to everyone on their feet, bowing up. One of them even said that we had a cup cake bowl game and would have our arses handed to us this year and they were going playing for a natty.
With blood pumping and veins popping out, I was about to remind him of tu's bowl game against the last place SEC west team, when I remembered where I was and was a guest in their house, so I bit my tongue and increased the pace of beer drinking.
While I stewed, I was in awe of what I perceived as incurable arrogance, and it occurred to me it was utter insecurity. They are like Apollo Creed after Rocky I. They simply do not have the capacity to understand that they are now the #4 team in Texas. I started to feel sorry for them, but then just thought, "F*ck'em, couldn't happen to a better group of people" and enjoyed my cold Bud Light, next to the warm glow of the Big Dumpster Fire.
