Howdy Ags!

In my technical writing class (ssssssss...) my group is preparing a manual on how to dunk our Aggie Rings. Former and current students please help out a few of your fellow Ags by telling us:

1. if you dunked your Aggie Ring.
2. how you dunked your Aggie Ring.

i.e. A pitcher @ the Chicken with 203 seconds to drink, one shot/yr, or ice cream at Swenson’s.

This statistics will be included in our manual. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks and Gig’em!

In a pitcher of Bud Light behind the Chicken the night before the OU game in 2000. I have the pitcher still and everyone that was there signed it with a sharpie.

Oh, it took 112 seconds. It was WAY too cold to drink any faster. It was about 40 degrees that night

In the fall of '97 at the Chicken. I drank a "schooner" and chugger of Bud Light in 55 seconds.

In a pitcher of Miller Lite by back pool table (by the men's room). It took me 15 minutes (class of '94) -- I know I'm a loser -- and I didn't puke.

Took my friend (who has a tech writitng degree from A&M) over an hour and she puked.

Things I learned: Don't eat a huge meal before you go, just have a snack. Let the beer get closer to room temp.

[Edit: I, too, still have my glass pitcher]

In my opinion it's a false tradition.

In old army days they didn't do it. And I felt that I had worked too damn hard to get the Ring just to sully the thing by puking all over it.

Those that know me on this board know that i will put away many a beer in one sitting at the Chicken...that's not the issue. I just found the occasion of getting my ring to be more solemn than an excuse to get hammered.

Only my opinion, and you'll find I am in the very, very tiny minority.

when you could still dunk it in a pitcher inside the chicken...47 seconds...bud light.

Big Glass Pitcher, which i still have, of Coors light. Me and two buddies split a warm-up pitcher and they had a Freddy's Platter while i slammed my picher with some chick on my lap, who later stole my Cleveland Indians baseball cap. This was about 4pm, bonfire afternoon. Good start to a great day.

and sitting next to the "fireplace" inside the chicken.

Dunked it several times although never in my mandated 92 seconds. 3-4 minutes was average. Never puked from said dunkings.

A few friends and I had a party in a back yard on Bright Circle. I dunked my ring in a pitcher of Coors Light, 87 seconds, the night of the Robert Earl Keen concert in October of 2001. The goal was to do it in under 102 seconds. It truly was a miracle that I finished the pitcher, especially under the 102 seconds. I believe I owe this to EAD because he is the one who poured my pitcher back and forth before hand to get all the carbonation out and warm it up a bit. Also, the other girls did schooners and beat me, so I think that helped me do it fast. After we took pictures with the rings in our mouths, I called my mom to let her know I wasn't in the hospital - she couldn't make it down for the party, but she was really worried and had asked me several times which friend was responsible for rushing me to the emergency room. The pitcher was a glass A&M pitcher and everyone at the party, or at least the people I knew, signed it with a sharpie. GOOD TIMES and one of the best parties we ever threw!!!

I would not be able to do that again if I tried

Dunked it in a pitcher of Bud Light at an off campus party (I was only 20 at the time) the night before the Nebraska game in '98.

The goal was 99 seconds. I did it in 41 and also managed to not puke.

pitcher of miller lite behind the chicken. 4.5 minutes. puked and everything.

I dunked mine in about 30 minutes at Duddley's. I don't mind the dunking being labeled a "tradition" because it is. But trying to drink it in a matter of seconds is just stupid.

In a cracked pitcher of Miller Lite at the Chicken on August 10, 1992. I drank 2/3 of the pitcher in 1 minute, but it took me 4 more minutes to drink the rest. I did not puke. I still have the pitcher in a place of honor.

Chicken. Coors Light. No time limit - no hurling. Did it again with a couple of buddies later in the year when they got their rings.

I finally got my ring a week and a half ago. Should I make a special trip to BCS so I can dunk my ring, or is there another acceptable method for those who live far away? (Keep in mind, none of my friends in Indiana have a clue about our traditions.)

If you think your friends in Indiana will stand around and yell at you while you chug beer like a college kid, do it there. If not, I'd suggest waiting until you can go to B/CS and do it.

Well, I knew there was no way I could drink a pitcher of beer in '93 seconds, so I chose to drink it in a casual 19 minutes and 93 seconds. No barfing.

Whoop!

Behind the Chicken. 19.5 seconds. Puked.

in the chicken in 59 seconds followed quickly by three shots of jagermeister, a sixer on the way to austin to see soulhat, little sister, and gingerbreadman, and a long night of drinking. never puked

I think this is a fairly new "tradition." I am class of '79 and did not do this. I don't know of any of my classmates who did either.... I heard of a couple of instances of this when I was going to school, but it was NOT a big deal in the 70's!.......

In our backyard at our Duplex on Leon St. in Bryan. April 17, 1999. Had a CS city league softball tourney all day, was really thirsty. Finished a pitcher of Bud Light in 62 seconds no puking. I was so dehydrated from the softball tourney, I just took it in. Great party insued.

5 of us threw a party off of 2818 in November 2002 after we all got our rings. I dunked mine in a pitcher of Bud Light in like 4 minutes and puked....but it was okay b/c it was all beer since I had not been able to eat all day due to nerves. All I have to say is thank god I never have to do it again!

In a picther of Michalob and finished the thing in 90 seconds. Good times. My buddies bought me pitcher and some food later on when I was able to eat.

in a big vase (it looked like a huge frou-frou drink glass) of bud light. no time limit... at my friend emily's apartment on the balcony (i was "older" when i got my ring and more of my friends were in houston than college station).

i have the most awesome picture of me dropping the ring into the vase. the ring is both in my hand and at the bottom of the vase in the pic-- because it's heavy and dropped faster than the exposure time on the shutter. you can see the bubbles where it fell all the way through the beer.

We had a party at my friend's house, and three of us dunked ours in Keystone last semester. 55 seconds

64 oz (had to step up from the 40) bottle of OE with biggie in the background...didn't keep time...don't remember puking

In the Chicken with a glass pitcher (I know I saved the pitcher, but for the life of me I don't know where it is now; I'm sure it walked out on it's own during a party at my place at some point). Pitcher of Shiner Bock. Beat the 93 seconds with about 10 seconds to spare and did not puke. "Shooting the boot" at rugby parties had me plenty prepared to down a pitcher of Shiner quickly w/o puking.

I dunked my ring in a glass pitcher of Shiner at a party. 62 seconds, no puking.

My girlfriend (now, not at the time), also Class of '96, dunked hers in a carafe of milk. She likes milk. I don't think there was a stopwatch involved.

Pitcher of Miller Lite at Fitzwilly's, Sept. 1999. 95 Seconds. Much to the amusement of my friends and those in attendance, I puked up about one beer's worth 2 agonizing minutes after finishing.

First off, don't do it at Olsen, that may get you arrested. Also, if you walk in on someone who has just dunked his ring, and he is running at you, and yells at you to move, it'd would be a great idea if you don't want to get puked on (the poster knows who he is)

Pitcher of Miller Lite. 19 seconds. Held it down.

1997, I poured some warm Keystone Light from the bottom of a can over my ring. Probably backwash now that I think about it.

why would doing it at Olsen, get you arrested??
