Kevin Whited catches Houston Chronicle sports columnist Jerome Solomon making arguably the worst attempt at an Aggie joke in history:

It is sad that Texas A&M has spent the ’00s playing the role of little brother to Texas’ big brother.
While the bratty Longhorns constantly rub A&M’s nose in national championships ó no matter how infrequently they come ó the Aggies have to play with matches to get attention. (emphasis added)

Earth to Jerome, Earth to Jerome. The Aggie Bonfire collapse in 1999 was a horrific tragedy for not only Texas A&M University, but the entire state. Making light of it is in extremely poor taste.
My sense is that Mr. Solomon should sit in the corner for awhile after that one.
