I must say, I was quite impressed with TAMU.

Coming back to Texas (and particularly A&M), I expected a hospitable crowd, but it was above and beyond that. Not only did we get to lead their parade, but all along the route, the walls of maroon t-shirts were clapping, cheering, and shouting ‘Go Army!’ It was a good feeling to hear the other team cheering you on. It was just great to be back in that Texas country hospitality :)

I did feel sorry for the Fish there; the ****heads had to assert their alpha male-ness and show off for the Kaydets with some extra hazing, but other than that, the trip was swell ;)

PS - It’s not a bad word, it’s just what they call them!!!

Also, I talked to my sponsor Cadet and he told me the reason he was at TAMU was because he didn’t get into USMA. Between my friends at the Corps and a few Cadets I talked to over the weekend, that is a prevailing theme among their Cadets. Having been in that position for the last two years, I think those Aggies are to be STRONGLY commended for their hospitality and attitudes over the weekend. I know what it’s like to be in their place, on the outside looking in; it’s not easy to keep a good attitude during it all. I was impressed.
