Good post, and I didn't know the reasons for the request. I told a few aggies I was going to roll around in it and take a patch home as a souvenir just to mess with them, but I had no intention of walking on it, as to respect their tradition. Now that I know what it is all about, I will actually have a reason to call out anyone who does and an explanation for them.

I'm sure somebody has asked but can miles eat the grass to pay tribute. Of course I'm only joking.
I like the idea of the tradition for fallen soldiers and if I see an lsu fan on the grass I will try to remove them or educate them.

Appreciate the sentiments.
Personally I wish they would just stick with the "no hats" policy because it is confusing but you know Aggies and traditions. There are memorials all over the campus as we have had so many make the ultimate sacrifice in the military. There were actually more Aggies that served in WWII than any other school, including all of the service academies combined. Even though the Corps is now just a small percentage of the student body those traditions hold strong.
BTW, the confusion about "which grass" is compounded by a completely separate tradition. If you are in the Corps only Seniors are allowed to walk on the grass on campus. That only applies to folks in the Corps though, not Non Regs and certainly not people from other schools or who aren't Aggies.
