Looked like it was under renovation in October.

Please don't tell me they're getting rid of that fire ant infested course. The burnt bermuda fairways on that thing had tremendous roll!

That sounds more like it, the course was pretty rough last time I played.

Yeah, they're constructing an entirely new course. The sign I just passed said they'll finish this fall.

Yeah thats what I heard, someone was talking about it in the clubhouse the other day and I didn't think that sounded right. Glad I was wrong.

It's more of a bar than anything. I never get anything to eat.

Stupid indeed. It's just another firm of affirmative action that gets less qualified people into spots that should be for somone else.

I think aTm is the sleeping giant waking up to terrorize any slackers in the SEC.

They have all the ingredients to win BIG.

As an Alabama fan I welcome the competition. It's gonna be fun.

I especially think LSU better watch out.

On the contrary, I actually like TAMU a lot and enjoyed College Station very much. If you'd cut out the "we have to be the biggest, coolest, and most unique" shtick out, it would be appreciated.


We have little penises, dude. What do you expect. We're compensating for the lack of trou. Why do you think we fill all those jizz jars?

Were people really arguing about Marine Biology on this thread? Good luck finding a job with a degree in that... I don't care how good the school is.

And the 10% rule is a travesty. I know a lot of really smart kids who had to go elsewhere because of it.

This isn't an exaggeration. The A&M campus is gigantic. This isn't even including the Riverside campus where we have a nuclear power plant (one of the only on campus nuclear reactors in the world).

The West campus could easily be expanded to increase the university by another 50,000 students if we wanted. The other thing that separate A&M from many other universities is that A&M owns all of the land and is not leasing it. With the PUF money, we can build more or less indefinitely.


And Bryan donated land to us to for the med school.
