As a way to kill time before the big game...

I was watching "25 Biggest TV Blunders" and noticed a Texas A&M cap prominently in the backgroud of a picture used while the blunder was discussed. This random sighting got me to thinking about other appearances and references to Texas A&M in unexpected places.

Here's a few to start:

Best Little *****house in Texas (no need to post link)
the famous Snoop Dogg rap
CSI character Nick Stokes went to Texas A&M, actor George Eads went to Texas Tech.

The Ramones were fans:



This dude from the Chuck Norris movie "Sidekicks"


Wyatt from Weird Science taught at A&M for a few years after he grew up.

Elliot from ET attended A&M briefly.

The opening scene of "The Last Boyscout" contains footage of A&M's Holiday Bowl appearance when we killed Detmer.

Billy Bob Thornton's character in Intolerable Cruelty was an Aggie. Owner of "Doyle Oil"

Dancer, Texas pop. 81- there was guy carrying an Aggie umbrella in a part of the movie. I think the director might have been an Aggie.

Dog the Bounty Hunter talked about A&M in one of his episodes. He said it was the best school in Texas and his nephew went there or something like that.

On one of my tours at A&M, our tour guide said that the character "Sully" from Monster's Inc was named after Sul Ross. Apparently, an Aggie is a pretty high up in Pixar.

Elliot from ET (Henry Thomas) did NOT attend A&M - he was going to Blinn, but he did live in CS. His girlfriend was at A&M and he wanted a school he could come and go from should he pick up a movie roll (which he did. He was young Norman Bates in Psycho III, and was in Legends of the Fall) He was a friend at the time.

There is a reference to A&M @ the beginning of Stephen King's "The Stand" - the book not the movie.

They list an A&M score in Back to the Future.

Obviously, We've Never Been Licked was partially filmed on campus.

And there are several Aggies at Pixar
quote:
More than 30 graduates of the A&M VizLab work in the technical-arts departments at Pixar that create the studio's films. Each year, two VizLab graduate students receive Pixar Aggie Scholarships based on their creative work. The Pixar Aggie Scholarship was established by Aggie Pixar employees who funded it by pooling donations and taking advantage of Pixar’s corporate matching.

This was back when I was in school, during the heyday of Aggie Football. Rappers thought it was cool to wear A&M stuff...mainly becuase of the Wrecking Crew.

The running back from Friday Night Lights (the show) is being recruited by A&M. I think it showed Kyle Field on the show or something.

W.E.B. Griffin's book series The Presidential Agent has a prominent character who is an Aggie and former corps member. Lots of positive A&M mentions in each book.

Well, his comment to us, when he made Legends of the Fall, was - "Well, I'm in love with the same girl as Brad Pitt, so of course, I HAVE to die."
