We're having a leisurely holiday rewatch of "Lonesome Dove," and I just had to step into the bathroom for a minute to blubber over Deets. Damn ol Larry McMurtry anyway 😊 📷 Deets marker from the show; Bose Ikard marker from this good blog post: www.yallogy.com/p/on-the-dea...

Merry Christmas Eve! Here's a tiny little clip of "'Twas The Night Before Christmas" as read by RC Slocum himself, a few years ago 😊🎄🎅

@pjmatt.bsky.social idk if you've seen the Knives Out movies... but if you have, what am I missing? People seem to think these are genius-level. I've got to be missing something

@linkerm.bsky.social i'm in the archives and looking at your original print of this! I thought you'd like to see 😊 I was hoping there'd be a notation about which year, but haven't been able to confirm

Congrats to the nearly 5,000 Aggies getting their Aggie Rings this week! Here's a little physics experiment from @aggienetwork.bsky.social -- @tamu.bsky.social's Dr. Tatiana Erukhimova helped us explain the phenonemon, and that's my hand doing the spinning 😊

Re-upping this since we have lots of new Aggies this semester 😊 The maroon stripe on this College Station Whataburger was the chain's first "college colors" display in the country! Story link in next post ⬇️

"Ball 6" in fall exhibition ball! Aggies up 3-0 over TCU

As Texas A&M prepares to lay our Reveille IX to rest today, here are some words written about the first Reveille after she passed away in 1944, as the cadets training to go to war stopped to grieve for their little black-and-white mutt:

Ok its ‘feed it off an aux, speak, grunt no strength, the ladder start to clatter with fear fight down height, wire in a fire representing seven games, a government for hire and a combat site’.

I made a guide to Texas A&M Corps uniforms! tx.ag/CorpsGuide Get ready for gameday 👍 #tamu #gigem #corps #texasaggies

Lo, the tailgate tents are beginning to sprout

This is the way we should be teaching math in Texas. This need to be in the Governor’s next call-Hullabaloo rumble strips from PreK to 16 #txlege

The math for Hullabaloo rumble strips works on ANY size vehicle! tx.ag/RumbleStripMath

Northgate's looking a little different, if you've been gone over the summer (the short building in the middle is Chimy's)

"If Aggies do it twice, it's a tradition" is a much older sentiment than I realized! This is 1947 😊 (specifically, Feb. 7, 1947, in the Battalion. howdy from the archives!)

Traffic is rising in College Station... the students are returning and it's all coming back!

Sleepy summer at Texas A&M will be over before we know it! 😊 🐟 Fish Camp: July 21-Aug 10 🛋️ Apartment leases turn over (“sofas on the curb” season): Late July-early Aug 📦 Dorm move-in: Aug 19-23 👍 Howdy Week: Aug 20-26 📚 1st class day: Aug 25 🗣️ Midnight Yell: Aug 29 🏈 1st home game: Aug 30 vs. UTSA

overheard in a discussion with other faculty: "since Roe v Wade was overturned, 80% of the faculty Texas A&M has hired have been male."

The first and maybe last thing to read about D-Day, the brutal, short life of the men of Able Company. Published in 1960 by a WWI & II combat vet-turned-writer. It was the first 'real' account of D-Day amid post-war John Wayne-ism, the 'first' Private Ryan. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

So happy that I'm getting Miss Reveille's raincoat into the July issue of Texas Aggie magazine 🥰🐾 Keep your eyes peeled in July for our "Guide to Corps Uniforms"!

Aggie-owned Schoepf's BBQ expanding to Georgetown 😊👍 www.chron.com/food/article...

Howdy from the archives, Aggies! Love this fall 1949 ad in the Batt 😍 Top "hillbilly" records in 1949 would have included Hank Williams, Eddy Arnold and Ernest Tubb 🤠 Conveniently located at the "North Gate"!

I’m excited to announce that my new Great Courses lecture series—“Understanding the Marvels of Medieval Technology”—has just been released. In this course, you’ll learn about castles, cathedrals, catapults, carracks, clocks, cannons, and more—all from an engineering perspective. Link below.

Congratulations to Aggie-owned/operated Truth BBQ, LJ's, Stiles Switch and Teddy's for again making the @texasmonthly.bsky.social Top 50 BBQ Joints list! Below is our 2022 list of Aggie BBQ joints; LMK if any of the new BBQ places in TxMo's list are Aggie-owned!

New from me: Because I am a John Wayne/John Ford cavalry trilogy nerd! What order do you watch them in? This article has four chronologies (real history, film order, short stories, internal dates) PLUS how to tell if John Wayne is the same character in all of them 🤠 sues-news.com/2025/05/25/c...

We've already begun adding names to the Muster Roll for 2026. As this year continues, all Aggies' help is requested to assist friends and family with Muster information when and if needed. Here is your toolkit: www.aggienetwork.com/news/163412/...

I wrote a few of these. It's a good list! www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

New perspective on this: Drove exactly 201 miles to reach my Aggie Muster yesterday. Can confirm I wouldn't want to do it in an open jeep in a war zone like Mr. Williams '44 did: www.aggienetwork.com/news/163212/...

A great crowd, a great meal (with desserts by the Aggie Moms) and great Muster chairs (new friends!) at the Coleman County Aggie Muster, where I was the Muster speaker tonight. The Muster is dismissed until April 21, 2026 ❤️🕯️👍

Paris, 1945: 80 years ago today, one of the largest Aggie Musters ever held outside the United States took place as the end of World War II was coming into sight. It was a privilege to write this story! www.aggienetwork.com/news/163212/...

Happy Easter from the Carolina wrens nesting in our kleenex box 😊❤️🪺

Me and my old roomie last night at Aggie baseball. "Ball five ... Ball five ... Ball five ..." "Oh heck I have to put down my beer" (now using both hands) "Ball six ... Ball six ... Ball six"

The toll of international students at Texas A&M University losing their legal status has increased to 23, as of Friday.

The #1 team in college baseball run-ruled Texas A&M last night, and then we run-ruled them today? WHHHHAAAATTTT Baseball, y'all. PUTT-PUTT BABY

Sam Cooke's voice and songwriting have always captured me. This recent documentary about his life and death has more to say about our current times than we might wish. I love the guy and always will: www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Bonjour! Since season 2 of Marie Antoinette premieres tonight at 9 p.m. on KAMU-TV, did you know Texas A&M’s Cushing Memorial Library houses the rare Robert L. Dawson French Collection? Catch new episodes of the PBS fan-favorite every Sunday night and discover more here: tx.ag/FrenchCollection

The animal rescue started a program to combat this issue back in September, and now animals who used to get walked past are living it up in their new forever homes.

This shirt never fails to get compliments at the ball field. Sadly, when asked where they can one, I have to answer “2004.”

We've got the Aggie men's basketball SEC Tournament game on the big video wall 👍👍 (but it's spring break so campus is super sleepy)

Just updated my Aggie baseball traditions story to include the crowd getting to "Ball 13" last night 😊😊 www.aggienetwork.com/news/144844/...

Taking comfort this evening in the lovely skirling guitars of this song, one of my primary examples of "You only know this music if you lived in this era" (never seen the video before, but now I understand my love stems partly from shared Rickenbacker/Hofner/Beatle worship) youtu.be/ZZrIdbumFiI?...

I will show my Mom 😊

@profanity.accountant ok hi me too pls 😊

“What should I pack for SXSW?” Uh, all of it. All the clothing.
