Happy Gameday, Ags!

Today, we honor the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and the game that united Aggieland in patriotism. In a time of grief, that stadium became a lasting symbol of unity, pride, and the enduring American spirit.

25 years after 9/11, we honor the fallen and the heroes who answered the call. We are defined not by tragedy, but by the indomitable American spirit that rises, heals, and stands united in freedom. Our nation remembers and stands strong.
