Aggie Athletes Represent Texas A&M University in the 2012 London Olympics
August 1st, 2012 Categories: Community Events, Texas A&M University
There has been plenty of excitement over the recent launch of the 2012 London Olympics. Over one billion people worldwide tuned in to watch the opening ceremonies in London on Friday, July 27th and even more are eager to watch the famous match ups of various athletes in the diverse Olympic competitions. However, there is a secondary enthusiasm for the start of these games in College Station, Texas. Thanks to the outstanding athletic programs at Texas A&M University, 23 Aggie athletes will be competing in various sports with several associated personal appearing in coaching positions, reporting, as well as to simply show support for the students representing such a great institution.
The twenty-three Aggie athletes that will be appearing in the London Olympics will be representing fourteen different nations. Among the list are Canada, Australia, Mexico, Jamaica, and the Bahamas: along with Estonia, Grenada, Trinidad & Tobago, Tonga, the US Virgin Islands, Lithuania, Croatia, and Zambia.
Fifteen of the twenty-three Aggies are women, outnumbering their Aggie male Olympians by almost twice as many. This reflects a national trend, as this is the first Olympics ever that the number of female Olympic athletes have outnumbered the population of the male athletes. However, Texas A&M’s proportion most likely has more to do with A&M’s outstanding women’s swimming and diving Read the rest of this entry »

The Spark of Rivalry: Texas A&M in the Southeastern Conference Vs LSU Tigers
June 8th, 2012 Categories: Community Events, Texas A&M University
In January, 2011, Texas A&M faced down the LSU Tigers in the 75th Cotton Bowl Classic. This date sparked an incessant competition between two nationally recognized universities, and likely served as a primary influence for Texas A&M’s decision to join the Southeastern Conference (SEC).
On June 7th, 2012, Former Coach Jackie Sherrill came forward and announced that Texas A&M and LSU could become a featured Thanksgiving football game. This event would only further in solidifying the recently developed competitive enmity, perhaps eventually filling the hole left by the Texas A&M/Texas rivalry. It would also serve as an opportunity for A&M to assimilate smoothly into the SEC, establishing themselves as a serious competitor within the division capable of bringing in revenue and publicity.
Football within the SEC, while the primary reason for Texas A&M’s transference to the SEC, is hardly the only aspect of comparison between universities and rarely serves as a measure of a University’s repute. So, in the spirit of a potential rivalry, an assessment of Texas A&M and LSU’s university backgrounds is in order.
The history of the University of Texas A&M is most likely familiar with any and all university Read the rest of this entry »

Homeless Aggies!!!
March 27th, 2008 Categories: Market Trends, Texas A&M University
Much angst and uncertainty has developed in anticipation of city review of an attempt to limit the number of unrelated people living together in one College Station residence.
Late next month the City of College Station is set to take up the issue of whether to pass a city ordinance restricting the number of unrelated people living in a single family dwelling. Student interest groups are already rallying against this action, even going so far as to create an online interest group boasting “BTHO Housing Ordinance — GIG THE VOTE!…” Read the rest of this entry »
