Tonight's baseball game against UT-Arlington was "Pull-Out Day" for the Class of 2007. They were selling t-shirts for $5 and if you wore them to the game you'd get set up with free admission, hot dogs and drinks. Great deal considering that a ticket to the game would've run me $6.
Well, my girlfriend happens to be the proudest member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2007... and her class had a HUGE Aggie moment tonight. One of the most boneheaded things I may have ever seen.
So she buys these t-shirts for both of us (I'm an old fart who doesn't even go to school at A&M, but I look like I'm 19 so it worked out) and tells me to pick her up from school after I get off work. So I go to pick her up and she's got the shirts in her backpack. We show up to the game and she busts out the shirts....
...and I only have one thing to say to the student council '07: If you're going to make shirts that literally thousands of people are going to wear to a game, use your own colors or at the very least find out what the other team's colors are before you make the shirts.
That's right. They didn't make those shirts maroon. They were royal blue and white, the same colors as UT-A, and about half the student section was flooded with kids in royal blue.
Classic.
