Ever heard of the Aggie List Eater? True story.

Student have had a tradition of signing up for bowl tickets after it is announced that the Aggies are playing in a bowl game. This list constitutes the order in which you get to pull your student tickets for the bowl game. The 2005 Cotton Bowl (vs Tennessee) had a such a list, but one of the students decided to ignore protocol and pushed to the head of the line. When the students showed her the list and told her to go to the back of the line, she ate the list. Thus began the Legend of the List Eater. The offending student stayed at second place in the line, got her tickets and left. No violence took place as far as police were concerned. Perhaps some other Aggies here could give more information. It did make the news.

Here is a story from Fox Sports.

Hope that link will work.

Here is a video, too.

aTm has some unique traditions, but this was too good not to share for the weekend.

Edited to correct links.

That's not a fricking tradition. It's called common sense.

so the guy shows her a piece of paper and she snatches and eats it? instead of just printing out another copy he's like welp i guess you win.

is that the jist of the story? if so...just another reason your school is beyond weird.

this could be framed as the Dumb Crap Women

List Eater was damned funny at the time. Even Fran got involved and put his two cents in.
