Moving up to the Big Time
As you all know, we are now Texas Aggies. We went to our first Texas A&M football game with a couple of our friends who happen to be A&M graduates.
We had (free) seats on the 50 yard line, a parking pass in the front row, a patsy of an opponent, and an invite to hang out in the suites (luxury boxes) with the other big time Aggies
The adult refreshments were flowing freely. The A&M mascot, a dog named Reveille (who is the highest ranking member of the Corps of Cadets) makes the rounds to all the boxes at halftime. Then the Governor (an A&M alum) stops by to press the flesh. This gives you some idea of the pecking order at A&M.
A quick note about the guy who invited us up to his suite - Sterling Braswell, and academic at A&M is also the author of American Meth: A history of the Methamphetamine Epidemic in America. Half history lesson half autobiography, he apparently was married to a meth addict/dealer unbeknownst to him (at least till the FBI called). Here is a LINK to find out more.
