Why I will never respect A&M

[J.B. TexasEx]

HISTORY OF YELL LEADERS 

When A&M was an all-male military college in 1907, students often invited ladies from Texas Women’s University to take the train to College Station to attend Aggie football games. Then as now, a certain amount of tickets were set aside for guests, and these would be handed out based on seniority, so freshmen were rarely able to bring guests to the games. 

According to legend, during one football game the Aggies were being out-scored so badly that the ladies were threatening to leave the game from boredom. Therefore, the upperclassmen ordered the freshmen, or “fish,†to find a way to entertain the bored ladies. The freshmen raided a janitor’s closet and changed into the white coveralls they found there, and began leading the crowd in yells from the track in front of the stands. The freshmen got so much attention from the ladies that it was decided that only upperclassmen would be allowed to participate in this entertainment in the future.

That dog doesn't look like a collie.  It looks like a mutt - which is apropos.

If I had a purse, I would want to put it in it.  But I do not have a purse.  Maybe my wife will loan me one?

Love it.

Doc, it took me a while, but are you saying that the dogs name is Apropos?  How pretentious!  What does that even mean?  If it were my dog, I think I would name it Apropootie.
