Talk:Texas A&M Aggies

message: I think Ed was correct to question the use of the media guide cover in this article because the media guide was not discussed.  If the cover is combined with commentary (E.g. a source saying why they went with the cover design they chose, or a quote from the guide about making the cover, etc) then the cover image would be usable.

# I for one oppose it. Pat Stuart's comments are indicative of a recent move amongst students at that overglorified junior college in Austin (hey, at least I provided a link) to lay claim to anything with "Texas" in it. For years (especially in the SWC), we were the Texas Aggies. "Texas" refers to the state, not the school. In the oft quoted phrase by Patton, "Give me an Army of West Point graduates and I'll win a battle. Give me a handful of Texas Aggies and I'll win a war," even Patton uses the term. It is historical and has its context. Aggies refer to themselves as Texas Aggies to distinguish themselves from other Aggies. This was especially true when there were many other A&M schools (almost all "XXX State" schools were once "XXX A&M" and were Aggies including Kansas State, Oklahoma State, New Mexico State, etc. We had it emblazoned on our endzones for decades. All I'm saying is that the above opinion is incredibly biased, uninformed, and devoid of a factual basis. BQZip01 03:00, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I requested the move, and I am an Aggie. I also created the original article, "Texas Aggie Athletics." My reasoning for the move was that the article name should be in line with the general template used by other college athletics programs - the name of the school, then the nickname of the supporters. I am fully aware of the historical context of "Texas Aggies" but to be more specific, we are the Aggies of Texas A&M University. I simply felt that the title caused confusion among wikipedia readers (as you can see from Patstuart who supported my move request above). Feel free to rally support for a move to "Texas Aggies." Please don't act like this was all done behind your back though. Everyone had an opportunity to voice their opinion before the article was moved. -Texink 03:25, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Please contribute your photos (must be freely licensed) to this page. As the collection grows, it will be a great resource for all articles pertaining to the school and its traditions and history.  Thanks! Johntex\talk 03:59, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Images and commons

message: Hello - I noticed that the 2006 Texas A&M Aggies football team article does not contain much besides the schedule and the quarter-by-quarter score of the game.  What should be done with this article?  I don't want to see it deleted because I think a little information is better than none, but I think it needs to be improved somehow.  Is there interest in making it into a full article?  Should we reduce it down to just the schedule info to get rid of all that empty white space? Johntex\talk 04:28, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: 2006 football article

message: The following Aggie football players are mentioned or redlinked from the 2005 and/or 2006 UT football articles:
*:Jorvorskie Lane
*:Courtney Lewis
*:Mobley DeQawn
*:Justin Brantly
*:Todd Pegram
*:Brandon Leone
*:Kellen Heard
*Michael Bennett
Are any of them notable enough for an article?  It seems to me that at a minimum Lane and Lewis probably are.  Does anyone want to help me write at article on any of them? Johntex\talk 04:28, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

text: I was about to add - I fixed two misspelled names in the '05 article - Jorvorskie Lane and DeQwan Mobley. I haven't looked into other CFB programs on wikipedia to see how in-depth they get with specific players, but my first reaction is that Lane is the only notable one for now. -Texink 05:35, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Aggie players from the 2005 and 2006 football teams

message: I noticed the lack of references on this article. But my main concern is the National titles. I counted 10, but on the Texas A&M University page, I think it says we have 12. Also, do we still have a designated Maroon Out game? I thought they considered every home game to be a Maroon Out now.  Just some food for thought. I'm new, and I don't mean to step on any toes! TruWalker99 00:20, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Are any of the 12 football titles? Generally, only NCAA-awarded titles are counted, and the Bowl Championship Subdivision does not have a title awarded by the NCAA. —C.Fred (talk) 00:24, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Well, I've been looking at the football titles, and there's definitely some controversy there. http://www.ncaasports.com/football/mens/history has A&M listed as champs in 1939 and tied with 3 others in 1919. So that might account for one of the missing titles. Also, it seems that we went undefeated in 1917, but we didn't get the title. So I'm still not sure, but I'll keep looking. TruWalker99 01:45, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know anything about the 1919 season. A&M, however, only lists the 1939 national championship on Kyle Field and on the Aggie Athletics website. BlueAg09 (Talk) 01:52, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm trying to gauge the interested in created a Big 12 WikiProject and wondering who would like to be involved.  There are already pages for WikiProject Big Ten and WikiProject ACC.  A Big 12 project would cover the schools themselves and anything to do with conference sports including: events, rivalries, teams, seasons, championships and lore.  There is already quite a bit of activity here on Wikipedia regarding the Big 12, and I think a project could help coordinate and unify our efforts.

message: Yes, Texas A&M owns the word mark “Texas Aggies” in order to differentiate them from the dozenish other schools that use “Aggie” as a nickname. But no human being will ever use that phrase outside the context of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band. It is utterly disingenuous to insist that “The teams are also referred to as…‘Texas Aggies’ ”. No Aggie would ever confuse A&M with “Texas” the home of the detested Longhorns. scooteristi (talk) 04:55, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
