Softly call the Muster...

Today is April 21st and that is significant to any Texas Aggie out there. Today is Muster. Basically it is a time that began in 1883 when Aggies gather to honor those who have passed over the last year, since the last Muster. It is also a time when we reaffirm our ties to Texas A&M and to our Aggie family. As I would not come anywhere near doing an explanation justice, if you are interested, please read this.

Some may boast of prowess bold,
Of the school they think so grand,
But there's a spirit can ne'er be told,
Its the Spirit of Aggieland.
We are the Aggies, the Aggies are we.
True to each other, as Aggies can be.
We've got to fight boys, we've got to fight.
We've got to fight for maroon and white.
After they've boosted all the rest,
They will come and join the best,
For we are the Aggies, the Aggies are we,
We're from TEXAS AMC.

(I like the old lyrics best. Call me a purist.)
Gig'em!

Last thing... I promise. I had to add those annoying little funky letters because of spam comments. I'd just like to say that I hate spam. And now that makes me think of Monty Python... "Spam, spam, spam, spam..."
