The OU game has me nervous. Believe me, all Ags understand we have a league standard to uphold! From Bear Bryant, Gene Stallings and Jackie Sherrill to the admiration Aggies have for Alabama - I hope you never see a bad post from an Aggie. Roll Tide and Gig'em.

I'm beginning to warm up to the idea of A&M being in the SEC. Kinda glad Manziel won the Heisman, now. I haven't seen a bad post from aTm so far, though I'm sure there has been. If aTm is ok with the Bear, then it's alright with me too I guess. Just beat Oklahoma! You all have a league standard to uphold.

I I will say, every time I hear gig em I think about someone with a shank ready to stab someone. Can you help me out with the gig part?

I think part of the problem is that the only thing ever gigged in the SE were frogs, and I don't mean horned frogs, which, IIRC, are lizards anyway...

I am curious about the Gig'em saying myself. Don't have a clue what that is supposed to mean. Does aTm have some sort of hand jesture they do? I noticed a lot of the Texas schools have hand jestures I.E. UT hook'um horns and Texas Tech guns up and TCU horned frog thing they do. Just curious.

From Texas Aggie Traditions -

This tradition began at a 1930 Midnight Yell Practice held before the football game against the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs. In an attempt to excite the crowd, Pinky Downs, a 1906 Texas A&M graduate and member of the school's Board of Regents, asked "What are we going to do to those Horned Frogs?"[SUP] [/SUP]Using a term for frog hunting, he answered his own question, "Gig 'em, Aggies!"[SUP] [/SUP] For emphasis, he made a fist with the thumb extended. The phrase and hand signal proved popular, and it became the first hand sign of the Southwest Conference.
