I was looking through our press release for the Lamar game and noticed that we have Spanish language radio. Is this new? I've never noticed it before if it isn't.

believe it is new this year. There was a release about it over the summer iirc. Smart move on our part imo as we can't ignore large swathes of our home state

Awesome. Now we can reach a mostly untapped market for future Aggies.

I think it's a great idea. There's no reason that the Spanish speaking population of Texas shouldn't be buying A&M gear with their money.

Houston, Puro Pinche San Antonio, McAllen, Brownsville, Harlingen & El Paso in Texas and Reynosa, Matamoros, Valle Hermoso & Ciudad Juarez in Mexico all now have native coverage of A&M football in Spanish. If you ask me, that's huge. The U.S. Hispanic population is constantly assimilating to the American way of life; sports included. Its an untapped market that is going to continue to grow both in population and spending power. Ignoring and leaving that population for TCU and Texas to take all for themselves would be dumb of us.

Then you also have Mexico which is building a strong appetite for American sports such as American Football and Baseball. In towns such as Nuevo Laredo, Monterrey and Tijuana, one can argue that soccer is no longer the most popular sport. Overall, nice move by the administration to also include radio stations with adequate coverage on both sides of the border.

If you don't like, vete a la verga culero. It will always be a brave new world and you either adapt or die.

Pretty much this.

I appreciate the opportunity to listen to Aggie football in the mother tongue. It's easier for me to decipher Spanish than it is to decipher Dave South.

You know what? That's true for me too

Plus, announcers in other languages get so much more hyped during their broadcasts
