The Sunday prior to the A&M-SMU game saw hundreds of fish out in the quad, pounding bottle caps, punching holes in their centers, and bending coat hangers. The coat hangers had to be bent just so, to keep the spurs attached to the shoes, without doing permanent damage to the required spit-shine. And since fish are fiercely loyal to their outfit, it would be only natural that the number of "rowels" on a fish's spurs bear some relation to the outfit number. <BR/>-----------<BR/>jennifer<BR/><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.widedriven.com" REL="nofollow">Guaranteed ROI</A>Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12023986172540547341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073575.post-6098048048192723062008-10-17T20:33:00.000-05:002008-10-17T20:33:00.000-05:00I think they have you do your class year plus 100,...I think they have you do your class year plus 100, so that those class of '99 cadets could stick it to class of '00 and so on. <BR/><BR/>Some, like our outfit, only had to have 94 total, so I had 47 on each spur. But others required 94 on each foot, which made for some huge spurs.Mike in NYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08104755543425444641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073575.post-75725604539588529552008-10-15T08:59:00.000-05:002008-10-15T08:59:00.000-05:00Yesterday on my walk from the bus stop to my offic...Yesterday on my walk from the bus stop to my office I was met with that very distinctive jingle that only fish spurs can make.<BR/><BR/>I had always thought that the number of caps on each spur corresponding to the fish class year. I guess it's too early in the century for that though, because the set I saw was huge.Timmie Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14690121427691386741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073575.post-79955244820716444312008-10-15T08:38:00.000-05:002008-10-15T08:38:00.000-05:00This is hilarious!
