I don’t have a poster account at TexAgs, but here’s the text for someone to post there:
Subject: Thank You, Aggies – A Night to Remember at Kyle Field
Howdy, Aggies!
I’m not a Texas fan, but I’ll admit I came into Saturday night’s game between the Aggies and Longhorns expecting to cheer for the burnt orange. I’m an SEC fan through and through (Hotty Toddy from an Ole Miss Rebel), and I’ve always wanted to experience a game at the legendary Kyle Field. When the opportunity came to see this game, I couldn’t pass it up, even if it meant missing my own Rebels in action.
Let me tell you: it was worth every second.
From the moment my family and I stepped onto campus, we were blown away by the hospitality and energy of the Aggie community. The tailgates were unlike anything we’ve ever seen—every tent seemed to welcome us with open arms, good food, and good conversation. Somewhere along the way, my family and I found ourselves being “swayed” (pun intended) away from Texas and firmly into the Aggie camp. The spirit of the 12th Man is infectious, and by the time we headed into the stadium, we were all yelling “Gig ’em!”
The experience inside Kyle Field was on another level. The crowd noise, the cheers, the precision of your traditions—it was absolutely mesmerizing. And the sheer unity of the 12th Man made me wonder why the rest of us in the SEC can’t get it together quite like y’all do. I even found myself nodding along with some Aggies on a few questionable calls (don’t get me started on the officiating!) and laughing at how absurd Matthew McConaughey looked trying to hype up the Longhorns from the sideline.
In the end, while my heart still belongs to Ole Miss, I have to tip my hat to Texas A&M. Your school spirit, traditions, and game-day environment truly eclipse anything I’ve seen before. Thank you for the unforgettable experience, Aggie family. Y’all have something incredibly special in College Station, and I feel lucky to have been a part of it, even for one night.
Gig ’em,
An SEC Rebel (but now, an Aggie fan at heart—for at least one night)
