OU Football Question

[oKOIhoma fan]

Hello All,
I am new to the fourm. I have been a lifelong Sooner fan. My Grandfather got his degree there, his father did, my father got two degress there. Of course my father moved us out to South carolina before I had a chance to go. We visited my grandparents in OKC every summer. I actually got to go to my first OU game (Clemson has always been my second home on football saturdays) Two years ago, and I felt right at home. Anyone willing to charter a weekly flight for me? Enough of that on to the question.

I have been reading this book "Sooner century 100 glourious years of Sooner football" by Brent Clark. I really have enjoyed it. During the early years, the book keeps mentioning the Oklahoma A&M Aggies. I often see on here that you refer to OSU as they aggies. Did State used to be the A&M aggies? That would certainly help lessen my confussion. I enjoy the board. Heres to another championship.

Oklahoma State University used to be named Oklahoma A&M. It was changed in the mid-1950's I believe. But I'm not sure if their nickname was "aggies" before the change or not. Their Pistol Pete mascot has been used for years and years.

I do know that if you want to P.O. an OSU student/alum/fan, just refer to them as an "aggy" or "aggies". It really gets a rise out of them; really quite amusing.

I really think Texas fans and Oklahoma State fans are the same thing. They always seem to use other teams to try to bring OU down.
