  1. Bulldogs may have awakened a sleeping giant. Dart and crew are getting chunk yardage right now.
  2. The Golden Egg trophy[edit] The Aggies (Bulldogs) dominated the early days of the series including a 13-game A&M winning streak from 1911 to 1925 during which time the Aggies outscored the Red and Blue by a combined 327–33.[10] Through 1925 Ole Miss had won only five times out of 23 total contests. In 1926 when the Red and Blue ended their 13-game losing streak by defeating A&M 7–6 in Starkville, the Ole Miss fans rushed the field with some trying to tear the goalposts down. A&M fans did not take well to the Ole Miss fans destroying their property and fights broke out. Some A&M fans defended the goal posts with wooden chairs, and several injuries were reported. According to one account: To prevent such events in the future, students of the two schools created The Golden Egg, a large trophy which has been awarded to the winning team each year since 1927. In the event of a tie, the school that won the game the previous year kept the trophy for the first half of the new year and then the trophy was sent to the other school for the second half of the new year.[12] The trophy is a large football-shaped brass piece mounted to a wooden base and traditionally symbolizes supremacy in college football in the state of Mississippi for the year. The footballs used in American football in the 1920s were considerably more ovoid and blunter than those in use today and similar to the balls still used in rugby; the trophy thus, to modern eyes, more resembles an egg than a football.[citation needed] The game was given the nickname "Egg Bowl" by The Clarion-Ledger sportswriter Tom Patterson in 1979.[13]
  3. They have him sing the M I crooked letter crooked letter song. If he's gets it correct, he's good to go.
  4. There is a newer version out in Brookshire. Exit of I10 for FM 359, just before turning right to go over the RR tracks, turn/look left past the do-nut shop and there it is. Cool pict BTW!
  5. More expensive if you wanna sit by DDA.
  6. Enjoy the days mofos. Happy Thanksgiving!
  7. Bulls keeping hope alive with a TD and 2pt conversion. 24-8
  8. ^^ I looked earlier temp was 45 degrees.
  9. EMU gets a TD just before half on a 95-yard drive. 24-0. This one isn't going to be much of a game either.
  10. 3 more for the Eagles, 17-0
  11. Eagles score a TD in the second. 14-0
  12. Don't sound like much of a game. I'll stick with the Eagles and Bulls.
  13. The Eagles punch it in for the TD mid-way through the 1st quarter and early lead. 7-0
  14. Tuned in just in time to hear the announcers talking about EMU getting good field position after the punt. My first thought was Biberty Biberty. Only pay for what you need.
  15. Ikea vs B&P. Their idea use some type of cushion to protect the "veneer" and work off your knees. Nope. Quick check with a tape measure, looks like it will work off the kitchen countertop. My back and knees say, "thank you". Round 2, they want me to use their little chicken shit gadget tool to screw in 20 fasteners. Nope. DeWalt says "I got this". Fingers say, "thank you".
  16. Evidently, I'm a day behind. Fixin' to go make some cornbread to go with 'em.
  17. Any news on FSU Jordan Travis? That was an UGLY thing to watch.
  18. Is there a "contractor" digging your way from the South? There's a couple of things I'd like order if that is the case.
  19. You could probably get it back here. State Surplus Property — Texas Facilities Commission
  20. Yesterday, I pretty much had the same thoughts. Too bad, Augie can't give these boys a half time speech today.
  21. Missed out last night as I wasn't feeling well. If I lived on the West Coast, Fresno or Wazzu would by my team. Gotta love 'em.
