Hey, my first semester roomie was from Midland! This was the same year 
Baby Jessica fell down the well. I have a gaming buddy and a publisher 
from the same law school.

For those playing at home, while U.T. (we write it as tu) and A&M are 
big athletic rivals, in 1926 there was a half-time riot at Baylor that 
resulted in the death of Charles Milo Sessums '27 the following day. The 
unsupported legend is that the other cadets commandeered railstock to 
transport their training artillery with the intention of leveling the 
Baylor campus but were dissuaded, either by the Commandant or by Texas 
Rangers felling trees across the tracks. There was a documented 4 year 
cessation of play between the schools.
