Thanks guys, I appreciate it. That is interesting about your book having the same ink stamp on the inside (yet no mention of "Kennedys"). Oh well, I will keep searching. If you happen to find anything else, please let me know by posting it here. I will check back from time to time...

My father-in-law graduated from the University of Tennessee in the 1960's. He recently passed away and I believe I have stumbled upon one of his old chemistry text books (he was a chem major). Most people wouldn't care about such a "find," but I have a college text book from both of my...

Thanks for the insight. I appreciate all of your comments. It is discussions like this that keep me coming back to your board. When I want to know about Vol Football, I know this is the place to go. JCVOL, You are right, we did get Brandon Stewart from you guys. That could have been better...

http://sports.tbo.com/sports/MGB8T0EUN8E.html Hey Vols, I havent been around here since the Cotton Bowl (sigh...). Anyway, just curious if you guys could shed some light on this QB situation. I saw this article that he might be interested in A&M and was curious what you guys thought. Later

Yes, I was at the Cotton Bowl. And yes, I have now heard Rocky Top about 100 times....lol. No worries. Of all the other bands I would have to listen to, I think my first pick (other than A&M's of course) would definitely be yours.

For example, the Cadets all take "Miliatry Science". If you are an Army Cadet, you will take Army Military Science Courses. The best way to explain would be to say that these count like ROTC courses, so that a Cadet will be an Officer when they join the military after A&M. But NO....it does...

Ok Ok..gotcha.....you just said you would rather not think of the Citadel or VMI, so I thought I made you mad. Anyway...your questions... 1. Is A&M a military school? YES or NO?? A&M is not 100% Military. We do however have a Cadet Corps (including the Band). From our beginning (1876) to...

Whoa whoa whoa....slow down there....... I dont have a chip, I was just trying to explain. And I definitely wasnt saying that you had any knowledge of anything that was going on in Texas. That is why I explained what most Aggies would assume you meant by saying "pretending", although I knew...

I heard that as well. I wasnt sure why they were doing that, but figured it was obviously a Tenn/Bama thing. Anyway, thanks for shedding the light. I wasnt even thinking about the fact that that bowl game was being played in Tenn. Pretty creative on Minn's part.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????? Automatically a Veteran?? Who said anything about that? I think I am confused....are you talking to me or someone else on this board, as I dont believe you are referring to my posts.

LadyinOrange, Did I offend you by referrencing The Citadel or VMI?? I only used those schools as a referrence to help understand our Cadet Corps here at A&M.

Pretending.....that is always the word used when someone is fishing for a fight. Not saying that is what you are doing, but just here in Texas, most students from our rival school will usually use the word "pretending" when referring to our Cadets. There is no pretending about it. No one is...

What "Donsargegolf" said...and... They are Cadets. But not yet in the military. Some of them are just in the cadet corps for four years, and then decide not to go into military service. But many of them are on Military Scholarships/Contracts to join the Armed Forces right out of College...

Maybe not a division ring, but maybe a Cotton Bowl ring. You could put Division Champs on the side with your 10-3 record....but it would say Cotton Bowl Champs on the top! That would technically make it a Cotton Bowl Ring.

We use to be an all male military school. We no longer require participation in the Cadet Corps, but the band is part of that tradition. That is why they are a military band......ie They are Cadets.
