Agreed. I have good friends (and family) that are legit Horns and it’s fun banter.
Like with politics, it’s the people that make it a litmus test character issue that ruin it.

Some my closest friends are horns. All really good guys.
In the past A&M was the country kids school and Texas was the city kids with a large portion of silver spoon kids.
These days both draw from the same pool of big city kids, although I'm sure A&M still gets a lot more country kids just due to the Ag school degrees.
All my UT friend are uber conservative, but they would all readily admit the school is very liberal today (except for the Greek system which houses most of the "normal" kids).
Aggies all lament how liberal A&M has become, but on a scale of conservative to liberal we are still a very far right leaning institution and probably one of the most conservative public schools in the country. But not near as much as in the past. When, I went here I think Reagan carried like 80+% of the student vote as did Bush. Today it's probably 50:50.
We like to give each other a ton of crap.
