Student’s Father Still Thinks He’s a Little Bitch

Texas A&M University students have noticed an uptick in angry online posts about campus traditions. While entitled Old Ags complaining is nothing new, the increased volume has many students worried. The Mugdown recently conducted its own investigation into the phenomenon. 

William Overton Jr., an industrial distribution major, sat down with Mugdown interviewers after admitting he was user “oLd4rmyisd3ad.”

“It’s my dad,” Overton said. “I laugh at his jokes, I agree with his rants, and I keep my mouth shut when he makes fun of my fellow students. I do everything right, so why can’t he just respect me?” Overton then burst into tears, blaming his generation for depriving him of the college experience that real men had in the 80s.

It seems that many students share in Overton’s behavior.  After some digging, it turned out that nearly half of the most sanctimonious posters were actually current students.  It would seem that many of these students choose to win favor with the Old Ags by imitating their talking points.

The Mugdown reached out to William Overton Sr., for comment.  “It’s pathetic really,” said the elder Overton. “He’s my son, and I love him, but I can’t stand what he’s become. I want a son who has the courage to disagree with me when he thinks I’m wrong, not a yes man. Kids need to stop worrying about what us old people have to say and enjoy their time in college.”
