    I am a ghost lol 

    Seriously though, parents wouldn't allow me to enlist because I was the oldest male child(at least that's their main reasoning/what they told me). Also in high school I had decent grades, but they weren't high enough to get me into West Point or Annapolis. 

    Just kidding you.

     I enjoy this thread every year. My Dad was a senior in hs when Pearl Harbor was bombed. He and all the boys in his class (except one. had a medical problem) enlisted shortly after. Believe only five or six boys (men) were in his class. Small farm community. Dad went to paratrooper school, was in the 82nd and served in Europe. His older brother joined (Army) and served in the Pacific. I served in the Army. Go Army!

     Thankful for all branches. God bless them all.

    This game means a lot to me. My cousin and his wife are still active duty Navy, having finished their tours and are stationed in Virginia Beach. My youngest stepbrother is active duty Marines and is currently stationed in Salt Lake City as an officer after serving in Australia, Japan and other parts of the Pacific. Oldest BIL was in the Marines, went to med school, and re-enlisted in the Navy as a Naval doctor. Lots of Navy in my family.

    So once again, GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY! SING SECOND!

    What the hell happened to you?

    You know that little white speck on top of chicken shit?  Well, that little white speck’s chicken shit too. 

    I'm nearly as old as Brat. My dad told me that when I was a young'un.

    I’ve asked this before but I’m not sure anyone really knows – Why has Texas never publicized more the fact that Tom Landry is a Longhorn? He’s a Super Bowl winner and one of the greatest coaches in NFL history, and since I’ve been a Texas fan in the mid-1990’s I’ve only seen a passing mention of him buried in a media guide. I bet a lot of folks don’t know he played football for Texas.

    Same here. Tom Landry is a Longhorn Legend.

    The Ole Miss game is in Collie Station, which helps aggy, but the Rebels should still be favored.  

    The ags will manage to fuck up at least one other game, so I'm inclined to think 7-5 is the most likely result.  

    The fact they scheduled UMass should be a source of acute embarrassment to every aggy.  But they're all so brainwashed that they'll find a way to rationalize it.   

     

    well. umass is the university of a whole state. per aggy.

    Posted in another thread... is this the most consequential win since the Rose Bowl?

    Bigger than the Sugar Bowl? Bigger than the Ohio State Fiesta Bowl? Those had hardware... but this just feels bigger. In the two decades I've been watching, we've never rubbed OU's nose in it. We did today.

    something good is happening. could see it on the sideline.

    ...in the 3rd quarter.

    I saw OU do something I've never see them do in 33 years of watching this game.

     

    They quit.

    yea, and that's when their half of the Cotton Bowl started to empty. should have left before halftime.
