1. want to see a big campus? Come on down to aggieland.. Not sure anything in the SEC is close to the same size.
2. there are far more than 94k in Bryan/CollegeStation, and BCS is 2 cities without a real division.
Population Ranked 192nd in the U.S.
- Total 228,660
- Density 1,597.5/sq. mi.
616.3/km²
Area 83.6 sq. mi.
216.7 km²

I've been to TAMU and it is a large campus much like Texas. I'm looking at WN flights tonight for our game this year.
They are just quoting the town itself because there are 450,000 people in NWA.

Oh I know A&M is huge. I don't necessarily think that's a good thing for a college campus. Arkansas' campus is filling in and building upwards, building parking garages, etc. The town is doing the same thing in the vicinity of campus. Its becoming very walkable and urban in that sense, which is a good thing, IMO. There are 2000 new condo-type units going up within 2 blocks of campus in the next 18 months.

Only going to help the bar scene on Dickson street.
473k is onward and upward.

I'll agree with that.. A&M is like a huge city of business buildings. It is not as pretty as some of the other colleges I've visited. I remember having to plan my schedule to be sure I could make it from one side of campus to the other for classes in the early 00's. It could take 30 minutes to take the bus across the place.
Bike was the only way to go from the front of campus to west campus.
Still, the level of education is second to none. I wouldn't trade it for the world. It is good to know that the other SEC schools are expanding.

Don't forget about the new student apartments. I'm super jelly. There's another one very similar to this one but I forget what it's called. This one is by Baum, the other is up on top of the hill I believe. Kids are so spoiled these days.

Yes, Arkansas is at minimum a Top 15 job, and realistically a top 8 job in college
No. Just no. Good god. Never has a fanbase thought so highly of themselves , when in fact ,no one sees you as top notch. One top ten finish and you think you are a top 8 job? Finishing tied for 2nd and then 3rd in the west and you think you are a top 8 job? God forbid if you actually won the SEC. Oh yeah, the coach you thought was sooooooo great, is gone.

So just how many of those schools were such valued and desired jobs that NFL head coaches left their franchises mid season and substantially higher paying jobs, taking massive pay cuts to coach there? Oh and not once but twice?
All this means ,is that said coach is a slimy Prick.

man you guys are easy.
I do think we are a top 15 job. just happens that we are in the save division as a les miles LSU and nick saban alabama coached teams right now. Other than that we have the facilities and fan support to win 8-9 games every year with a 10-11 win season every 5 or so years. Arkansas has produced some great skill players and we get just enough players from Texas and the surrounding states to be good...but our depth will never be as good as most of the other teams. We won't hire a coach as good as petrino, but he wont be as bad as nutt either.

The AR15 is a piece of shite. FN-FAL is a much better room clearer. No wonder you are an LSU fan, you're stupid, and probably poor...

I've read this from you towards other fan bases so much, I expect it now.

Why is Arky always posting their hypothetical facilities?
What is the point?

well, it isn't "Arky" per se....its a select few posters.

Sorry.
Why do certain Arky posters regularly post their hypothetical facilities?
