This is what makes Aggies so special and why The Spirit of Aggieland is not just a song but a way of life:

Some may boast of prowess bold
Of the school they think so grand
But there is a Spirit can ne'er be told
It's the Spirit of Aggieland
We are the Aggies - the Aggies are we
True to each other as Aggies can be
We've got to fight boys, we've got to fight
We've got to fight for Maroon and White
After they've boosted all the rest
Then they will come and join the best
For we are the Aggies, the Aggies are we
We are from Texas A.M.C.

****Please note tailgate location change****

We need a golf cart people. Here is schedule of events, as it stands:

1)They arrive at 11am Saturday.

2)Get settled in at tailgate party

3)Presentation at noon - Actual tailgate is located at the corner of Olsen & Tom Chandler Drive in the Reed grass!

4)Over to Aggieland Outfitters for shopping spree

5)Thomas Campbell just donated his services to do a special photo of them in front of the 12thMan Statue, so that is last stop before heading into the stadium

6)Dinner at shipwreck Grille before heading back to McKinney

Golf Cart available, it's even the correct color.

I don't have a trailer so someone would need to pick up from my house and bring it back.

I live in South CS.

aggiepaintrain@gmail.com if you need it.

Ya'll got my back if something happens to it?

Seats 4-6.

Just looked online. There is a Ricks golf Cars in college station that looks like they sell pure owned golf carts. One they show online is a 6 seated. Maybe they would rent or donate. Their number is 979 774 5741.

If someone would take the gold cart angle on I would appreciate it. It would need to be at the West Kyle Field Parking lot by 11am.

The Shipwreck Grill has offered a free dinner for Shannon, her husband and the 2 Ags (and their daughter) who are driving them down from McKinney.


Wade and Mary are great people with an excellent local business.

I wish I still lived up there because I sure miss those fish tacos.

Thrilled my family's donation is part of this.

Bumping in case any one missed this.

Maybe my favorite thread of all time.

Proud to be an Aggie ....always...but today even more so.

And whatever happens in this game....I'll still be proud to be an Aggie because of things like this.

Aggie Network - Scott informed me this morning that he had posted the incorrect Class year. Thanks! Knowing she is 2 years younger just motivated me more.

So...oladarmy...thanks for the updates....

question - do they know this is happening - the tix, the extra money, the shopping, dinner, etc......

or do they still think they are just going to tailgate and be there?

AGGIES!

I'm class of '94 but actually graduated in '96, no idea what the official records show as my class, though :-)

Donated!

Her husband actually stumbled on this thread. Bet he was just eyeing to see if there were any tickets within a price range. So he knows but Shannon does not have any idea other than a tailgate party is occurring.

Her husband is running interference from all social media for safety.

Well I just donated.

I was offering tailgate services, parking, etc....but since they had so many offers I'm glad to help out financially instead.

Still hope to get a ticket for Scott.

Good call, I was going to post it to the Aggies in Birmingham Facebook page, but figured I'll hold off until the photos / videos and articles are released.

Don't want her to find out via the Facebookverse.

Not at my desk for dead stick numbers but at this posting we stand just above $8200.

So we have the $6200 check plus the $1000 for the tickets = $7200 expensed currently. That leaves around $1000 already towards next Wednesday's check. YESSIR!

Also - If you happen to have friends or family traveling on I45 that cut across on 105 Conroe to Navasota advise them to continue North on 45 to Huntsville and take 30 to CS.

Some traffic guru thought it would be a good afternoon to move a giant rocket looking tank down 105 that is taller than every traffic signal, powerline, etc. Traffic backed up for miles and it is moving SLLLOOOWWWWW.

We put together a chronology of the story using screencaps from the various TexAgs threads and Twitter. It's at http://tx.ag/TicketsForShannon.

We're shooting still photos and video at the presentation tomorrow and will add that to the page later.
