Was going through a box of mementos from my Great Grandfather, including a copy of the 1917 yell book. 101 years old - enjoy!
Hell yeah, let's bring 'em back. 1917 was one of the years we went undefeated and unscored upon.maroongoon95 said:

I have shared this story several times on Texags, but here it is again...............Pro Sandy said:
Aggies will often flash a thumbs up and say "Gig 'em!" This is a phrase that dates back to 1920. The term was popularized by P.L. "Pinkie" Downs, a member of the Texas A&M Board of Regents and Class of 1906, when Downs asked the crowd at a yell practice before the 1930 TCU football game, "What are we going to do to those Horned Frogs?" Improvising, he borrowed the name of a sharp-pronged frog hunting tool called a gig, answering his own question by saying "Gig 'em, Aggies!" For emphasis, Downs made a fist with his thumb extended straight up.

I wonder if a cigar shop could make it in CS now.
