A few years ago when all of my sister's kids were attending A&M we decided to go watch a game with all of them. I had been to a couple of Kyle field games in the 90's including the 1993 game where Texas and a&m were both undefeated in conference play going in to the thanksgiving game (loud but not special) It was my wife's (no pics) first time to witness all this and she had kept hearing over and over from aggies she knew, customers etc how "epic" and "loud" it all was going to be and "OH! you have to watch the band at halftime! Don't go to the bathroom at halftime." We met some of her customers at their tailgate, they were all nice enough decent guys to host us. Listening to her recount her experience, she thought the "that's another fighting texas aggy first down!" after every first down was somehow more annoying than boomer sooner after every first down. "Sawing 'em off" 6 times a game (against New Mexico State) was gooberish but her biggest laugh is about the band and the cross t or whatever aggies call it (you know, the things that the computer program says is impossible to do or some such lore) She was thoroughly unimpressed and said she has been more entertained by high school marching bands in the past. But that is who they are. They are legends in their own mind and if the world could just experience it, they'd all awestruck by all the awesomeness that is aggieland.
