A BIG reason why I hate A&M.

Yes, the governor of Texas and 2012 Republican presidential aspirant was talking trash at the Crimson Tide. If it costs him the state of Alabama in a much-rumored 2016 bid to become the 45th president of the United States, well, he's prepared to live with that.

The former Texas A&M Yell Leader is just that fired up for Saturday – arguably the biggest home game in his alma mater's history. During our 22-minute conversation Thursday, Perry was enough of an A&M honk to make me suspect he has an account and a screen name on AggieYell.com.

Gov. Gig' Em told Yahoo Sports that he became a grandfather this summer: "Outside of an Aggie win Saturday, it's pretty much the biggest thing to happen to me this year." At least Ella Gray Perry is too young to be insulted by playing second fiddle to Johnny Football in grandpa Rick's heart.

He predicted that Kyle Field will produce the greatest atmosphere of the year in college football: "My bet is that there will not be a more intense venue. If you can crank it up to 11, it will hit 11 Saturday."

1. He cutely said: "Roll Tears Roll!"

I hope they shove it down his throat.

2. Yet you LOVE the Texas Rangers...

BTW, Maryland is finding Rick Perry's "tour" to be very amusing. Other than the KKK-teabaggers out in Frederick and Hagertown, he won't find much love.

3. Governor "Good Hair" probably likes the Astros.

6. The average Texas family has 2.1 children.

The .1s all go to A&M.

Houston's "Beltway", Loop 610, is also known as the Aggie evacuation route.

An Aggie met a beautiful, sex-crazed woman. She grabbed his tie and said, "Do it to me where it's dirty and nasty!"
So he drove her to Beaumont.
