Aglifter.  Don't know what that's about, but just had a thought.  Don't you take the Bar Exam this month?  Wishing you the best, on that!

It is words from an old Aggie fight song still in use today. My grandfather graduated from there in 1911 at age 19 and my father and uncle were class of '37 and '41. One might say that Hullabaloo, Caneck, Caneck are onomatopoeic.

Only with much more enthusiasm when directed against the Texas Longhorns.

Yes, with the yearly talley something like 72 wins for UT and 34 for the Aggies and 5 ties, I would think the Aggies would be quite aggressive and rightly so.

The 'Horns have definitely hooked 'em but there is a lot of alacrity left in the 12th man.

I'm sure they have that eagerness to win, definitely.

It is an indomitable spirit that carries forward. There were more officers in the armed forces from A&M in WWll than all of the other combined service academies.

I'm sure UT is taking that into consideration.   Maybe that's why they're dominating so far.

That is a commendable record.  Excellent.

This is my "I'm not an evil Spammer" post. I don't even have the R9 yet. Although I do have the holster, High Noon Tailgunner, and the local FFL has my significant deposit.
I'm just waitin' for the call and reading the Forum. The more I read the less buyers remorse I feel.
