That is freaking hilarious, lifesaver! I had a prof once who was an Aggie and good hella gracious did he ever drive us nuts! He'd sit there and "practice" his yells DURING (yes DURING) our EXAMS!!

I think that the Aggie War Hymn starts out "Hullaballoo kanuck kanuck, Hullabaloo kanuck."
When all those students were killed at the Aggie bonfire a few years back, the University of Texas played the Aggie War Hymn at halftime of their game. Though I'm not a crier, I burst into tears in front of my astonished husband. All the years of antagonism between those 2 teams and UT played the War Hymn in honor of those students--maybe one would have to be a longtime Texan to truly understand what a tribute that was.....
