Gig em

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.'"

A Great Quote

From the late Alan Stibbs, a wonderfully clear writer, and an astute expounder of the Bible. "This one event of the cross of Christ is a final revelation of both the character and consequences of human sin and the wonder and sacrifice of divine love."
