I just got back from my nieces A&M graduation party. I had a Google map to get me there but got lost. I stopped by a shopping center to ask a couple of young men for directions. After looking at my map a while, a couple more guys came over. They finally got me lined out. I just had to say what a bunch of the finest young men you could ever want to meet. Their parents should be very proud of them. I was almost late to my party because we got to talking hunting and fishing. One of them gave me his phone number to call if I still couldn't find it. They even offered to lead me there. They offered to let me go to their party later. They were certainly different than any young people I have ever run into around the Austin area. All six of them were just the nicest and most decent young men I have met in a long time. It gives me new faith in the younger generation.

Gives me that tingling feeling!!!!!!Comment

I am a longhorn fan but have to agree with you! Lots of good ole country boys go there. I live in Brenham and am there often and the small communitys around here do produce some top notch kids.Comment

Did you really expect anything different?Comment

I grew up in Austin and came from a long line of Longhorns. Truth be told, it was hard for me to pull for old Maroon the first year. I decided I needed to get out of a rut and went to visit a real good friend at A&M. I knew the minute I hit College Station this was the place for me. I have alot of stories similar to what you experienced and loved my time there. My dad even wears a Aggie sticker on the back of his truck right next to his Texas Exes sticker. It is a great place and I am glad you had a good experience. I MISS Aggieland!Comment

College Station is a good place with good people. I miss it dearly.Comment

Agreed. There's nowhere else on earth like it. I just got back from there about 30 minutes ago. My kids had a blast watching the Corp do their Final Review, and listening to the band.Comment

What you described Sir is Tradition
"An Aggie doesn't lie, cheat, or steal, nor does he tolerate those that do" is the code every Good Ag lives by.
God Bless Texas A&M!Comment

I missed the boat, and went to a smaller college. Hoping my daughter picks it when she goes to college in 2012. A&M is a great school, great people. Not surprised you had such an experience there.Comment

That's a ridiculous comment! This story could come from any city in the country. There are still great kids and great folks everywhere. To say otherwise is a gross generalization. When will you learn?Originally posted by dgrimesag92 View Post
