The latest humor in Texas Aggie sports
Three strikes and you're out. Today's error is strike 2, of those made in the past 90 days when it comes to Texas A entrance into the Southeastern Conference (SEC). "Hey Aggies, did you hear the one about the new SEC Texas Aggies Bulldogs Football hat?" Undoubtedly, this statement is bound to achieve viral status before day's end.
No surprise,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], since Aggies are legendary for "Good Bull," stories with the joke usually on "them" (including all current and former students of Texas A Occasionally there's cause for poking fun,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but today's latest major marketing error wasn't Texas A fault. Seriously,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's not. On the front is the "beveled" ATM logo known well to Aggies everywhere; on the side is the "adidas" logo that signifies the relationship between the Aggies and the beloved apparel company. On the back, however, it said "Bulldogs Football" rather than Texas A Football. Despite 14 days of preparing Aggie fans to become part of the SEC, and the SEC Media Days celebration, apparently someone at the SEC Athletics online store didn't realize that it was Mississippi State University whose mascot is a bulldog. Perhaps they were confused. Oh,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and it's also the mascot of Louisiana Tech.
Strike one, or the first error, was made by local business Aggieland Outfitters,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in their preparation of a t-shirt design reflecting the SEC states before expansion that included North Carolina, which is, of course,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not in the SEC. The business made a simple error but the media took it viral and since everyone loves a good Aggie joke,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], no one loves a good one better than Aggies. In fairness to Aggieland Outfitters, they posted an explanation and apology:
Many members of the media,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], especially those connected to other schools in Texas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], have insinuated that Texas A made these shirts, and that Texas A doesn't know geography. That's simply not true. Presently, their bio says, "Not the real Board of Regents. As if they could actually figure out Twitter." Their city of origin is listed as: "Wherever Rick Perry tells us." As of today the faux Regents had 1,645 tweets and they have 2,309 followers. The photo in the upper corner shows the photos of the (real) current Texas A Regents, arranged in a "Brady Bunch"-type photo array.
The faux Regents follow only nine fellow Twitter-ers, which appear to be (most of them) send-ups: "Rick Perry-ish,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Rick Perry Facts," "Team Rick Perry," "Rick Perry News," "Not the Gov of TX," and "RickPerryPR," "Texas A for Perry" and "Office of Gov Perry," as well the unequivocal "Rick Perry's Hair."
All of this would fall into the category of just typical Texas political and topical education-based humor, with the exception of a recent post related to the new Texas A football uniform. Aggies take their football seriously, and frankly, lately it's been an unqualified media circus for anything related to Texas A football, and the SEC.
If you think that's not the case,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], note the recent pay-to-view "12th Man TV" web site devoted to seeing "live" the unveiling of the football uniform on July 12, for diehard Aggie fans. Following this came a rousing discussion of whether or not the "T" in the "ATM" should be beveled. Seriously. Feelings run long and strong regarding beveling. Google and see for yourself.
Of course, the ads on the mock uniform include all the Aggie media partners,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not that they'd all appreciate their ad placement.
But it's all in the name of humor and "good bull" that Aggies seek and find on the Internet daily any opportunity to smile. It may also be time for Educational Administration Professor Emeritus and archivist of Aggie humor,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Dr. John R. Hoyle, Aggie Class of '57,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to fire up the computer for a future book, "Good Bull: Volume 4."
Football season begins one month from today when the Aggies travel to Shreveport, Louisiana, to face the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs, not to be confused with the Mississippi State Bulldogs, who the Aggies will play on November 3rd, not to be confused with the Texas A Bulldogs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which don't exist, except on a few discontinued hats, by now likely safely tucked away in a waste container. Welcome to the SEC, Ags.
