Service academies/Senior Military Colleges tend to value class rings

the "service members" make up a few thousand of your 50,000 undergraduate students. why do all of you get rings?

It isn't weird, it's awesome. Employers know if I am qualified for a job the second they see my hand.

You should have been in the SEC all along. That way all those soul crushing defeats to UT Big Brother could have been to LSU Big Brother instead. Glad you are enjoying the conference.

You know how many people apply for a published job nowadays? Welcome to the labor market in 2016. Any advantage helps.

Tradition. Because we used to be all-military.

Not really.

I mean, don't get me wrong, we have scores of weird traditions, but the ring thing is hardly TAMU-specific.

I met some tamu guy at Ivars after the 2013 game and asked him what year he graduated--I assumed he was a graduate based on the fact that he was wearing a class ring in the fall.

He said you basically get a ring by making it to your junior year. WTF is that shite? Is the bar set so low in college station that they start handing out class rings just because you finished all of your prerequisite courses?

yea, your women's sports are arse kickers. also the horse thing.

seriously, you have a very good basketball and also a very good baseball team. I have always thought that you aggies underachieved in baseball (most years), esp with the talent in the state but you got it together now. I would say you are poised for results.
