I'm sorry we all couldn't just have taken a "wild guess" at what A&M stood for!  The wilder the better!  

Maybe I'm just jealous that the state of Kansas didn't name K-State: Kansas P&C for Pig and Cow! biggrin.gif

Mr. kbear, perhaps – on the basis of your geographical advantages – you would also favor us with a definition of Tea-sipper, a term I believe is widely understood and practiced in the Aggie Argot.

Sorry to disappoint, but not being a football fan of any stripe and a Texas Transplant to boot, not to mention that the Aggies are the other guys and the enemies in and around Austin, which is UT Country [College Station, home of A&M is 100 miles east], I have not the requisite background.

I did a quick Google and came-up empty handed.

I am pretty sure that it's "T-sip" rather than "tea-sip", the "T" standing for Texas. coolio.gif
