Game Day in Aggieland

Game day was awesome, like always. We went early so we could get to the quad to see the corp step off (boy did this bring back some memories). We walked around and showed the boys some things, and prepared them for the cannon to blow. This was the first time they experience the cannon so close that they could feel the ground (and their bodies) shake. They stood in disbelief as the band stepped off to the Aggie War Hymn and marched right by us on their way to Kyle Field. We then made our way to the field to watch march in and got ready for the game against Army. There were four choppers, which did the fly over before the game and parachuters who carried the game ball - hitting their marks landing right on the T, A, and M in the center of the field. During halftime (our favorite part) the Aggie Band was once again specular, followed by the Cadet Chior who sang God Bless America. To make it even more amazing cadet members covered the field with a huge flag. An experience that put a lump in your throat, a tear in your eye, and makes you proud to be a part of this Great Country. The game is always better when the Aggies win (21-17). J-Train made an impression pushing his way to the end zone. Saturday was military appreciation day, which made it even more awesome. Several times during the game Aggies from Iraq were saying hello to family members and wishing the Aggies the best of luck.
