Take a test or watch the Aggie game? That is the question
The fascinating culture of Texas A&M University football has been a frequent topic on this blog over the years. So, when a current student posted the following dilemma on an Aggie message board, hilarity ensued:
[A professor] scheduled a test on Thursday the 30th from 6-8. When we told him there is a game (Texas A&M vs. Oklahoma State) that night, he just laughed. Here are a list of options I have, please offer any advice.
- Take the test quickly and watch second half
- Record game and start from beginning when I get home, roommates would not be happy
- skip test
- fake illness
- actually get sick and go to quack shack for a university excused absence
- drop the class
Help me out TexAgs.
My favorite response came from an alum who got kicked out of class for bringing Reveille, the collie that is the Aggie mascot, to the class. He advised the professor upon leaving:
"This is your class and I will respect your rules, but please know that you are more expendable to the university than this dog."

The professor should have answered, "Your are correct. What does that tell you about the exact value of the degree you hope to receive?"
