Aggies: More Than Meets the Eye, Part I

So, as I was sitting in the theater thinking about the greatness that is the Transformers movie, I got to thinking about which characters reminded me of Aggie Football players. This is the first in a series that I will be rolling out all week. Comments and suggestions are always welcome. The first three:

Jorvorskie Lane: Unicron
The fan website unicron.com describes Unicron better than I can hope to:
Known as the "chaos bringer" Unicron was created shortly after the dawn of time. He is the most massive and deadly of all Transformers. His goal is to absorb the Universe; planet by planet, solar system by solar system. With each world he devours, he grows in size, strength, energy, knowledge and power. He carries out the assimilation these worlds with total ambivalence to the lives of those he destroys.

Of course it makes just as much sense this way:
Known as the "chaos bringer" Jorvorskie was created shortly after the dawn of time. He is the most massive and deadly of all Aggies. His goal is to absorb the Universe; planet by planet, solar system by solar system. With each world he devours, he grows in size, strength, energy, knowledge and power. He carries out the assimilation these worlds with total ambivalence to the lives of those he destroys.


Stephen McGee: Optimus Prime

The leader of the Aggies meets the leader of the Autobots. Both are awesome in ways that I cannot hope to put into words...enough said.

Yemi Babalola: Bumblebee
In the live action movie, Bumblebee is sent to Earth to be the personal protector of Sam. In real life Yemi Babalola was called to Aggieland to be the personal blindside protector of Stephen A. McGee. (Okay, so I don't actually have any idea if McGee's middle name starts with an "A", but stick with me here.) In the cartoon, Bumblebee is constantly trying to prove himself capable of hanging with the larger Autobots. Babalola was a lightly regarded recruit coming out of high school who is constantly showing that he belongs at the highest levels of college football.


I'll be back later this week with Part II.
