How miserable of a place is College Station?

I've never been to College Station, but what would make someone want to leave for Baton Rouge? I've been to Baton Rouge and it's a shite hole. Plus the AD's job at College Station was on cruise control. He had Jimbo and Buzz in their two biggest sports. Now he's at LSU with a head football coach that probably won't ever beat Saban or win the SEC West title. Plus a college basketball coach whose job is in limbo pending the FBI / NCAA. That's a lot of stress for someone to take on. At A&M you don't have to worry about winning championships. Just finish in the middle of the pack and you're good. Plus they have an endless supply of cash.
Does living in College Station really suck that bad?

It can't be that bad, can it? I bet there are some fun things to looks at and a place to shower.

It’s in the middle of nowhere on completely flat ground.

Here’s a gem from Aggy 247. Nice to see a dose of a reality.
quote:
Texas A&M has been and alway will be a second tier university in perception. Unless they are home grown, then A&M is not a destination but a stopover. Compare College Station to any other top tier university city. It is lacking. There is a reason they say Hwy 6 goes both ways because I wanted out as soon as possible Now, I am proud to be a former student but no matter how much A&M throws money around, the perception is it is a hick school by the outside, Just look to Austin, Norman which is basically a suburb of OKC, and even Columbus, OH as great locations. A&M is hindered by geography, a sub-standard airport and it is just a boring town. This is a realism we all ignore. This is why A&M is just a stop-over.

Detroit is currently nicer than Baton Rouge. That is not hyperbole.

It's not miserable, it's just bland and boring.
Think of a mediocre builder grade new construction home, cookie cutter, unobjectionable but without any charm whatsoever. That's College Station.
Whether that's less attractive than BR is another matter, though.

Someone from Birmingham calling Baton Rouge a shithole.

Baton Rouge, the largest city in Louisiana - has more public and municipal parks, museums, art galleries, golf courses, gated communities, theatres, fine dining establishments, convention centers and community events/fairs/celebrations, and entertainments venues than you can shake a red stick at.

You must have spent all your time 4 blocks north of campus?

FWIW, JFF did all his partying in Austin.

Think about working for people who have the mindset of "t.u. t.u. t.u., herp derp," "We Rule This State!," "SEC SEC we're now better than you," in other words, a massive inferiority complex that colors every decision they make.
Think about working for some prick with the mindset of the Army Lobotomy guy, or Daniel the Racist.
Any questions?

To answer your original question the answer is Woodward has a good amount of family in Baton Rouge. Specifically elderly parents that don't have so many years left on this world. My bet is that was one of the larger factors in his decision to leave CS for BR.
That being said, unless you're on campus there isn't too much going on the Bryan/College-Station area outside of the college and bar scene. A ton of residence without too much industry or major business as the majority of the population is going to school.
Hope that helps.

It's been a while so I assume things there have improved, but back in the Harvey Williams' days...he was from that area... the DQ was a hot spot to go to. Just saying.
