First game back at Pile Field...

NR,

Have some compassion. Those swords are to protect the corp from the vicious warbirds at Rice

 

Jarheads may eat crayons for breakfast, but they laugh their asses off at the nonsense that comes out of College Station. My best friend in high school went to the Marines and did 4 years to get his GI Bill. Then he went to A&M. He stayed two semesters and transferred to UT. That was 40 years ago, he still tells some great stories about his time there. Seems the boys in the corps don't take too kindly to former military members that don't join up. He had to be careful leaving his dorm room each morning. They'd leave horse **** piled up in front, smear it on the door knob, etc.

 

If the game is at Kyle, will they get Listeater back to handle student ticket distribution?

 

Thanks 83, I had forgotten about her, weird part was that she was not embarrassed about eating the list of students who had already signed up for tickets.

 

uta: it seemed like a point of pride for her.

Only in the aggieverse.

 

List Eater was one of the greatest moments in internet history. The guys at Sooner Farks on Sooner Fans did some awesome work with her.

 

I didn't remember that she looked like the unholy child of Mario Batali and Rush Limbaugh.

She certainly achieved her fifteen minutes, though. Good for her. We all want be remembered, right?

 

Thanks for the memories. How quickly we forget:
* aggy wanting to forget a school that has never existed
* aggy making up a team - Texas aggies that does not exist
* aggy marching into a block"T" which is the letterman symbol of The University of Texas

 

I guess youtube cleaned up that video. The original was when the Aggie halftime show wound up in a disorganized cluster in the corner of the field and the "leaders" stopped the show and had them leave the field. The MOB began blowing whistles and threw the Aggie band off. Afterwards the MOB had to get security to escort them away from the Aggie boyscouts and their swords.

 

Remember the boy scouts Also attacked the SMU cheerleaders when they dared to step on the Pyle Field turf.

 

Viper,

Remember when the Aggies refused to let Smokey to come to Kyle Field because the vibration from the firing caused the plumbing to bust? Then they turn around and bring in that cannon that busted pipes in Grimes County.

 

Many of you bring out good points that support my earlier rant about this obnoxious cult circus of AH's in Collie Station...

 

How about throwing horse **** on the LHB on a road game. Need a lifeline on the details....

 

I don't know how that I forgot about that. They are very experienced at whining about sonethibg, but then trying to out-do the same thing.

 

'Poo Flinger achieved legendary status for that little act, at least for a little while. As I remember, Poo Flinger was a diminutive fella. 5'6" tops, looked like two cousins mated to create him...

 

^^^^ real tough guy.

Team cannot win on the field... fling poo!

 

YEAH!! Tell 'em how the world rotates Worster!

 

Wheel of fortune category..same name..the old joke what’s round, brown, and lays on the ground..
Gomer’s Pile Field

Sorry, I still find humor in looking back at junior high jokes.

 

Poo Flinger, Listeater, ceremonial sabre wielding loonies, mason jars filled with bodily fluids, heroic defenses of other people's stadiums from goal post wielding 8th graders...

You have to marvel at Aggies' ability to always keep it classy.

 

My personal favorite aggy story.

During the early 90's I attended a game with my girlfriend (now Mrs Vol Horn) and her parents where aggy beat us pretty good if I remember correctly. She had a bit of an edge on her when it came to aggy attitude and I was still trying to figure out how to best "navigate" that. After that game there were two corps turds walking near us as we were heading to our car and they decided to talk **** so my wife made an immediate retort about them visiting their favorite sheep. Almost immediately and before I realized what was really going on they both put their hands on their sabers turning to us and just as quickly her dad rushed up in their face and said, "If you pull that out I'm gonna take it away from you and shove it up your ***!!". They both shut up and quietly walked away. That was my very first and last lesson I needed to know how to deal with fake army.

 

Excellent story, Vol.

My first indelible memory of aggiedom and its peculiar UT obsession was from my freshman year at UT. The horns did pretty well, ranking in the top ten most of the year, but dropped the aggie game and ended up in the Sun Bowl rather than the Sugar Bowl. A&M didn't win **** that year, aside from the Texas game.

During the spring semester, I went to visit some high school friends who had gone to A&M. When I got to the campus, I saw posters, bumper stickers etc. plastered all over the place saying "From gumbo to tacos" with the aggie- Texas score.

Everywhere.

This was in April.

By the way, the aggie campus circa 1979 was ghastly.

 

83,

I remember that 79 game vividly. That 79 defense was the best we ever had although the83 was close. I ran into RC shopping for Christmas presents for our wives at Charles Ford's in Town & Country the week before Christmas. We talked about the game, and RC agreed that it may have been Texas best defense ever, but he said it didn't matter how good they were, no defense was prepared to stay on the field the entire game.

For those that may be too young or don't remember, that 79 defense held OU to FIVE first downs (2 on penalties, 2 on busted plays, and one earned). If not for a busted play in the last minute, OU's total offense would have been under 100 yards.

OU's million dollar backfield:

Billy Sims - Hype$man winner
David Overstreet - Big Sandy with Lovie Smith; Gone too soon in car wreck
Kenny King - 9.6 hundred out of Clarenden HS (I believe Kenny was the FB but I might be off a year; either way, the first two were enough to scare me to death)

 

^^^ that 1979 Defense was a ROCK.

Led by DT Steve McMichael they totally dominated and shut down a high powered ou Offense as Sabre pointed out... and on a really hot day!

 

Sabre: I guess I was tuned in to longhorns football at lot more by 1983, but I very fondly remember that year's defense.

That defensive backfield was absolutely loaded: Fred Acorn, Mossy Cade, Jerry Gray, Richard Peavy, Craig Curry.

I really liked just knowing that we were likely to get the other offense off the field fast.

To get this back on thread, I also liked the result of that year's aggie game better than '79!

 

1983,

That 83 defense had a walkon DT from Pflugerville. I didn't know the kid other than to just say "hello". I overheard Fred talking about walkons and saying he didn't think he should be invited back for the fourth or fifth year. Fred & I had a pretty intense discussion during which I told him the kid had been a blocking dummy for those years, was graduating, and deserved to come back if he wanted to. Conversation took about 90 seconds and Fred said "OK". I can never remember his name, never remember seeing him play, but the Steelers signed him as an undrafted free agent, and he made the squad and lasted 3-4 years in Pittsburgh. Don't know if he ever played or not, but he collected checks from Art Rooney.

That's an example of how talented that 83 team was.

 

Bwhahahahaha

 

Good grief. It is obvious that the aggy sojourn into the SEC without big brother has not in any way diminished their capacity to be whiny little twatwaffles. One might have hoped for a modicum of institutional growth and maturation, but instead we get this: "Nick Saban said something mean to us!! Give him a spanking, daddy SEC! Waaaaaaahhhh!!!"

 

Wait until they get ignored by the SEC once Texas has their ear.

 

Imagine an Ole Miss or Georgia or Florida alum and looking at the schedule, then telling his wife, "We are only going to make one of the trips to Texas, would you rather go to Austin or Brazos County".
