The AGS are playing some good ball this year. A good buddy of mine was at the game tonight and said it was a really fun game to watch.

Congrats to atm on the win. Gillespie has done an excellent job with that program in such a short time. The Big 12 is a very tough conference and there is still a lot of BB yet to be played. It should be interesting when atm comes to Austin later in the season.

Hell ya it was!!! It was so fun to rush the court. I have never done that before

Ben R

Rushing the court/field is very dangerous. Don't ever do it.

Help me to understand something here. I thought that anytime anyone rushed the field or court at atm the toy soldier CT's try to beat the hell out of whoever does it. Does this only apply to non-aggie fans or aggie fans as well?

It seems to me the people who have been assaulted in CS are the opposing team's fans who want to celebrate a victory with their team by going onto the field or court after a win in CS. The aggie corp turds come across as sore losers when they assault people like this.

I'm not condoning the action of any visiting fans who go onto a home team's field or court. If it is announced or posted that it is trespassing then those who do go onto the posted area should be dealt with by security or police, not some pimple faced toy soldier. If this is allowed to continue at atm its a time bomb waiting to go off and the school will eventually be held accountable/sued.

I would imagine that visiting team fans would not be allowed on the court/field, but aggies are. It was about damn time. We haven't done that in a while!!

Kyle Field is a memorial to Aggie Soldiers.

And please, Matt, pull your head out of your *** with the whole 'Toy Soldier' thing. It's old. Really old.

Aww, somebody got sand in their vagina.

Kyle Field in NOT a memorial to fallen Aggie soldiers. There is nothing sacred about the stadium or the field. The Memorial Student Center is the memorial at the school for the war veterans who have died in service, not the field. Maybe you ought to pull your head out of YOUR *** before you post something like that and make a fool out of youself. You seem to get your underwear in a knot over any post I make about atm. Get over it dude.

FYI, DKRTMS in Austin is a war memorial to soldiers that have given their lives in combat. The UT student body decided to dedicate the stadium in honor of the 198,520 Texans — 5,280 of whom lost their lives — who fought in World War I. On Veteran’s Recognition Day 1996, the stadium was rededicated to veterans of all wars in an effort to insure the memory of those who fought valiantly to preserve freedom.

Why does it irritate you if I poke fun at the CT's? As goofy as they are, they bring the ridicule on themselves. You must also believe in Santa Claus if you think the atm corps is real army. Can you tell me what percentage of the corps frat goes into the military? Thats really all it is is a warped, wacko frat. I'll bet you the percentage of CT's that actually end up in the military is in the single digit percentage. Can you prove me wrong?

Thats a pretty sad reflection of a group who takes itself so seriously and thinks they're "army". This country would be in a world of hurt if it depended on those dorks to defend us.

Damn it! These threads always seem to get locked in the end, and someone in the middle that jumps into it will get blocked.

but it was a great game.

We played a good game and are doing much better than last year. Lets hope it continues.

Also should've known PiP would jump in w/ the dumbass comments, as he does w/ every A&M thread.

By looking at your avatar I would say that you are an avid A&M fan. As sad as i am to say it you are right. Kyle field is not a memorial. Although the toy soldier thing is kinda old. At least we have people at our school that enjoy the military atmosphere and actively participate in it. What is the percentage of TU students that go into the armed forces? I'll bet it is even less!

Go aggies

lol it is great to see all the hypocritical horns ***** up our thread after criticizing aggies that did the same thing back during the football season...

MMiller must be a lawyer now...talking about A&M and lawsuits...if anyone was going to sue they would have a long time ago…


I would think that after this win we would be ranked..

Gillespie is a badass...he did his magic for UTEP and is now doing it at A&M...WHOOP!

Info taken from various websites…

The Corps at Texas A&M University is the largest military Corps of Cadets outside the three major military service academies. It is the largest Corps of Cadets of the six Senior Military Universities which includes: VMI, Citadel, Virginia Tech, Norwich, and North Georgia. At Texas A&M all four branches of the Armed Forces provide training during the first two years but no military obligation is required. A cadet must pursue a military commission to enter active duty in one of the branches of the Armed Forces after graduation.

The Ross Volunteer Company, the oldest student organization in the state, is an honor company composed of junior and senior cadets. The unit is the official honor guard for the Governor of Texas and marches in major parades.

From the first days of A&M's history, the military tradition has been deeply ingrained in this school as a distinguishing element of its character. Ever since the Spanish-American War of 1898 Aggies have served with honor in virtually every conflict in which the United States has been involved. Eight Aggies have been awarded the United States’ highest military award, the Medal of Honor. Over 225 Aggies have become Generals and Admirals. Today, around the world, the men and women of A&M continue their exemplary service in defense of our great nation.

Answering the Call to Arms
In April 1917, America was drawn into the conflict raging in Europe that came to be known as World War I. In typical Aggie fashion, Cadets answered the call to arms. The senior class of 1917 volunteered in a body for officer's training at Leon Springs, near San Antonio, a month before the end of school. Recognizing the patriotic motive of this action, the College awarded them their degrees. Training could not be interrupted for academic ceremonies on the campus, and that year the graduation exercises for Texas A&M were held under a large oak tree in the hills near San Antonio. Fifty-five Aggies gave their lives in this war and many more were wounded in the service of their country.


The College steadily expanded between the two World Wars of the 20th Century. By 1941, the enrollment stood at 6,500. The physical plant had developed from the original two buildings and 2,416 acres to over seventy major buildings with a total value of approximately 15 million dollars.

Quick to Respond
On December 7, 1941, America was plunged into World War II, and Aggies were again quick to respond to the nation's call to arms. In order to speed up its contribution of well-trained men, the college instituted a twelve-month, three-semester program of study. In addition, the College offered training to Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP) Cadets, Army Air Corps, Navy radio specialists, and Marine Corps trainees. Some 5,000 reserve officers who had been trained and commissioned at A&M, and another 7,000 who had received some military training here, were commissioned through Officers Candidate Schools answering the call to arms during World War II. Six thousand more served effectively as the direct result of A&M training, most of them noncommissioned officers. The service of these 18,000 Aggies did much to enhance the brilliant record of Texas A&M as well as to uphold the tradition of "the fightin' Texas Aggies".

General Douglas MacArthur
During the early stages of World War II General Douglas MacArthur wrote:
"...Texas A&M is writing its own military history in the blood of its graduates... No name stands out more brilliantly than the heroic defender of Corregidor, General George F. Moore. Whenever I see a Texas man in my command, I have a feeling of confidence..."


Anyhow...that is all irrelevant...the point is that A&M won the game

Aggies corps turds go around beating their chests saying "look at us were real army" when they're not. Thankfully you don't find that kind of clan at UT. My point is that the corps likes to think they are some kind of respected pipeline to the military. Spin it how you want, but outside of CS the corps is the butt of everyone's jokes. Most of the Aggies I know seem to be embarrassed by the corps and don't give them a lot of respect, which is understandable.

Back to the original subject thread, congrats to the Ags for taking it to the Longhorns. After the two previous coaches couldn't get the job done, Gillespie has been very impressive. That was a great hire.

As sad as it is, mmiller is actually right. I am @atm right now and it sort of enrages me to see a fat corp guy walking around because they wouldnt tolerate that kind of laziness back in the day of the "real corps of cadets". They would run his *** skinny, or kick him out. Makes me want to set him on fire and do a little dance around him, but maybe thats just me . Anyways, yeah its sad really that there is such a small percentage that enlists after they finish college, and to tell you the truth, its mainly because if you decide to join the corps, they waive your gpa and you are accepted. It makes me sick to my stomach with all the people that try to take advantage of that. But I guess there isnt much I can do about it.

I agree, there are some guys in the corps that are pathetic and should have never been admitted to ANY university. I still think it is not fair to crucify an entire program with such wonderful history and tradition because of a few rotten apples people see walking on campus or embarrassing A&M during football games. The "idea" behind the corps is great.... it is just those few that ruin it for the bunch that should be kicked out. Anyways, most people don’t go to A&M to be in the Corp of Cadets.

Why do we always end up discussing the Corps, etc. in these threads when it was originally meant to congratulate the aggies on a great win?
