    A couple more silly things about the Aggie class rings...

    https://www.aggienetwork.com/traditionsthroughtime/strengthaggiering/

    • purchase rate of class rings is 94% of eligible students (wow!)
    • around 15k students per year
    • largest college ring account (no kidding?)
    • Aggie ring account is 3x the #2 account at Balfour  
      • Aggie: 15k rings
      • Clemson: 4500
      • Texas: 2500

    So far as traditions go, this one is low on the weirdness scale for aTm.  I do suspect there is a shitload of peer pressure, though.

    Just think how many America’s Finest chocolate bars these goobs could be peer pressuring each other into buying.

    . . . and 5th grade baserunners, at least one of which had no idea of the rules and didn't even want to be out there.

    The runner I ran down who was trying to get back to first ended up being an all-conference athlete in college. 
     

    For a heavy girl, she she could freakin’ move, man.

    This you?

    Oh, KICKball.

     

    Mine was also at second base and would be scored the exact same way- catch, touch bag for the force then run down the base runner for the tag-out. Just far, far lower stakes and the ball was much larger… and more kicked.

    Wow. My grandmother had these exact joke books. I have vivid childhood memories of reading these to get to sleep when we'd visit her. First times I saw the term 'teasipper'... Seemed bizarre, even then, to a small kid, that they had their fake military motif going.... Is there another university anywhere whose primary identity is "redneck laughingstock"?
