There is a Spirit that can ne'er be told, It is the Spirit of Aggieland

In case anyone besides me has been wondering whether Texas A&M has lost its soul since the way the school administration botched the firing of head football coach Mike Sherman,  let me assure you that while the Administration and Board of Regents may have lost their way, the student body and the Aggie Alumni continue to demonstrate that the Spirit of Aggieland is in very good hands.  The following article from by Roy Exum from the Chattanoogin, hammers this home.

The most moving quote, from one of the Aggie family concludes the article, "Lt. Col. Steven Ruth, a classmate of Roy Tisdale’s at A&M and a lifelong friend, was so overcome by the emotional outpouring that he even asked one attractive lady wearing a maroon tee shirt – who he thought might be close to his age -- if she had ever known Roy Tisdale. “He’s the son of Aggieland, sir. There are no strangers on this road.”


Rarely does this kind of positive patriotic American loving spirit get any attention in the media!


Gig Em!  And thank God for the US Military and Texas A&M and Roy Exum!
