My buddies and I went to a Cards V Pirates game at Busch in 1979, arriving way early to get our usual front row $2 bleacher seats. On the walk in, we came upon Willie Stargell, Dave Parker, and Bill Madlock heading the other way on the sidewalk. While nice to us, those dudes were INTIMIDATING, in particular Parker and Stargell.

It would mean that aggy would need to be ranked in the top 5. Jesus tap-dancing Christ.

It was Darrell Royal’s penultimate season in Austin and the No. 5 Horns (9-1) were riding a five-game winning streak. They had recovered nicely from a 2417 loss to Oklahoma, but the No. 2 Aggies, coached by former Royal assistant Emory Bellard, were hotter. They were 9-0 and had won six games by double digits. As 56,679 packed Kyle Field — it was half the size it is now — things didn’t go well for the Horns. A&M linebacker Ed Simonini was all over the place and UT quarterback Marty Akins aggravated a knee injury. The Aggies keyed on Texas star running back Earl Campbell and celebrated a 20-10 win that gave them a clear path to a Southwest Conference title, a Cotton Bowl appearance and a chance for the program’s first national title since 1939. All they needed was a win at No. 18 Arkansas. Didn’t happen. The Razorbacks rolled 31-6 and created a three-way tie with Texas and A&M for the conference title. The Aggies ended up in the Liberty Bowl where they lost 20-0 to USC in what was Trojans coach John McKay’s final game.

October 31, 20241 yr Haha, someone sent this letter to the New York Times: Andy Mobile Al COLLEGE STATION Texas. It was originally a train station for students to get off the train for Texas A&M. How does that NOT qualify as a "college town"? And as unique a football experience as you will ever encounter.

October 31, 20241 yr Really feels like they got the win Saturday and immediately started looked to the Texas game as they believe they will win out (at least until our game). I’m not so sure that’s the best thought process

November 1, 20241 yr They're the regular holy Aggie rings. "At other schools, anybody can go to the jewelry store to get their college ring. Not here. Here you have to earn it." At other schools, nobody gives shit. At other schools, graduates don't often first identify themselves by their university FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES AND EVERYWHERE THEY GO. Do you really believe there would be a run on Aggie rings if anyone could buy one? Are you nuts?
November 1, 20241 yr Hell the other A&M system schools don't do this. You can't buy a senior ring or "earn" one either.
November 1, 20241 yr these rings are so big and stupid, its really a gift to the rest of us to be able to recognize these rubes from a distance

My answer does not have the words "At Austin" in it. There were - and are - two answers: either "Texas" or "The University".

Pretty common to get there if you’ve done pre-college work and summer school and he was also an early enrollee so he’s had five full semesters.
November 1, 20241 yr Last week, Jason Kirk on the Shutdown Fullcast referred to College Station as “Wakanda for white people” and I can’t get it out of my head.
