re: Tonight, Texas A&M's campus will darken for Silver Taps

I don't know enough about TAMU to call out any specific tradition, nor do I really want to. It just seems at some point, rather than letting traditions come naturally, the focus became developing a lot of traditions for the sake of being very traditional. Not sure anything is wrong with that, I just wonder how I'd feel if there were a tradition for everything I encountered as a student or alumni. Basically I'm curious as to whether I'd get tired of it or feel like it was forced.

FWIW, I wish AU had a few more major traditions, so it may be a little hypocritical.
