I'm guessing there's $400 worth of gold in that ring, max. I need to drop everything, and start selling shiny shit to Aggy.
Mark my words..

Some aggy will buy that ring and make a BFD (it won't be anonymous, you can be sure) about giving it back to Melvin since "aggy helps aggy"...and then this aggy gets honored at halftime for being an aggys aggy. WHOOP!

Man, you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel when you want to spend the day in Hearne.

My dad used to bang some twins from Hearne back in the day. They used to drive to Austin for him and one twin didn’t know that my dad was banging the other.

May 19 Mustafa Kemal Atatürk lands at Samsun on the Black Sea coast, beginning the Turkish War of Independence

Jun 28 Treaty of Versailles, ending WWI and establishing the League of Nations, is signed in France

 1939 is their only championship. They made the other 2 up a couple of years back.

Man. That was the list-eater special. I forgot that game started at like 10am; turned it on an hour later and it was 28-0.

Meanwhile, I had a long conversation with Frank Denius in the lobby of the team hotel in Century City before the Rose Bowl and the Cotton Bowl was playing on TV. Mack, Deloss, Earl, and lots of big wigs were there, and everyone was laughing at the poor aggies.

Of course, Bullitt knows how stupid aggy is and one poor dufus will probably pay it.....and believe they got a great deal!

What they’ll do is buy it and give it back to him. He’ll get to sell it twice.

 I remember that game because I worked it. New Year’s Day had to get to the stadium by 5 AM to start getting everything ready. Then at nine the gates open and all of aggy comes in talking about Fran this and hullabaloo that.  On break I would go over where aggy was sitting because that’s where my concession stand was (end zone opposite of the Jumbotron) and yell the rocky top song every time Tennessee scored. The look of disappointment on aggy made my day!

I can only dream of telling these types of stories to my son so he raised with respectful ideals towards women!

The latest Shutdown Fullcast attempts to match every major program to its equivalent rapper. Two of the three hosts said UT was Jay-Z because we have lots of money and our success was a long time ago. And lots of their matches were lame stretches.

But they saved aggy for last. They said it was their easiest match and the only one that all three of them, acting independently, agreed on. aggy is Insane Clown Possee.

They say whoop. They have uniforms. They have strange folklore. Overalls are a big thing. There's that whole us against the world, from the outside you can't understand shit...It really is perfect.

Texas 42

TCU 7

Houston 7

Baylor 3

Rice 2

Texas Western (now UTEP) 1

UT-Pan American (now UTRGV) 1

A&M 0

Tech 0

It really looks like they should reorient the field so that the biggest blocks of stands are along the sidelines instead of the end zones. Dumb.

Well as I understand it, if they'd been willing to build the stadium next to the current space they could have had a perfectly excellent modern venue.

But obviously moving the field would ruin their traditions so that got vetoed and the Donkey Kong stands were retrofitted around the old field instead.

Don't forget about the fictitious aggy claim of XII conference championship of 1997, after getting it up the ol' cornholio by Nebraska 54 to 15...

Texas A&M Joins SEC, Claims Two More National Titles, Two More Conference Titles

by Dillon Cheverere
Sep 06, 2012

Notice the two extra natties and two extra conference championships added during the most recent stadium facade facelift? The photo at the top was taken very recently, as members of the Southeastern Conference. The “before” photo was taken when the Ags were just going through the motions in the Big 12 – you know, just the World War II era, one-natty also-ran that regularly found itself at the business end of many jokes.

It’s just that these jokes are writing themselves now. Do you want an example of just how ridiculous this is? Click here to watch a recap of the 1997 Big 12 Championship game, a game where Nebraska stomped the Aggies out 54 to 15. Texas A&M is now claiming the 1997 conference title. I mean c’mon, man.

It was even added to their official website.

Texas A&M is the iPhone - a big brand. We always hear about how new phones are "iPhone Killers" but never kill the iPhone. While these iPhone killers may be more impressive pieces of technology that are more powerful and functional, the iPhone still outsells them big time.

I'd rather win 8 games every year and yet be tops in the nation in attendance, recruiting, and national recognition, than win 11 games and have limited appeal...

Every program has a critical mass of homer idiots.  But wow.
