Damn. Just spent two hours catching up on this thread. So, my wife (two UT degrees herself) and I have been utterly amused and surprised by how this has gone down. We have always known that aggy is a bunch of broken brains, with a completely warped worldview and an utter psychosis when it comes to their little brother syndrome. But even knowing that….the aggy reaction here has been hysterical, and just flat-out embarrassing. It would be one thing if they voiced their displeasure privately, and even used it to extract some concessions/favorable treatment. That’s what a rational actor would do. But not aggy. They just can’t read the room to save their lives. Instead, they are having a full-blown temper tantrum, in front of the whole world. They are the toddler, throwing himself on the floor in the middle of the restaurant, screaming and crying and pounding the floor, shouting nonsense, and smearing shit all over himself. Every person in the restaurant - including people who never even knew he existed till this moment - is watching the spectacle and thinking “Jesus, get a grip, man. You’re humiliating yourself.” It’s both hysterical and horrific to watch. I’m torn between laughing until I can’t breathe, and wanting to slap the shit out of them and say “get ahold of yourself! You’re a goddamned university, start acting like it!” And then…it now seems like they’re going to adopt a “wait, we loved this idea all along” stance? Even though the whole world just watched their tantrum in the middle of the room? It’s just….perfect. Aggy: zero days, zero hours, and zero minutes without being a national embarrassment. But goddamn….at least they’re goddamned comedy gold.
