Bushwhacker Athletics
A combination of intramural leagues at Texas A&M University and recreational leagues in the Bryan/College Station community, Bushwhacker Athletics (BA) provides important team-building and stress-reducing activities to graduate students at the Bush School. Starting out as a softball team, the BA has grown greatly since its inception in 2000 to now include indoor and outdoor soccer, basketball, volleyball, flag football, and bowling to name a few. Students also develop leadership skills as they organize and coach teams; plan events revolving around sporting activities such as the annual "Duke it out for the Dillo" softball tournament against their rival, the LBJ School at the University of Texas; and participate in the annual "First-Year vs. Second-Year Flag Football" game.
Athletic Director and Coaches
Volunteers agree to coordinate "team" efforts, and each season new volunteers join the Bushwhacker team as coaches. In addition to the traditional teams, interested students can volunteer to start new teams each season through the organization.
Mascot
Beginning in 2007, Bushwhacker Athletics began appointing a team mascot for large sporting events. This honor, held by 1-2 volunteers each season, is bestowed on outgoing students willing to wear the "dillo mask and tail" and to lead our teams to victory with their enthusiasm.
