I saw the Game of the Century. I was a child, about 8 I think, but I remember it vividly.

And, I watched that thing they had on TV tonight.

And I cannot honestly say which was better. Glad I don't have to choose.

Opps, time for another cold one...

Best Rose Bowl ever, and I'm not just saying that a UT grad. Seriously, this type of a game for the national championship is hard to top.

Oh, and Vince Young is the man.

Congrats to UT and Vince Young. An awesome performance. I have to admit I was pulling for USC but there's no question Texas earned that one! An instant classic.

Phil_in_CS · « **Reply #3 on:** January 05, 2006, 08:41:11 am »

As an aggie I will give my congrats too.

Texas played their worst game of the year and still whupped us, not that whupping the aggies this year was any special accomplishment.

Oh, and the wrong guy won the Heisman trophy this year.

Congrats to Texas. That was an incredible game.

Speaking of which, if anyone finds a picture of the tower lit orange or can take and post one yourself, let us know. That's something I want to see.

Edit: Well here's the Statesman's photo gallery with a few good shots.

Congrats to the Horns. Do you think the Longhorn fans will get off his back for at least a season?

I have some pictures I took in June for the baseball championship. My fiancee and I went down to campus last night but the #1 wasn't lit, so we just sat in traffic in west campus and honked our horn a lot.

There is an off campus (unsanctioned) Bonfire, but as far as on-campus, it'll (likely) never be reinstated.

The current administration won't even talk about it until the litigation pending is all complete.

Andyzipp · « **Reply #22 on:** January 05, 2006, 06:22:58 pm »

They didn't revoke the permit. The City wouuldn't stand by the permit they gave because of the burn ban.

Bonfire was lit this year. A fine for burning it was assessed and paid.

S.P. Rodriguez · « **Reply #23 on:** January 05, 2006, 06:41:25 pm »

Cool, my brother, a fellow Ag, had told me the permit was revoked. I was surprised as, to date, the permits have been granted and figured someone was playing politics or they had finally decided to quash it altogether. Thanks for the info.

By the way, a burn ban is a good reason to prevent lighting it. Bonfire was never meant to be done in an act of stupidity, despite the opinions of some.

strosrays · « **Reply #24 on:** January 05, 2006, 06:51:19 pm »

The year that happened, I believe the UT band paid tribute to the fallen A & M students at halftime during the UT-AM game, facing the Aggie student body and playing something appropriate, it was quite moving and supposedly lessened the animosity between the rival schools for a good while.

My friend the Aggie was telling me this at some point last night at the after-party, almost teary-eyed. This was right before he took a couple of swings at me.

Ty in Tampa · « **Reply #27 on:** January 06, 2006, 11:45:58 am »

Damn, Trey. Those are awesome! Thank your friend very much for me. I almost made my Dad go down there and take pictures so I could see it.

Re: Tower and Shaft Colours

My shaft is white with a red end. What does that signify?

Hudson, you're Cougar High britches are just barely covering your ass right now.

And yes, had there been some sort of horrible accident at the Hex Rally, and roles had been reversed, A&M would have absolutely extended the same kind of gesture.

otterj · « **Reply #38 on:** January 07, 2006, 01:20:16 pm »

Many good Rose Bowl pictures

If you click on Pregame pics #5, it shows Vince Young showing up pregame with an Houston Astros hat on.

Just a lil' ole tidbit.

edit: also pic #13 from the Pregame pics link.

otterj · « **Reply #39 on:** January 07, 2006, 01:32:24 pm »

I honestly have nothing personal against Aggies at all, other than what's in the sports rivalry...

<edit>

Andyzipp · « **Reply #41 on:** January 07, 2006, 04:40:00 pm »

I don't know what crawled the fuck up your ass, but lay off the Nazi shit, please.

S.P. Rodriguez · « **Reply #42 on:** January 07, 2006, 05:36:52 pm »

HH has a problem with Aggies because he works with some shit-heads who happen to be Aggies. Never mind that he's married to one, IIRC. Sorry HH, I wasn't even going to comment, figuring you were just in a pissy mood but nowhere in Andy's response did he state or imply you were jealous. And throwing in the Nazi comment was pretty childish as well as completely unfounded. Why take a swipe at the Aggies on this thread?

And on the Corp, while I'm no fan of the corp of cadets, some actually do join the military. I wasn't in the corp, and if you think the corp is reflective of all Aggies or even the majority, you are incredibly ignorant on the current state of A&M.

Sorry, but in this case, I'm going to quote a Longhorn. FUCK OFF....

Back to the game, I was in the group that thought USC would win, not saying it would be a blowout, just thought USC was better prepared. Vince Young was unbelievable, especially in the second half. Tackling may have been suspect but the guy with the ball usually has something to do with that.

Andyzipp · « **Reply #45 on:** January 07, 2006, 09:53:31 pm »

You compared me to a Nazi, but I need to not react. Fine logic that.
