They continue to do more harm than good with these things IMO. I think they had to pull the last one after getting so much ridicule.

Um, just wow.
I mean, aside from the weird image of three toddlers driving a loaded tank, and their shooting an undefeated plastic cow, and wearing an SEC logo that isn't the SEC logo...That first minute of Jackie saying "we got a big job to do, are you ready to do the big job", was painful to watch.
All of that being said, this sort of ridiculous overkill and hatred toward Texas makes me feel like AM will fit in well with us. I can imagine a Bama, Auburn, or Tennessee video made by fans about children shooting tanks at the opposition.
Mizzou still has to prove to me that there's more to them than hating a basketball school and wearing trendy Nike unit.

Really? That was sanctioned by Texas A&M? Weak.

I'm pretty sure that A&M didn't produce that video. Aggieland Outfitters made a big deal about taking down Bevo the weekend A&M became an official SEC school. If you look at that video, all of the items bearing the A&M and/or SEC logo (even the lanyard Sherrill was wearing) are available on Aggieland's website. The end of the video was definitely an ad for Aggieland Outfitters, not A&M itself...

Alright, KY, time for an education on some Aggie History. I can't help but laugh out loud about the "undefeated cow" line. The "13-0" isn't a record, it is a score. And it is how Texas' mascot got the name "BEVO".
In 1916, four Texas A&M Aggies kidnapped the Texas longhorn and branded him with "13-0", the score of A&M's 1915 win over the Horns. The Longhorns didn't want to have a mascot bearing that score, so they got creative. They used a brand to extend the horizontal lines of the "3" to touch the "1", making the "13" into a "B". They also used the brand to make the "-" into an "E", slipped in a "V" and left the "0", making the brand read "BEV0"
I hate pretty much everything about Texas University, but I'll give them that one. They definitely made lemonade from those lemons...
That being said, this video was at LEAST better than the last one...

I had no idea. Obviously. Thanks for the info. You're going to come in handy this season. Plus 1!
