Recalling eight exciting decades of football, What It Means to Be an Aggie turns to the men who played in College Station and asks them to share, in their own words, their favorite Texas A&M gridiron memories. Former stars from Jack Pardee to Bucky Richardson to Quentin Coryatt bring to life some of the greatest moments in Aggie football history. Just as important, they reveal the life-changing values they acquired at Texas A&M--loyalty, service, commitment to teammates, and much more--that helped them succeed once they walked off the football field.--

Download or read book Public Memory Race and Ethnicity written by G. Mitchell Reyes and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-06-09 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars across the humanities and social sciences who study public memory study the ways that groups of people collectively remember the past. One motivation for such study is to understand how collective identities at the local, regional, and national level emerge, and why those collective identities often lead to conflict. Public Memory, Race, and Ethnicity contributes to this rapidly evolving scholarly conversation by taking into consideration the influence of race and ethnicity on our collective practices of remembrance. How do the ways we remember the past influence racial and ethnic identities? How do racial and ethnic identities shape our practices of remembrance? Public Memory, Race, and Ethnicity brings together nine provocative critical investigations that address these questions and others regarding the role of public memory in the formation of racial and ethnic identities in the United States. The book is organized chronologically. Part I addresses the politics of public memory in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, focusing on how immigrants who found themselves in a strange new world used memory to assimilate, on the interplay of ethnicity and patriarchy in early monumental representations of Sacagawea, and on the use of memory and forgetting to negotiate labor and racial tensions in an industrial steel town. Part II attends to the dynamics of memory and forgetting during and after World War II, examining the problems of remembrance as they are related to Japanese internment, the strategies of remembrance surrounding important events of the Civil Rights Movement, and the institutional use of memory and tradition to normalize whiteness and control human behavior. Part III focuses on race and remembrance in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, analyzing Walter Mosley’s use of memory in his literary work to challenge racial norms, President George W. Bush’s strategies of remembrance in his 2006 address to the NAACP, and the problems of memory and racial representation in the aftermath of the Katrina disaster. Taken together, the essays in this volume often speak to each other in remarkable ways, and one can begin to see in their progression the transformation of race relations in America since the nineteenth century.

Book excerpt: Texas A&M University is often defined by its traditions, and the yell leaders are not merely another tradition in Aggieland; they are an integral part of promoting and preserving so many traditions, especially those associated with athletics. Through the years, hundreds of thousands of visitors to historic Kyle Field have been mesmerized by the atmosphere generated by the yell leaders, five guys in white uniforms who create maroon mayhem, calculated clamor and a symphony of spirit with the mere gesture of hand signals. From the earliest documented yell leader-Tom Armstrong Adams in 1907-08-to now, the yell leaders have played an instrumental role in defining, refining, building, maintaining and showcasing the Aggie spirit. Then and now, the yell leaders are revered on campus and recognized as the true "Ambassadors of the Aggie Spirit." This is their authorized story, one that is as unique as Texas A&M itself. Since 1998, Rusty Burson has served as the associate editor of 12th Man Magazine and as a vice president with the 12th Man Foundation, the fundraising organization of Texas A&M athletics. Burson began his professional career as a newspaper sports reporter, columnist and editor in Galveston and later joined the staff of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. He lives in College Station with his wife, Vannessa, and the couple's three children-son, Payton, and daughters, Kyleigh and Summer. Burson was hired by the Association of Former Yell Leaders to write this book, which represents his 15th book. Some of Burson's other A&M-related books include Reveille First Lady of Texas A&M; Dat: Tackling Life and the NFL; What it Means to be an Aggie; Standing Together; The Spirit of Kyle Field; 100 Things Texas A&M Fans Should Know or Do Before They Die; and First Dooowwwnnn...And Life To Go.

Download or read book Aggie Savvy written by Glenn Dromgoole and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Texas A&M has changed dramatically through the years as it evolved into a first-class university, it has managed to retain its distinctive cultural heritage and hold on to the Aggie Traditions which have defined and enriched the school and given it character and soul. Traditions such as Aggie Muster, Yell Practice, and Silver Taps are as important to today's Aggies as they were to yesterday's. At the same time, new "traditions" are gradually blended with the old to accommodate changing times and emerging sentiments. When Aggies talk about the "Spirit of Aggieland," it is more than a school song. It is a sense of pride and purpose in what makes the school unique, an enduring experience, an abiding impression. Graduates do not become ex-Aggies after they leave Aggieland but rather "former students." They are expected to be Aggies the rest of their lives. In words and pictures, Aggie Savvy seeks to celebrate that spirit and that uniqueness by focusing on the practical wisdom and life lessons--profound and trivial, philosophical and whimsical--that can be gleaned from the culture, the environment, and the lore at Texas A&M.
