Description

Gig em, Aggies! is a powerful rallying cry for Texas A&M football, originating from a 1930 yell practice. The phrase, accompanied by a thumbs-up gesture, was coined by P.L. Pinkie Downs, a board member, to mock TCUs horned frog mascot. Over time, it evolved into a universal cheer for all Aggie sports, symbolizing optimism and camaraderie.
