For those who know what happen care to elaborate? I've heard it wasn't us but aggholes who started the fights..
Well documented that it was Ag on Ag violence. That's about it.
the aggys are no where near innocent - no matter how much they lie when the crowd was in the south end zone parading the goalposts around the aggs started throwin the 'bring it' hand gesture
Our stout defense started that scuffle
Tech fans took down the south goalposts and carried them across the field to the north side, where they attempted to push them into the Aggie section. (Some claim they were trying to carry the goalposts outside the stadium to put at the feet of Will Rogers like they had done two years earlier. Another claim is that Aggie students were throwing ice at the crowd. I blame mob mentality.) Aggies stood and watch as the crowd came towards them, then started pushing and hitting the Tech fans that came over the rails. "Alamo" Mike McKinney, then a member of Rick Perry's staff and future chancellor of the A&M system, started twirling his binoculars like a morning star and was about to go on the attack. The next year, A&M's media guide described Tech as being run by "classless clowns," among other insults.
I contributed.
The crowd was more than willing to carry the goal post out the southeast tunnel, but Gerald had security block off the exit. The mention of Gerald should tell you how quickly it went bad from tis point on. The Aggies were having yell practice. The pooch was still on the field. The milkmen were still hand gesturing. The goal post came down. The aborted attempt to parade out the southeast tunnel led to the next series of events. The crowd turned and headed north. Then northeast. Fifty+ year old Aggies were turning around and headed back to the visitor's section. The freshman guards for the pooch became very nervous and scooped up the little dog. Good thing as he was probably headed for a tailgate. The old aggies were yelling and waving arms at the students. The old aggie ladies were sitting there defiantly and not budging from the seats for which their license had already expired. The crowd makes the northeast corner and a few students jump the rail to help guide the goal post up and out of the stadium. This is about the time it really went dixie. Col. Mike and his band of volunteers braced themselves for the onslaught. Col. Mike was swinging his binoculars like a sissy. He finally connected with a Black kid that made it over the rail. The kid clocks him in the eye. Tech admin blamed the entire thing on Tech fans. Typical Tech. Mike Leach took up for Tech fans and in so doing swayed me to his side. I always appreciated his kind words for Tech fans and his condemnation of the aggie fans that day.
Aggy lost. So instead of getting up after the game was over and moving their polyester maroon pants out of the stadium and on to Golden Corral for dinner, aggy waits for a goal post located 120 yards away to show up. With all that high falutin hi IQ aggy and wife Myrtle don't have the sense to get out of the way of a moving goal post. Get it? Then they trash talk a bunch of kids just enjoying a little college hijinx.
The Aggies owe their very own part of the Jones? NO, the game was 30 minutes over, get out, go home, lick your wounds. Instead the Aggies stayed in their rented seats to practice being idiots and yelling during the Tech school song.
I hope we can get some of that swagger back and make Jones Stadium extremely intimidating for the aggholes.
Even before this incident happened I've always had a problem with schools getting away with this. To allow an opponent to have school sponsored chanting after a game in someone else's stadium is just asking for trouble. I'll never understand why the Big12 nor the NCAA won't put a stop to this.
Aggy thinks they have the market cornered on class, but I recall an incident where aTm students stole a wheelchair at Kyle Field and were busted joyriding it and mocking the elderly woman they stole it from.
I thought I read that an aggy journalist wrote about the game and said they were going to beat us and tear down the goal post then take it back to College Station. So at the time I was thinking we were just handing them the goal post since they wanted it. Loved it though!
I also remember that the Aggie band would start playing after the Goin' Band was already playing that entire game, including interrupting the Matador Song after the end of the game. Our seats were in Section 7, so a lot of the post-game activity was right across the field. My then 68-year-old dad said, "I hope they whip some Aggie ass because that's what they're asking for. The damn game was over 10 minutes ago. They lost and they need to get the hell out of our stadium."
ags deserved everything they got...they were idiots.
I don't have a problem with the Aggie fans hanging around after the game. And I don't have a problem with the Aggie Band doing their thing. But I have a big problem with the 10 or 20 Aggies that left their spots in the SE corner of the end zone bleachers to run over to the aisle section to meet the Tech kids with the goal post. Those guys were looking for a fight, plain and simple.
