Hopefully they take off the JJ foundation stickers for this game. Having the skull/crossbones/crossed swords next to these stickers might give some the wrong impression

I'm not one to get all sappy or overly patriotic, but I love this gesture.

RSfan- While I respect your right to voice your opinion I feel this is not the proper time or venue to do so. You can always start an OT forum to state your political views if you care to..
GO PONIES!!!

I think JJ ordered a 'stand down' or a false flag at TAMU last week which allowed us to lose and will set us up for the rest of the season. We picked up a 4-5 Star QB the very next day as a result of the loss, so it worked. i love conspiracy theory rabble rousers.....

Actually, please don't. This is not a political board, and there are countless other boards out there for those looking for a place to discuss politics.
Thanks

What's the difference between a terrorist attack and a cow?
You stop milking a cow after ten years.

Wow. That might be even more pathetic than what the other guy said.
