A & M!


So, I found the above carved into the Colosseum in Rome this summer.  It made me really sad-- did someone really think that was good advertising for Texas A & M?

[Side note to people not from Texas:  Aggies signify their school, apparently without irony, with this style of the letters "ATM."]

[Side note 2:  Yes, those are my dad's initials right above "ATM," but I'm pretty sure he did not carve them into the Colosseum.]

Hey, no reason to be sad for the proud A&M person defacing an ancient monument, this only proves that Rome still has it and that all roads do indeed lead there! Even those in Brazos County Texas.

Was Johnny Football on all the magazine covers there, too?

As you know, Megan, "football" isn't even the same thing there...
