Kind of cracks me up how many Ags don't realize that Prime just likes to mess with us and knows our pain points. He's a Hog for sure but he doesn't hate A&M, he just enjoys trolling and I can't blame him. I'd probably do the same if I was in grad school somewhere in the SEC.
More importantly, College Station was overtaken with the chicken finger obsession about 10 years ago and chicken wings about 15 years before that so it seems to be a law now that all places that have fried chicken must sell wings or fingers. There used to be a few pretty solid places for traditional fried chicken but I can't think of one now. Of course I love Laynes Chicken Fingers and Wings and More so it isn't a big issue for me. The best fried chicken in the fine State of Texas is in Roanoke just North of Fort Worth at a place called "Babes". They serve family style and it's worth a long road trip. Overall though Texas will always be a Tex Mex/BBQ state first and foremost with some good seafood near the coast (often with a cajun flair).

Thanks for speaking the truth. You are dead on. I actually haven't had this much trolling fun in awhile. Now, just to reiterate. I really like the education I am getting here. This was my dream grad school gig and I am lucky. I love the Hogs (who doesn't?) but A&M is a better educational institution. Arkansas is making moves but clearly has a good ways to go in many departments. If my degrees pay off I will be a donor to both schools as both have given me much. I am really excited about Kyle upgrades and love having A&M at home in the SEC. I was for it before I came here and still am, even if it really ends up hurting Arkansas like so many hope it does. Arkansas will be fine, so will A&M. Many good people support each team, and I have some fine friends in both states.
Now, for the real stuff, chicken is important to me. So is Memphis style BBQ. Both are in short supply around here and cause me to get angry. I was well on the way to being a good southerner and developing type 2 diabetes, but moving here has slowed me down. I really just need my chicken and I wouldn't bitch so much.
