AggieRod73, May 3, 2007

I am not granger. I do not want to take any of his credit for this great song. It was emailed to me about a week ago by a mutual friend of ours. this is a rough cut that was recorded in his garage. It is supposed to be released in a few weeks with the proceds going to a "we bleed maroon" scholarship fund at A&M.

Vic Quinton

rayeal (Vic Quinton) Leander, TX, May 4, 2007

This is absolutely amazing. It's so hard to explain these things to people that aren't a part of this place...this town-this school-this tradition-this spirit. I'm in awe. It makes me proud to be where I am...engulfed in all that is Texas A&M. Callie '09

callie_t College Station, TX, May 4, 2007

One of my best friends from college just sent this to me and I couldn't hold back the tears. I have so many fantastic memories that only an Aggie could understand. Thanks for making the song. The song has special meaning to me for more reasons than one. My Dad is '69 and my Grandfather was '42. I'm '99 and I bleed maroon! I want this song to circle the world. Granger, you need to let Robert Earl Keen and Lyle Lovett know about this. Someone forward it to them. In loving memory of Adam P. Goren '99 (C-2). Amy '99

aggie99whoop Fort Worth, TX, May 4, 2007

I think Granger should sing half-time at an Aggie game this fall! How can we make this happen?

CottageTravel Bryan, TX, May 4, 2007

Actually I heard he might sing this song live at the first aggie home game!

gig 'em

aggiemom87, May 4, 2007

bco99 Kyle, TX, May 4, 2007

Granger, this is an awesome song that brought tears to my eyes. You nailed all the events that hold us together as the family of Aggies. God bless you, your band and E-2 company. Gig'em Ags!

aggierod98 (Graciella Rodriguez) College Station, TX, May 4, 2007

WOW! From an aggie who experienced the loss of two Ags my freshman year, this explains what you can't seem to explain to those that don't understand our Aggie Culture! Is this going to be on a CD??? I want to play it at my wedding, which is the beginning of June. Again, way to go on these lyrics. It takes me back to dorm life, crazy apartment life, and the life I loved living my years in College Station!

Ag2003, May 5, 2007

chas05ag Fairfax, VA, May 7, 2007

This is truly a wonderful song! You capture what "can't be explained from the inside." Aggie's have so many dates and events that they will always remember and hold dear to there heart. Thanks for this song! In loving Memory of CPT Ernie Blanco, SQ 16 and MAJ Matt Worrell, L-1, see you two at Fiddler's Green!

ColoradoAggie99 Monument, CO, May 7, 2007

Wow this song brought tears to my eyes. This song truly represents the pride and tradition that is Texas A&M! It really is hard to describe how amazing this school and it's tradition are, but I believed Granger did it in this song! I really hope Granger sings at the football game!

ProudestAggie09 College Station, TX, May 7, 2007

There's a Spirit can ne'er be told.......... but this comes close, even then there are those who will never understand. Brings back memories of several juniors and seniors from hometown who passed my freshman year. Muster had new meaning that year and every year since....
Gig 'em!

Amen, Brother Granger! You've shared the Aggie Spirit so eloquently. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us and reinforcing the Aggie family bond! Brady & Jenny Waters '93

PastorBrady93 Plano, TX, May 8, 2007

I was there at Sbisa when you sang this song at Muster this year. My husband, Joshua Frank, class of 2005, was preparing to call "Here" for his brother, Matthew Thomas Frank, class of 2007. Matt was killed on June 8th, 2006 in a car wreck at the Harvey exit (going towards Waco). There is a white cross displayed there for all to see. We know that Matt would have loved this song and we want to thank you for making the Muster experience that much more special.

Howdy Ags and radio listeners in College Station and Bryan. I have a radio show on KEOS 89.1 FM in B-CS. It's called Bright Sky Radio and airs every Monday night from 7-9 PM. We are community, public, all-volunteer (as in no paid staff at all!), non-commercial radio. We are a completely independent radio station and have been run by committee for more than 12 years. Music and songs like Granger Smith's are why we got started in the first place. We play what we want to hear, and no one tells us what's in or out. I just heard "We Bleed Maroon" for the first time moments ago and found it to be totally radio-worthy. I'll share it with all the other programmers at KEOS Radio, and we'll put it in "the rotation." If you're in the area next Monday night, tune in to 89.1 FM; I'll be sure to play it on my show! Singer-Songwriter and Acoustic music are some of what we do best, and this is even better. As we like to sometimes say, "We play Country music that is too country for country radio." One of the coolest things about our station is that we have a live performance space, so I hope we can get The Granger Smith Band hooked up to play live in our studios while we send their sound out over the airwaves. In the meantime, I'll do what I can to spread the news about Granger Smith's sensational song. By the way, it hit all my Aggie buttons too. Bright Sky Aggie, '86

BrightSkyRadio Bryan-College Station, Tx, Tx, May 9, 2007

I love this! So much better than "Sweet Home College Station" or "Fightin' Texas Aggie". I want a CD to send my husband, a Class of '99 grad who is in Iraq right now and lost a buddy at Bonfire.

Gig 'Em!

Well done Mr. Smith. Brings back a lot of memories. Especially the train whistle which I used to hear nightly from my dorm room in Moore.

acoldstarnolds7 Houston, TX, May 10, 2007

This is one of the best songs I've ever heard. It describes a feeling that is only felt when you have experienced being an Aggie. I lost a great friend the day Bonfire fell. I will always remember that tragic day. On a more positive note, this weekend my sister, two first cousins, and four of my closest friends will be graduating from Texas A&M. I also have about 10 other family members who have graduated from Texas A&M. We bleed maroon in my family.

Aggieland is a special place.

aggie02 Houston, TX, May 10, 2007

AGGIES are a special breed and I'm so glad that I love my AG's. I do not have the degree, I didn't walk the stage and my heart dreams of the day I do so I can wear that ring. I do BLEED MAROON and Proud of it.
Thank you Granger for being a TRUE and PROUD AGGIE, your song will let the world know what they miss not being apart of all this Tradition.
Proud of you.

caitlinryan2010 Tuscola, TX, May 10, 2007

WOW! I absolutely love this song! I get chills every time I hear it! As soon as I heard it it was put on my myspace! I believe it could possibly be a new tradition at Texas A&M! It means so much to me and I am truly touched by it. May God Bless and may the Aggie Spirit continue to touch your heart and be a true inspiration to your talents! Gig' em Granger! ~Ivah '09

Very touching. Great job of pulling together the traditions and memories of all Ags.

AggieDad04and08 Houston, TX, May 11, 2007

Fantastic song. I was at A&M then. It was a hard time for us all. This is a great tribute to the school and the traditons. I'd love to BUY a copy of this song. Anyone know where I can? - Class '02

clintbyrom, May 11, 2007

I am at a loss for words. It captured my days at A&M to the t. What a talent you have, you took our memories and put them into awesome lyrics and fantastic tune. You've sold another copy or two. Granger, this song will make you. God Bless and Gig'em

deb1978 College Station, TX, May 11, 2007

As an Air Force brat, I never stayed anywhere long enough to call home until I went to A&M. It's been a decade since I graduated, but my memories of everything from Fish Camp to dunking my ring were completely captured in this song. Congrats to the writer and the band for such a moving song!

codius66 Pearland, TX, May 11, 2007

Your song brought back some of my fondist memories at Aggieland. Great song

AlfordJW Old Ocean, TX, May 11, 2007

Wow, Should not have played this in the office - folks do understand an old man crying for no reason - If anyone can show me how to make this song my phone ring. i want to assign it to all my OLD ARMY buddies. God Bless our troops!

cwlane59, May 11, 2007

Awsome! This song truely captures the Aggie Spirit that resides in all Aggies. I find myself overcome with tears of pride and joy as I remember my time at Aggieland. Thanks to Granger for the song. I can't wait for the 15th to buy this download. maybe the scholarship fund will make it possible to pass on the opportunity to be an Aggie who bleeds maroon. Gig 'Em!

houag77 Sugar Land, TX, May 11, 2007

It captures the Spirit of Aggieland beautifully! Thanks!

Gig em Granger---this is great. I need to know where I can buy it.

rtrim3 Dallas, TX, May 12, 2007

Excellent! My husband and I are both Aggies. He actually works for Balfour and makes the Aggie Rings. I teach and help spread the great spirit of Aggieland! Thank you for helping.

mimiag86, May 12, 2007

It's only been a little while since I left Aggieland, but I miss it so much. Your song really brought back some great memories. God bless and Gig 'Em!

aggieamy04 Houston, TX, May 12, 2007

Have to admit, this little song drew a tear. Only those of us who have heard the Spirt of Aggieland whisper through the arms of those crooked old live oaks understand, and we do, and it is on a different level of understanding than the rest of the world. God Bless you.

Aggie76 Gaithersburg, MD, May 12, 2007

I suddenly felt like I was right back on campus, right back at home. Thank you. You will be very successful! I am very grateful to my local Ag's for sending me the link to this page, and I will look for the release. This song will help others understand why we are so committed to each other, and why our past is so important to us! God Bless the Granger Band!

aggiebears89 Olathe, KS, May 13, 2007

this is my absolute favorite song. I am class of 10 and i was home for mothers day and i heard this song. I could not wait to get up back up here. i couldnt be prouder of my school and my family of aggies!!!!

aggie10 San Antonio, TX, May 14, 2007

Amazing song! I haven't been gone all that long, but I am definitely missing it. This song took me back again. It's awesome. I'll be buying it tomorrow when it's released. Way to go.

teege05 Texas, United States, May 14, 2007

Thank you for that. It is just what my heart needed.

chrishollysmith Monument, CO, May 14, 2007

Howdy, Ags! Years before officially becoming a diploma-carrying Aggie, I liked to say "cut me, I bleed maroon", because I always wanted to be one. (I am a Legacy Ag). I surely don't "own" this phrase, because I'm sure other Aggies before me have said it - it's the way we feel. This song is definitely another Aggie classic. This is excellent. I get emotional listening to it.

temunson01 Houston, TX, May 14, 2007

you can go to www.myspace.com/webleedmaroon after midnight to hear and buy the finished version of WE BLEED MAROON. We hope to see you there.

unclemitch (Granger Smith Band) Harker Heights, TX, May 14, 2007

Howdy from Afghanistan! I'm an Army Chinook pilot here and I recently got to meet the other local Ags for Muster. That was a great brotherhood moment for me as a lonely Ag far from home. As I listen to this wonderful song I can't help but feel close to my Aggie brothers and sisters all over the world. It touches my heart in the warmest way. You would truly be amazed at what your American Soldiers do for you everyday here. As proud as Aggies are we should be 10x as proud of these American's keeping us all free back home. Granger. Thank you for that 5:20's of Aggie love. Gig'em! CPT Don Fontaine, U.S. Army, Class of '98
