--And we're gonna put the barrels on every corner.
--Wait a minute. That's... that's the crate?
--That's the big barrel, 'cause you got the pie-eating going on right over here. It's more of a dumpster than a barrel.
--And that brings me to... we'll need a sniper here, and over here...
--Is that really necessary?
--Yes. Remember how much we got egged last year?

Correct me if I'm wrong but while watching the original movie the Omen, any person who had a white styreak going through a picture of tyhemselves ended up being killed in a freak accident.

I hope that was not the same white streak or Kyle field is in for it.

He can act and he can sing and he can dance. There's only one other person in the world who can do all that, and that's Barbra Streisand.

On the 1920's photo... that was probably most of the student body at the time. They all walked there, the only cars are four parked on the track. Can't image what those were for.

Not true, as covered on another thread. There is a howitzer visible at the 1:16 mark in this video from the 1963 tu game:

That old aerial photo of Kyle would have been from the 1930s. The horseshoe and east stands weren't built until 1929. Downs Natatorium, which appears in that photo, opened in 1932.

That may not be a varsity football game. Back then, freshmen were ineligible for varsity competition but they fielded a freshmen team, and there's a chance that is what this game was. I can't imagine that few cars for a regular A&M game, but I could see it for a freshman game, where the only attendees are likely to be folks on campus.
