REAL TOUGH. REAL STUFF. TEXAS…

A&M!

[Texas] A&M’s offseason transgressions are many. Starting senior defensive lineman Gavin Stansbury was arrested this spring on charges of assault on the Rice [University] campus. He’s fighting the charges. Two of Stansbury’s teammates, safety Howard Matthews and receiver Edward Pope, were in a vehicle with him when they were pulled over by College Station police, and Matthews and Pope each were arrested at the same time as Stansbury for prior failure to appear in court.

Receiver Ricky Seals-Jones was arrested this offseason on charges of disorderly conduct, but he’s also fighting the charges. Quarterback Kenny Hill, who’s vying for the starting job, was arrested on charges of public intoxication. Touted safety Kameron Miles was dismissed from the program in early March for what has been reported as theft.

Last year, about half of [Coach] Sumlin’s starting defense was suspended for the Aggies’ season-opening victory over Rice after various misdeeds in the previous offseason.

And hell we’re just getting started!

[Darian] Claiborne and [Isaiah] Golden [were] arrested Tuesday on three charges each of aggravated robbery stemming from a drug-related incident on May 23.

“An Investigation at the scene found that the three victims had entered into an agreement to purchase a quantity of marijuana from the suspects (identified as Claiborne and Golden),” according to a release from the police. “When the suspects arrived at the apartment to complete the transaction, one of the suspects produced a handgun, pointed it at one of the victims while the other suspect took the money that was present to purchase the marijuana.

“While this was occurring, one of the victims stood up from the couch and was struck in the face by the suspect with the handgun. The suspects then fled the area on foot and the victims notified police.”

SING IT WITH ME!

We are the Aggies – the Aggies are we
True to each other as Aggies can be
We’ve got to FIGHT boys
We’ve got to fight!
We’ve got to fight for Maroon and White!

After we’ve strapped on our bulletproof vests
We’ll strut around campus to show we’re the best!
For we are the Aggies – the Aggies are we
We’re from Texas AMC!
