I feel as though the Anteater, whilst humble, should be celebrated today. Here are some of my favorite anteater links:

An excerpt from link #5:
The anteater was chosen in 1965 when students were allowed to submit mascot candidates, which would be voted on in a campus election. An undergraduate named Schuyler Hadley Basset III is credited with choosing the anteater and designing a cartoon representation, having been disappointed with other mascots such as a roadrunner, unicorn, and golden bison.

I wish they'd chosen the Unicorns. That way, the following headline could've been written:
"Longhorns suffer upset of mythical proportions to Unicorns"
What a frustrating series: two starters out due to injury plus tons of errors while having to play the No. 9 team in the nation in a Regional.
Let the excuses begin...
A&M had one of the strongest 2 seeds in the country in their regional, and the big 10 postseason champion.
A&M also didn't mail it in in the 8th inning of an elimination game.
Aggie Spring Sports '07 > Longhorn Spring Sports '07
matt, i think you forgot about 12-7. the spring is great but please do not forget the fall and the glorious T+1.
What's that I hear? A sound not heard often...the deafening silence of the humbled t.u. faithful.
And the Aggies rejoice.
I agree: A&M had a better year in sports, both fall and spring. The only thing I disagree with is Kelley's point that A&M had one of the strongest 2 seeds in its region. La-La was unranked.
