I used the Google machine.

Regardless, multiple large cities w/in 3 hrs of College Station.
I hate myself for responding to/contributing to this troll thread.

Like parkjas said, Atlanta is significantly bigger than 400,000.

Well, I'm unable to regurgitate population numbers by rote; so I had to use a search engine.

I wasn't disparaging anyone/Atlanta/any city; I was just answering the question by providing numbers.

Here's a better breakdown.

Behind Dallas and Houston but significantly bigger than San Antonio.

Cool--thanks.
I was listing cities (which is what CavalryAg stated); not metro areas (in which case, you'd have to call Austin "Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos); but absolutely, Atlanta is a large city (as stated in the OP).

OP makes a good point. No National titles post WWII.

Historically, we have underachieved.
Few will argue that.
Congrats to the OP.

They teach things like the difference between cities and metropolitan areas in middle school down here. I guess they don't up in your area?

I think the fans of stale programs are rustled at our quick rise and upward trajectory
