The one thing the Aggies get right, but the last few years the speakers can't pronounce the names correctly
Why is Aggie Muster held on April 21? In the early days of Texas A&M, April 21 was celebrated as the anniversary of the Battle of San Jacinto, a Texas holiday that celebrates the state’s defeat of the Mexican Army. As part of the celebration in the 1890s, the Corps of Cadets was invited to portray the Mexican Army in a reenactment of the battle for Texas independence. The State Guard played the Texans. However, since Aggies cannot stand to lose, the Aggies “rewrote history” and continually won the battles. In 1897, the cadets were no longer invited to participate in the reenactment; they decided to continue the celebrations on campus in 1899. These celebrations would evolve into what we now know as Aggie Muster.
Me too! I took my sons to Main Event arcade in Plano for an afternoon of fun that day. Many of the videos around the bldg. had that ou EPIC beatdown of aggy and Fran on. It was a little sad but also quite delicious.
I think that was the first time I saw the officials run the clock continuously in the fourth quarter.
Thursday May 11. The Republic of Texas is NOT secure. Our state is in grave danger of a MAJOR border INVASION!! Thanks Biden for illegal and lawless open borders!
Ok. So, understand it is not WM... but was a "political" comment a limitation on this thread at this important time for this state?
Our state is being destroyed right before our eyes. It will affect every single aspect of our lives And someone is more worried about where a post is placed?
Understand. Sorry y'all, I was a bad poster and patriot for a moment last evening. A weak moment as we are brick-by-brick losing this country .... Dont forget to celebrate Mother's Day!!!
by, It is my understanding that "muster" is a military term for roll call, and that the term was first used in WWII.
That is the point in that glorious game that I started cussing. Stoops for putting on the brakes and the officials for running the clock. I was praying for 100 points, which was doable. Whoop
You would be shocked at how many fools believe what they read on BabylonBee... a site of satirical humor.
So was the aggy DL that did the duck walk after a tackle for a loss with the scoreboard at 70 zip or 77 zip. Even stoops laughed at him
