Oh, and by the way During World War II, Texas A&M produced 20,229 Aggies who served in combat. Of those, 14,123 Aggies served as officers: more than the combined total of the United States Naval Academy and the United States Military Academy[16] and more than three times the totals of any other SMC.[17] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant to copy and paste say was that In the United States, a senior military college (SMC) is one of six colleges that offer military Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) programs under 10 USC 2111a(f), though many other schools offer military Reserve Officers' Training Corps under other sections of the law.

Honestly, pro football makes you realize that a halftime show would be a GOOD idea. I'd MUCH rather watch (even on TV) a band at halftime than the stupid cut to NFL HQ for game updates and commercials. The Super Bowl goes all sorts of crazy trying to hype the halftime show, but the NFL ignores it for EVERY other game of the season. Dopey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are a college football fan, a trip to Aggieland should be on your bucket list. The Texas Aggie band is truly one of those things you have to see to believe.

Dottleshead ★ Posted November 18, 2019 Share #23 Posted November 18, 2019 Actually, I find the state of affairs with the excessive offense laden rules and over extensive media coverage to dilute the game.

One not so insignificant difference is that graduates of A&M ROTC have no legal obligation to Uncle Sam, while those who attend the USMA or USNA from year 3 forward have some number of their future years planned out for them in some detail.
