Enough said to that.

The aggie kicks the downed cheerleader before he gets pushed down. On Texags I saw where people said he never actually assaulted anybody. I guess they need to watch it again!
Thanks for the link. Mucho appreciate it.

Excuse me, Officer. The guy who started the assault - the one waving around a deadly weapon? - he's over there.

Like I even have to say this, but...A&M is no West Point...not even close.

Posted: Mon Dec 13, 2010 5:50 pmWhat struck me most about that incident was talking about it to Aggies afterwards.
A typical response I got from about a third of them was..."what cadet did was wrong, but what the SMU cheerleaders did was also wrong, there are rules and he was simply enforcing them"
Who knows what my Aggie friends said among themselves, but I suspect they were more supportive of Hood than they let on.
I do remember some alums showering him with gifts afterwards.
As for me, it simply upheld my life-long belief that I would rather support the pot-smoking hippies from Austin over the jack-booted storm troopers from College Station.

Posted: Mon Dec 13, 2010 9:20 pmThose aggies and their stupid rules.....when I was at SMU I went to C.S. to go to the SMU/a$m game w/a high school friend who was an ag. He was showing me around campus and I was going to take a short cut and walked off the sidewalk to go across the grass and, oh my gosh, you would have thought I had murdered someone! He had a fit and started telling me their rules, etc. and I looked at him and told them they were ALL F*ed up!!!!!!!
