    In 1974 we played them at home, my first and only aggie game. I remember how freezing cold and wet it was that day (awesome game, we crushed them early). I don't recall many people leaving early even though "stay late" wasn't a Thing back then.

    They have real issues in CS . I know a few ags, this leaving early or not showing up at all is something new.

    I was there also...my last aggy game (before graduating). Cold, wet: aggy was rated #3 nationally (IIRC). With less than 5 minutes gone in the 1st quarter we were up 17-0. Went on to win 33-3 ish(???). GLORIOUS T-day.

    They have been accepting more and more students. I suppose it is inevitable that aggy would become a little more diluted shade of red *** as the general student population grows.

    The more they say they are not like other universities, the more they are just like other universities.

    Wasn't the 74 game the one where Aggie screwed up the kickoff and we were up 14-0 before Aggie ran a play?

    Y'all laugh at the empty stands but you forget that it's probably because of all the fun and interesting things to do in that town

    Thank you:hookem:
    I wish there was a poor aggy emoji
    Cancel that. They don't deserve any attention

    Good idea, but they don't need/deserve an emoji...they have a song dedicated solely to them...my all time favorite song that goes like this:

    POOOOOOOOOR AAAGGYYYYs
    POOOOOOOOOR AAAGGYYYYs
    POOOOOOOOOR AAAGGYYYYs

    Repeat

    Abdolutely right
    That is why I said cancel the idea. They don't deserve anything more than to point out their hilarity

    Was Herman even born yet in '74? Or was that Strong who screwed up a coin toss? Hard to keep up with those two dolts.

    In 2000 we had a back-and-forth defensive effort in the first half, with our only TD coming off of a Greg Brown pick-6 in their red zone. Slocum decides to ride the wave and kicks off again in the 2nd half, to the dismay of nearly every Aggie around me (sat in the NW corner that year).

    We score TDs on 3 straight possessions to open the 2nd half. It was pretty crappy weather and all the maroon around me faded. "Chrissy" Simms would beat the **** out of them 3 straight years.

    That was Strong. Herman can be viewed as an upgrade in the coin flipping department.

    1974 - Raymond Clayborn big role in that early lead?

    Ray Clay was one of the best RBs to ever play at Texas. He was big, strong, and really fast; never stepped out of bounds to deliver a hit. Fortunately for him, he was a better DB.

    I get the Cubs curse and some other great traditions across all of sports. Hell, i always put my right sock on my foot before games as a kid, and still do.

    If anyone really believes the Farmers are losing because the dogs aren’t being respected should look for Jimmy Hoffa in the foundation of Ford Field.

    His senior year at trimble tech he did everything. The game vs wyatt there were 13 players suited up in the 2nd half. Only 2 on the bench, Claiborne did everything one player could

    In the end wyatt won big. Ivey Suber, Mike Nelms etc etc were just too much

    I want to say that aggy fullback Bucky Sam’s fumbled on one of their first plays from scrimmage and it was caught in the air by either Lionel Johnson or Bill Hamilton and returned for a touchdown!
