In Texas there is a common understanding that nothing can bring the Aggies and the Longhorns together.
Well almost nothing.
When word came out that the Westboro Hate Group was planning to protest the funeral of a dead soldier (and former Aggie) the students and alumni decided to form a human barrier to protect the family from the idiots.
As it turns out the Westboro gang did not show up, but judging from the comments on the article, it seems even Longhorn fans were ready to applaud the move.
