Texas A&M's policy of handing out numbers based on ACT scores has created some obvious confusion - as well as a record number of "12th Men"

by JT Longhorn on Sep 10, 2007 12:21 PM CDT reply actions  

After a much heralded 47 - 45 triple OT win over

Fresno State, a top 100 team, Texas A&M players are already looking forward to their contest against The University of Texas (UT has yet to beat a Top 25 team by less then 21 points this season).

how about what could be a real caption

"Aggie football players celebrate a triple-overtime victory over unranked Fresno State by displaying an upside-down version of the 'Hook Em Horns' - which is the University of Texas' hand symbol."

This is what the caption honestly could have been.  That should be sad enough.

sawed off

Thought to be a pre-season gaffe...turns out that after 3 overtime periods of brainstorming...the aggies figured out how to count past 10.

My try...

"Douchebags steal University of Oklahoma's hand symbol."

If you want, you can add this to the first one:

"When asked, they said they decided not to "saw 'em off" since their buddy wasn't able to reattach his when he tried it."

Probably wouldn't add this but here it is anyways:

"After pointing out that A&M has a hand sign, the players respond, 'what the hell does gig 'em mean?'"

Touching

Javorskie Lane escorts two special needs students onto the field after buying each an authentic Stormy Case jersey off the clearance rack at the bookstore. One of the unfortunate young men was disabled by the small Irish head growing out of his neck.

I guess it was the beatings made me wise. But I'm not about to give thanks, or apologize.

Update: Somehow, USF did NOT join the realm of the "ranked" this week, coming in 26th in the AP poll. Apparently, Texas A&M's triple-overtime home victory over Fresno State was more impressive.

Texas A&M's iconic mascot, Reveille, was suspended from the game Saturday after biting her handler's hand during the week, a Corps of Cadets spokesman said.

According to state law, Reveille must be kept away from Kyle Field while the state investigates the incident.

Ravenous A&M running back devours own, teammate's fingers

Following a near upset, Texas A&M RB Jorvorskie Lane, famished from the double OT game against unranked Fresno State, bit off the middle and ring fingers on both of his own hands as well as the middle and ring fingers of A&M DB Charles Roy's right hand. When asked for comment, Lane grunted simply, "Jorvorskie smash!!!".

After easy wins in the spring game and August scrimmage, the Aggies rallied behind the 12th Man to crush a powerful Fresno State team and start the season 4-0 for the first time since 1873.  The Ags also screwed many fans of their in-state rival, Texas, by playing just poorly enough to force triple-overtime and prevent Longhorns fans from enjoying the entire 1st quarter of the UT - TCU game on FSN.  True to Aggey form, the three musketeers shown above failed to realize that FSN had already switched to Austin before they could flash their OU hand signal which they had practiced for a solid three months.

Why were the stands empty?

After the 2nd OT, I noticed the fans hurrying to the other side of the stadium to provide noise for the Fresno State offense.  So why was the heralded Kyle Field so empty?  Did the fans leave early for the cow tipping party?
