I bet the Gap kid is Gap man now. The images of that hilarious day will never be forgotten. PS Why are we talking about Tech QBs? Tech sucks. A&M sucks.
Yeah, it'll most likely be ugly. Seems like Tech never has a let down game against A&M, and even usually plays their best game of the season against them. So either it's just a horrible matchup for A&M or Tech just rises to the occasion every year, or more than likely its a combination of both. All I know is the Aggies might as well just blitz every play. I remember one game the last few years where the Aggies basically put EVERYONE back in coverage and it didn't even help, so why even bother. At least you can make it a little tougher on the QB to find the sure-to-be wide open receivers.
Aggies talking trash about other schools being "classless" is hilarious. Corps members pulling out sabers and chasing people down who dare to disturb Kyle Field = class? Grabbing your nuts in public = class? Your coach selling people his players' personal info = class?
WTF???? I went to school there for 5 years and never saw that. Not sure what you're talking about...but that isn't surprising.
Refman, if only I were making this up. See this YouTube link or just Google "Aggie Squeeze:" LINK Now it is the Corps, so that explains a lot, but still...
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3056172 Texas Tech bans T-shirt of Vick likeness hanging Texas A&M's dog mascot Associated Press LUBBOCK, Texas -- Texas Tech has banned the sale of a T-shirt bearing the likeness of Michael Vick hanging the dog mascot of rival Texas A&M. The red and black shirts, with text that says "VICK 'EM" on the front in an apparent reference to the Aggies' slogan "Gig 'em," was created by a Tech student who was trying to sell them before Saturday's game in Lubbock. The back of the shirt shows a football player wearing the No. 7 Vick jersey holding a rope with an image of the mascot Reveille at the end of a noose. Vick, who faces up to five years in prison after pleaded guilty to federal dogfighting charges, is suspended indefinitely by the NFL. Tech school and athletic officials met Tuesday morning to discuss other possible action but did not immediately announce additional measures to be taken. A&M officials, in a statement, thanked Tech administrators for their "their response and action regarding this matter." The creator of the shirt, Geoffrey Candia, declined to comment in an email to The Associated Press on Tuesday. He said he may make a statement after meeting with the dean of students Tuesday. He told The Battalion, A&M's newspaper, for Tuesday's editions that the university prohibited sale of the shirts on campus through his fraternity. He said he originally had wanted to give 50 percent of the proceeds to an animal defense league in Lubbock "because we knew there would be a controversy about the shirts, you know, animal rights, stuff like that." Candia told the newspaper about 300 had been sold. He had hoped 500 would be sold before Saturday's game. The controversy comes about 2½ months after Gerald Myers, Tech's athletic director, announced a campaign to promote good sportsmanship across the campus and at athletic events. The words used in the effort are honor, respect, pride and tradition. Myers did not immediately return a call seeking comment Tuesday. "You can't make light of a situation like that," Tech media relations spokesman Chris Cook said. "That is in poor taste and poor judgment." Robyn Katz, president of Tech's chapter of the Student Animal Legal Defense Fund, said her organization "wouldn't take a dime" from Candia. "If he really wanted to help promote anti-animal cruelty than he would donate time at a no-kill shelter," she said. "He's really doing the Tech community a disservice. There's plenty of other ways to promote a rivalry." Copyright 2007 by The Associated Press
Geez...that would NEVER had happened when Bill Mobley was president of the University. The Corps unit involved should be punished for that display. Not what we want others to see from our students.
never saw anyone sell/wear the shirt on campus, this is gonna get blown out of proportion and I wouldn't doubt if that dude selling the shirts gets kicked out, his fault for being an idiot though.
Refman, in another post you said something about tortilla throwers... What was that about and why was it bad ?
Not necessarily bad, but definitely odd. When I was in college (and it has been 12 years), at home games, the Tech students would throw tortillas like they were frisbees out of the stands and onto the sidelines.
My wife is a Tech grad. I didn't know that they are old, stale tortillas, so they actually hurt like hell when they hit you! On another note, anyone see Tons Of Fun guaranteeing a victory over the Red Raiders? Maybe Lane is paying $1,200 to get some inside info the rest of us don't know, but the Aggs haven't won in Lubbock since he was a mere 150 pound infant....
Except when they play a solid defense. Remember Alabama shutting it down in the Cotton Bowl? Thats why the spread is not in the NFL.
