By far, one of Texas A&M's most honored traditions is Silver Taps...


The thing that always grabbed my attention about Silver Taps is that everybody was so respectful and silent. Thousands walking from all across campus to gather at a central location, and not a whisper. That was pretty damn special.

Same here, and they're still in my closet 33+ years later (what DO you do with them?).


My dad still wears his on occasion. Mine and my wife's sit on display by the fireplace.

I got more chills from silver taps than any other ceremony while at a&m. Very moving for me.

That's because you weren't taken to the real doorknob to the universe. You were just getting fricked with.
