So this happened in Week 1 on Texas A&M’s sideline:
Texas A&M’s still strutting with the drum major’s mace, regardless of what happened in Week 1
Whatever’s going on here, it’s amazing.
That’s Texas A&M’s Trayveon Williams, who’d just ran in a 61-yard touchdown against UCLA to give the Aggies a 38-10 lead in Pasadena. As he reached the sideline, someone handed him that flashy cane/scepter/apparatus. He then strutted.
I was then told by several A&M fans that this is the band drum major’s baton, called a mace.
Why did someone hand it to Williams? Undetermined at this juncture, but it was on the sideline for a while.
He handed it back, though.
The Aggies went on to lose that game in one of the biggest collapses ever, but here was the scene a week later against Nicholls State:
Never give up on the mace.
Teams have made a thing of handing out sideline bling these days.
Miami now gives defenders a huge gold chain for causing turnovers.
Alabama has a wrestling-style title belt, also given to defenders who record takeaways ...
... and Colorado State now has a similar belt ...
CBS Sports Network
... while Ole Miss’ belt has turned heel.
It’s sounding like A&M’s ‘90s mafioso rapper cane isn’t necessarily of a similar vintage, but there is literally nothing in the world I want to learn more than exactly what this cane is all about.
