I came home yesterday to find one of the oak trees in my front yard decorated with hanging beer bottles and cans, christmas lights and assorted women's underwear.

There on the front porch was my 3 roomates, beers in hand, "How'd ya like our tree?"

I glanced over to the neighbor's house and noticed the 5 and 6 year olds playing in the driveway, grumbled and went inside.

I fear I've been the target of an involuntary white trashing.

be glad they're underwear not condoms

Take a picture and post it.

Aye, please post a pic. This is a must see event

That's a damned funny quote in its own right. I agree with the others who say that pictures are required!

Adex, you must post a pic! The elder Aggie decrees it.

*star trek speak* Make it so

Adex is an Aggie?

All Texans are Aggies...

More than likely they'd shoot him in the head as it is about on par with taking a last beer.

No.

Did you know that there are three types of Aggies?
Those who can count and those who can't.

How do you get a Texas A & M graduate off your front porch?
You pay for your pizza!

How can you tell an Aggie airliner when it's snowing?
They're the ones with chains on the propellers.

How many Aggies does it take to eat an armadillo?
Three. One to do the eating, and two to watch for cars.

An Aggie happens across a professor who is staring intently into an aquarium. The Aggie, says, "Professor, what are you doing?"
The professor answers, "I'm attempting mental telepathy with this fish. You see, if my mind is stronger than theirs, I can control their thoughts. Umm, why don't you try it!" The Aggie, certain of his ability to successfully control the fish, stares into the tank for a few seconds. Then, all of the sudden, his eyes start bugging and his mouth makes a little 'o' shape like he's pushing water through his gills.

What do you call an Aggie graduate?

Boss





tehee!

Yes, I'm an Aggie.

For those who don't know there are two really competitive schools in this state who have had a vigorous rivalry over the past century.

Texas A&M was established first. A few years later they wanted to start up a new school in the state capital. As a part of the efforts to create one centralized state university, one of the state senators suggested that Texas A&M be shut down and turned into a mental institution. Well the founder of A&M who happened to be a senator in the room that day got so pissed off he stormed the podium and knocked the speaker out. He then asked if any other senators he needed to deal with.




I suppose that was the birth of the rivalry between Texas A&M and the University of Texas.

Over the years the two schools have pulled stunts on each other, mostly revolving around the annual football game against each other.

One year A&M beat UT 13-0 in a football game. Some of the aggies were so happy about this outcome that they stole UT's mascot (a cow) and branded 13-0 into its hide. Well the UT folk couldn't have this embarissing mark on their mascot so they added a few bars and modified it into the name "BEVO". And thus, UT's mascot got its name.



For the longest time A&M would build a huge bonfire right before the annual football game. They went nuts doing it and built these bonfires to impressive sizes.





There are a ton of stories about the stunts played between the schools and the various traditions.

It's a culture thing down here.

don't they let the Core Cadets (or whatever the name of the paramilitary organization is) handle the discipline and stuff on the campus?

i just remember hearing some news item about them kicking some girls asses who ran onto the field following a big win. Probably only a microcosm of the overall event. Just struck me as a strange system, letting the kids handle the discipline.

Sadly if its green its most likely a memorial to some war.

Kyle field is supposedly a memorial to war vets. Thus the only people allowed on the field are players or band members etc.

The Corps usually has some members down on the field lines as an honor guard or something.

Anyway whenever a team tries to storm the field after a big win they allways end up being attacked by the Corps members.

Kinda nutty if you ask me.

Too many fucking hicks in "Aggieland." UT is where Texans go when they are afraid of the ignorance rubbing off.

Hard to stay neutral on this subject isn't it? =)

Oddly i have close family members who are alumni of both schools.

Oh yeah and I want PICTURES, email them to me if you need em hosted heh

Didn't some people get killed a couple years ago when one of those giant piles of wood for one of their bonfires came crumbling down?

I'd say it's time to think of a new tradition.

Back on topic: post pics of tree!

fair, yes it collapsed, and yes there were a few casualities.

subsequently there is still a bonfire every year, but it must be held off campus, and is not school sanctioned.

For years, the Aggies have been made fun of for their agricultural abilities with regards to sheep. Here is a pretty good example:

Man...looking at those pics brings back great memories. *wipes a tear*

I miss putting pennies at the base of Sul Ross' feet to wish me luck on an exam. I miss taking a break from studying to hang out on the field and watch bonfire being built or to just walk around campus. I miss those times I snuck in the boy's dorm room and got busted twice and written up too...those bastards. I miss programming in the CE bldg late at nights but the incredible joy I felt when my program compiled...NO ERRORS! I miss dorm life of being surrounded by girls and having access to each and every one if their closets. ^^ I miss being a Fish Camp Counselor. I miss when I walked across that stage in front of two thousand people(??) and the sadness/relief of getting my diploma but leaving the town and people I grew to love. Finally...I miss the Chicken.
