Game Day Tradition surrounding the game rwi hough many Aggies won’t remember t how many passes were completed in 1986 or how many yards rushing were gained, they will remember going to yell practices, post-game parties, visits from parents and all the other fun that went along with home football game weekends. As soon as class ended on Friday, it was time to start the weekend. Books were thrown aside and forgotten until Sunday. Final party plans were made, and blue jeans and T-shirts replaced dresses and ties. Dur¬ ing football season, student organizations set up tables in the MSC, the Commons and other frequented locations, selling shirts, mums and other Aggie parapherna¬ lia. Thousands of students gathered in Kyle Field on Friday night before the game — strangers connected by the common bond of being an Aggie — and showed their sup¬ port, often made more vocal by a pre-yell keg party, for the football team, Jackie Sherrill and Texas A M. Many students anticipated the arrival of their parents. Usually a visit from mom and dad meant a bag of goodies — everything from chocolate chip cookies to forgotten clothes — and a free meal after the game at a nice restaurant other than McDonald’s. At halftime, senior Aggies filed onto the field for “boot line,” a receiving line for the players and another way to show support for the school. Saturday nights were usually spent celebrating an Aggie victory.
