aggie now has a branch in Qatar. #WRTP We Run This Peninsula or maybe #WRTME We Run The Middle East

The branch in Qatar has been around for a couple of years. It was first offered to The University of Texas, but it was rejected because it was thought giving diplomas that said "The University of Texas at Austin" to people who never set foot on the campus of The University of Texas at Austin, never studied under any of the professors at The University of Texas at Austin and never accessed any of the facilities of The University of Texas at Austin would cheapen the value of a degree imprinted with the name The University of Texas at Austin. 

Either you did or you didn't attend The University of Texas at Austin. I agree the diploma should be reserved for those who studied at The University of Texas at Austin. aggy felt differently.

Surprisingly, aggie's presence in the region hasn't deterred ISIS at all.

 
Texas A&M football team goes through Navy SEAL training (???)
http://collegesportsblog.dallasnews....training.html/
 

The players trained at Lake Bryan, just a few miles from Texas A&M’s campus. The training may have been conducted by cadets from A&M’s Corps of Cadets, who would have a very solid understanding of what it takes to execute teamwork.

Looks more to me like these aggie footballers are being baptized by the Church of Aggie. "SEAL training by the Corps"? Are you f'n kidding me? How do you even make that comparison? These clowns have no shame.

Embarrassing

Here's a fun fact to share with aggies. TCU graduates a higher percentage of its students to be military officers than A&M does. In 2012, TCU graduated 45 military officers and A&M graduated 154. TCU has about 8,000 undergrads and A&M has 47,000. That's 0.56% of TCU's student population and 0.32% of A&M's student population. So, your average TCU student has about twice as good a chance of sitting next to a future military officer in class than the average aggie. You don't see the Frog ROTC marching around like a bunch of idiots and playing soldier on campus 24/7 though.

aggy BOR to vote on adding their crappy, beveled athletic logo to the official aTm university seal. Most aggies would prefer to drop it altogether because it isn't "SEC-like". Please make this change. Morons http://nobevel.com/

Per tamu.edu - History of the University (paragraph 3)

In 1963 the Texas state legislature officially renamed the school to Texas A&M University, with the "A" and "M" being a symbolic link to the school's past but no longer officially standing for "Agricultural and Mechanical".
Also per tamu.edu

1. What does "A&M" stand for?
When the institution gained university status in 1963, the "A&M" representation (no periods, no spaces and with an ampersand) was incorporated into the official name in deference to the institution's history and rich traditions, but the individual letters no longer explicitly stand for anything.
So, ladies and gentlemen, it can truly be said that a&m stands for nothing.
