I played freshman BB for NYU 64-65. ( yes..way back when..freshman had a separate team) Being from the NYC area, back then..other than a few trips to Florida with family, I hadn't been south of DC. For reasons that escape me, though probably due in part to the fact that our varsity men's BB team was the SI cover story that year (and of course later succumbed to the dreaded SI cover jinx) th freshman team was invited to a Christmas tourney in College station..I also can't remember who the other 2 teams were..though pretty sure they were from Texas..it was a woderful 4 days..my first exposure to GRITS, Aggies, Aggie jokes, the TAMU Cadet corps, and ..wait for it..BIG HAIR. Never before seen anything like it in my life..in the 60's, at NYU..it was all the long, straight, hippie look..and here I was seeing these beaitiful women..hair piled high and wide atop their heads..sprayed to a stiffness that would survive a CAT 1 hurricane...also the first time I ate REAL BBQ and had chicken fried steak..

TAMU will be good for the SEC, and vice versa..

For those of you who didn't know the Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak is a former Aggie quaterback. Please watch the video. Last weekend's Aggie Band Performance at Reliant Stadium on 09-11-11 - what an honor to perform and pay tribute to the US and 9-11. Many of these cadets will be servingin Armed Forces upon graduation.
