Wow, this is way more violent and morbid than I expected.

What does this mean?

By tradition, every year on April 21 Aggies gather in College Station or wherever they are in the world to remember those who have passed. A speaker calls roll for those who died. When we hear the name of someone we knew, we respond "Here." We speak for them since they only live in us now. It's very sentimental, and kind of chilling. On campus, all lights are cut as the sun goes down and people proceed silently to and from the ceremony. Tens of thousands attend.

So the comment literally says "I knew someone who died that night." Of course, it could be a more figurative memorial to fallen Aggies.

Sorry for your loss. I'm going to be an Aggie soon, it's really great to see some online.

It's an Aggie thing related to the muster tradition. When aggies muster, there is a Roll Call for the Absent that is read. When called you say here for your friends that have died.

It's a sign of respect and condolences pretty much.

The football game that followed was one of the most somber sporting events I've ever seen. The Longhorns didn't really feel it was okay to do a lot of their traditional taunts in that environment. And the Aggies were mourning.

It was a truly surreal thing.

Fun fact: "Aggie Engineering" T-shirt sales got a bump in Austin, TX, shortly after this tragedy.
