It's just good luck. Before exams, students go put a coin on his boot for luck. Or rolls of coins for extra good luck

BeaumontBengal: Don't feel bad, the pennies on Sully is a new tradition. Lots of us old farts didn't know about it, either.
Unfortunately the folks that give campus tours tell a BS story about L.S. Ross and "a penny for your thoughts" that makes is sound like it's a tradition that's been around since 1876.

Foliaki holding up the ball after stripping the ball away from CU's Purify in OT to win the game.

cool pics of gramps!
Good bull pics of Pinky! That's a pretty cool family legacy!
Anyone have the pic of the rings in front of the Academic blg in '99. That's my favorite - says everything about what it means to be an Aggie.

Helping out the rook...
Nice.
One of my favorites is the one that was on the front page of the DMN on T+2 of Matt Bumgardner sawing with the ODs. I've looked for forever but never found that pic anywhere! If you've got it, post it please!
My friend Stew Milne, best photog in Batt history, took these two. He works for the AP on the East Coast now. See his stuff at stewmilne.com
Tell Stew he's AMAZING and he's still a legend on the Batt staff!

Some good ones in there. As I previously mentioned, I recently bought "We've Never Been Licked" on DVD and it has some great scenes of campus and some traditions as well.
