I'm fairly certain I remember the tower being orange that night and then lit up with the number one when the team returned. 

Yup.  They light the tower orange after every victory.  But there was no #1 on it that night.

It was. The aggy was a beacon of truth telling despite his wife wising up and leaving his dumbass.

Yeah, he had to come up with a reason WHY a red ass would be around campus after a Texas National championship win... tsip X wife was best he could come up with in his creative writing efforts. Never really explained why he married a Tsip nor WHY he was in the mecca of gay that is Austin but.. I mean, creative minds have limits.

I know every time the tower lit orange I sang The Eyes to the tower in a trance like cult state with all my friends. Particularly when we won a National championship. In fact, me and a huge group of friends chartered a helicopters to pick us up on the golf course around the Rose Bowl after winning. The helicopters took us to a private charter 737 that flew direct to Austin. We all jumped in my friends various skydiving planes, jumped over campus and landed just in time for the lighting of the tower that night. It was a close call, cost millions and not all of us made it, but it was worth it.

There were lots of Texas fans down there that night.  The tower was a central point, being in the middle of campus, being lit for victory, and also immediately adjacent to The Drag where tons of people were congregating.  Many impromptu renditions of "The Eyes" broke out all around, and I probably participated in one or more of them standing at the base of the Tower.

But at no point was anyone singing TO the Tower.  That's just some pure made up shit from a complete dork who is obviously embarrassed that his school is widely viewed as a cult, or at the very least, a bunch of loser weirdos.

IF that happened, and we all know it didn't, it pales in comparison on the weird scale to:

Jazz jars

Squeezing 

Humping 

Yell leaders 

Yell practice 

Fish camp

Dead dog scoreboard 

Dog out ranks all humans in cosplay fake army

 

I'm sure I'm leaving out plenty 

Jazz Jars would be a top notch band name for a jazz band made up of self-aware 2%ers

with the season over i can comment on something i noticed this season.....

i didn't watch their cupcake games, but in their fbs games, there seemed to be a lack of propaganda talking points about "aggy traditions" and specifically no mention of the fictitious 12th man story

since the divorce every sec game they played on cbs began with slobbering fellatio of the gill fable as if it were factual and true

i didn't hear it once this year

TAMU has never played a postseason game for a NC, or towards a NC, not in the Alliance Bowl Series, the BCS, the four team CFP nor the 12 team CFP. I count 28 teams that have: Miami, FSU, Florida, UGA (who really took a while to get there), Clemson, VT, PSU, tOSU, Michigan, Nebraska, Auburn, Alabama, LSU, OU, Texas, TCU, SMU, USC, ASU, Tennessee, UW, Oregon, BSU, Notre Dame, Indiana, Michigan State, and Cincinnati. Is that right?

For all Ag delusions of stature and grandeur, that’s where the Ags slot- the bottom half of P4.

It’s funny that TCU and SMU have been more successful than aggy.

SMU’s 2024 season puts them past TAMU, which is awesome.

TCU passed TAMU a very long time ago in every metric this century (10-win seasons, bowls that matter, conference championships, top-10 finishes, top-5 finishes, etc.).  

TAMU does lead both of them in stadium size and recruiting class rankings.

And why is that? You’re so close little guy… you can do it

Maybe he can fill us in on the non-culty tradition they have when they win a national championship

BTW, since aggy likes to use random time periods to talk about their success, this random block of time is phenomenal...

This thread is the quintessential aggy-ness. The thread is a lot to process but it's a great laugh.

"Regarding the football thugs and Sully, that was the straw that broke the camels back for me. I love being an Aggie. I identify as an Aggie, but after that incident it was clear to me that the values I was taught as a cadet in the early 80's are no long taught at TAMU.
I will never donate to the university again. That season was the first time I didn't pull for the Aggies. I give to the Rudder Association only.
The university is a shell of what it once was. You youngsters don't know what it was like back in the 80's.
You bought your date a mum for every home game as every home game is a homecoming. Girls dressed up for games. The band played loud throughout the game. It is different in a very negative way now. TAMU is now the University of Texas in College Station. That makes this old Ag very sad."

Well, a lot of Klan members wistfully wish for the “good old days” too.

Well, back then getting axe handled in a steam shower had a different meaning and it was never done with women back then.

I went to HS with a guy who joined the corps turds in '79. He told me about beating cadets with an ax handle. They would take cadets in the woods and either tie them to a tree or a group would hold thm against one, then strip them and beat their ass with it.

To be fair they deserved the punishment for being dumb asses

Honest question: what is the story about how they treated the victim’s families? I thought they all loved the memorial and all want the bonfire brought back to campus, blah, blah, blah.

A grief stricken Aggie is still an Aggie.

I remember a guy throwing a nerf football to his dog on the drag. Cool dog.

TAMU used sovereign immunity to avoid paying damages to the victims’ families.

I thought they paid some undisclosed settlements.

I thought they capped their payment at $50k each, but it turns out the families sued and got a little more:

What is $2.1 M, less attorney fees, divided by 12?

I’m pretty sure the Ags paid more for the memorial to the collapse.
