Aggie Fight Song
For many (most?) Texans “Rivalry Weekend” hasn’t even happened, yet. Friday the dismally bad Texas A&M Aggies (2-5 / 4-7) will play the easily dispirited University of Texas Longhorns(6-1 / 9-2), and it’s not as cut and dried as the numbers show. Even ignoring how easily the Texas game plan was disrupted during the loss to the Arkansas Razorbacks (and you just can’t count the loss to Oklahoma — there are several pro teams who couldn’t handle them), this game can be easily thrown by non-Athletic events. The tragic Aggie bonfire incident brought tears to the eyes of all Texans and fired up the Aggies to a win against the statistical odds in 1999. This year the Longhorns are facing second QB Mock considering transferring (second — not backup) even though he’s sure to be known historically as the Longhorn’s 2 minute QB if he stays. (Maybe Mack has figured out the right use for dual QBs?) Everyone on both sides of this rivalry will say “the stats don’t matter come Thanksgiving”, so here’s my log on the spirit fire.
(sung to the tune of the aggie war hymn)
We are a bunch of country hicks,
We are a bunch of country hicks.
We are the kiddies of the kiddie korps,
All little aggies ages two to four.
We play the soldier boy from morn to night,
We are the boys with that “real high voice!”
“The Eyes of Texas are Upon You”,
That is the song they sing so well… “Makes me so mad I could just spit!”
So, all hail the mighty university,
We’re gonna beat you all to ricky-ticky zam, ricky-ticky zam,
All to hell with Texas A & M!
I want my mommy I want my mommy,
I want my mommy NOW!! - dangit.
