Gig'em started at a yell practice before the 1930 TCU game. A guy named Pinky Downs shouted "What are we going to do to those horned frogs?" and then he would say, "gig'em aggies!" (with a thumbs up sign)
well it refers to our longhorn hand symbol, like your thumbs up thing. and it was introduced a few years after your gig em was. harley clark came up with it to resemble the longhorn head as our logo, and its just a saying that goes with it.
I am a new AGGIE transfer and that video gave me chills. For as many times as I witnessed step off as a kid, the feeling never changes. Thanks

im a HUGE longhorns fan, but think that the A&M band is pretty cool. btw, what does gig em mean?
mdawwg17 4 years ago
From dictionarydotcom:
gig- verb (used with object)
3. To catch or spear a fish or frog with a gig.
Gig'em started at a yell practice before the 1930 TCU game. A guy named Pinky Downs shouted "What are we going to do to those horned frogs?" and then he would say, "gig'em aggies!" (with a thumbs up sign)
Where did "hook'em" come from?

Is there one good video of the Aggie War Hymn with good audio? Everyone I have seen have been home video recordings where the crowd ruins the song.
