That is about the funniest...

I read this article in Texas Monthly about this offshoot of the Mormon Church (the polygamists) buying some significant acreage in West Texas, I believe. They were building a compound. Well, courtesy of some Branch Davidian-ish concern on the part of the community nearest the compound, the Sheriff went out and made friends with them. On a recent visit, the Sheriff suggested that they come into town sometime and get acquainted so people would not be so spooked.

The head guy replied, "My great-grandfather kept to himself, he taught my grandfather to keep to himself, who taught my father to keep to himself, who taught me, and me and my family are going to keep to ourselves too."

The Sheriff replied, "...Heck, that ain't a big deal...around here, we just call those kind of folk Aggies..."

Being from Utah, the guy didn't get the joke....

But I bet everyone else here does.

Well wouldn't you know FOXSW decided to televise the game. This after assurances from "Aggies in the know" (an oxymoron?) that the game would certainly start at 6 or 7, especially since there was no chance of the game being televised. Lesson learned: check your sources. 200 bucks this morning to change my flights, lest I miss the early morning kickoff.

Better yet: NEVER trust an Aggie! Or as President Ronald Reagan used to say: "Trust...but verify!"

At least we'll get some exposure. Let's hope that we give them a good game.

[PonySoprano]

Yes! I do hope we give them a damn good game. Come to think of it, we owe those bastards one after they stole that game from us in 1995 at Kyle Field. Paybacks are hell!!

Now if we upset them on National or Regional Television whatever it is, ahhh many so ready for this season.

Now if we upset them ....

Kid, the Supreme Court says you gotta stop smoking that stuff, even if it's medicinal...

[Dooby]

Hey, man. We are all undefeated before the season starts. Dare to dream. Dare to dream.

This gametime pisses me off. 1130 AM kickoffs on FSSW are f'd up. It just gives tailgating one big kick in the nuts. That is hangover time, not a time to start a game.


F you Big XII TV contract.

[Sewanee Stang]

Try a little hair of the dog at 10:00 AM.

[BeerBus Tailgatin Aggie]

oh, it will be 7 am tailgate start time... its 8 am start regardless of gametime for most games, but you can start out slow for those... I'm going to have a hard time getting crazy in 4 short hours after a long night at the bars.

Yup, getting our pants beat off might be TOO much exposure for Sat. morning TV.
