With four starters returning from a team that posted Texas A&M’s best NCAA finish in a quarter century, Head Coach J.T. Hig-

gins has high expectations for 2008-09.

The talented returning nucleus and a deep bench led

Golfweek to rank the Aggies No. 9 nationally in the

preseason.

“This team returns a lot of experience,” Higgins said.

“Obviously, everyone is a year older and hopefully wiser. The

competition for playing time should be intense as even the

newcomers are hungry to get in the action. We are always a

hard-working, disciplined team and I think our strength again

will be in our depth of talent.

Afterfinishing12thatthe2008NCAAChampionship—

Trey Todd to graduation. But the Aggies’ roster is anything but

depleted. Eight players have appeared in at least three college

tournaments,whilefivehaveplayed inat leastnineevents.

Two have won college tournaments while a pair of others have

been runners-up.

“The thing that makes me nervous is that we need to

replacethreeguyswhowerenotjustterrificplayersbutout-

standing leaders,” Higgins said. “They knew what was expected

and set the standard for this program in work ethic, attitude

and competitive excellence. I am also hoping to see more out

of the top of our lineup. For the past few years, we have been

really strong in the three, four andfive spots, but our No.

1 andNo. 2playershavenot separated themselves in their

scores from the rest of the team.”

Clay is a blue collar guywho does everything we ask and does it well. He has a tremendous work ethic on the course, in the classroom and in the weight room. He is dependable, never complains and just gets the job done. I cannot say enough good things about him and how he goes about his business.” One of the Aggies’ most intriguing prospects is sophomore John Hurley, who redshirted last year. He is without question one of the longest hitters in college golf and was the runner-up at the2008NebraskaAmatauerChampi-onship.

Previewgins said. “He redshirted last season just to work on those areas and I think all that hard work will pay off big for him this year. We all know about his incredible length off the tee but the improved short game will help him put up some lower scores while giving him even moreconfidencetoletitripoffthetee.Conradhad a really impressive summer, which was no surprise because he is an excellent player who has worked extremely hard. He has tightened up his swing, improved with his scoring clubs and really looks good around the greens. “Jordan also is developing into a wonderful player,” Higgins said. “He redshirted last year to build a golf swing that repeats and gain some size and strength. His swing is out-standing and his work in the weight room has given him some added distance off the tee.” Higgins welcomes a strong recruiting class thatconsistsofthreetruefreshmen—GeoffShaw (Edmond, Okla.), Drew Evans (Dallas) andCaseCochran (Paducah,Ky.).

TheBig 12ChampionshipwillbeplayedatPrairieDunesCountryClubinHutchinson,Kan.,whichhasbeenrankedamong the premier courses in the world. “We have an outstanding schedule that will test us against the best teams in the nation,” Higgins said. “Last year, we played top-five teams a total of 26 times. I thinkthat kind of schedule prepares us to play for theNCAAChampionship.Ourgoalisalwaysto play against the best teams on the best courses as often as we can to try and get our-selves ready for the postseason. This year is no exception as we will be playing in some of the biggest collegiate events in the country.” HigginsexpectstheBig12toagainrankamong the top conferences in college golf withOklahomaState andA&M ranked inthepreseasontop10withTexas,TexasTechand Baylor not far behind. The race for the national championship could be wide open. “There are so many good programs in col-lege golf right how,” Higgins said. “I couldhonestly list50 teamsthat feel likethey have a great program and a good chance to do some damage in their conference or at

anational level.TheBig12isreallystrong,especially in the South Division. The thing that sets college golf apart from other sports is that while the big conferences are good in golf just like every other sport, there are a lot of teams from smaller conferences that are ultra-competitive every year and really keep things interesting. We will have our work cut out for us every time we tee it up and we better make sure we are ready to compete at every tournament.” While Higgins is optimistic about his team’s ability to compete on the conference and national levels, he stops short of putting great expectations on his team. Sort of. “I really don’t expect much out of our teams – I just want us to be the hardest-working, mentally-toughest, best-conditioned, most-prepared team in college golf,” he said. “Other than that, I don’t expect much. Seri-ously, if we spend our vast majority of practice time on wedges and short game – and become mentally tough to the point where score, weather, standing, pairings and a million other things out of our control do not bother us – then I think we have the talent to compete with any team in the nation.”

The Big 12 conference became a reality on Feb. 25, 1994, when the former Big Eight membership joined with A&M, Texas, Texas Tech and Baylor. Big 12 member schools have produced 145 NCAA team championships along with 16 wire service national football titles, four men’s NCAA basketball crowns and two women’s NCAA basketball titles.

Coaches

Direction of College Golf

“ It’s unbelievable. It seems like everyone is building their own

golf course, getting huge endowments and has a large booster club. Everyone is getting bigger budgets and consequently, in the recruiting process, you have a lot of people competing for a few players. It’s getting tougher to get good players. It seems everyone wants to have a good golf program and that’s good for the game. A lot more teams are competitive. There also seems to be better athletes playing golf, guys who have played other sports. That’s made the pool of good players a lot big-ger, but at the same time more schools are competing to get those kids.”

Philosophy about Golf

“I want to provide my players with the best possible opportunity to improve their games and themselves. That includes coaching, facilities and helping them with the mental side of the game. But the big-gest thing is competition.My job isto bring in as many good players as I can and let them play and push each other to get better. That makes every-one work harder, it makes everyone get bettergrades.Youcan’tscrewupatall.Youdon’twantacademicstobethereasonyou’re not playing. It’s a unique sport because noteveryonegetstotravel.Youonlyhavefiveguys going on the road, so you have twice that many staying at home. If everyone is good and they are all going after the same thing, then everyone works harder and tries to improve. We want to provide the most competitive atmosphere we can and let the players determine who the best players are on their own.”

Philosophy of Life

“ It’s a cliché, but you should try to live each day to the fullest, try to be a good person and everyday try to make you’re little corner of the world a little better place. That may be giving a simple smile to someone walking down a hallway or being friendly to a stranger. Someone may be having the worst day of their life and your smile could have a posi-tiveimpactonthem.Youmaynotevenknowyouhad an impact on them. I just try to be a nice person and leave my corner of the world a little better than I found it.”

Lessons of Athletics

“ One of the reasons that golf is such a

great game is that you are your own referee. Youhavetocallyourownpenalties.Thereare so many examples of guys going into the woods and no one in the world sees them do anything wrong, but they come out and call a penalty on themselves. Honesty, integrity and a strong character are such integral parts of being a great golfer. I’m blessed by being around these types of people.

Athletics also teaches leadership skills. If I were running a company and was hiring employees, the first thing I would do is look for someone who participated in intercolle-giate athletics. The demands on their time and the burdens they have to carry to get through school and play a sport

is vastly underestimated. If they can get a degree and compete at the highest levels of college athletics,

then they are probably someone who can do the jobforyou.Whateverit is,theywillfigureouta way to get it done. Those things are invalu-able.”

Personal Goals

“MypersonalgoalsaretobuildTexasA&Mintoone of the premier golf programs in the country. With the facilities here, we have absolutely no excuses. There is a lot of luck involved in win-ning a national championship. It has to be your week.Butifwecanbeinthetop10or15inthe country year in and year out, we’ll have a chance. One year, it might just be our week. I want for us to have that chance every year. We are attracting some of the best players in the country and I know we can get to that level.”

Guiding Influences

“ I’ve been very fortunate to work with some

tremendous people over the years. Thefirstgreatinfluencewasmyhighschoolbasketballcoach. He put total responsibility on his players. We had to look at ourselves in the mirror when things went wrong. We couldn’t blame our team-mates, our coaches or our parents. The other hugeinfluenceinmylifewasDwaineKnightatUNLV.HetaughtmeeverythingIknowaboutgolf, about recruiting and about leading young men. He’s a prime example of what a great coach should be. Everyday, I try to pattern myself after him. If I can do that, I’ll be okay.”

Importance of Academics

“ Academics is the reason we’re here. Every

player on our team is perfectly clear on that. Ev-eryone is going to graduate. Everyone is going to go to class and get good grades. The bottom line is this: Fewer than one percent of the players in col-legegolfwilleverplayonthePGATOUR.Whilewewant our players to strive to play professional golf, because it’s a great life, I also know the reality is that they probably won’t be able to do that. Without a college degree, I wouldn’t enjoy the incredible life

I have now. I want every kid who comes here to not have any limits placed on them because they didn’tfinishtheireducation.Theymayhatemefor it now, but they will thank me for it later. Academics are the primary reason we are here.

If we can win a few golf tournaments along the way, that’s just icing on the cake.”

Bronson Burgoonu2008 PING All-Region

The Aggies started the season ranked No. 11 by Golf World, but a rugged fall schedule and the temporary loss of an All-American took its toll. Junior Bronson Burgoon, a third-team

All-American as a sophomore, sat out the fall schedule to concentrate on academics and his absence was conspicuous. A&M had a pair of top four finishes at the Inverness and Oklahoma Intercollegiates, but did not place in the top eight in any of the other three events, quickly vanishing from the national polls. But Higgins’ roster proved to be deep and talented when Burgoon returned and three of the returning starters were replaced in the lineup in the spring. The results were immediate. A&M was spectacular at times, setting school scoring records and returning to the NCAA Championship finals after a one-year hiatus. The Aggies finished 12th at the NCAA Championship, their best finish since 1984. Senior Bobby Gates earned All-Big 12 honors for the third straight year and was joined on the all-region team by Burgoon, sophomore Andrea Pavan and freshman Nacho Elvira, who became the first A&M freshman to earn All-America honors since David Ogrin in 1977. “The strength of this team was in our depth and the fact that anyone in the lineup was capable of a great round or a strong finish at any time,” said Higgins, who was named the region coach of the year for the second time. “That team had a lot of fun working hard toward a common goal.” “Our chemistry was amazing, especially considering how deep, talented and competitive our team was,” he added. “We had players who were starters the year before who lost their spots but continued to be team-oriented, supportive and encouraging to their teammates. I think I was most proud of that.” The spring started quickly with a runner-up finish at the John Burns Intercollegiate in Hawaii as all five players finished under par for the tournament. A&M shot 33 under par, breaking the school record by a whopping 10 strokes. The second-round 274 set another school standard. Burgoon tied for second individually at 70-68-65=203, tying the school record for 54 holes shared by Jeff Maggert and Philip Parkin. The closing 65 also tied an A&M mark. “It was a great tournament for us,” A&M Higgins said. “We did so many things well this week, but we still feel like we left a lot of shots out there. We’re excited about the rest of the season.” Gates then placed fourth to lead the Aggies to a sixth-place performance at the Southern Highlands Collegiate in Las Vegas. Elvira closed with a bogey-free two-under 70 in windy conditions, setting the stage for his dramatic emergence. Low scores are always the norm at the Barona Cup in California, but the Aggies took it to a new level, breaking all the records they had set just weeks before in Hawaii. A&M closed with a record 17-under round of 271 to win the title by an impressive 16 strokes. The Aggies’ 37-under total broke the short-lived school record by four shots. Elvira won individual honors with a 12-under total of 68-70-69=204, leading a group of four Aggies who placed in the top six. Pavan was the runner-up (207), while Gates was fourth and Burgoon took sixth.

“This was just a fantastic tournament,” Higgins said. “Our players executed well in all facets of the game. They were excellent both mentally and physically and I think we showed how talented we are.” Elvira and junior Matt Van Zandt tied for sixth the following week at the U.S. Collegiate Championship in Georgia, leading the Aggies to a sixth-place finish against a strong field. A&M defeated eventual national champion UCLA by a single stroke. The Aggies struggled early at the Arizona State/Thunderbird Invitational, but closed with the best round of the day, a one-under 283, to tie for second behind the host team. A&M had high hopes going into the Big 12 Championship in Trinity, Texas, after finishing second in 2007. But the Aggies placed fourth, despite a strong performance by Pavan, who took fifth in the individual standings.

“Everybody on the team is pretty disappointed,” Higgins said. “We had enough good holes to compete for the championship, but we gave back so many shots with double and triple bogeys. Those will kill you in big tournaments.” The Aggies bounced back in fine fashion at the NCAA Central Regional in Columbus, Ohio, finishing seventh to advance to the national finals. “We did what we came here to do and that’s advance to nationals,” Higgins said. “We think we have a program that should never miss the national tournament and we’re glad we put last year to rest.” The NCAA Championship was played under U.S. Open-type conditions at Purdue’s Kampen Course in West Lafayette, Ind., which measured a challenging 7,450 yards and featured knee-high rough. “The golf course is awesome,” Higgins said. “If you miss the fairways you are in five inches of rough. If you miss it bad you have two feet of rough. You have hit it long and straight. It’s everything a championship golf course should be.” Led by Pavan’s three-over 75, A&M opened with a round of 309 and was tied for 12th place. Despite a 15-shot improvement in the second round, thanks largely to Elvira’s 72, the Aggies remained in 12th place.

The 30-team field would be trimmed to the top 15 after the third round, which was plagued by poor weather. A&M played the final four holes in two-under to climb back above the cutline with a round of 306, but several teams were forced to complete their rounds the following morning. A&M had a shaky start in the final round and was 11-over through five holes, but played the next eight in just one-over. The Aggies were seven-over on the final five holes and finished 12th with a total of 309-294-306-307=1,216, 22 shots behind national champion UCLA. Burgoon closed with a 72, playing the last 12 holes in three-under, and along with Elvira tied for 23rd. “I’m sure we’ll be able to look at it down the road as our best finish in a quarter of a century but we were disappointed with the way we ended the round,” Higgins said. “We had a chance for a great finish and we let it slip away. Still, our program is obviously going in the right direction and we have a great group of kids who fought their tails off to the end.”

71

Facilities

For an opening hole, this mid-length par 4

requires golfers to be ready as soon as they

walk off the driving range. A driver off the tee

brings into play the bunker on the right side of

the fairway, which slopes from right to left. The

approach must be placed on the correct level of

the long, angled green, which is protected by a

deep bunker on the front.

1Par: 4 Yards: 435

72

Facilities

This is a short, dogleg-left par 4 that requires a

long iron or fairway wood off the tee down the

right side of the fairway to set up a short iron

or wedge approach. Drives that stray too far

left could leave a tree-obstructed approach into

a three-tiered green that provides a number

of challenging pin placements. Deep bunkers

guard the green at the front and back.

2Par: 4 Yards: 391

73

Facilities

A solid par-5 that will tempt long-hitters to go

for the well-protected and elevated green in

two. A creek runs down the right side of the

fairway with heavy woods on the left. Conserva-

tive players will hit a long iron or fairway wood

off the tee, then layup shot of the creek on the

second shot. A wedge will provide a good birdie

opportunity on the multi-tiered green.

3Par: 5 Yards: 543

74

Facilities

Although the shortest par-4 on the course, this

hole is hardly the easiest. The tee shot calls for

a well-placed long iron or fairway wood that

must avoid a series of large bunkers on the left.

The shallow, three-tiered green, well-guarded

by bunkers, requires a pin-point wedge ap-

proach to the proper level for a good chance at

birdie.

4Par: 4 Yards: 357

75

Facilities

This picturesque, mid-length par-3 can be the

source of multiple headaches for careless play-

ers. The green is shallow and wide, requiring

accuracy off the tee. Players must avoid a deep

bunker at the front as well as to the left of the

sloping green. The back left drops off into a

deep collection area and leaves a very difficult

pitch shot to save par.

5Par: 3 Yards: 201

76

Facilities

A short par 5, this hole will seduce long hit-

ters but the fairway narrows as it gets farther

from the tee. Players who carry the bunker on

the left can risk going for the green, which is

fronted by a ravine, in two. A layup approach

leaves a short wedge into into a shallow multi-

level green protected by three front bunkers.

6Par: 5 Yards: 587

77

Facilities

Once again, the fairway gets narrower off the

tee for longer hitters, who must stay clear of

the fairway bunker on the right. A fairway

wood off the tee leaves a mid-iron into a narrow

but deep multi-tiered green, which is guarded

in front by deep bunkers and a creek. An ap-

proach left above the hole leaves an intimidat-

ing birdie putt.

7Par: 4 Yards: 442

78

Facilities

This mid-length par-four boasts the sharpest

dogleg on the course, bending right. A drive

over the bunkers at the corner leaves a wedge

into the elevated multi-tiered green, which is

narrow at the front and widens at the back. A

drive down the left side still leaves only a short

or mid-iron approach. The green is guarded by

a deep bunker on the front right.

8Par: 4 Yards: 416

79

Facilities

A very long par 3 that requires a precise tee

shot to an elevated, sloping green. A deep bun-

ker guards the front left of the green. A series

of mounds on the green making chipping and

putting difficult. Most players will hit a long

iron to the middle of the green and hope for a

two-putt. Par is a good score here going into the

rugged back nine.

9Par: 3 Yards: 220

80

Facilities

This long par-5 has a double dogleg and

presents a generous fairway off the tee. A good

drive down the left side, as long as its short of

a creek that crosses at about 300 yards, gives

long hitters an outside chance to go for the

green in two. A layup leaves a wedge into a

shallow green that is guarded by a deep bunker

in the front. The green slopes from left to right.

10Par: 5 Yards: 563

81

Facilities

A straightforward par-3 that may be the most

exposed hole on the course, with few trees to

shield it from the prevailing left-to-right wind.

The large green is protected by deep bunkers

in the front, but a good tee shot provides a solid

birdie opportunity. Several mounds on the

green could leave players with an interesting

array of putts.

11Par: 3 Yards: 192

82

Facilities

A slight dogleg right, this mid-length par-4

presents a generous wide fairway. A drive

that strays into a stand of trees and a creek at

the corner could cause problems. A solid drive

leaves a downhill wedge or short iron into an

ample two-tiered green that is guarded by a

deep front bunker and a small pond to the left

front that is unlikely to come into play.

12Par: 4 Yards: 433

83

Facilities

Players have a wide variety of choices off the

tee and just about any will leave only a wedge

into an elevated green that is protected on the

front and back by deep bunkers. The green

is severely sloped and can have some tough

breaks. Approach shots left above the hole will

provide some entertaining putts as well as

some anxious moments.

13Par: 4 Yards: 385

84

Facilities

Long hitters will want to carry the bunker on

the right side of the fairway, leaving a wedge

into the shallow but wide green. Shorter hit-

ters may want to drive down the left side of

the fairway, avoiding the bunker, but will still

have only a mid-iron approach remaining. The

two-tiered sloped green is guarded in front by a

deep bunker.

14Par: 4 Yards: 413

85

Facilities

A long, straight drive gives players a chance

to go for the green in two if the wind is not a

factor, but percentage players will play this

long dogleg left par-5 as a three-shot hole. The

tee shot must avoid the bunkers at the corner

of the dogleg. The narrow two-tiered green is

guarded by deep bunkers on the left and right.

The green widens at the back.

15Par: 5 Yards: 578

86

Facilities

A beautiful par-3 that calls for a very accurate

tee shot over a picturesque pond. A gaping bun-

ker protects the front of the narrow green and

will swallow poorly struck tee shots. Players

who bail out long could be left with tough chip

shots from deep rough. The green doesn’t have

much undulation, however, and will reward a

good tee shot.

16Par: 3 Yards: 198

87

Facilities

One of the toughest holes on the course, this

mid-length par-4 requires pinpoint accuracy

off the tee into a narrow fairway. A long iron

or fairway wood off the tee leaves a mid or

short-iron approach into a small green that is

guarded by a deep bunker and ravine in front

and another bunker in back. The slick green

provides many tricky pin placements.

17Par: 4 Yards: 431

88

Facilities

A truly great finishing hole, this is the longest

par 4 on the course. The tee shot is into the

prevailing wind and must be long and down

the right side to avoid the bunker on the left.

A good drive leaves a mid-iron into the nar-

row but deep three-tiered green that is sloped

severely from back to front. Deep bunkers sur-

round this large green.

Texas A&M

THE sTudEnT BodY

exas A&M is as committed to developing students’ character as well as their intellect,

through a wide array of extracurricular activities collectively referred to as “The Other Education.” More than 75 percent of Texas A&M students belong to at least one of the 700-plus recognized student organizations, the nation’s largest student-union program. Membership in these organizations and participation in their activities help build important teamwork and leadership skills, while encouraging students to give of themselves in service to others.

With about 1,800 members, Texas A&M’s Corps of Cadets is the largest uniformed student body apart from the national service academies. Although membership carries no military obliga-tion, the Corps is responsible for commissioning

FAculTY

exas A&M has more than 2,600 faculty and is in the final year of a five-year effort—

unprecedented in all of American higher education—to add nearly 450 new faculty members. The student-to-faculty ratio is less than 20:1. Included on the faculty are Nobel laureate, Dr. Norman Borlaug (1970 Peace Prize); National Medal of Science winner Dr. George F. Bass (Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Archaeology, 2001); a Pulitzer Prize Winner (Dr. Douglas Starr, Professor of Journalism); 21 members of the National

Academy of Engineering and the National Academy of Science (6), and many others who have received such high honors as the Wolf

Prize, MacArthur Foundation “genius” Grants and the Welch Foundation Prize.

rEsEArcHexas A&M’s faculty conduct nearly $570 million in

research each year. Researchers at Texas A&M and affiliated A&M System agencies disclosed 141 inventions and filed 106 patent

applications in FY 2007. In 2004, Texas A&M was selected by the

U.S. Department of Homeland Security as the lead institution for the National Center for Foreign Animal and Zoonotic Disease Defense, a multi-institutional, interdisciplinary research facility that aims to enhance the security of our nation’s food and agricultural systems. The center is part of Texas A&M’s Integrative Center for Homeland Security, which was established in May 2002.

Since 2003, Texas A&M has served as a major participant in the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP), a large-scale, multinational earth science research project for which Texas

more officers into the U.S. military than any school other than the academies. Approximately 200 students participate in a separate corps at the Galveston campus, producing more Merchant Marine and U.S. Coast Guard officers than any institution except those academies.

The student body continues to become more diverse. While total enrollment has grown by about 15 percent since 1988, minority enrollment has increased at an even faster pace. Women now represent approximately 48 percent of all students. More than 25 percent of the incoming freshman classes in recent years have been first-generation college students.

More than 10,000 students have the op-portunity to live on campus, placing Texas A&M among the top five universities in the nation in its capability for housing students.

AggietrAditions

The STory oF

oF The 12 Th ManOne of the most well-known traditions at

Texas A&M is the Twelfth Man...

T he story of this colorful tradition has been told and retold to generations of

Aggie students and is part of the cohesive substance that binds A&M students together forever. The Twelfth Man is the reason A&M students stand for each entire football game. When Aggie students stand during games, it is this spirit and loyalty they are remembering. They stand in readi-ness in case they are needed to go into the game like the original Twelfth Man, E. King Gill.

The late Dr. Gill of Corpus Christi related this story some years ago:

“It was in January, 1922, following the 1921 football season. The Aggies were SWC champions and had been invited to play Centre College in what was then called the Dixie Classic in Dallas. I had played on the football team, but was on the basketball team at that time and those in charge felt I was more valuable to the basketball team (Gill was an All-SWC basketball player in 1923). I was in Dallas, however, and even rode to the stadium in the same taxi with Coach Dana X. Bible. I was in civilian clothes and was not to be in uniform. Coach Bible asked me to assist in spotting players for the late Jinx Tucker (sports editor of the Waco News-Tribune) in the press box. So, I was up in the press box, helping Jinx Tucker when, near the end of the first half, I was called down to the Texas A&M bench. There had been a number of injuries but it was not until I arrived on the field that I learned that Coach Bible wanted me to put on a football uniform and be ready to play if he needed me. There were no dressing

rooms at the stadium in those days. The team had dressed downtown at the hotel and traveled to the stadium in taxi cabs. Anyway, I put on the uniform of one of the injured players. We got under the stands, and he put on my clothes and I put on his uniform. I was ready to play but never was sent into the game.”

T radition and history are impor-tant parts of life on any college

campus but especially at Texas a&M University. The “Spirit of aggieland” is unmatched by any other college or university in the United States. Most traditions at Texas a&M are filled with the rich background of its Corps of Cadets, which for many years made up the entire student body at the College Station campus.

Texas a&M opened in 1876 as a land grant college. at that point, the student body adopted a military structure, and the traditions of aggieland took their roots. The school remained essentially the same until 1963 when the first women were admitted. But the school still has the Corps of Cadets — only one of a few universities in the country to maintain a strong commitment to military training.

Today participation in the Corps is strictly voluntary, but about 2,000 students — men and women — choose to be part of the proud organization that helps personify the “Spirit of aggieland.”

Texas A&M

AggietrAditions

S ilver TapS

One of the most emotional of all Aggie traditions …

T he solemn ceremony is the final tribute and honor to an Aggie who has died. The

cere mony is held in front of the Academic Building on the first Tuesday of every month at 10:30 p.m., if a student died during the preceding month. Students gather around the area, the campus lights are dimmed (cars included), chimes play from Albritton Tower, a detachment from the Ross Volunteers fires three volleys and buglers from the Aggie Band play Silver Taps three times. The ceremony is quite moving because the only sense one witnesses it with is sound. The family members of the deceased Aggie are invited as special guests at the ceremony.

reveilleThe first lady of Aggieland …

I s the official mascot of Texas A&M University. She is the highest ranking member of the

Corps of Cadets, and is a Five-Star General. A full-bred American Collie, Reveille’s history dates back to 1931. At that time, some cadets accidentally ran over a black and white dog in their Model T on the way back to campus, so they gathered up the injured dog and took it back to the dormitory. In the morning, when the bugler sounded reveille, the dog started barking and promptly received her nickname. Reveille was soon adopted by the Corps and especially the band. She followed them to all formations and led them when they marched. At the first football game, she took the field with the band and made her first appearance as the official mascot of Texas A&M. Reveille died in 1944 and was buried at the north entrance of Kyle Field facing the scoreboard so that she can always watch the Aggies outscore their opponent. Reveille II, Reveille III, Reveille IV, Reveille V and Reveille VI are now buried alongside Reveille I. Reveille VII retired at the end of the 2007-08 school year. Reveille VIII made her formal debut at the debut at the football season opener on August 30, 2008.

MUSTerFirst held in 1883 when Aggies met June 26

to ‘live over their college days’...

T he early meetings were parties and banquets held during the commencement exercises.

Soon, a permanent date was set — April 21 — and it became a time to pay homage to students and former students who died during the past year. At today’s Muster, living comrades answer “here” to the roll call at the largest ceremony in the 12,500-seat Reed Arena, for their friends who have passed on. During World War I, groups of Aggies held Muster in trenches in Europe. In

1923, former students began holding Muster throughout Texas, the nation and numerous other parts of the world — to let Aggies remember old days and meet old friends.

BonFire & replanTThe Aggie Bonfire signals the annual football game

between Texas A&M and University of Texas …

O n the night before the game — or two nights before if it is played in Austin — the Corps of

Cadets stands at attention to the music of “The Spirit of Aggieland” while the bonfire sends its flames and sparks spiraling into the sky. Bonfire is entirely financed and organized by the Corps of Cadets and traditionally belongs to the freshman class, but the entire student body helps build the world’s largest bonfire. The building and burning of Bonfire, which takes two weeks of nonstop work to complete after months of gathering wood, symbolizes the burning desire to beat t.u. and the undying love Aggies everywhere carry for Texas A&M. Bonfire formerly took place on the intramural field south of Duncan Dining Hall on the southern edge of campus, but moved to the polo fields at the northeast corner of campus in the early ’90s.

Bonfire has not burned since the stack col-lapsed in 1999 and 12 Aggies were killed. The Bonfire will not burn for the foreseeable future. Extensive studies have been conducted concern-ing the future design and conducting of Bonfire.

Replant is a one-day environmental service project which strives to improve the Bryan/Col-lege Station community, bring students together through tradition, provide an avenue for environ-mental service and action, through a yearly tree planting event.

The Replant Committee is a group of Fightin’ Texas Aggie students which organizes and puts on the annual environmental service project. The diverse bunch of students comes from varied fields of study, as well as from across the country. While the group does a lot of the behind-the-scenes organizational work, it could not succeed without the elbow grease of the dedicated volun-teers who attend Replant each year.

yell praCTiCe

A favorite of Aggies is Yell Practice …

I n 1932, two freshmen asked the senior yell leaders to hold a Midnight Yell Practice to

motivate students for the upcoming football game. The seniors said they could not authorize a Yell Practice, but could manage to “be” at the YMCA Building at midnight. Flares were planted, the Corps woke up, even the band showed up, and the first Midnight Yell Practice was held. Today,

Midnight Yell Practice is held at Kyle Field on Friday night before a home football game. The Aggie Band starts the parade at the Quadrangle near the Corps dorms and marches to Kyle Field led by the Yell Leaders carrying torches. Then, as many as 20,000 students line the route and fall in behind the band. Yells are then practiced, the Aggie War Hymn and the Spirit of Aggieland are sung, and at “lights out” the after-touchdown kiss is practiced. After an Aggie victory, the Yell Leaders are carried across campus and tossed into the Fish Pond, then a Yell Practice is held. After being “outscored,” students remain in the stands, and Yell Practice is held in preparation

for the next game.

yellS &

hUMping iTInstead of cheerleaders leading cheers,

there are yell leaders leading yells …

T oday yell leaders are selected by a vote of the student body.

There are five Yell Leaders (three seniors and two juniors) who are donned in white. These five motivated Aggies use hand signals to indicate what yell will occur next. They tell the “Twelfth Man” what yell is coming, and the

students on the bottom row pick up the signal and repeat it, passing it upward until the entire student body knows what is coming. Once the “Twelfth Man” assumes the “humping it” position (bending over with the hands placed just above the knees, properly aligning the back, mouth and throat for maximum volume) the yell begins.

B ig evenT

The largest student-led service project in the nation …

I n the spirit of giving, Aggies help serve the community every year in Big Event. Started in

1982, the Big Event promotes campus unity as students come together each spring to express their gratitude for the support from the surrounding communities of Bryan/College Station. More than 8,000 Aggies participate in more than 800 jobs such as painting houses, mowing lawns, and raking leaves. Dorms, Greek organizations, Corps outfits and individuals work together to help serve the community.

SUperviSing

E nsuring that our student-athletes are on the correct path to success each athlete is assigned

an academic advisor in their academic college and an athletic advisor. The Center for Student-Athlete Services employs 10 full-time Academic Supervisors and 3 Learning Specialists. They are assisted by 40 part-time Learning Assistants, numerous subject tutors, and the front office staff.

Together, the staff monitors the student-athletes’ academic performance to ensure the continued fulfillment of progress toward degree requirements. This process includes academic progress reports during the semester and individualized academic planning for each student. All student-athletes are also required to submit pre-registration forms prior to registering for classes to ensure a class schedule that meets degree requirements and meshes with practice

times. Additionally, every student-ath-lete must meet with his or her academic advisor in the college in which they are enrolled.

Each student-athlete meets regularly with the athletic supervisor. The meetings help solve problems concerning class work and overall academic performance. The emphasis of the program centers on the idea of a “pro-active” approach rather than a “re-active” approach. Coaches and athletic supervisors try to set the academic tone early and to be as thorough as possible in planning for each student-athlete’s academic success.

STUdenT-aThleTe in Mind

T he program was created to assist student-athletes with all aspects of their professional development.

Only two percent of college athletes will successfully compete at the professional level; the other 98 percent will enter the workforce. With this in mind, the Athletic Career Services Center prepares them for their transition out of college sports and into the workforce.

Athletic Career Services is introduced during the student-athletes freshman year with the acknowledgement that with their hectic athletic schedules becoming involved with campus organizations is challenging. Therefore during their winter, spring and summer break, intern-ships and part-time positions related to their major are available. This provides the student-athlete with the opportunity to gain valuable work experience while also building their resume. Upon graduation our student-athletes are the most prepared and experienced candidates one could hire.

Many UniqUe prograMS

I n addition to the above services, Athletic Career Services also offers many unique programs such as “Backpack

to Briefcase” the junior and senior seminar preparing student- athletes for graduate school, internships or full-time employment. The Athletic Career Services staff advises student-athletes on career-related issues such as on-campus interviewing, employment trends and job search strategies and also provides workshops, mock interviews, and resume and career planning seminars. Along with the opportunity to attend various employer fairs the Athletic Career Services Center also brings in employers for our very own career fair. Student-athletes are also encouraged to utilize the extensive resources and services offered by the University Career Center.

CoMpleTing The CyCle

T exas A&M strives to recruit quality student-athletes who excel academically and athletically, and the

university hopes to complete the cycle by enhancing the future employment opportunities of these athletes. For more information about Athletic Career Services, please visit the web page of AggieAthletics.com/academics.

“The best thing about A&M and Bryan-College Station for me was the people. The community really accepted me and got be-hind me when I was a novice TV weathercaster. They made me think I could do anything!”

— orelon Sidney ’92Former CNN Weather Anchor

“As a graduate of the University (along with a brother, ’91, and sis-ter, ’93) I have always cherished meeting Aggies across the nation, regardless of race, creed, sex or religion. I am a living witness that the university is an open and inviting place for anyone.”

— roland S. MarTin ’91Author; nationally syndicated columnist with Creators

Syndicate; radio host, commentator for TV One Cable Network and host of the Roland S. Martin Show

“I was born and raised in Bryan-College Station so my blood was maroon from day one. That blood, along with the bonding spir i t of being an Aggie wil l be with me for the rest of my life. As a kid, student and an adult, the sounds of Kyle Field, G. Rollie, Olsen Field, or just sim-ply walking across campus ... are memories that will last forever. If only the rest of the world could truly appreciate what it means to be an Aggie."

— SCoT ChaSTain ’89Vice President, Affiliate Advertising &

“I miss the atmosphere. Texas A&M taught me so much and it was the best time of my life. I’m dreaming to get back there. Just being able to walk on campus and being able to say hi to pretty much everyone. Getting to know so many people from so many different walks of life and the camaraderie is hard to explain.”

“I was a member o f t h e F i g h t i n ’ T e x a s A g g i e Band. My lasting memory centers around footbal l g a m e s a t K y l e Field. Two things will go with me to my grave — the sound of the drums reverber-ating off the tunnel walls as we entered Kyle Field — our chest pounded from the sound — our hearts raced, we stood taller, we marched with more pride. To this day I get goose bumps every time I think about it. The second thing is how 300 men became one unit, thinking as a single entity for 8 and half minutes every halftime. As everyone knows the Figthin’ Texas Aggie band never lost a half time.”

Texas A&M

N o school can match the athletic traditions of

Texas a&M University. The superior athletes together with the famous aggie Spirit combine to tell a story that is one of the most exciting and compelling in the nation.

The TradiTion

oF The 12Th Man

T he excitement of Kyle Field, the revelry of the historic Aggie Bonfire, and the resounding yells

of the student body will come to life in a sports museum unlike any other in the nation.

It is fitting, too, that the museum is located in the Bernard C. Richardson Zone at Kyle Field. The story of A&M’s men’s and women’s varsity sports is presented using photos, film, artifacts and computer databases for interactive displays for all visitors to the campus to enjoy free of charge.

The Texas A&M Sports Museum has the distinc-tion of being the nation’s only all-sports museum funded primarily by former athletes.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for all Letter-men to honor their teammates who deserve special recognition in a space such as the Sports Museum of Texas A&M University,” said Jim Singleton, Museum Committee Chairman.

MUSeUM areaS

When visitors enter the “Zone” they will step into a large lobby area, shared by both the museum

and the 12th Man Foundation, that will feature rotating exhibits focusing on sports at Texas A&M University. From the lobby, visitors will enter the museum. First, they are greeted with the Spirit of Aggieland including a donor wall and introductory exhibits to the Sports Museum.

Visitors will experience several different exhibits in the Museum including the Timewall, Legends Gallery, Sport-by-Sport Perimeter Displays, and Interactive Computers.

donor Wall

T he Sports Museum project was several years in the planning stages and is now a reality. The

museum opened in August of 2001, in time for the first home football game in early September. The museum was built without the benefit of state or university money. The Lettermen’s Association in cooperation with the 12th Man Foundation raised those funds.

Each sport has its own area, which is named in honor of a team or letterwinner. Those interested in contributing to the sports museum sustaining fund are encouraged to contact the Lettermen’s Association office at 1-800-310-3272 or the 12th Man Foundation at 979-846-8892. Current tax laws make the gift of appreciated stock very attractive.

TiMeWall

T he timewall occupies a corridor at the north end of

the museum space. Black and white pictures of the earliest days of the university remind visitors of the founders’ efforts, while bright forms of life and color celebrate a prosperous present and foretell an unbridled future. Large panel-size graphics are punctuated by significant artifacts and highlighted by a sequence of programmed light and audio.

The legendS

gallery

T he core of the exhibit is a gallery that celebrates and

reinforces tradition and achievement, which are also the core of the university itself. Concrete gray walls and columns create an arena for the display of the university’s most treasured symbols of sports success in photographs and memorabilia that recall those uniquely gifted individuals who came before.

periMeTer diSplayS

T he perimeter displays exhibit the different sports, as well as the Aggie Band, Yell Leaders,

and each of the traditions that instill Aggie Spirit. These displays capture the spirit of sport and present the vitality of the on-going programs, teams and traditions of A&M Athletics.

CoMpUTer

inTeraCTiveS

D atabase terminals and video interactives are

positioned throughout the Museum. Visitors can peruse the photos of athletes or review famous films of great plays and memorable moments.
