If a dump is having the nicest student housing, rooftop pools, wakeboard parks and 30 bars then sure

A&M's new facility explosion really just shows how terrible the facilities were before. You're new to the arms race whereas the SEC schools have been duking it out for over a decade.

While this troll is partially true it is not a matter of catching up. It is about building the best. We set the bar for football stadiums, football locker rooms, for the technology in football work out facilities and equestrian and we're about to do it again for track and softball. Quick, name another university that can claim best facilities in 4 different sports.

So, y'all are on old tires, while we just got out the pits with 4 fresh ones and fuel to boot

My point being this: your facilities were shite before. Like, bad. Your laundry list of facilities that needed to be totally redone or built from scratch is longer than the top tier SEC schools. Sure, you're building great facilities, but having the "best" is fleeting and definitely won't last in this league.

Tons of jelly corndogs in here, as well as poors from other schools. Well played.

You're absolutely kidding yourself if you think LSU fans are jealous of A&M at anything. You Aggys and your overblown sense of relevance.

Umm that's a big no on T&F if that rendering is accurate.

I was amazed that we could spend $80,000,000 on an equestrian facility until I realized it housed BOTH the equestrian team and a reproduction pavilion for the theriogenology team. Reproduction teams don't cum cheap.

That softball stadium would be in the top 25 of baseball stadiums easily.

That might just be true. How many softball stadiums have suites now?

I think it's pretty cool how the exterior of A&Ms sports venues will have a uniform look

So the Aggies are going all T. Boone Pickens now. Hide the mediocrity with nice facilities.



Or, we could just do like Ole Miss and NOT hide it by keeping all the old, shitty facilities.

Still waiting on this to translate into athletic success. Ironically, y'all were closest to a national championship in football in Sumlin's first year. His regime is a dumpster fire.

I didn't realize until a couple of weeks ago that Olson and Kyle had similar exteriors pre renovations before they were matches again
