Favorite memory was from my freshman year in 2010 watching the buildup at the end of the season including the Oklahoma game and especially the 9-6 thriller over Nebraska. That game was packed and LOUD and stressful & exhausting to watch and yell for!

1979 vs tu
We won 13-7 and the game was sold out and the game was shown at G Rollie with 2 yell leaders present. I was like 7 spots in line on Fish ticket pull when they stopped the ticket pull and watched it in our basketball gym.

One of my most lasting memories- October 1979 vs U Houston, who a year earlier beat favored A&M 33-0 - leading indirectly to Bellard stepping away.

Now a year later at Kyle Field, underdog Ags leading 14-10 in closing minute. UH drives the length of field,
and scores a last second heart-breaking TD to win 17-14. But THAT'S not the reason- what happened AFTER was.

We were loyal Ags and true 12th Man. UH players were strutting and hollering. and celebrating with their fans and giving Ags grief. Then, we started our post-game yell practice for not yelling hard enough for our boys to win that one.

IT WAS THE LOOK ON THE FACES OF THE UH PLAYERS AND FANS, and their sudden stunned silence, that made me swell with pride and bring home what it meant to this fish to be a Fightin' Texas Aggie who supports their team win or lose.

Thousands of voices ringing down from three decks,
and the shocked faces of our opponents. THAT'S what I remember.

The 1998 home win over the #2 ranked Huskers, without a doubt.

Nobody gave A&M a chance because the Huskers were so dominant at that time and riding a 19 game win streak.

The first ever Maroon-Out game.

Dante Hall and Ja'Mar "Tooooooombs" in the backfield. The stadium was absolutely shaking in celebration when Curry made the game-sealing interception. I was sure our bench was going to come off its hinges because every student in our row was jumping up and down.

Very cool story, Divining. Sadly, that will never happen again. The student body (and the rest of the stadium) no longer stay until the end of the game anymore.

1999 Oklahoma St vs Texas A&M. As an early birthday present, dad took me to my first A&M game. It was raining, it was cold and it was at that moment, my dad who was a razorback grad knew he lost me to the Aggies.

Student game… 2006 tu in Austin. McGee TD with arms raised up. Sitting in the sip student section and they were stunned.

Non-student game… 1998 Nebraska. First Martin Out game. Tombs gashing the blackshirts. Was an awesome day!

Not sure if the question was asking "in person" football memory or not.

In Person: 1992 game vs Texas in Austin. Undefeated season prior to the bowl and I knew it was my last game as a student. Didn't hurt that we mudhole stomped Texas, but honestly was not because it was the Texas game, but that it would be my last game as a student and had my with me. I was very close to my mother, and our dear friends from Buffalo NY came down for the holiday and the game. We went to Bonfire in CS, then over to Austin for the game. I was proud of being in the Corps and wanted my uniform and boots to stand out in the stands, so I chose not to wear my overcoat that cold night, and pretended I wasn't freezing. Guess it paid off, since there was a very quick shot of us in the stands on TV between commercials.

Not in Person: The 1990 Holiday Bowl vs BYU. IYKYK

mortal- that is really sad. not sure when that ended.

And you know, it was really cathartic in additio. to all the other awesomeness of it. kinda brought you back after huge dissapointment and left you with a feeling that "hey, whatever happened today, we got something special here at Texas A&M, and we'll get past it.

I too was at the Houston game in '89.....nobody gave us a chance but you could just feel it when you got to the stadium. It was so loud they couldn't call plays from scrimmage and Slocum blitzed practically every down, not giving Ware time to operate. It was an amazing win.

My other best memory was when I ate a bunch of Bar S hot dogs and couldn't stop burping them throughout the game. The girl in front of me broke up with her boyfriend over it because she thought it was him...don't remember what game it was though.

1985 vs tu, my freshman year. 42-10 Ags. First Cotton Bowl for A&M since the year of my birth, 1967. Cotton balls flying everywhere in the stands. Was the beginning of a personal streak where I did not experience a loss to the sips as a student. This is my unequivocal top game as a student.

1986 vs Baylor - down early and even well into the second half, the Ags fought back for what Dave Campbell anointed the Game of the Decade with a last second TD for a 31-30 A&M victory.

1986 Cotton Bowl - Bo No Go / 1988 Cotton Bowl - took down the Irish in our first-ever game against them
