shite. In high school my dumbass friends and I would go to Hornback's to play pool. We thought we were cool--being in a bar and all.
But yeah, place pretty much sucks. I never went there nor met anyone who did while I was a student. Guess I'm glad to hear it's still around--won some money back in the day.

Just read the comments.
Don't beat yourself up, OP. I thought it was an exemplary effort. But I guess the unfortunate thing is that effort is the operative word.
Nevertheless, I can respect someone taking the time.

I struck up a conversation with this nice looking brunette(a rarity in College Station), and just asked her a bit about herself, in particular as to why a attractive girl like herself was at Texas A&M and not somewhere like the University Of Texas. She told me that her grades weren't good enough to get into UT.
Completely blew the troll on this one. It's almost impossible to be accepted to A&M and not get in to Texas. There was a lot of other fail here though with the State/Ole Miss fan talking academic smack, the bizarre short jokes, and acting as though Starkvegas with 1/10th the population of BCS is somehow a better party town. Not many Ags are actually "Ag" majors anymore either so I don't know where the livestock thing is coming from.

One of my high school friends, we all use to call him Squirts(Long story...), goes to Texas A&M and happened to call me up the other day informing me that he had an extra ticket to the Kentucky game and asked if I wanted to come down and we could make a weekend out of it.
I'd never been to Texas A&M before so I figured, "Ehm, why not?". So upon arriving at College Station, the first thing I noticed is the fact that everyone at Texas A&M is incredibly short. As soon as I arrived, it seemed like a million eyes were glaring at me. To put it in perspective, imagine that scene from The Wizard Of Oz, when Dorothy's house first crashes down and the little munchkins start to appear out of hiding, shocked and scared.
I mean, I'm 6'5" which puts me well above the average, but these kids didn't seem to be an inch over 5'0" tall; each one wearing something maroon and a military-style haircut, similar to a Mississippi State crowd except for about 12"'s shorter and smelling of what seemed to be stale milk and livestock.
The campus was actually pretty large, but unfortunately it was one of the worst campuses I've ever been to from a architectural viewpoint. The game was incredibly lacking of any atmosphere. I asked my friend how the nightlife was here in College Station and he seemed overly excited to take me to this place called Hormback's.
Let me describe this place to you, imagine that scary old house at the end of the street in your neighborhood that the old crazy man lives in. You know the one, the old house where it took two weeks before anyone realized that the crazy old man who lived there had died. Imagine if they then half-hearted-ly renovated that house into a bar but didn't bother to remove the smell of two week old decaying flesh from the joint. That was this place.
It smelt terrible, it looked terrible, it was the embodiment of Texas A&M because every student was there. I had to literally wade through what seemed like a daycare of fun-sized maroon-laden college students every time to get a drink. Of course, being much larger and more noticeably built than the rest of the population, I drew a lot of female attention. I struck up a conversation with this nice looking brunette(a rarity in College Station), and just asked her a bit about herself, in particular as to why a attractive girl like herself was at Texas A&M and not somewhere like the University Of Texas. She told me that her grades weren't good enough to get into UT.
I ended up leaving early, there was really nothing interesting in college station, it felt like I was on the set of The Hobbit the entire time. Probably the worst college basketball atmosphere I've ever experienced.
solid grind

I think most people are missing the point of this troll

You have bad friends. Anyone that would take you to hornbacks doesn't even know the scene.

I've heard from many people that College Station challenges Starkville as the worst town in the conference.

It blows. Hopefully people learn their lesson and don't visit

Oxford isn't exactly the best the SEC has to offer.
Posted on 2/9/13 at 11:22 pm to FrozenPancakes
For calling Oxford overrated, which it is.

I only used to go there. It really isn't anything special, especially compared to other SEC towns.
