A poster named Justis Walkert posted this: Once upon an evening dreary I watched our team look weak and weary. Then came a grackle from a distant shore Landing on the Kyle Field floor He stood there stoic, as if napping Sometimes crapping, crapping on the Kyle Field floor. "Tis some visitor" I muttered, "crapping on the Kyle Field floor. Only this and nothing more." Ah, distinctly I remember Two whole months before December The crystal trophy we adore Beyond our grasp forevermore. Quoth the grackle, "Nevermore." Eagerly, I wished the morrow; vainly I had sought to borrow From the playbook surcease of sorrow-something we could use to score And renew hope for the trophy we adore Absent here forevermore. Quoth the grackle, "Nevermore." Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating there no longer. We were only down a score. Only this and nothing more. But then Calzada was cast upon the end zone floor And hopes were dashed forevermore. Quoth the grackle, "Nevermore." And the grackle, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid crust of Kyle Field floor; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, And the stadium light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted nevermore!
Benjamin Knox does aggie-centric paintings, mostly cheesey images like the one I posted. And yes, he sells diploma framers. Here's one you might want to use if you're looking to update your diploma's look... https://benjaminknox.com/
Saw the same post. Apparently the grackle ran across the field and when he crossed the goal line, the fans erupted. I guess they have to have something to cheer about.
I imagine a lonely aggy, soldering through a solo Classics degree with only a well-meaning professor, whose writes his tomes to an audience of no one in BCS.
OMG! I'm in Zambia right now and embarrassed to think ANYONE would associate this with someone from Texas.
