Since we're playing the Aggies....

Here are a few sundry, somewhat related items...

1) This is a TV commercial featuring Colt McCoy plugging the family pharmacy in his high school days. According to Brent Musberger, with those beautiful blue eyes, Colt must be really popular with the ladies down in Austin.

(Hey Brent - Eyes up here!)

2) Aggies are an honorable bunch, always looking to better their world. Take this Aggie, for instance, who, in an effort to clean some manure off of the field, accidently hit the Longhorn band...

3) They also care about important causes. In an effort to raise awareness of, ahem, male cancer issues, these Aggie cadet members enthusiastially demonstrate self-examination at the Texas Tech game...

4) Texas isn't the only school who has won a National Championship recently. You know the Aggies are mighty proud of their Meat-Judging program, which has won 14 national titles. That's dominance the Longhorns can only dream of...

5) Aggies are great innovators who come up with life-altering advances in science and physics. Take the visionary Aggie who invented the maroon carrot (because it just wasn't right that God made them orange), or the Aggie professor who made gold through alchemy and achieved cold fusion, thereby solving all the energy and money problems in the world...

6) The Aggie football players are tough. Check out Leeland McElroy, who is somehow still in one piece after a collision with Texas cornerback Bryant Westbrook.

7) Aggies have a great fight song that they can be proud of. I don't think it's at all sad when your fight song revolves around your burning desire to beat your biggest rival, and you've beaten that rival only 34 times in 112 tries, and are 0-for-the Third Millenium AD...

8) And finally, Aggies don't cry when their team loses. Sooners do, though...

Here's to 7 straight wins over the Aggies come Friday, and to the Blues Brothers being on as I write this. Happy Thanksgiving...
