I have to tell you, I don't know if I can handle this if it is true. They are speculating on the aggie 247 board that, because Elijah Robinson is still an employee at Texas A&M and because he is c

3. Reveille: First Lady of Texas A&M

there is nothing in the universe that 18 year olds love more than reading about dead dogs.

from amazon:

i will never tire of them having a dog as the "highest ranking officer in A&M's Corps of Cadets" because that tells you literally everything you need to know about how dumb the Corps is.

Quote

"I went to Yale. There, a bulldog was the mascot, but somehow, the jowled bulldog's status got diminished over the years, while Reveille lives on, sparking the Aggies on to greatness. Go Reveille!"—George H. W. Bush, former President of the United States

Reveille needs no introduction to Aggies; she is the First Lady of Texas A&M—surrounded by traditions, honored and privileged anywhere on campus. She is a goodwill ambassador as well as a mascot, a symbol of Aggieland as well as the highest ranking officer in A&M's Corps of Cadets. Her lifestyle, accessibility, and popularity combine to make her, above all, among the most widely beloved dogs in the country.

This richly illustrated book traces the history of Reveille, from the first mutt of uncertain origins to Reveille VII, an American collie of purebred lineage and scientific breeding. It tells the collective story of the lives of Reveille at Texas A&M: Reveille's life in the dorm and her privileges in classrooms; the dog-napping by in-state rivals that made national news in the 1990s; and her effect on the lives of those who have shared the campus with her, cared for her, and loved her.

A visible part of university life throughout the year, for many students Reveille is the pet they left at home. Rusty and Vannessa Burson have gathered anecdotes, statistics, and pictures that tell the little-known story of a well-known dog: her origins, tales and

traditions, antics and adventures, and evolving role. It is the story of special dogs, caring people, and a legacy shaped through the decades.

The text is accompanied by formal portraits of the successive Revs and candid snaps of her at work and at play. Further spice is added through interspersed facts and figures and quotes from the many people whose lives she has touched.

Like Lassie, Old Yeller, and Rin Tin Tin, Reveille appeals to any dog lover—but she has a special place in the hearts of her fellow Aggies.

edit: oh my god the reviews are incredible. here are 2 of the first like 4

Quote

For the non-Aggie that has no one connected with the school it explains a lot about the Aggie love for this mascot. It also explains the reaction when this fall, an SMU play who had been hit on the field and was stumbling out of control straight for Reveille asleep on her pad, the mascot handler (a high school football player) gave him another block to knock him away from Reveille. His high dollar Senior Boots will be courtesy of the Commandant of the Cadet Corps, Brig. Gen Ramirez.

Quote

After attending my first A&M game in November 2013, (I'm almost 60) I saw Reveille VIII walk right by me in the Spirit Parade and I was amazed by such a beautiful dog and became curious of the Reveille traditions of her and her Corporal Mascots. Enjoyed the book so much.

Is that one on top referencing Jimbo Fisher as 1 of 5 active coaches with a championship? I always find that one funny. Yeah he won one once...ten years ago. ..when you were in 3rd grade...at another school.  Come play for him before we can afford to buy him out.

Does that one in the middle say something like "7 National Championships in the last 10 years"???  😆

How has that review section not gone full tilt into the absurd?

Also, even with trivial shit like that stupid book, those insecure dipshits feel the need to write as a fan of another school, someone totally objective, in glowing terms about stupid, detailed things only a redass aggie would know or care to consider.

Also, that book review stuff reminds me of what is still the greatest book review every written and posted on the Internet, via Amazon over two decades ago. Written by the handle “john stamos” about Charlie Sheen’s poetic classic “A Peace of My Mind”.  Spoilered due to length but posted as written, including the … formatting:

Spoiler

Carlos Etstevez is the best estevez (just behind joe)

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 27, 2001
Charlie is a personal friend of mine, and i have been reading his poetry for years. This collection is the best of the best as far as Chas's art is concerned. When one works on a show like full house, one sees many forms of expression (from "youve got it dude" to "Watch the hair!" [my personal favorite!]). Sheen expresses the overall feeling of the modern man. From our disgust with the system (damn the man) to our love of sheenistry. Not many people realized that i not only function as an actor, but as a producer. How does this relate to Los? one might ask. Well, sheen PRODUCES some pretty good poetry. Ok ok. Some of sheen's poems may be seen as obscene, thats what i hear anyway. Well, thats trash. that is like saying c thomas howell is a bad tennis player. its just flat out not true. Sheen steals part of ourselves and gives us a chunk of humanity and sheenathan. And, everything that is sheentastic. i remember when a young man named carlos estevez came to town and tried to break into the business. After a name change and a little flick named Lucas, the buzz was too loud to ignore. i personally think that the artist formerly known as estevez will be known more for his poetry than for his acting. carlos is of a caliber not normally seen in this lifetime. I know that sheen has given us all something to think about. ok, i know what you are thinking. he is a mysoginist. nope. he is a drug addict/alcoholic. nope. first of all, as sheen once said, "nobody ever told me it wasnt ok to have a good time." ill vouch for that. ive known the man for quite a while, and never, i mean never, during that time did anyone tell the man that it was not ok to have a good time. now, time to get down to the nitty gritty. The poetry. it is outstanding. brilliant. fun. did i say outstanding? yeah. i am going to go out on a limb here. are you ready? sheen has produced the greatest book of all time. did i say the greatest book of all time? yes. the greatest book of poetry of all time? nope. the greatest book of all time. Why? well ill answer that. sheen is willing to take on the greatest of topics. i wont spoil anything, but lets just say he runs the gamut from A to F. F stands for a bad word. now im going to introduce a new word. Sheenastia. verb. - to live life with the greatest of detailed theological reasoning known to the human form. NOUN - a bong. There is one movie that i would like to expound upon. please allow. NO CODE OF CONDUCT is a film not like any other. on the surface, it seems to be the story of a man's struggle to solve a crime. yeah, yeah, but thats not the end of it. It is ultimately an allegory of one man's search for truth. It may have been directed by the greatest new directing talent on the planet. bret michaels. alright, enough. back to my experience as it relates to sheen. sheens and my life have intertwined on not only a physical but a spiritual level. And through sheens words, i have found life. life's name is estevez. the extevez tribe started in spain in the year 4000 bc. when the spanish conquered much of south america, the estevez's moved on to find their fortune in the new world. they made it, but little jose esteves, didnt. this created a long line of disillusionment within the sheen's inner circle. it lasted for generations, and was not truly harnessed in art until young carlos sheen, born 2350 years after jose, gave his artistic gifts to the world. now, we experience a new form of sheen. a new form of expression. i believe that this book will outlast us all, and will be the final testament of a species that never fully grasped their capability. Call me oldfashioned, but that is the way i feel. sheen has given us what we may never repay. now i will get to the real purpose of this review. i, as a spiritual being, believe in my deepest darkest regions, that sheen the publishing of this book breaks the forth seal of the apolcolypse. that being said, i also believe that sheen is not human. allow me to qualify. sheen, the father of modern thought, is supernatural. sure martin claims to be his biological father. but i know this is not the case. the conception of one carlos sheen-estevez was one of divinity. this impregnation parallels that of another great book of poetry. in fact, i'm not convinced that sheen did not write that great book, as either one apostles or the Lord himself. How did this happen, it cant be true you say. permit my clarification. it is not widely known, but this book of poetry was originally written by sheen during a year of isolation and meditation in the mountains. sheen during this binge of spirituality, would go into trances where he would write unconsciously. Big deal, you say. well, did i mention that he wrote it in a dead language known as aremaic. Once this book is broken down, translated back into other languages and then back to native american languages, we will get the true translation, we will see THE BOOK OF SHEEN aka a piece of my mind.

Dear Penthouse Forum,

I never thought it would happen to me, but my wildest fantasy came true.  Me and a buddy had just parked after a long road trip to watch our beloved West Virginia A&T Minutemen take on the World Famous Fightin' Texas Aggies of the Vaunted SEC West.  When we got out of the car, we were confused as to where the stadium was, so these two fine looking gentlemen wearing tobacco spittle-stained maroon Columbia fishing shirts and Jimbo! caps approached us. 

They offered us an ice cold Shiner Bock in a Dixie Chicken koozie and a sample of the finest BBQ known to man - a cold Slovacek's sausage wrap.  It was heaven on Earth!  They regaled us with the rich history of Fightin' Texas Aggie SEC football, their awe-inspiring traditions, and the evilness of the worst cretins known to man, the tu shorthorns (teehee). 

After the best tailgate ever, they escorted us to our seats in the Zone, the best seats to watch the best marching band ever known to grace a college football field - the Fightin Texas Aggie Marchin' Band!  Whoop! 

Although our Minutemen lost the game 16-13, It was the best college football gameday experience of my life, and something I will never forget!

Signed,

West Virginia A&T's Biggest Aggie Fan!

Although our Minutemen lost the game 16-13 were leading 16-13 after 4 quarters of play, it was obvious that the Fightin' Texas Aggies were the better team, and if play would have continued would have come out on top eventually.  It was the best college football gameday experience of my life, and something I will never forget!

Dear Penthouse Forum,

...OMG! OMG! We got to see the first lady of A&M, commander of the corps, and high roller, baby. She has manly bodyguards wherever she goes. She sleeps wherever she wants; she stretches out on your bed, you sleep on the floor. And no hanky-panky. Her position commands respect as well as commanding the corps.

And the lifestyle! You wouldn't believe. The lifestyle conjured spectacular love in my heart. 

I read in a brilliant book about her that her popularity makes her popular. Aggie scholarship. She's amazing and beautiful and beloved nationwide. 

Oh, and it's a fucking dog.

Decent pickup for them. Flood hasn't chased this kid at all for whatever reason.

From his on3 bio:

Davis said following his junior year. “I just need to understand more about what I need to do at my position. I've only played 22 games of football my whole life.”

The range of outcomes is.....broad
