This is the second time I have seen that Old Sarge metal platter. I inherited one from my dad, originally Class of '60 and a member of D Infantry. I never got to ask him anything about the platter. Was it just something he bought, or did he do something to earn it? Anyone have any back story on the significance of that platter?

My dad got it his fish year class of '58
Squadron 4. He never said anything about it.

5-2, remember the '86 game return home to CS on Sunday? The wreck over the Colorado in Bastrop?

Too bad we also didn't film the slo-mo replay you walk-ons did on a Friday walk-thru. You, Darrel, Hargett, forget who else. Hilarious!

I got hit from behind and my blazer was totaled.
You gave me a ride to College Station. Thanks!
Coach Sherrill got a good laugh out of our slow motion replays.

Anyone remember our JV season in 1983?
Walk-ons and scout team scholarship players played
against juco schools.
Sometimes we played on Thursday night after practice
The trainers would bring out a box of oranges and a box of game jerseys after we practiced for an hour and half.
Then we played a game. It was a lot of fun.

My dad had this hanging up on his wall for as long as I can remember.
An uncommon football team is what we're striving for.
I think we are getting closer every year.

Great memories.
As I recall Domingo Bryant blocked the punt that Scott Polk almost returned for a TD.
Thanks for posting.

If Scott would have been a little faster he would have scored, he sure as hell was trying for that extra speed!!!

I was a walk-on WR in my 5th year.
We were on bus 3 with trainers and support staff.
Not sure how they misspelled my name but I was happy
To be on the bus.
5-2 Stew was my nickname.
Another walk-on WR was 4-3 Free.
Pun based on our 40 times.
He wasn't that fast.
I wasn't that slow.

Gotta be Schap?!?!

The boot line was epic - I was part of it and still don't understand how we were allowed on the field for that. Also remember walking by locker room at halftime onthe way to the boot line - door was open and the team was fired up with a lot of f tu's coming out under of the door!

Good bull.

Some of the WR walk-ons during my three years.
John Free
Bill Pellerin
Pat Sauer
Kyle Hargett
Darrell Schaper

It was an awesome experience.
So many Aggies were there.

Ray, there goes that CLOBBERLINE again!
