Random reflections on theology, politics, sports and TEC (The Episcopal Church).
So what does Gig-em mean? "At a yell practice before the 1930 TCU game, A&M board of regent Pinky Downs '06 shouted, 'What are we going to do to those Horned Frogs?' His muse did not fail him as he improvised, borrowing a term from frog hunting. "Gig 'em, Aggies!" he said as he made a fist with his thumb extended straight up. And with that the first hand sign in the Southwest Conference came into being.'"
Ok - can't let this go. It doesnt' happen all the time that an A&M B-ball team makes it to the Sweet 16. When I was at A&M (many years ago) Central High School in Newark, NJ could have beaten them. But not now!
