I grew up in Houston as the son of an LSU father who lived in Tiger Stadium, so I'm well aware. I said it was a distict advantage of A&M's in that College Station is only an hour away. My post had nothing to do with LSU, which has a TON of grads in Houston and in the O&G industry, because the existence of LSU isn't germane to my point that A&M can target suites harder than many other universities thanks to its ties to an industry primarily situated only an hour south in which its graduates are over-represented compared to the rest of the population. I'm not dissing LSU or implying that LSU doesn't have ties to the O&G industry that it can count on to buy suites, it definitely does, I'm posting about A&M.

Well put. Even though LSU's largest alumni base is in Houston.. It's still only 2nd or 3rd largest in the city. Also, having your largest alumni base outside of your home state is not something I'd be pouding my chest about.

And I'm not dissing ATM either. Just pointing out that many of those in the O&G industry aren't your alumni, but ours.
