Porker Face in Aggieland: A Fun Trip in Review (and maybe some crow eating)

Pictures below for tl;dr crowd.

So, the Fighting Texas Aggies beat my Arkansas Razorbacks this weekend. That's ok, the sun shines on a dog's arse every once and awhile. I still had a fun trip to Aggieworld, however I would like to inform the rant of a few things.

1. College Station is not what Aggy makes it out to be. They claim BCS is a diamond in the rough. It mostly consists of chain restaurants and crap hotels and is almost indistinguishable from any other Texas city. (inb4 sour grapes, inb4 58-10)

2. If you are into fine cuisine, eat before coming to CS. If you want a hamburger though, this is your town. The food is pedestrian at best, especially on Northgate, which brings me to my next point

3. Northgate sucks. Very underwhelming. It is basically 4 blocks total. For comparison, Dickson is twice as big with considerably more variety. NG made Dickson look like Bourbon.

4. We saw two hot girls on the whole trip. They both joined in calling the hogs and told us they were Arkansas students. The rumors are true, don't let Aggy tell you differently

5. Aggy said midnight yell would be hostile. We called the hogs, sang various university songs, etc and didn't even get a dirty look. If you are looking to harass some people, go to midnight yell. They just lay there and take verbal abuse

6. Frat attire is nonexistent at aTm. They think a maroon t-shirt is high class

7. They do have a good parking situation, probably better than most. If you happen to like NG, it is a pretty easy walk to the stadium

8. Getting to aTm is not the easiest thing in the world. There are some rough Farm to Market roads out that way

9. Aggy is very friendly, possibly to a fault. Easily the least intimidating venue I have ever been to. I'm not saying be nasty but they were annoying with the "howdy this" and "howdy that". It seemed very forced anyway

10. They think the conference welcomes them with open arms. They also pine for our approval

11. Their tailgating sucks. Two hours before the game the place was barren. Aggy's excuse "it's raining". Pretty sure the rest of the conference still shows up when its raining.

12. Their stadium smells like batshit, is covered in batshit, and their fans are batshit crazy. Kyle needs to be blown up under controlled conditions when nobody is inside it.

13. Their yell leaders/corps of cadets are worse than you think. Granted, most of the people we talked to said that they hated them too, but still. Good lord

14. We lost, we suck. So what, 42-25. We may lose out

Overall, their fans/gameday are not even close to SEC ready. They beat our arse on the field and I will eat crow in this thread but I have never been so underwhelmed with a city as I was with College Station. Let the flaming begin, and go hogs.
