Hot take on Aggie Fans: Not Classy
Sep 9, 2019, 10:18 AM

Please, allow me to explain.
Some chucklehead in need of money, sold his tickets beside us, to Aggie fans. Heavens, it was pure He>ll! Let me tell you.
Before kickoff, this "gentleman" was trying to strike up a conversation with me. He starts off asking me who is my favorite Nascar driver. I tried to be nice and told him, we always go sailing on Sundays and don't keep up with "that stuff".
A few minutes later, he pulls a soggy ham sandwich out of his pocket. Not only did he chew with his mouth open, but with a mouthfull of wet bread and stringy deli meat, he elbows me in the ribs while practically yelling, "No way I'm paying those high prices at the concession stands! haha" I contemplated calling security, but making a scene is just not our style and I tried to just ignore him.
Ignoring him was easier said than done. He kept peppering me with questions as though I were some backwoods SEC fan. Good places to stay at Myrtle Beach, my favorite off road truck tires, is Busch Light available in 22oz cans here, the nearest Wal-Mart, what time I have to punch the time clock at work, etc etc etc. I'm sure you fellow Tiger fans know exactly what I'm talking about.
Finally, the team ran down the hill and gathered on the sideline. This roob, then grabs me by the back of the arm, tells me the Aggie entrance is just as good, and then proceeds to ask me if "I wanna chew?" I have no idea what he wanted me to chew, but I had enough. We gathered our things and went back to the motorhome. At least there we could enjoy the game on our flatscreen and not be bothered by such nonsense.
Never have I been so appalled by a visiting fanbase. I feel sorry for the other Tiger fans we left behind in the stadium who had to tolerate him and his barefoot kids. I fully regret the benefit of the doubt I afforded the TAM faithful.
Officially, I have them on par with those coot fans from Columbia.

The Soggy Ham Sandwich in the Pocket tradition is greatly revered at A&M.
You just have to learn to appreciate the pageantry of A&M football.

This is absolutely hilarious! Did you have a white table cloth and candles back at your "Motor home w/ your flat screen"? Guessing you had Charles drive you home at the end of your horrible day. What you did was ran into a good ole boy. Sounds like to me he was trying to be kind, course your inability to communicate with anyone other than upper class wouldn't allow you to see that! I'd say we have a lot of fans just like ole Billy Bob you just ran into. Good luck getting through the rest of the season there strong one!!!

At the end of that pathetic OP I just shook my head. I’m seeing more our fans ##### out like this. Really? Someone is a lil different and obviously was really into the moment and that’s a problem? I love people......come as you are man. Yeah chewing with you mouth open sucks, but I will never judge a person because some petty thing like that.......about called security?! Please!!!!

So you are judging the entire fan base due to the fact you had a hard time being hospitable to a single guest that was being gregarious?
I had close to a dozen around me that were all great guests.

Don't judge all fans of a school on the basis of one incident. We have some fans that can be just as obnoxious, I've sat beside some, not at Clemson but, at away games.

What you described is a truly demonic individual; no doubt a Psychopath, soulless and evil to his core. You should have shanked him in the bathroom, if you weren't carrying anything lethal to spike his drink with. Meh, live & learn-

I had a Clemson fan sitting on the row behind me spill his drink on me twice. I said something before the third time. It didn’t happen again and no apologizing at all
The Clemson family that sits on the row in front of us climbs over their seats and comes out our row. What’s up with that? I said something to them, but it was late in the game. I will have to wait until next game to see the results.
So, all teams have fans like that.

You said something to them because they climbed over the seats and came out your row? So glad you don't have more to worry about. Maybe your row is easier to navigate...

After three or four times that the six of them did it, yes it get a little annoying. If you are on the row, no problem.
By the way, they had no problem asking the people to move out of their seats. Can you imagine that!

Doesn't seem like that bad a guy to me. He reminds me of Clemson fans during the Ford era. I guess many Tigers today are above their raising. Honestly, I would rather sit beside that aTm fan than sit beside you.

Wild Wings down in Florida. There was an entire table full of Aggie fans sitting next to us, we are talking outdoor voices, wing bones all over the floor and one guy spit an entire chicken finger across the room after Muse got his interception. it was almost like these people grew up in a cave and had just recently adapted to indoor living.

There’s no way any fan can be the quintessential white trash you posted about. You mentioned “wet ham sandwich” eating with mouth open, NASCAR, liking the cheapest beer, going to Walmart, offering you a “chew.” If this is an honest attempt at humor then I get it. If not then I doubt these events actually happened. I doubt the type of fan that you implied was a lower class “roob””could afford a 1000+ miles round trip to Clemson. As a matter of fact, Texas A&M has one of the richest fans in all of CFB. I’m sure most folks spent money like water. I may be wrong but this reeks of satire.
