That's nice. Has anyone mentioned how shitty the LSU expansion looks from the exterior?

Like Alleva was trying to recreate magic kingdom.

The future of our series is very bright for both programs. Glad to be with y'all.


Echo these sentiments.

I'll take trading paint with LSU fans over sips and techies any day of the week.

Y'all can all go politely frick yourselves

Can't really disagree with this, and with the SEC Network money it's only going to get worse.

These programs do bring in a lot of PR and money to the academic side too, so there's that at least.

Really, I feel like our fanbase, monetarily wise, puts us in such a great spot to be on top and become more of a mainstay in the top 10-15

That message came across loud n clear. Hope we don't resort to ever falling behind like we had been. Something tells me as long as Sumlins here, we will have the best of the best.

Anyone still claiming that Texas has better facilities should pretty much just stop posting.

We'll start falling behind the microsecond that our leadership thinks it's ok to rest on their laurels.

Pushing the facilities envelope is like what Pop tells the Spurs about passing the ball: Move it or die.

I really like the little state where the player is from and the town marker within the state. You can see it on the locker pics. That little touch will get a recruits attention. Small shite like that makes me blown away.


It also has the player's twitter handle if you look closely.

Do the locker doors slide in? About the only flaw I can truly come up with - looks like Oregon's.

what's crazy is with the facilities arms race going on in the SEC and the rest of the country, most of these kids will be taking a step down when they get to the NFL.

In the NFL, individuals are responsible for much of their own development.

I can only hope this will be a huge incentive for players like JFF, Mike Evans etc to stay around for longer careers in Aggieland.

At what point do schools build such incredible facilities and hold so much money that they cease to be associated with a university any longer? With the NCAA on a crash course to extinction, I see power conference teams becoming like European soccer clubs and starting up a rival professional franchise to the NFL. God knows colleges are starting to outpace NFL facilities.

This is so true. Even though our football program is down, being in the SEC has funneled enough money to academics for UK to build a $100 million science building. I think this is a very positive trend for the future in the SEC.
