(1) Which word in "WE NEVER LOSE A HALFTIME" are you supposed Aggies getting confused on? What it means is, "WE NEVER LOSE A HALFTIME." Ever! We've been saying that phrase at least since my grandfather was there from 1936-1940, because it's true. And if you don't say that and think that and believe that, you ain't a Texas Aggie.
(2) Listen, the men and women of FTAB bust their asses, every single day, for our beloved University. It's not easy--trust me, I know first-hand. It's the hardest thing I've ever done my entire life. They work hard enough and give back enough to all of us Aggies that they don't deserve to hear about this whiny 2%er bulls*it on a public forum.
(3) The "Saw Varsity's Horns Off" drill was created by Head Drum Major Mike Sammis '90 back in 1989. When we marched it at the t.u. game, the 12th Man went berserk, so much so that we literally couldn't hear ourselves playing on the field. That drill marked one of the Aggie Band's very finest moments in its entire history. Since then, it has unequivocally become the most-requested drill the Aggie Band does, apart from the 4-way Cross. Literally thousands of letters come to the Band Room requesting that drill every year, for more than 20 years. Since this is the last t.u. game, not doing that drill wouldn't be an option, as many more (and much more authentic and appreciative) Aggies would be upset and confused if the Band didn't march it one last time.
So, all of you 2%ers, step the eff off of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band. There is NO classier organization in college athletics, and no nobler ambassadors for aTm. And they are YOUR ambassadors--to the SEC and everywhere else--whether it please you or not.
So, get on board, right now, or get on Highway 6.
I understand that everyone is upset. So am I. What Aggie wouldn't be? Our pride, our unity, and our common heritage is what has gotten us through tough times like this. This time is no different. So, please, let's all calm down a little, and not do things like tear down the Aggie Band, or Sherman, or Tannehill, or anything else.
"We are the Aggies, the Aggies are we!"
Gig 'em!
