Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Aggy :: National media finally catching on...

(...and it's about time)

from pat forde's horribly-named forde-yard dash:

Bad Dog

Texas A&M mascot Reveille VII (35), the collie that sits on the sideline at Aggies games, was benched last week for snapping at her handler after the guy stepped on her tail. Sounds like he had it coming.

But here's the part of the wire story that stopped The Dash: "Reveille is considered the highest-ranking member of the school's Corps of Cadets and stands at attention in her maroon coat during sporting events and other functions."

Highest-ranking member of the Corps of Cadets? Do they salute the dog? Are there medals on the dog's coat? And why does the dog wear a coat to begin with?

If Reveille outranks the humans, what right do they have to discipline her for biting one of them? Shouldn't the correct response to a bite from a commanding officer be, "Thank you, ma'am, may I have another?"

Tough as Reveille might be, The Dash would rather take its chances with her than Ralphie (36) the buffalo or Mike (37) the tiger.

gotta love it.

Yes, they salute the fool dog.

and do much other weird stuff. This revelee thing is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to aggee weerdness. The truth is stranger than fiction.
