After a long hard battle - bitter defeat

Sadly on Friday my old College Football team A&M went down to 111 year rivals Texas Longhorns.

The game which included some great plays and gave the Longhorns a scare, finished 40-29 in Texas favour.

Brought back great memories of the A&M games, midnight yell practice and the cheergirls giving their all for the game.

86,200 fans at Kyle Field gave the game some atmosphere.
Sorry I missed it.

    Three members of my family and some real good friends are Longhorns, so it was a great game. Also I go to a once rival school of both of Texas and A&M, University of Houston, but our football program doesn't have the massive funding/support to hang with those two anymore.

    stayed in the corp dorms for a week while I was in college and visiting for a student government conference held at A&M. It wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't got back at 4am most nites

    I did post grad studies in System Safety and Industrial Hygiene. Their Engineering School combined resources from Defence, Aerospace, Chemical and Nuclear, which fitted my scholarship need at the time.

    In those days ('76/77), computer links to NASA, two nuclear reactors on campus, a leading fire school and traditions of the military acadamy (more grads than West Point) helped make up for the Aggie jokes.

    aha! that explains soo much! While the rest of the US was in the throes of the disco era you where dealing with Texans trying to figure out how to emotionally cope with John Travolta and still wear boots and a cowboy hat.... say, did you happen to run into George W back in the day?
