Bitch please?
Neutral games suck the atmosphere right out of the game.
Only good thing about Jerrywold was that they sold booze. The parking setup sucked and the tailgating setup sucked in that you could only have a certain amount of space.
Nothing pussy about it. $$$ drove this result and the stale atmosphere at Jerryworld wasn't driving money.

Well at least A&M gets to go to the Mecca of College Football.
LSU still has to play in a run down high school stadium.

Didnt we already know this and thats why Arkansas is looking for someone else to play at Jerryworld?

LOL - maybe if you guys would show up the atmosphere would have been better. But I can understand sitting on your hands after the last 3 years.
$5MM per school is plenty of money to keep playing in Jerry World. Fact of the matter is, A&M doesn't feel like they can win there. In college station? Maybe.

Only selling booze is a pretty big draw imo.
Yall don't need a lot of space since your nut to butt all of the time.

It sounds like it wasn't finalized.
And I'm glad I get to go to Fayetteville/CS. Dallas sucks. Arlington sucks.

Arkansas fans with guns a blazin this morning.

If you say so Ocelot... Arkansas had a hell of a time selling tickets at Jerrywold as well. Your third deck was empty between the 20s and your 2nd deck was spotty.
Seems like both fanbases were meh with it.
Both schools did not make $5MM at Jerrywold the last two years. They made roughly ~$3MM... A&M makes more than that at home games.

Why would your school schedule games in Jerry World in the first place if you would make more at home then?

I think now that it is an SEC matchup, it would give it way more relevance and atmosphere. In fact I think it would be fantastic game to have every year, and get a lot of t shirt fans. The Aggies need more of those, and for Aggies living in the metroplex, it would be a great way to grab friends and family and easily show them a great time. Also steal some thunder from Red River Shootout. I think an SEC game in the metroplex is GREAT for the SEC brand, and will be really sad that this is ending. But Arkansas's contracts to have an SEC game away from Fayetteville make it essentially inevitable, right Hogs?
I am 100% pro Jerry World game. I do think my fellow Aggies are being huge pussies about it. I have had great tailgates at Jerry World, and I think it will only grow and help us forge a new rivalry. It seems very dumb to me to shut the SEC out of the metroplex. INCREDIBLY short-sided by the Aggies, imo.

Have to go to class in a few minutes though. Hold the deck!

Because Jerry is a hell of a salesperson. The first year both schools did make $5MM each.

We have great tailgates too, but I'd rather have them at Kyle.
I could give a frick about helping out the Metroplex. Nothing pussy about it. It's purely $$ driven and convenience driven for most.

I saw pictures that showed a different story. Maybe they were photoshopped.

Nah. We like winning.

Where did you get that? Link? I thought the original contract guaranteed each school $5MM/yr.

Thats just the sound of aTm blowing a 14 point lead.

No we can bring recruits to the arkiesaw game. Couldn't do that under SEC rules.
