Texas A&M, which stands alone as the name, began as Agricultural and Mechanical, and most were ag majors, which resulted in the nickname Aggies.

It is a playing marble. The name is short for agate from which they used to be made.

It's a marble (you know, the round sphere's you play games with as a kid) that's made out of agate.

I think it means marbles, from agate which they used to be made of.
