The Citadel vs Texas A&M Football
Join fellow Citadel alumni and friends in College Station for a weekend of camaraderie as the Bulldogs take on Texas A&M at Kyle Field. The Citadel Palmetto Brigade has secured hotel room blocks and is coordinating additional activities throughout the weekend.
Tailgate
With the early kickoff, the morning portion of the tailgate will be more breakfast/brunch oriented. There will still be beer, vodka drinks, soft drinks, and plenty of great food, including Texas BBQ, craft beer, and much more. Our Aggie tailgate contact, Chuck Berend, has confirmed the High Noon kickoff and has organized events like this many times, so he knows the drill well. The after-game menu is also likely to feature Texas BBQ.
Most importantly, your donations will support Citadel and Texas A&M scholarships.
Please use the Eventbrite link below to make your reservation and donation today. We want to finalize our head count in advance.

Wristbands will be required and will be available for pickup on Friday afternoon from 3:00–5:00 PM in the Embassy Suites lobby.
Other Things to See in College Station
If you have time while in College Station, consider visiting:
- George Bush Presidential Library and Museum — 1000 George Bush Drive.
- Sanders Corps Center — located in the Corps area on campus near Kyle Field. See the digital map for location details.
Both are great venues that I think you’ll appreciate and enjoy.
And a BIG thanks to Tip Hargrove (San Angelo Club) and Rodney Tugade (San Antonio Club) for making all of the arrangements. Our Citadel Alumni Tailgate hosts will be Bob Roseman ’65 and his wife Jan (Houston Club) – who many of you know, and our Aggie Alumni Tailgate host (and event organizer) will be Chuck Berend, Aggie Alumni and father of a Citadel Cadet, Class of 2026. Whoop!!!
