The Story of TexAgs
TexAgs.com was launched in 1998 by Peter Kuo (Class of ‘92). He was one of many Aggies who congregated online at the website GoBig12.com (R.I.P.), but when the site was rumored to be taken over by the Austin American-Statesman, Kuo saw a need to provide an alternative home for Aggies. He didn’t have any web programming experience, so he bought a copy of HTML for Dummies and got to work. After getting a functional site up and running, all he needed was a name. He found the perfect one displayed on his license plate: “Tex Ags.”
With the help of community donations and t-shirt sales, Kuo was able to launch the site and keep it running until signing on with an advertising partner. Once TexAgs began turning a profit, he paid back all the donations he had received, many for twice the amount of the original gift.
As TexAgs grew, Kuo turned down buyout offers from sites like Rivals.com and Fox Sports; however, in 1999, fellow Aggie graduate Brandon Jones (’95) and partners bought a large share of the site and took over as President & CEO, a position he still holds today.
In 2002, Jones and his business partner Josh Oelze (‘99) partnered with recruiting insider Billy Liucci (’98) and former A&M tight end Hunter Goodwin (’96) to launch a subscription service called TexAgs Premium.
