SEC - Texas A&M; Aggies

Hello Life of a Sports Wife readers! My name is Chelsea, and I blog over at Anchors Aweigh. I was thrilled when Jessa asked me to write about game day in Aggieland because, well, there are few things I love more! My husband and I both graduated from Texas A&M and absolutely love our school, so I thought I would share a few fun game day facts about what it's like to be an Aggie.

You might be an Aggie if...

It's completely acceptable and expected to greet anyone and everyone on campus by saying "Howdy!".

 You and all your friends look forward to seeing the Fightin' Texas Aggie band during half time as much as you look forward to seeing the actual game. Some schools don't necessarily care about the band, but we are mildly obsessed with ours. Even if the Aggies lose, we always win halftime ;). 

Johnny Manziel is a household name. This guy helped make our inaugural season in the SEC an extremely successful one. We are excited to see him do it again this year!

About 10% of the student population is made of these guys. This is the Corps of Cadets, and my husband Parker (far right) was a member all four years. The Corps deserves an entire post on it's own, but it is one of the neatest things about Texas A&M. 

You get a kiss every time the Aggies score. The Aggies score, we score! ;) 

You ooh and aah over a certain border collie no matter how many times you've seen her. Reveille is the first lady of Texas A&M, and we are all obsessed. She attends class with her handler (always a sophomore in the Corps of Cadets), and if she barks during class, the professor has to dismiss class for the day.

Win or lose, you bleed maroon. "We've seen em win, and we've seen em lose, but we've never seen em quit". They play this before each game, and I always get chills!

My twin sister and me on game day!

 I hope yall are as excited about football season as I am! Tailgaiting, watch parties, copious amounts of maroon everywhere...I can't wait!
