Its one of aggy’s sacred “traditions” since 1894

Don’t judge aggy when they forfeit/cancel or quit. It’s just one of their traditions that aggy established over 120 years ago. Here’s the story as described by the Austin Democratic Statesman, the main newspaper in Austin in the late 1800’s:…
The Cadets, led by player/coach F.D. Perkins, traveled to Austin's Hyde Park on Oct. 19, 1894 for the UT squad's season opener. Reportedly, Texas A&M won the coin toss. It was the high point of the game for the visiting team. The Cadets fumbled the opening kickoff and Texas' "Varsity" scored two plays later. It only got worse from there.
The final score was Texas 38, Texas A&M 0 -- a score made even more humiliating by the fact touchdowns only earned four points in that era.
***The Texas A&M football squad was so demoralized by the defeat they scrapped the remainder of the schedule except for a contest against Galveston Ball high School six weeks later.***
The school didn't field another team until 1896 and they wouldn't play Texas again until 1898. That produced an even worse outcome, a 48-0 defeat in Austin - the largest margin of victory in the history of the rivalry.

Let’s play aggy bingo.
Hey! You’re a sip…..You’re right, but you’re a sip.
Eta. Oops. Too late they beat me to it.

Truth is, the Gators - long before they were the Gators, of course - lost their first game against the men from Tallahassee because they walked off the field in protest.

Even if this is true (which I doubt), it still wouldn't take away from the facts presented, and how embarrassing and pathetic aTm is

He's bring 19th century smack to the 21st century. It's only more pathetic that he pretends to be a gator fan.

All you need now is xWing to come in and do the daily TexWelch7 destruction which usually takes about three replies back and forth.
