***slow clap***
When I read the title, this was my reaction:
Best Aggie uniform! wish we would go back to this.
Aggiedad
Always thought the transition to the pros would be easy for him with his size and speed. I was wrong.

It would be sweet to have these as a throwback this year. The big "T" on the helmet looks so much better!
Larry Horton was good too.
Does he like Huey Lewis and the News?

Perfect example of how times have changed.
Don't need " throwback uniforms"
Don't need icy whites, death Vader black knights or any other stupid little nicknames want to come up with.
Don't need tweets about what uniform we are wearing.
Need 1 home uniform
Need 1 road uniform
Need 1 helmet
That's it !
you know with all the CTE stuff...perhaps not all bad Bates had a relatively short NFL career. 4 years I think.
before Mike Evans...he was the last great player from Galveston to suit up for the maroon-n-white

Man did he lay some people out!

I was on the sideline beside him right before he ran that opening kickoff back for a touchdown against LSU. I still remember the very intense expression he had on his face and I was thinking to myself "We are giving out an ass whipping today".
He's here in Dallas...his son Keaton is an OT for SMU.

I agree. This is a good time to honor my brother-in-law Jeff Raley. We had this discussion many times, and we both agreed on the best Aggie Foootball uniforms. Gig 'Em Jeff. My first preseason without you. You will be missed. It's emotional for me also because of all the years we watched Aggie Football with the tv turned down and Dave South on the radio. He's now retiring. We had some good times. Love you.

Agreed!
He could dominate a game!
The Headhunter
As a grad TA, I had him as a student for Statistics Lab. IIRC, he didn't attend a lot of classes. Don't remember whether he ultimately P or F.
Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and myself founded empires; but upon what foundation did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force! But Jesus Christ founded His upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for Him. - Napoleon Bonaparte
Yes, but they all played when football was still football and you could bring the wood every play. Todays game, not so much.
I agree, but...it won't happen. It doesn't have neon colors, won't glow in the dark, makes it too easy to recognize our team every week, isn't hip enough for football fashionistas who are more concerned with how they look than how they play, and it has a classic style that is objectionable to progressives.allMondjoy said:

He can get a reservation at Dorsia
Sorry, but his physical presence made him intimidating, but he really wasn't that good.
Fire away.
Fire away.

Patrick Bates wasn't even the hardest hitting safety named "Bates."
That distinction goes to Bill.

I remember his hit on Jerome Bettis (ND) at the goal line. I think Bettis scored (barely) but dang - that was one vicious hit on a big RB. Clearly had his bell rung. Bates said something about "fat boy" that Bettis did not appreciate.
Let's see Paul Allen's physical presence.Southlake said:

Junior White. Dennis Allen. Larry Horton. Michael Hendricks.

Agreed.
Patrick Bates was one bad assed dude; nobody dared come across the middle with him back there.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

I like the uniform too but I was really glad when we went to the smaller "T". The big "T" just looks goofy.
Didn't Bates quit football to become a model?

good to keep things in perspective. what a tough, tough hand to be dealt a young man.
