    The Top Ten Things You Didn't Know About Texas A&M

    Previous Top Ten Lists:

    TCU: http://www.latechbbb.com/forum/showt...acts-about-TCU
    Conference USA: http://www.latechbbb.com/forum/showt...54#post1229754
    LSU-Shreveport: http://www.latechbbb.com/forum/showt...Merger-s-Death

    Louisiana Tech's football season begins August 30th against the Fighting Aggies of Texas A&M. It's always nice to know a thing or two about our upcoming opponents.

    Here are the Top 10 things you may not know about Texas A&M:

    10. As a result of moving to another conference, Texas A&M has gone from being the second fiddle to the University of Texas to being the second fiddle to every school in the SEC.

    9. Mike Sherman’s tenure as Texas A&M head coach was the most disastrous and destructive campaign by a Sherman since the March to the Sea in 1864.

    8. Texas A&M's Football Outlook for 2012: New Head Coach, new defensive schemes, new conference, same old sense of entitlement.

    7. Most individuals worship the God that sent his Son Jesus to rescue them from their sins. Texas A&M students and alums worship a dog that used to rescue Timmy from a well.


    6. The Texas A&M fan base is the first group in history to be diagnosed with a superiority complex and an inferiority complex simultaneously.

    5. Students place pennies at the feet of the Ross statue to try to buy good luck for their finals. This stems from a 1980s tradition in which football boosters placed stacks of cash at the feet of top recruits to buy a good football season.

    4. Since their annual rivalry series with Texas has ended, Texas A&M will have to find another way to lose their annual Thanksgiving Day football game.

    3. The Texas A&M “Gig ‘Em” sign will be the second-most annoying hand gesture in the SEC, just behind the LSU “One Finger Salute”.

    2. After the arrests and suspensions of three A&M football players this offseason, Steven Jenkins, Howard Matthews, and Johnny Manziel became the biggest boobs in Texas since Jessica Simpson’s pregnancy.

    And, the number one thing you didn't know about Texas A&M:

    1. Members of the Corps of Cadets who are caught “pulling out” by their superiors are forced to endure a physical punishment. I’m not making that one up.

    10. Texas A&M was a branch of The University for the first 72 years of its existence, from its founding in 1876 until 1948.

    9. Texas A&M was not founded as a military school and is not one today.

    8. Over half of the guys in the Corp of Cadets have nothing to do with the school's ROTC program and are just dressing up and going to Corps events to play dress-up.

    7. The Texas A&M Fighting Aggie Band has people just carrying instruments and not playing them. These people are needed to fill out the ranks of the band for show.

    6. Texas A&M has a losing lifetime record against the ACC, SEC, Big 10 and Pac 12.

    5. The Aggies haven't won a major bowl game in 25 years.

    4. The Aggies have a lifetime losing record in bowl games

    3. The Aggie Fight Song is based on a tune called "Goodbye My Coney Island Baby." It has been sung by Homer Simpson (as the B-Sharps) and by Frasier Crane better than the Aggies have ever sung it.

    2. If you google "j i z z (remove the spaces) jar" you will learn disgusting things about the Aggies.

    1. The last time the aggies finished a season ranked in the top 10 was 1994. That year they were ineligible for a bowl game as they were on NCAA probation for cheating. The last time the aggies finished a season ranked in the top 5 was 1956. That year they were ineligible for a bowl game as they were on NCAA probation for cheating.

    Go Bulldogs!

    John David Crowe is from my hometown of Springhill and I always heard they gave him a new car to sign with them; thus, the 1956 probation. At least he never made any counterfeit money like another Heisman winner.

    You wouldn't be talking bout a certain Tigger would you?
