Why We Do It

Looking up at the Kyle Field student section is already intimidating for a visiting team. Looking up at a sea of maroon surrounding you on all sides is that much more unnerving. Meanwhile our boys look up at the trusty 12th Man, unified in Maroon, and they know they can count on us when they need us most. Maroon Out started for this very reason. A&M was hosting #2 Nebraska. The reigning national champions with a 19 game winning streak when they arrived at Kyle Field. The Aggies needed a miracle to win, and a miracle they got. Motivated by tens of thousands of Aggies in the stands wearing maroon and waving white, the Aggies slayed the Nebraska giant, 28 to 21.

Funds from Maroon Out allow A&M able to host and grow our many cherished traditions. Maroon Out in the past, has helped fund Ring Dance, Elephant Walk, Junior E-Walk, Pull-Out Day and Fish Fest. This year, Maroon Out is proud to be a sponsor of Fish Camp, an Aggie’s First Tradition! Every Maroon Out shirt you buy has helped us put on these incredible traditions.
