The 12th Man

I did it. I have found the actual 12th man. No longer is it a body of people standing for hours at the football game, ready to go in for the Ags when he is called. No, there is an actual person - the biggest A&M fan I've ever seen in my life. I found this guy on the bus today - 03 route on my way to Langford. I will refer to him as Bobadoo from now.

I'm sitting on the bus, waiting to leave the MSC when on steps Bobadoo. At first glance you say, "Geez, that guy is wearing a lot of maroon. Maybe he's an athlete." (Because that would make sense to see that much maroon on one body at one time.) Bobadoo sat right across from me so I got a really great look at him. Not only was he wearing all maroon, each article of clothing and accessory had the A&M logo on it. None of these items were endorsed by any company so I scratched the athlete idea and came up with the idea that either this guy is joking or he is obviously the biggest supporter of A&M I've ever seen. I'm going to go with the last idea and run with it.

Bobadoo had nine things that I could see, all of which displayed A&M. Starting from the top, he had the hat, sunglasses, shirt, watch, bracelet, keychain, pants, sandals, and bag. Bobadoo's get-up would have been complete had he been sporting the Aggie ring...maybe sometime soon he will be able to add that also.

Bobadoo is definately the biggest A&M fan, the actual 12th man...I bet if he didn't have his sun glasses on, I would have seen a sun tan line across his face where his glasses were this past Saturday at the game. I'm willing to bet he was the first one there, the last to leave, and had the most A&M's on his body. Yay for Bobadoo...keep supporting the Ags for us two-percenters who struggle to find a maroon shirt in our closet.
