Just checking - have the aggys delivered any of the promised vaccine yet?

I'm asking for a friend.

Quote

The deal, expected to be announced Tuesday, stems from a multibillion-dollar federal grant to the Texas A&M University System received last summer to create a "center of innovation" for the development of drugs to counter influenza and other biological and chemical threats.

With federal funds, Texas A&M will build a large $91 million facility near the university where, beginning in 2020, GlaxoSmithKline will make between 12 million and 15 million doses of vaccine for seasonal flu.

Effectively, then, a state that traditionally has excelled economically in fields such as energy and medical care will gain a stake in the pharmaceutical industry.

"It's huge for Texas because what's going to happen is it's going to make the state the third coast for biopharmaceuticals," said John Sharp, chancellor of the Texas A&M University System.

To diversify the state's economy, Texas officials have long sought a role in pharmaceutical manufacturing but have been rebuffed for two principal reasons: There's no existing cluster of such companies and no workforce to support one.

"I have always been intrigued by how could we get big pharma to invest in Texas," Gov. Rick Perry said in an interview with the Chronicle.

Perry has received substantial criticism for using economic development funds to enrich his allies, but his $50 million bet on the National Center for Therapeutics Manufacturing appears to have paid off.

Yeah, thousands of barrels of listeria-laced Roundup are ready for distribution starting with HEB, then Home Depot & Lowes

It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton, and my brother was balin' hay
And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
And mama hollered out the back door, y'all, remember to wipe your feet
And then she said, I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge
Today, Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

I wanna tell you all the story 'bout
A Brazos Valley divorced wife
Who had a teenage son
Who attended Brazos Valley Junior High
Well, her son came home one afternoon
And didn't even stop to play
And he said, "mom, I got a note here from the Brazos Valley PTA"

Well, the note said, "Mrs. Fisher
You're wearin' your dresses way too high
It's reported you've been drinking
And a-running round with men and goin' wild
And we don't believe you oughta be a-bringin' up
Your little boy this way"
And it was signed by the Secretary
Brazos Valley PTA

Did they ever call themselves LB U at some point? They dont have any LBs in the NFL right now.   I know they have said they are RB U and K U in the past.

Just remember that something doesn't really have to be true, and usually isn't, for them to claim it.
