Texas A&M students started camping out to buy tickets for this year's SBC Cotton Bowl on Sunday. The matchup features the Aggies taking on Tennessee in Dallas on New Year's Day.
According to Fox News, there's one student who wasn't generating much holiday cheer. Thursday morning at 4:30 a.m., an unnamed woman strode past sleeping fans and took her place at the front of the line. When the dozing students awoke and protested, the woman grabbed the sign-up list of students, some of whom had been waiting for days, and ate it.
"The piece of paper doesn't justify a spot in line to me if no one is standing there," the woman, a senior, later told the Battalion, the student newspaper. "If they wanted a spot, they should've woken up."
A spokesman for the university's athletic department said students had been putting their names on lists while waiting for tickets since at least 1985.
"(She) walked up in the line and people were trying to explain to her that she had to put her name on the list," said sophomore Amineh Baradar. "She didn't want to because she said (keeping lists of who was there first) wasn't an official university policy."
The reaction was far from enthusiastic.
"As we kept standing out there, people kept yelling, 'Beat the hell out of the list-eater,'" student Micah Gertson told KBTX-TV of Bryan and College Station, Texas. "As she's up there talking, people started throwing doughnuts at her."
Aggie football fans regularly urge the team to "beat the hell out of" its opponents.

The list-eater, who according to other students declared she was "right with God," defended her actions.

I took my son to see the President. We left early and got in line. Two people took cuts. It looked like they were with the other people so I did not say anything. Then about 14 people dressed like bigwigs,men, women and kids walked right past us and got in line up front where someone was saving their seats.
I started yelling right away and all I got was dirty looks. Noone helped me and the people who cut ignored me. We are turning into a bunch of wusses.
Which is why you need to do the same to these people....block their way, etc....
in short, be an @$$ like they are being :)
My best line was you people act like democrats. That at least got some people to laugh. It was a entire generation in suits. From 8 to 80. 14 people walking past everyone to the very front of the line like they were entitled. Which they were. I later saw them behind the P in the VIP seats.
My dad would have kicked my ass if I took cuts and he for dam sure never would have done it with me. I carried on for a minute before I shut up. (have to watch the blood pressure)
Getting old is a bitch. If I was younger I would not have shut up.
No one posted the most important thing. This rude sluts name. Is there any way we can get her name so she can get the full public ridicule she so justly deserves?
I dont know. it wasnt in the story.
I dont give a bleep really either though....she is just an attention hog....
"I hope that these pinheads in line have more people show up and go to the front of the line. I wonder how long it will take them to defend their rights then?"
You advocate anarchy rather than enforcement of a decent rule or law?
No, not all laws are decent--those of the Marxists must be disobeyed in the fight for mankind's Divinely endowed freedoms....
