The Texas A&M baseball program has a rich history and plenty of tradition that makes the team fun to watch. One of those relatively recent additions to that tradition has been the bubble machine. When an Aggie hits a Whammy or wows on the field the Aggie faithful respond with bubbles.

That’s right. Bubble machines made it on the same list as concealed firearms, fireworks, and illegal drugs. The prohibition hasn’t stopped Texas A&M fans from sneaking in a bubble blowing device before. Aggies sent Minute Maid Park security on a goose chase hunting for a smuggled bubble machine during the Shriners’ College Classic in Houston.
Bubbles or not. Be there. Be loud. And BTHO Louisville.
