headed to College Station soon, hoping for a defining game by ND to start the season. If you want to be considered one of the best, these are games you have to win.

Been in the parking lot tailgating for over an hour and surprisingly empty so far. Must be a lot of Aggies at gameday

 

[calvegas04]

Word around the web is tons of Irish fans there

ND always looks like they have a strong fan showing the day before a game, the home crowd is at home not out at the hotels and bars

The Ags can’t hang with us northern partiers

Honestly it’s kind of refreshing to know there’s another fan base out there so weird they make Notre Dame people look normie.

 

[MacIrish75]

I’m really going to have to pace myself on the Busch Lattes today on the lake.

I’ve seen a lot in Austin getting ready to head to the game. A lot of ND fans coming in from Houston today as well.

Currently in line for a rental car in Houston. Man it’s fuckin humid here.

 

[NorthDakota]

GameDay crew predictably being homers for A&M, but the Kyle Field love was a bit over the top.

 

[irishff1014]

God I hope this team is prepared. And proves these yahoos wrong.

 

[Luckylucci]

Everyone of the Gameday panel picked A&M except for the old senile guy (I love Corso), lol

I haven’t been on much so maybe I missed that you said you were going. But cheers and have an awesome time. Go Irish!

Yeah, it was kind of annoying. Obvs they're playing to the crowd but none of them had anything to say beyond "A&M gonna win because it's so loud." Thought at least Saban would mention the actual football part.

You living right. I got real bad edema going on so gotta stay away from sodium so no grilling or drinking for me today

I set up in his driveway. I’m house sitting while he’s gone, he just doesn’t know it. That’s what good neighbors do.

My brother, I will add you to my prayer list and have some Hacienda for you.

Midnight Yell video. If you want to save 46 minutes, the highlights were:

Limp wristed guys in wearing puffy painted overalls doing some weird leg kick in a display of nuclear grade cringe, and just when you think it can’t get any worse, they start talking.

May I be so bold as to proclaim that I hate all these fux picking A&M. Rhetorically, what the fuk is an aggie anyway? More importantly, who actually cares?

Irish by 1000.

I'm sure this is unwanted lesson but I like learning things.

I believe an "Aggie" is just person who attends an agricultural school. At least in its origin I think. Now I would associate Aggie with farmers as well (splitting hairs, I know).

It can be confusing though, if you look at old newspaper clippings, you might see headlines like "Texas Aggies take down Mississippi Aggies." This would indicate that TAMU beat Mississippi State. I think it was just an early way to distinguish between a state's "flagship" and the "ag" school in state's where those are separate institutions but both named after the state.

ND Ag (now NDSU) was the Aggies.
TAMU still the Aggies.
Michigan Ag (MSU) was the Aggies.
Kansas State was the Aggies.
Colorado A&M (CSU) was the Aggies.

Etc. I think now it is used by a couple other schools as a bona fide mascot - perhaps a reference to the region's history or farming. There are some high schools who use it too - albeit not many.

I bet you those yell guys pull a ton of poon tang.

Utah state and New Mexico State still aggies think also uc davis and some other fcs and d2/3 schools

Idc if people pick A&M but it's driving me wild how many are calling it an upset considering they are quite literally the betting favorite and like every TV personality is openly picking A&M. Will we get credit for a road SEC upset if we win or just credit for winning as the "superior" team?

Does anyone know where I can purchase the ND hat that Shane Gillis was wearing this morning on College Gameday?

A bonfire? I wouldn’t have gone that direction A&M.

Game day! Can’t wait .

It’s such a lazy pick. AM is favored but ranked lower. My fear is that ND doesn’t feel like the underdog but are but isn’t… lol. They win and they were supposed to, they lose and were supposed to win.
