wrap up in full winter gear
because the bleachers were
covered with snow and the
wind whipped through our
stadium with fearsome
speed; despite that we had
to bring thermoses full of
hot chocolate just to make it
through the game, they
were fun.
They were at night, after
all. The weather didn’t mat
ter. I would have attended
anything, just as long as it
was under the lights.
There is something
electric about playing at
night. Feelings are inten
sified, the air is charged
— it is just a lot more fun.
Part of the excitement
of the t.u. game last sea
son was that it was
played after dark.
And the Louisville game
— why do I remember it so
fondly, and clearly?
Because I wasn’t suffer
ing from heatstroke. It
was a night game.
Part of the excitement
of Midnight Yell is that is
takes place at Midnight.
Would people still turn out
for Noon Yell? Would it be
any fun?
Well, of course it would,
but it would lack the extra
oomph that comes with the
dark. There is something
special about playing under
the lights.
Unfortunately, we won't
get to experience that
something at Kyle Field
this season. All of our home
games are during the after
noon. And in Texas that
simply isn’t very safe. It
may make for increased pop
sales but it isn’t good for us
to be dehydrated and over
heated.
I will agree that a crisp
fall afternoon is also great
weather for a football game
but most of our home games
are in September and Octo
ber.
Crisp and fall don’t enter
our vocabulary until No
vember and by then, we
only have one home game
left.
It would wonderful if the
athletic department could
take advantage of this once
in a lifetime (we hope) op
portunity.
Do what we want while
we can. Change the time of
our games so that we can
enjoy them under the
lights, at night. Change
them so that we don’t have
to worry about heat exhaus
tion.
Let’s make our 100th
year of football as fun as
possible for everyone. Let’s
play at night!

I i 1 irst American Bank knows the demands of college
JL usually don't leave you a lot of time to worry about
your banking needs. But we also know that cashing
checks can sometimes be a hassle for students, especially
when your money is in an out-of-town bank. That's why
we designed the 12th Man Checking Account especially
with Aggies in mind.
Using 12th Man Checking, you'll have the home
field advantage that comes with using a local bank.
And, with our five locations around the Bryan-College
Station area, banking convenience is just around the
corner.
But the benefits don't stop there. Unlike many other
accounts, 12th Man Checking has no specified monthly
minimum balance and requires an opening minimum of
only $ 100. You'll also have quick access to your cash
24 hours a day with your First American Bank MPACT
card.
So give the 12th Man Checking Account a fry. It'll
definitely give you the home field advantage.
