Official Howdy/Aggy board check in thread

Lets see how this thread goes. I'll just wack it if it doesn't get any steam

Agforlife here
Family is from Brazos County and has either had a member attending or working for A&M in some capacity for 50 years
I was accepted at A&M but chose to attend Tarleton to get away from home but have been a loyal Ag all my life
Am a semi retired Field Engineer living in Bryan

Hi, I'm octothorpe. Class of 2018, computer engineering. Been to too many football games to remember, and had the chance to sit in the student section for the first time(s) the past two games. Very excited to be on campus next year

I'm Shane, I'm th GOAT punter in NFL history

HOWDY!!!

My name is Trey Felder (yeah, my real name--idgaf......follow me on twatter @ TbirdTr3y_10 ), a.k.a., the #HNIC, and I am the loudest and proudest graduate of the PERFECT Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2010 (WHOOP!). My college was "Wehner High," Mays Business School, were I studied Marketing. Was also a member of Squadron "Thunderbird" 3 in the Corps of Cadets, and am currently on active duty in the Air Force, stationed at Whiteman Air Force Base in Knob Noster, Missouri (but living in nearby Warrensburg, MO).

I'm a second generation Aggie: my dad is retired Air Force, Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of '83, and a former member of Squadron "Gator" 2. He and my mom and 8 siblings still live in College Station. My little brother is the loudest and proudest member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2014, and is also a Mays Business School student.

My wife (username "kissedbyarose" on here--she has like 1 or 2 posts ), is FTACO '11, was also a "Tbird" in the Corps, and is also on active duty with me in MO. She was a Comm major, and we're both working on our master's degrees in Human Services: Executive Leadership through Liberty University. She lurks on here from time to time, but prefers to online shop more than anything, bless her heart

I'm a HUGE fan of the all things A&M athletics (emphasis on football), the San Antonio Spurs, the Michigan Wolverines, the Dallas Cowboys, and NASCAR (Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon ftw). If I'm not here, you can usually find me on TexAgs (same username as here), or PoundingtheRock.com (Spurs' SB nation blog--I'm also a part-time moderator over there. Real name is my username), so holler at me. The way I act on here is pretty much spot on with the way I act IRL, so what you see is what you get

Planning on finding a job back in TX (hopefully San Antonio but we'll see what God wills) after my and my wife's military commitments are over. Pray for us, if y'all believe in that.

Thanks, and Gig 'Em!

I'll keep this thing rolling.

I'm originally from the bustling metropolis of Tyler. I graduated in the best Aggie class of '12 with a degree in International Studies/Business. I ultimately want to build orphanages and train church planters and pastors in Central Africa. I've spent some time overseas, but for now, I am back at school in New Orleans to get my masters. Being one of only 2 Aggies I know here has made for an interesting football season.

I'm David Hyde, from Cleburne. I grew up in a family of Baylor folks and am proudly the black sheep of the family. Company F-1, class of '79. I spent an extra semester at A&M after posting 1 D, the rest F's, due to completely blowing off school and dedicating myself to bonfire my senior year. Not because they needed me, but because I needed bonfire. Or something

I moved to Vicksburg, Mississippi in '82 in the Army and stayed in the same job as a civilian. For the most part I've loved it. The climate and the lack of wind turned me into a bike racer, which never would have happened in Cleburne (or anywhere else in Texas). That was a very fun part of my life.

In the day job we blow stuff up, which is great fun. I turned into a software geek and have a moonlighting software job that is doing reasonably well.

My F-1 old lady and (I still can't get over this) Lutheran minister is also here, but I won't out him.

Rick Smith, class of '84, met and married my wife at A&M, also class of '84 and we've lived in the DFW area since we graduated. Raised 2 girls, classes of '11 and '17. I'm a mortgage lender and my wife is a hospital sales rep. Several other Ags in our family and a lot of LSU grads on her side too. I learn and find out more stuff on the rant than I could ever pick up from the news or ESPN, etc. This place is like a parallel universe for insane SEC fans

I'm aggressor, Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 1993! My name comes from Aggressor 17 which was my outfit in the Corps. We were a new outfit my fish year and were disbanded because of size (the Corps was shrinking fast at that time) my Senior Year. I actually have my Outfit Sign in my backyard by my pool, an interesting thing about it was it was drawn by a Sr from our Sister Outfit we broke away from "Thrashin 3", a guy named Benjamin Knox.

I live in Austin with my wife and 2 boys and am a 2nd Generation. My Dad was Head Yell Leader in '58 who was career AF and is retired to CS where he is the hardest core Old Ag I have ever seen. He and my Mom have Season tix to at least 7 sports, he was Class Agent for decades, and is a volunteering maniac.

My first Aggie game was in 1979 when A&M beat Penn State in Happy Valley with Curtis Dickey running wild. Been hooked ever since.

Howdy

Born and raised in Fort Worth

Currently a senior Geophysics major at Texas A&M (going for a victory lap next year though)

I grew up in a burnt orange household, but my brother and I both ended up at A&M and have since done a pretty good job converting everybody to the good side.
