The Mugdown’s Elephant Walk
With the Class of 2026’s Elephant Walk taking place today, many seniors feel as though the stops don’t represent their own personal experiences at Texas A&M. To solve this problem, we at The Mugdown have taken it upon ourselves to create our own route for Elephant Walk with more relevant locations.
Stop #1: The tippy-top of Kyle Field third deck
And no, you can’t take the ramp down.
Stop #2: Brian’s dorm room
Let’s party it up with Brian one last time.
Stop #3: The Tennis Court
Oh, you call yourself the 12th Man when you have never been ready to step in for Alex Frusina?

Yeah, we didn’t know that was here either but it’s a tradition.
Stop #5: St. Mary’s Catholic Church
No, we’re not going for absolution. We’re stealing the communion wine and crackers.

We’ll spit in all that corn.

Stop #8: Our beds
Night Night. Honk Shoo Mimimimi.
–12th Baby
During an A&M home football game, a beautiful baby was born to the most Redass of parents. While the other babies laid in their cribs and slept, this baby stood proudly on top of its bedding. Doctors said it was a scientific enigma: the first known infant born with fully working legs at the time of birth. The baby stood for two hours, refusing to sit or lay down. As the home football game concluded with an Aggie win over TU, the baby laid down and fell asleep. The baby could not stand anymore no matter how hard doctors tried. That was until it was a week later and the Aggies were playing once more at home. The baby stood up again, earning the name as 12th Baby.
