That is just stupid. Sometimes it amazes me how blind people can be. Those kind of people want you to help others...as long as you do it their way.The YELL LEADERS wanted to do a white out for the Katrina issue, but the libs on campus thought it was too RACIAL. The deal was to pay $$ to wear white and the proceeds would go to Katrina relief. I do not know much more about it than that. (by the way, just so another thread does not erupt, I am non-partisan).
The coolest thing I have ever seen in a football stadium...
No arguments there. There was some doubts on campus leading up to it if everyone would go with the flow on that or not but it was friggin' awesome to have 80,000 show up color coordinated by deck.
The Oklahoma State fans even were scrambling to track down the right color shirts on gameday, very cool of them.
AHF...as an Alum...what is your feeling about no "official" Bonfire?
And I was dissing tu and those associated who TOOK THE THREAD OFF COURSE...
thought you were just talking venues.And I was dissing tu
Here's the thing, aggies aren't bad until they start to talk about UT. I actually went to visit my best friend(aggie) in C.S. and I joined the annual fountain hopping event. We even climbed the walls and walked all over Kyle Field. My friend and I flashed the sections!!! :p It was loads of fun!! That whole night I got a taste of what the aggies do at yells, and they sang their songs all night too. I told them I was a longhorn fan and they said it was ok as long as I wasn't bringing any more with me.
I was. But others began piping in OFF THREADthought you were just talking venues.
you should come to our Spurs GTG's! :pMy friend and I flashed the sections!!! It was loads of fun!!
relax man, I was kidding. People are going to go off topic, it just happens. I was only joking but isn't dissing UT also going off thread?I was. But others began piping in OFF THREAD
Short story on those lines... right after 9/11 everyone put up American flags hanging from their dorm balconies, windows, etc. I mean EVERYONE. The libby asshole residence life director issued a statement that all American flags needed to be taken down or face penalty up to and including expulsion from the school, because the flag *could offend foreigners.*The YELL LEADERS wanted to do a white out for the Katrina issue, but the libs on campus thought it was too RACIAL. The deal was to pay $$ to wear white and the proceeds would go to Katrina relief. I do not know much more about it than that. (by the way, just so another thread does not erupt, I am non-partisan).
I was in student government at the time, by noon the day he issued this statement the presidents of about 80% of the university orgs. had all called the university president to complain, who was non-commital on rescinding the edict. Well, we turned around got ahold of the governor's office (Rick Perry is an A&M grad), his secretary couldn't believe what we were telling her. So they called the president's office, and the gov. threatened to round up the Board of Regents to force the president to step down if he didn't rescind it.
5 PM that day residence life issued another statement saying sorry, we goofed.
I hate all the PC bull , unfortunately it even seems to be creaping into one of the great conservative schools in the country and trumping common sense at times.

Stupid question about the white out...why didn't you Aggies do it in maroon as soon as they found out this was going to be some sort of offensive PC horse issue?
Have tons of fun JB! Be sure to check out the Dixie Chicken after the game and like Hussker said, hit up midnight yell the night before the game.
They already do maroon. If I'm not mistaken all homegames are considered "Maroon Out"
JB...you should take Mandy to the game as a "special assistant"!
I saw a guy in the store today with a Maroon Out shirt and it had a specific date on it. Not sure how they run it.They already do maroon. If I'm not mistaken all homegames are considered "Maroon Out"
I know there are new Maroon Out shirts put out each year, not sure about specific dates though. I think I still have mine from 2000-01 somewhere all faded and stuff hehe
and you will keep it always!
Now I know what to get you for Christmas!
HAHA Of course you know that no one was in those sections at that time of night and we were drunk as . I think we hit all the fountains too and there were like 15 of us.
Of course I will! Half of my tshirt collection is Aggie stuff...the other half Spursand you will keep it always!
Now I know what to get you for Christmas!
Everyone wears maroon all the time (hopefully). The Maroon Out shirts come about because every year they pick a game to be the Maroon Out game where the class councils sell shirts to generate money for class gifts, and it's generally the biggest home game of the year.
It's kind of a weird phenomena - it's loud all the time but the Maroon Out games are usually on your ears. I don't know if everyone just tailgates a little harder before those or what...
They are switching to a maroon shirt for the Katrina relief fund, it will be for next week's game against Texas State...
nice
Hey AHF, you post at TexAgs right?

I rarely post there, it's where every village sends their "one".
I lurk, post sometimes on the bball board (AG 2000), and occassionally on the job forum trying to help people out.
I usually don't head over there till basketball season (MrsGinobili), but I did check out today's game thread and I remembered seeing a thread about the Katrina shirts. I was just curious
