Schools you'd like to see A&M play - for non-football reasons

The thread about the folks from Wazzou coming to visit, and people mis-reading and hoping games and been scheduled against WSU, got me thinking.

What are schools out there that folks would like to see the Aggies play, but for non-football related reasons? Interesting match ups on the field are easy - let's do this off the field.

I've got two:

1) Virginia Tech.

The Defense Department recognizes 6 schools as "Senior Military Colleges." 4 of these schools are dinky - VMI, The Citadel, Norwich, and North Georgia College. Only 2 play Division 1-A football (or FBS or whatever it's called).

Texas A&M is one. Virginia Tech is the other.

Home and home. Take as much of our Corps there as we can, and they bring as much of theirs here as they can.

2) Penn State

This also relates to the Corps, or at least part of it. Philadelphia is home to the oldest unit in the U.S. Army and the National Guard - First Troop, Philadelphia City Cavalry (aka, A Troop, 1st Squadron, 104th Cavalry Regiment), established in 1775. They actually still have horses, and still do old time cavalry drills with sabers and such on those horses. Oh, and their dress uniforms look like something out of the Napoleonic Wars.

Other than the uniforms, does that sound like a part of our Aggie Corps?

I'd love to see First Troop, or part of them, do the ride in with Parson's, maybe even get to do some horse drill training. And return the favor in a home and home, of course.

This one is a bit of a stretch, geographically speaking, since State College is 190 miles or so from Philly. If anyone knows of a good football school closer to Philly (no disrespect to Temple, but they'd get crushed, and what fun is that?), suggestions are welcome.

Alright folks, what would you like to see? (And yes, we all want to play t.u.; just take that as a given.)

I'd say the zoomies so I could run my mouth at work to my coworkers, but the only ones that really give a **** are the former football players themselves.

1. Penn State - I grew up in PA. Most of my friends root for Penn State. My son's mother is a Penn State grad. I attend Penn State games. Would love to see the Aggies play up here in State College and drag my friends down to College Station

2. Virginia Tech - The same Corps reason as above and Lane Stadium is on my bucket list of places to see a game.

Florida State, Michigan, vs Rutgers in Metlife Stadium

2 schools - 1)Hawaii - be awesome to see Aggie football there. 2)Tcu - I live in Fort Worth. The crying and wailing would be glorious after Jimbo made Patterson bite the curb.

Naval Academy. Ring knockers are good eggs but you still like proving their not demigods (if only in their own head).


I'm sure the same goes for the AFA and USMA for other Ags.


Perhaps a rotation of ass whippings could be arranged.
Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting.
