Please tell me Aggy is not this stupid...

But I am afraid they really are.

Best Academics in the SEC?

Cleanest program in the SEC?

Between that and the Missouri Tiger saying that watching Georgia is like watching old man football, both teams are apparently trying to come in with a splash.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure UGA or UF will be able to offer the proper SEC greeting both teams deserve.

I am afraid you are right. IF UF chokes, I am going to hear it at work - how Aggy is good for the SEC...

Brace yourself: A&M wins that game.

Like I said - probably. But I will just remind them that FL is not even in the West...

Tell them they damn sure better win and that the west is like 50 something and 4 over the east in the last 3 or so years...

I saw this on EDSBS earlier and thought it was kind of funny. I think A&M is wondering aimlessly trying to find a rival/someone to jab with TX out of the picture after jumping from the Big12. The thing that they don't realize is that rivalry in the SEC transcends happy friendly billboards. If an A&M fan ever puts that up in Tuscaloosa they better better avoid every single Krystals in the southeast...

I don't think that the SEC is ready for the kind of "humor" and "pranks" that A&M is known for. As a matter of fact, somebody will end up getting their ass kicked over some of their b.s. It will be really funny as long as it isn't me.

I think this was done as a joke by someone who really wants to make Aggie look bad. Notice no trademarks were used. Wouldn't surprise me if Prevail and Ride were behind it or someone of the like.

Then there's this:

I see a new meme trend beginning from this..

RWS · « **Reply #13 on:** September 05, 2012, 02:00:25 PM »

I wish they would do this against a team that actually has a decent shot at beating them. It's like taunting Ole Miss at this point.

In the run-up to Texas A&M hosting Florida in its first SEC game, a billboard appeared in Gainesville boasting "The Best Academics & Cleanest Program in the SEC." Texas A&M spokesperson Jason Cook clarified the school had no connection to the billboard. "This billboard was not placed by Texas A&M University, and it is certainly not reflective of how we have handled our transition into the SEC," Cook said in a statement. ... Texas A&M has tremendous respect for the University of Florida, and we look forward to hosting the Gators in our first SEC football game this weekend." The billboard, which belongs to Clear Channel Outdoor, was later removed and replaced with an advertisement for the owner.

If TAMU had nothing to do with it, then how can they have it removed?

Supposing a 3rd party bought the billboard, I'd bet that said 3rd party would be fucking irate if its billboard was removed.

Did TAMU have it removed? I just read that it was removed by the billboard owner, Clear Channel. It could have ran its course. Who knows. But it appears it did it's job.

Not if TAMU name was on the billboard without their approval. I would think TAMU would have every right to have that taken down.

I didn't see their name on the billboard.

And I didn't see where they had it removed.

This was done by a 3rd party....and not someone who supports TAMU. Not even Aggie is this dumb.

No TAMU logo or other (known) trademarks.

[Said without review of the contract] I wouldn't think that CC can remove a billboard (that has presumably been paid for) simply because someone complains, in the absence of explicitly offensive material.
