Was in line at Little Douies for barbeque after we wore black against MSU in 2012. Was standing right by AD and he was asked why we wore black. He said it was in response to MSU's white out for the 2012 game which was publicized on social media to commemorate their "Snow Bowl" win over us in the Independence Bowl.

I have MSU grad relatives and they consider their "Snow Bowl" win over us as absolutely one of their great all time wins. I caught a lot of crap from Bulldogs over that.

So tommorrow let's "BTHO State!".

No it's not. They changed the field. Changed the yell leaders. Go buy something black.

I was at the 2012 game, and what a glorious ass whooping that was. Stunned State fans everywhere mad they didn't get to use their clanga clanga machines much. They got their payback two years later when A&M wore these wretched uniforms:

Just paint your face instead. I think everyone will be ok with that as a concession for wearing maroon.

Late edit: didn't see the other two quicker posts.

That team man... JFF handing off to Malena, Christine Michael & Trey Williams. Throwing to Mike Evans & Ryan Swope. Protected by a line anchored by Luke Joeckel & Jake Matthews. With plays being called by KK.

If only the college playoffs were a thing that year... there wasn't a team in the country that could hang with us once we got rolling in the 2nd half of the season.

I had totally forgotten about this. Cringe that they think that much about the snow bowl. Very TT-esque.

(You can see "snowbowl" in their endzones in the 2012 highlights video... lol)

for all the **** texags gives our field crew for our enzones and the "GRIT" on the sidelines, at least we dont have "#SNOWBOWL" in the endzone.

Haha totally agree.... that #snowbowl is all kinds of inferiority complex mixed with obsession from literally 12 years prior....

Sherman built the incredible NC caliber team, but needed an OC to help him...

Greatly prefer the ATM with the state outline helmet over the script Aggies. Ah well, just win!

I rented a RV and took my daughter and her boyfriend to that game. She was a senior at A&M at the time. We had great seats and it was a great game except we couldn't play defense in the fourth quarter. The snow made the game and it was not that cold. I went gambling later and won some money. The drive back to Houston in that Winnebago was pure hell because of the snow and ice. Fun times.

Add EZ Nwachaku and Spencer Nealy (defense) to that list. Such an easy team to like.

Like someone else alluded, say what you want about Sherman, but he could recruit guys with both talent and heart.
