We could keep Rev., and just have some fish in an 'Ol Sarge mascot suit. Then we could finally have a mascot on NCAA football!!!

Having a mascot on NCAA Football makes us like everyone else??? I didn't realize there were that many 'Ol Sarge haters.

Why would our mascot have to be a suit?

Couldn't we genetically engineer an Ol' Sarge?

He'd need a huge chin, a chest around 4-5 times the size of his waist, and an incredible sense of balance to stay upright.

You're right AggieT. It's much better to keep him as a mythical creature of the past that no one sees anymore. Wouldn't reviving him be like bringing back a tradition. You never see him anymore. How about you try coming up with an idea, you idiot.

Didn't we break out an Ol' Sarge mascot once during Jackie's tenure but everyone hated it so it got scrapped? Or is that just an urban legend?

Only if he comes with an inflatable helmet to run through and his own smoke machine.

because having Ol' Sarge as a mascot would make A&M too cool and Old Army would sheet themselves because its "untraditional"


RIP OL' SARGE!

I'll never forget the last two times I saw OL' Sarge. fighting off the Vietcong and then at the t.u game in Austin back in the mid 80's Boy did he need a shave bad

Answer: Because 19% of Aggies think that having a foam "Ol' Sarge" mascot running around Kyle would be the greatest thing to happen to A&M since 1939.

Because 20% of Aggies thumb their nose at the idea, labeling it as "conformist" and say things like "I went to high school."

Because the remaining 61% of Aggies honestly couldn't care less, one way or another.

Because 95% of alumni donations to A&M come from people who fall into one of the last two categories.


I'd like to think that threads like this will stop in 4 days, but I know they won't.

What I wanna know is who's gonna inflate Ol' Sarge? YOU gonna blow Ol' Sarge until he's fully inflated?

I'd go for it when new army starts saying howdy again .. but that would be uncool, because you'd have to take out your earbuds or get off the celly.

New Army is soft, back in my day we had a border collie to strike terror in the hearts of our foes!

Yes, Dead Zip, there was an Ol' Sarge (or at least a fairly lame likeness) roaming the Former Student sideline for a few games in the late '80s. Didn't work then, and I really wouldn't want to see it tried again no matter what advances in papier mache technology have been made since my time in Aggieland.

well .... noooo ... I just don't want anyone else to have it either.

I still prefer the idea of a real, flesh and blood mega-Sarge roaming the sidelines. I'd even lend my 1st-born to the cause. He'd be like one of those KFC chickens that have such large chests and undeveloped legs that it can't even stand on it's own. But I love A&M Football that much. I'd willingly see my own son suffer so that each of YOU can have a fear-inducing mascot.

when that awful sarge was around in the late 80's me and some buds had a plan to smash him ( he was really awful). Luckily, he disappeared after the test period, never to be seen again.

I remember growing up in the 70's, my dad had a lot of Aggie memorabilia with Ol Sarge on it, I loved it. Ol Sarge and the big maroon "thumbs up" were huge for me.

I would say that if ol Sarge was brought back we would have to decide early on whether he would:

Uncover
Drink burbon at the game
Want Cheerleaders
Bevel or Block ATM
Have a jamin' rock'n entrance music to thrust his pelvis too
Like Rev as a collie or a bad ass Ol Sarge mutt
What will his tats be?
Please fill free to add to the list.

If we can cover these and get a consensus, then we could start a petition to get an ol Sarge on the sidelines. Until then, we should not step that way.

In my opinion, I loved my ol Sarge t-shirt I had in the 70's, along with my knee high maroon socks with block ATM, and maroon shorts.
