Opinions?

Personally, I love the song. Just downloaded it and it is going straight to my iPod.

EDIT: Dub Miller's Fightin Texas Aggie

Please tell me you are joking. REK has written some bad songs over the years, but please don't hang this albatross around his neck.

Wondered how long it would take to get a negative response... oops... there it is.

Hmmm.... seems like I made a mistake. Went to the press before checking my facts.

Aparently the song is by Roger Creager... oh no... that's not right... it was by Dub Miller... oh wait... I don't know who wrote the song.

I think it's an OK song. I don't see whats so bad about it. It's pretty clever.

Its on the Live Album by Dub Miller and the Highway 6 band .. idiots that DL **** and dont know who sings it.

For good measure.

Look man, that's who was listed as the artist. First time I've ever heard the song, not my fault, whoever uploaded it is at fault.

Well had you ever pulled at Jollie Rollie or had to get tutoring from Mr Bill, you might understand the song a little better.

Kids now have no idea what that song is talking about because it might as well be ole Army gibberish now and it was only made like in 98?99?

Hideous.

I know exactly what the song is talking about.

i like the song alot, and i agree that the reason it doesnt get much love these days is because pretty much everything that the song talks about is dead and gone. no one goes to the chicken anymore, no Bonfire, no t.u. rivalry, no jolly rollie pull, no ring dunkings at northgate

about the only things that are the same are the gay ass battalion and the fumbles & interceptions

It was definitely written by Dub Miller `97.

i dont see how people can listen to this song and still think its REK..haha. anyway, it is an enjoyable song.

its like the pat green/roger creager "everclear" debacle from 2000.

Ha Pat Green only wishes his lame ass could write a song half as cool as the Everclear song!

Panzy music = Pat Green

I haven't listened to that song in ages. Ya'll are right, it may as well be Ol' Army gibberish by now, let's check:

Well it's 7:45 on Friday morning he just crawled out of bed
Ok, I can still see that...
He stayed to long at the Chicken again and he's got an aching head
The Dixie Chicken was still there, last time I checked--give it a couple more years.
He's got an 8:00 at Heldenfelds his prof speaks Japanese
Who schedules a Friday morning 8 am class? Oh, and mine spoke Chinese
Whippergone beer and Mr. Bills now he lives on bread and cheese
When did Mr. Bill’s close?

Chorus
He's a fighting Texas Aggie and he just don't give a damn
...cause New Army has gone to hell.
That he's got three parking tickets and he's on schopro again
PTTSUX
But the bonfire's built and Varsity's horns have been sawed right off his head
Haven't done either since '99.
He's a fighting Texas Aggie and he will be till he's dead
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Well it Wednesday morning at Jolly Rolly his sports pass in his hand
Been there, done that--The Zone just isn't the same.
He's been waiting three days in the blazing sun just to be with his twelth man
Now we just cut in line on the morning of and eat the evidence!
But after fumbles and interceptions he takes his girlfriends hand
I get older but they stay the same age...
But the game don't mean a thing to her she's just there to see the band
Hell, another season like last year and I'll just be there to see the band.

Chorus
He's a fighting Texas Aggie and he just don't give a damn
To hell I say...
That he's got six parking tickets and he's on schopro again
PTTS still sux
But the bonfire's built and Varsity's horns have been sawed right off his head
Thanks Student bonfire for making liar out of me.
He's a fighting Texas Aggie and he will be till he's dead
A-A-A-A-A

Well he goes down to the Dixie Chicken he's dunking his ring tonight
Can't do that anymore…
He's there at 6:30 he thought he'd be early but there ain't a table in site
That's still true, I think...

So he buys his pitcher anyway and he drops his ring on in
…and is promptly escorted out.
Singing the road goes on forever and the party never ends
I think Pat Green wrote this, and later a group called the Tollwayboys!
Well it's 1:00 and goodnight Irene is blairing through the place
Aren't they open 'til 2 am now?

Chorus
He's a fighting Texas Aggie and he just don't give a damn
Well maybe not completely to hell.
That he's got nine parking tickets and he's on schopro again
Didn’t PTTS change its name?
But the bonfire's built and Varsity's horns have been sawed right off his head
Seriously, Student Bonfire, keep up the good work!
He's a fighting Texas Aggie and he will be till he's dead
A-A-A-Whoop!

He parked about 50 blocks away so he ain't got time to waste
He's parked in the garage, so he may as well take his sweet time, 'cause its gonna' be a while before they get out
When he finally makes it to his car he stands up on his feet
I never got this line, did he crawl to his car?
He says "Boys lets head to Taco Cabana I think I need somthing to eat"
Eggs Mexicana is still mighty tasty!

Chorus
He's a fighting Texas Aggie and he just don't give a damn
Who cares, we’re all Ags, right?
That he's got twelve parking tickets and he's on schopro again
I think both New and Old Army can agree that PTTS *****!
But the bonfire's built and Varsity's horns have been sawed right off his head
Wait ‘til next year!
He's a fighting Texas Aggie and he will be till he's dead
WHOOP!

Well he picks up a Batallion just to see what's going on
What the hell is a “furry?”
But all he finds to read about is what we're doing wrong
Apperently, not paying enough tuition
This school's to damn conservative I guess you want us to be
See below
Like all the hippies down in Austin wearing orange and sipping tea
Hello, Welcome to the University of Texas at College Station. My name is Tad…

The funniest part, when I searched for the lyrics—guess who was listed as the artist???

It must be old army. Kinda like old people calling young uns Whippersnappers and shaking their canes.

I was there for all of it (same class as Dub) and i hate the song. it's simply horrible.

whats horrible about it? do you even listen to country music?

97% of what i listen to would fall under the genre of 'country.' i do not like gimmick songs nor pop country.

They had sports passes when you were on campus?

yep

Mr. Bill was a chemistry tutor that everyone used because the profs didn't actually teach the course!

Isn't Ali's A+ Tutoring the successor to Mr. Bill's tutoring? That's what I've always been told.

Eh, I like the song. I think it's a crackup. But then, I like Aggie-opoly, too.

From what I know .. Ali's is the successor to Mr Bill .. yes.

First we have a total crap song being attributed to REK and then we have a great song he wrote getting attributed to someone else.

That was part of the joke .. obviously you are a bit slow there No AC.

The Tollwayboys is a stab at the Highwaymen thereby making it a Joke that Pat Green Wrote the Song (joke) for a band that isnt called the right name either (joke).

2 hints, 2 misses.

I'm betting most people didn't get it.

i didnt get it

Good luck ordering Eggs Mexicana at 1AM. Or 4:30AM for that matter, regardless of what the sign says.

I have tons of a of late night TC stories, but this Eggs Mexicana one is funny. We went just right before 1 am (or 2 am, whenever they start selling breakfast). My roomate tried to order them, but she wouldn't sell them because they weren't serving breakfast yet. He settled for "fajita taco combo," a fine choice, but it won't do when your craving refried beans, bacon, eggs and queso.

I was next in line and waited the 30 seconds until the clock struck 1 am, and said "I'll have Egss Mexicana." She looked at the clock, took my order and didn't say a word. My roommate was pissed.
