CU at the Game Podcast – Episode 5: Road Trip to College Station and Texas A&M
—
Welcome to the fifth episode of the CU at the Game Podcast. With this episode, I am introducing a new series: “Road Trips“. Over the past 40 years, I have had the opportunity to follow our Buffs to the four corners of the continental U.S. – from Seattle to Miami; from Los Angeles to Boston. On most of those trips, I have been accompanied by my best friend, Brad Geiger.
We start with College Station and Texas A&M … (hopefully) CU’s opponent on September 19th. In 2008, Brad and I had the opportunity to travel to College Station for CU’s game against the Texas A&M Aggies. We took in Midnight Yell Practice at Kyle Field, after a fine dinner (and an encounter with some Aggie fans) at the world famous Dixie Chicken. Also in this episode: The history behind the 12th man, Reveille … and a celebration of the Aggie Band.
