I heard that in all Pixar movies there is a reference to A&M. The only two I know of is Sully in Mosters Inc and Sarge's in Cars.

Also there is the Saw 'Em Off Logo in the movie Troy.

Troy did not in fact have the saw off...

I believe in the book The Last Picture Show they comment on the girls in the Mexican border towns only dancing with "those boys from A&M"...

No I'm pretty sure Troy did have the Saw Em Off on the sails of a ship. If you have the DVD you can see it when it goes to the title menu.

Anyway, they say something about A&M on the radio.

My friend once told me the "rapper" called Bus Stop wore a 12th man shirt. I never saw it though, and he's not that great of an artist.

May have already been mentioned, but in Lone Star (great movie if you haven't seen it) the sheriff's ex-wife, a crazy football sportsnut, is watching Texas A&M play on TV while she is talking to her ex-husband. I can't remember who A&M is playing.

Buffett wore a cut-off Aggie T-shirt in the "Who's the Blonde Stranger" video.

REK mentions Aggies while talking about his Mustang burning at the racetrack on one of his albums, No. 2 Live Dinner?

Frances McDormand in Lonestar is a sports nut and talks about the Ags stepping in some lucky shat in a game and some recruit from Churchill that benches 260.

You're talking about the Intro to Road Goes on Forever. All he really says is that they went to the Texas World Speedway south of College Station.

In the middle of the Front Porch Song on the first Live album, he talks about being an Aggie, living with Lyle Lovett on Church St, the Presbyterians, their landlord, etc.
