Freshmen at Large - Cristine Mayer

In the past couple of weeks it seems like all of a sudden there is a “huge rivalry” between A&M and Baylor. OK, wait, let me rephrase: Baylor seems to think there is a huge rivalry between A&M and Baylor. Countless anti-A&M Facebook groups have been started by Baylor students on the basis that A&M isn’t a real school because we never win anything. First off, I think our soccer and basketball teams alone can prove those accusations wrong. Second, Baylor is telling us we don’t win anything? Right, ridiculous. I thought the people in Austin were unfriendly, but Waco is even worse. A lot of them were just downright cold to Aggies. Then again, if I lived in Waco, I’d probably act the same way. I never thought I would miss College Station as much as I did last weekend while I visited Waco. It’s just too bad that Baylor fans are trying to create such a hostile relationship between the two schools when it isn’t even a traditional rivalry. All in all, (begin cheesy Aggie pride line) it made me realize you just can’t bring down the Aggie spirit (end cheesy Aggie pride line).
