The Red, White and Blue Towel Out was created by a group of student leaders with generous help from the 12th Man Student Foundation. These groups worked with the idea all summer long, but they encountered substantial negative feedback from faculty members, students and the administration regarding the idea. Many felt that although it would be a great display of Aggie pride, it might take away from the "specialness" of the original Red, White and Blue Out. Control of the project was given solely to the 12th Man Student Foundation, and they decided to go for the commemorative towels, which I personally think is a fantastic idea.

Don't lose faith in Aggieland, Ms. Grigg. Although the Red, White, and Blue Towel Out never came to fruition, the Spirit is still there.
