If anyone has a photo of Rudder's statue, that would be a good addition to this page rather than Rudder Fountain - it was already uploaded, so I figured I might as well use it. -Texink 04:47, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vision 2020

Does anyone think we should include some info on Vision 2020 or on Gates's tenure? I'm torn. Karanacs 19:04, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Should we include these things?

Here are other things I've thought might have a place in this article, but I'm not sure.

• Formation of Aggie Band
• Formation of Yell Leaders
• Development of 12th Man tradition
• Introduction of a mascot (first Reveille)
• Milestones in athletic programs - e.g. 1939 football National Championship, 1982,1983, and 1987 softball national championships, 1957 Heisman winner John David Crow, Randy Matson as an Olympic Gold Medalist during his school years
• 2001 Red-White-and-Blue Out
• Aggies suing the Seattle Seahawks over 12th Man
• Cloning

Does anyone else have an opinion? Karanacs 13:36, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

This is just my opinion, but I think it should be solely an academic history. Thus, only cloning would fit under that criteria. I think Texas A&M Aggies would be a better place to include historical athletic events, since that's where someone will first look if they want to know some aspect of A&M sports. Great job on the expansion of this article, by the way. -Texink 20:57, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Each of those things has its own article, so the history aspect of each would be suitable in its own respective article. --Blueag9 (Talk | contribs) 22:05, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
