The pussy WAOM fans. New era in CFB, recent natty in baseball, and we have three top end coaches in football, baseball, and basketball. Instead of enjoying it, it's constant waiting for the WAOM moment for a lot of OM fans.

Yeah, it’s going to be difficult for a carpetbagger head coach to recruit head to head vs. Freeze.

Law school needs to be replaced with matching classic native stone architecture.

It’s happening (albeit 40 years later than it should have), but Mizzou is finally accepting the reality that investing in its athletic programs is good for the university. We wasted a lot of years and opportunities trying to downplay and diminish sports because the leadership and faculty absolutely loathed football and thought they could push Mizzou upstream academically if sports were not costing a big chunk of the budget.

It’s probably not a coincidence that Mizzou is experiencing its best year ever for undergraduate applications immediately after an 11-win season capped off with a Cotton Bowl victory over Ohio State.

Tear down Dorman Hall and expand the Junction green space with some type of plaza to enhance the best tailgating scene (that is right in the shadow of the stadium) in the SEC.

Yes others have a larger over all tailgates and The Grove is great but State has the best tailgating that is literally at the stadium in The Junction.

They have fixed a lot of issues since I was on campus. The campus is still very large though, and dorms were generally on the outskirts of town.

When you are a student block seating for the various Greek societies was frustrating at football games. Guessing that is still an issue as tickets became even harder to get

I wish Bama would put more emphasis on STEM degrees. We have way too many useless liberal arts majors. Also wish we would up our standards to get in and partner with a community college to get the lower score students enrolled there and then they can transfer to UA after proving they can handle college

The two percent of our fanbase that are just complete idiots. Aggies have a great history, unmatched loyalty to the school and each other, a great university dedicated to educating the kids of Texas, conservative values..degrees with value and the Aggie network…yet we have a small number of mouthy idiots that just need to STFU.


A&M needs to quit with all the weird shite they do.

I wish our alumni would focus/invest in football and basketball as much as they do baseball

This needed to happen 15 years ago when I was at MSU. I’m amazed it’s still there.

It’s such an eyesore in the background any time we have SEC Nation in the junction. Or the last time we had college gameday

Do away with the corporate white tents that take up all the good tailgate areas and go back to allowing tailgating on campus starting on Wednesday of game week (aka, The Good Ole Days).

Totally agree about Alabama. Way too much emphasis on useless liberal arts degrees and not nearly enough emphasis on STEM degrees. Also the university massive now building wise. Almost too big.

The discount is for all surrounding states, not just Texas. The Texans do flock here though and are in the way.

I wish LSU would invest in its MBB program, but it will never happen.

I wouldn’t really hold the actions of the student section against an entire fanbase.

Bama needs to tear down Coleman Colosseum and replace it with a modern basketball facility. All they want to do is stick another band-aid on it and walk away feeling good about it.
