A BIG THANK YOU IS IN ORDER FOR THE WORLEYs & ALL OUR SAN ANTONIO FAITHFUL FOR MAKING THE ALAMOBOWL TAILGATE A SUCCESS! VISIT THE TAILGATE PAGE FOR PICTURES.


 

The Bus -

Since 2004 the Aggie Tailgating Machine has been the foundation around which a growing bunch of Aggies and their families gather for home football games. Here you will find a history of our group in text and pictures. From construction of the bus to the end of the '07 season, it's all here to see and re-live. We hope to see all the old familiar faces and a lot of new ones in '08 ...

The Crew -

Our group has grown with each tailgate party and many friendships have been forged around the Bus. Those friends who support the effort both financially and with help in-kind are members of our "Tailgating Crew". Regulars come from all over Texas and we have a traveling contingent that has come straight to the Bus from Iraq. The tailgates require a lot of work and we are very appreciative of the effort that the Crew and our guests put into getting it all done, but being a member of the Crew is not a requirement to come by and hang out. We welcome all our friends, classmates, and acquaintances to come by and join our extended family at the Bus. You never know- you just might not want to leave!

In Memoriam -

Here you can also monitor our progress toward endowing a scholarship at Texas A&M in memory of one of our own. Matthew Worrell was one of the founding members of our group, going back to its inception, and although combat deployments sometimes prevented his attendance at the Bus, he was always there in spirit. Matthew was killed on May 14, 2006 near Yousifiyah, Iraq when his AH-6 "Little Bird" was shot down by enemy fire . Matt's service and sacrifice were in keeping with the example of Aggie heroes before him and we have endeavored to maintain his memory on campus through this scholarship.
