Looks like the rantard narrative fails again:
quote:
n the midst of World War I, Texas A&M lost star players Grady Higginbotham, Jack Mahan and Woodrow Wilson to the service along with the entire senior class, which was sent to France. Along with them, the team lost coach Dana X. Bible, who was a pilot in the war. Assistant coach D.V. "Tubby" Graves took over the depleted unit. Practice hours were cut in half. There were more drill hours because the younger classes were expected to be sent to the war at staggered dates the following year.
