In the aftermath of
TicKetstock
Battle against the clock makes motivation scarce
N othing gets you fired up for
a football game like stand
ing in line for a few days.
A friend, a very chipper
friend, approached me in my
third hour of camping out for
tickets to the Texas game Mon
day night and told me it was the
closest thing she had witnessed
to Woodstock in her life.

As I took inventory of the computers, TV
sets, VCRs, satellite dishes and nuclear mis
sile launchers, I realized that this was no
Woodstock. Jerry Garcia must have been
rolling in his grave at the mere suggestion.
It was ... something, but it hardly had the
theme of peace, hope and love that hippies
embraced. It was more of a whoop, gig ‘em
and lounge scenario.
Many people might have felt the Aggie
Spirit sweep through them, but then again,
it could have been delusional fatigue.
But seriously, there were probably many
“good bull” stories that came out of the
whole Ticketstock experience — I was just
too tired to notice.
There was probably the good Ag who let
someone type a paper on their computer in
stead of playing solitaire. Or maybe someone
let a fellow Ag rewind a movie on their VCR
when that Ag discovered that their VCR had
no rewind or fast forward buttons. Or how
about that Ag that offered his friend a spe
cial recipe soda to help keep them warm.
Yes, good Aggieness was all over that
lawn. But let’s not get carried away. Every
time a car drove by, the driver felt the need
to inspire the campers with a rousing “Hul
labaloo ...” from their horn. Usually a few
muddled groans met this battle cry.
Let’s face it, we were there to get better
tickets than those poor freshmen who
haven’t even figured out that there’s a game
this weekend. A huge awakening lies in
store for the freshman who asks their sopho
more friend to pull good tickets for them on
Wednesday only to learn
that the only good tickets
went to a few crazies who
got in line after watching
the Thanksgiving parade
last Thursday.
In what was a mix of the
stock market, phone regis
tration and hell, the lines
that wandered slowly toward the ticket win
dows offered a huge test in patience — I left
and had someone take my place.
The last thing on my mind as I lifted my
couch over piles of my roommate’s laundry
and back into place was my “burning desire to
beat the hell outta t.u.” It’s nothing a little
sleep can’t cure, though.
After all, no school could have a camp out
like A&M. UT might have done without
threats from PITS officers with megaphone
but in Austin, there would have been fight
drugs, protests and stereotypical assumpt® Sbisa
about people’s behavior,
Yes, despite pulling tickets that will test
the most far-sighted of eyes, the camping oil
will overcome all the negatives in my mindt,
survive as a positive memory.
By the end of the week, those tickets wll
mean more to me than any other tickets I’ve
had at Kyle Field, and that has more todoin: tOW
how I got the tickets than the game itself.
Who really knows if we captured thes
of peace, hope or love — at least we had TV,
