There is no question that A&M is a cult and the Corps especially. Hearing Aggies argue about traditions sometimes resembles two Biblical scholars arguing about the meaning of the Ten Commandments. We take some things WAY too seriously. I mean when the Zone was built at A&M there was a huge uproar because the design no longer had a tunnel so that the graves of the Reveille's could see the scoreboard. Folks got incredibly worked up about this because of the "tradition" that was really just started as a coincidence that there was a space 50 years before they could put the graves at that happened to be in sight of the old scoreboard. In the end they put up a special scoreboard that is there for the dead dogs. To an Aggie that's awesome, to many outsiders that is just BSC. The other issue is most of the traditions have evolved many times over the years and there is a saying at A&M that "Once you do something twice, it is a tradition!"
When we redo Kyle, even though the Zone will likely remain untouched, we need to upgrade the scoreboard for the Revielles. It is a high school basketball gym scoreboard. Not good enough. At all.

fricking this. There better be a sick jumbotron replay board for them out there complete with it's own Sodolak's ads. frick it, put ribbon boards around the damn thing too. The old school Daktronics scoreboard for the Reveilles is more embarrassing than the bat shite IMO
