It originated when the A&M Aggies were playing the TCU Horned Toads. Gigging is a form of frog hunting where they are speared and collected. The yell leaders wanted the Aggies to Gig the Horned Toads and Gig 'em stuck.

What does gig'em mean for the Texas Aggies?

At a yell practice before the 1930 TCU game, A&M board of regent Pinky Downs '06 shouted, 'What are we going to do to those Horned Frogs?' His muse did not fail him as he improvised, borrowing a term from frog hunting. "Gig 'em, Aggies!" he said as he made a fist with his thumb extended straight up. Many Aggies don't know that though, they just say it now because it is a tradition.
