re: Post something about our program that you would never admit on tRant

TCU did that, and it hasn't worked out

Meh, we are going to expand the stadium and sell the tickets. No doubt about that. Still should have focused more on having the most premium seating in all of football

I disagree, I like that we haven't gone all premium. It keeps a blue collar aspect to our fanbase, and allows middle and lower class families to raise their kids as Aggies. A big stadium means cheap seats in down years, which is how we get non-former students hooked on the experience. Texans love live football when you don't Jerry Jones them to death to get it.

Except we could be making more, I mean a lot more

Meh let that be tu's game. I would rather have a healthy fanbase and young Aggies who can attend as kids.

The issue with 95k is that we go to 95k and we NEVER break 100k. Stadium expansion is over, that era is done. The sport might make more money going forward, but it will trade seat money for tv money.

At 100k we sit on the top for a LONG time. Maybe decades in the state if Patterson continues to burn all the bridges that would pay for a DKR expansion. Aggies love having pride about things outside of football, and I think having the biggest stadium in Texas for decades will make sure we are always focused on the stadium experience and not playing in China or some shite.

Another thing is playing on thanksgiving is fricking stupid. We need to play that Friday after

I like Thanksgiving now, but I hated it when it came back.

That does remind me of something I won't admit on the Rant: I fricking love that our Thanksgiving game keeps getting better ratings than tu's. Its petty, it means nothing, and it might be more LSU's doing than ours. But still to steal from them "their tradition, not A&M's" when they were such shits about it during realignment is awesome.
