I will pass the century mark in Aggie Football game attendance this year, but I did something on Saturday that I've never done before......I sat on the Former Student side of the stadium. This was a pretty big step for me. I really enjoy standing with the 12th Man during the game, doing the yells, soaking up the atmosphere, etc. I had a nice seat on the 2nd row of the 3rd deck (45 yard line), so I had a nice view of the game. It was interesting to hear how loud the students yelled throughout the game and it was pretty cool to see all of those 12th Man towels waving when the Texas Aggies were on defense. It was a fun game to watch. The Aggies won 38-30. For those wondering when I attended my first Aggie football game, well that was September 14, 1991. The Aggies beat a certain Louisiana school 45-7 (also the 1st victory to begin a streak of 5 straight wins). Freshman Greg Hill rushed for 212 yards in that game. Hill was inducted into the Texas A&M Hall of Fame this past weekend.....pretty wild!
.....now on to the other events of the evening
As you can see in the above picture, Kyle Field was taken over by winged insects at the beginning of the 3rd quarter. I have never seen so many insects in my life! There were crickets all over the place (see below picture) and bugs trying to whisper sweet nothings in my ear! When I told Bethany about it the following morning.....she said that the radio guys mentioned that they had never seen something like that at Kyle Field. I guess the bugs were welcoming me to the other side of Kyle Field.
