Hey Ags, quick question for y'all

I have a friend who is on a production team for SEC nation, and will be there this weekend to shoot iconic football landmarks and other things around campus. I figured y'all would be way more helpful than me, because I don't know a whole lot about College Station outside of the tennis courts, a couple of the golf courses, the 12th man, Reveille's grave, James Earl Rudder's statue, the bonfire memorial, and the Dixie Chicken.
What would y'all recommend them trying to film? Thanks for the help guys

--The Quad (Corps living area--although I believe portions of it are being renovated)
--Sanders Corps of Cadets Center (across from the Quad)
--George Bush Library
--Military Walk
--Memorial Student Center (across from Kyle Field--especially the Medals of Honor in the back of the facility)
--John David Crowe statue by Kyle Field
--Pinky Downs statue by the Corps center
--Sul Ross Statue (usually adorned with pennies/other tokens for good luck) in front of the academic building
Also a very cool shot is either looking at the administration building when all the flags are up or looking away from it down the street towards the Texas Avenue intersection

The bigger ones seem to have been mentioned already.
Maybe the Aggie barn, never been but it's pretty cool. LINK

Also recommend the giant Aggie ring in front of the Alumni Center (off George Bush Dr.) and the Century tree (caddycorner to the Sul Ross statue).
I proposed to my wife at that ring

The seal in the floor of the academic building looking down from above. The bonfire memorial. The administration building. Northgate e king gill statue not the giant new one that looks like et in my opinion but the one they moved over by rudder fountain.

Y'all are the freaking best.
I'll buy y'all plenty of beer when I come to College Station in 2024 (and yes, I'm pissed we don't play there for another 9 years).

The roughneck statue outside the Petroleum Engineering Building is cool.

That's what the Century Oak is for.

Aggiebelle explicitly asked for me not to do the Century Tree or any other tree
The ring worked better anyways to catch her by surprise.

TBird..I went thru my email and I didn't get AggieBelle's email. Can you ask her to resend it pretty please?
Posted on 10/14/15 at 9:58 pm to Carolina_Girl
I think she copied me on it--I'll forward it to ya.

The first floor of Schuhmacher Hall was once home to noted message board poster PowerTool. Sadly, the dorm was desecrated by a remodeling in recent years, so the historic semen & tobacco splatter stains have likely been lost time.

I'll be there for the first time in several decades for the Halloween game, and the first place I'm taking the wife is to the bonfire memorial. I expect a lot of tears, but it's something that has to be done.
The best views in my opinion have already been mentioned: Sully statue in front of the Academic building, and looking towards the Administration building Saturday when all the flags are out.
