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.

Cool stuff. That day was opening day of dove season in El Campo, Tx, that year. Shot a bunch of doves that morning, then listened to the game on radio from my grandmother's couch that afternoon. A glorious day all around.

Curtis played for Bryan, same district as Cleburne. The game was not pretty for Cleburne fans and really ugly for a DT guy. I got introduced to him at A&M by one of my classmates who happened to be a groupie and knew the entire team. He mentioned I was from Cleburne and Curtis had a blank look on his face until the recognition set in, then he broke out in uncontrollable laughter.

Curtis dominated us like nobody else. There was just no hope. I never saw another guy close to that fast.

My bad for not adding: Good on your dad.
