I believe the "no name towns like College Station" in "My Best Friends Wedding" was spoken by Julia Roberts who was at one time married to Lyle Lovett who went to A&M. I think she threw that line in the script to get a dig.

I can't remember the name of the movie, but it was one of Chuck Norris' karate flicks. The kid who played the lead who Norris was teaching wore an A&M sweatshirt.....

another king of the hill moment is when hank takes his mom and her friends to the miniature museum during spring break and he meets those 2 college guys, one in a sip shirt and the other in an A&M shirt

Can't forget "Sidelines" on ESPN

When do they mention A&M in Dancer, Texas Pop. 81?

I don't recall any mention of A&M.




You know me, gotta roam. Gotta bird-dog. Gotta cross females and fences, and if you'd all just come along you'd see...

Tommy Lee Jones is wearing an A&M cap while working outside the house in a scene in Coal Miner's Daughter. At least I think it was CMD....

I don't think that A&M is mentioned by name...

In "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo" (1943 film about the Doolittle Raid, 18 April 1942), Robert Mitchum portrays Robert M. Gray '41, of Kileen. He was pilot of Plane #3, "Whiskey Pete". Robert Gray Army Airfield at Fort Hood is named for him.

Proceeded to China bailing out at 6200 feet in the mountains near and Southeast of Chuchow. Lt. Gray, Lt. Mach and Sgt. Jones were uninjured. Lt. Ozuk suffered a severe cut on his leg due to landing on a sharp rock. Corporal L.D. Faktor was found dead. The case of Corp. Faktor's death was unknown as his parachute apparently functioned properly. It is suspected that he landed on extremely rough terrain and was killed in the secondary fall. A detailed report prepared by Lt. Gray is attached hereto.

Gray was killed in action later in 1942, while flying in the India-Burma-China area.

So, Robert Mitchum portrays an Aggie in two films.

One Southwest Conference band director of the (Adams) era reportedly said "I dread going against the Aggie Band...It takes two weeks to recover from the trauma."

There was also an episode of "JAG" a few years back, where a "gung-ho" Navy aviator (grad of A&M) was on trial for disregarding the rules of engagement by firing on a suspected insurgent truck convoy in the Balkans (were allies). Was exonerated, but canned by his CO.

Doc Brown came up with the flux capacitor on Nov 5, 1955, this is the same day Marty goes to the past. Then Marty is supposed to spend one week in the past( next Saturday night we are sending you Back to the Future). This is the same night Biff is listening to the radio in the car in Part II. So the date is Nov. 12, 1955. According to the link above A&M beat Rice 20-12. And I believe that is the score that is stated on the movie but I will check.

A&M is mentioned in Back to Future II? COOL.

I'm thinking one of the Back to the Future movies, but I can't remember which one. Am I losing my mind here?

Weren't Nick and Jessica watching the game during Thanksgiving? He was sitting outside, she walked out and he asked, "Who's winning?" She kinda ducked her head and said, "Texas". He just looked at her for a bit, turned back to stare into space and replied, "Oh."

I don't know if it was bc he was pissed that he was canned for the commercial he shot, or what.

in one of the back to the futures, they say the score of an a&m game over the radio.

I think on that Newlyweds episode they were talking about the Cowboy game

No, it is in reference to the A&M-t.u. game.

Also in addition to the RB in Varsity Blues mentioning Texas, at the pep-rally the band is playing a speeded up version of the Aggie War Hymn.

The Simpsons has had several references to both Texas A&M and tu. The had a rock concert in Springfield was called Hullabalooza and Bart had an action figure that looked like a Corps guy with senior boots.

I've seen Texas A&M sweatshirts worn on Cheers, The Cosby Show, and Empty Nest.

In an epsiode of the West Wing, Martin Sheen is holding a mug from the Bush library. I thought that one was cool when I spotted it. I was also suprised I noticed a detail so minute.

Texas A&M sweatshirt in the Sublime video.

cret to the mention of the Joe Francis production.

Ensign George Gay, who was shot down and while floating in the ocean, witnessed the destruction of the Japanese Fleet is an Ag.


Sweet. The 87th response on this thread.

Jim Garrison, the New Orleans District Attorney that attempted to reopen the investigation on JFK’s assassination was an Aggie (as was one of his lead counselors). In Oliver Stone’s ‘JFK’ Jim Garrison is played by Kevin Costner and both he and his Aggie legal counterpart both wear Aggie rings in the movie.

There have also been a lot of Aggies on reality television shows within the past year (Road Rules, The Bachelorette, The Apprentice, etc.)

The Back to the Future II score of the A&M-Rice game was Ags 16, Rice 13.

In response to Jock 97's observation on the War Hymn in "Varsity Blues:"

One of the schools the filmmakers studied before making the movie was Sealy High School. The Sealy fight song is a speeded up version of the War Hymn.

How about The Ramones' album cover (can't remember which album).

I thought this was only about movies, though.

in the king of the hill where hank goes to port aransas on spring break, he talks to two kids, one wearing an A&M tshirt and one wearing a tu tshirt

Isn't Jimmy Buffett wearing a Texas A&M jersey in the video from "Who's the Blonde Stranger?"

OlAg00: I was trying to forget "Sidelines."

That Johnathan Brandis guy from the Sidekicks movie above is dead now. Committed suicide last year.... carry on.

ttt for agthatsagirl

I'm not going to bet money on this, but in WHAT'S UP, DOC? I think Barbra Streisand says she went to Texas A & M to study veterinary medicine. She's telling Ryan O'Neal about the dozens of different academic programs she's started but never finished in her life. Whatever the major was, it sure got a reaction out of the audience when she said it!

In the first episode of "Over There" one of the characters talks about how he was offered a partial football scholarship to Texas A&M but declined it because his family couldn't pay the rest of tuition...so he enlisted in the Army with hopes of going back to A&M after his time was done...because he heard that A&M "let's walk-ons play on the kick off team"

Return of the Jedi.

No, dude, that was Tatooine A&M

There is a saw 'em off in Troy, where the thousand ships are launched from Greece. The A&M viz lab did the computer graphics for Troy.
