Osler's Razor

A few days ago, in discussing the Baylor v. Texas A & M game, I mistakenly identified the Texas A & M mascot as "Sarge," a drunk and sexually ambiguous soldier. I regret the error.

In response to my previous post, "Blue Gap Drifter" correctly noted that, "Actually A&M's official mascot is Reveille, in this case Reveille VII. Rev, as she is affectionately called in the Brazos Valley, is a full-blood collie and the first lady of Aggieland. Reveille is taken care of by the mascot corporal, a sophmore in the Corps of Cadets, and she goes to class with the student. If she barks in class the tradition is that class is dismissed immediately."

I apologize to Blue Gap Drifter and to all other A & M alums, a group which includes a large number of the best students I have taught at Baylor Law. I also apologize to Reveille (pictured above), who I am sure is a fine dog.

Because many people rely on Osler's Razor as their primary or sole source of news, I continue to be committed to accuracy and thorough coverage of important events. And Haiku.
