As a lifelong Bowling Green Falcons fan from a multi-generational family of proud alumni, I wanted to take a moment to extend my deepest thanks to everyone at Texas A&M for the unforgettable experience we had during our game on September 21, 2024. While the Aggies came out on top on the scoreboard, the true victory was the warmth and hospitality shown to us visitors from start to finish.
From the moment we arrived on your breathtaking campus, we were in awe. The beauty of Texas A&M is more than just in its architecture or sprawling green spacesβit's in the spirit of its people. We couldnβt help but feel a deep admiration for your proud military history, something that truly sets A&M apart. The reverence for tradition, the honoring of service, and the sense of duty embedded in the fabric of your university are qualities to be admired and respected by any visitor.
Our game day was made even better by the hospitality we received at every turn. Whether it was at the tailgate parties where Aggie fans invited us to share in the food and festivities or the kindness of students and locals who pointed us in the right direction when we found ourselves lost trying to find the stadiumβwe felt like we were among friends.
The Aggie fans are something specialβenthusiastic, loud, and supportive. Your 12th Man is truly a force, and witnessing that energy in Kyle Field was nothing short of spectacular. The team played a fantastic game, and while we would have loved to leave with a win, we couldnβt help but be impressed by the sportsmanship and skill on display.
And a special shout-out to the wholesome and friendly nature of the women we met on campusβA&M is filled with people who represent the best of what a university can foster in its students: kindness, pride, and a deep sense of community.
Although my roots will always be in Bowling Green, one thingβs for sureβIβll be telling future generations of Falcons to consider A&M when they look for their own college experience. You have earned a special place in our hearts, and weβll always remember this trip with fondness.
Gig 'em Aggies, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
With gratitude,
A Proud Bowling Green Fan
