Actually, it was a cheerleader from SMU ..
SMU? I mis-remembered. No wonder I’ve never had any luck looking up that story. That was a scandal at the time! I think the Aggie got kicked out, but the A&M alums were all on his side.
But don’t forget — Rice had the Marching Owl Band, otherwise known as the MOB. They never practised, wore anything they wanted on game day, and generally were insulting to a finely tuned marching unit like Texas A & M.
Stanford University seems to have followed their lead in today’s era.
Actually, it was Rice in the 1970s and Baylor in the 1980s.
Anyway, this University of Texas graduate sends his condolences to all Aggies on the death of Reveille VII.
Was not a member of E-2 (her sponsoring company in the Corps) but the earlier loss is remembered.
