There are many land-grant universities that use the name “Aggies” for their team. There are Aggies in New Mexico, Utah, California, and these are just the ones I know. I graduated from one such school and say proudly that I am a True Aggie!
They may not be able to speak a human language, but I have a pretty good idea what my cats and dogs want to tell me. Sometimes I have to ignore them, but they keep on communicating.
If a tree will eat a kite, imagine what it could do to a helicopter!
