LSU and Alabama were really a like to me. My friends at Bama loved LSU and I loved Alabama.
Not in architecture but the way people carry themselves/paty.

TAMU & AU both have on campus barns and lots of 1960s cement minimalist Soviet Block buildings

So the history is different, but they're all still land-grant ag schools.

You forgot land grant schools: University of Georgia, University of Florida, LSU, Arkansas, Mizzou...
Most similar to TAMU...hmmm, it'd have to be a land, sea, and space grant university with an endowment that could purchase the entirety of SEC schools. Can't think of one.

We almost renovated Kyle into a giant barn FWIW

That's the best that I could do. Texas A&M and Vanderbilt are the outliers that don't apply.
LSU - Florida
Georgia - Ole Miss
Tennessee - Kentucky
Mississippi State - Auburn
Alabama - South Carolina
Arkansas - Missouri

Georgia - Ole Miss
Tennessee - Kentucky

Louisiana's forward thinking legislature said "This is some dumb shite. Let's put our agricultural and mechanical school at our flagship university." and three years later merged the new college with LSU ...If State and Ole Miss would have been combined like the legislatures of Louisiana
Not quite, they moved the A&M college from the University of Louisiana to Louisiana State University, and then basically sold the University of Louisiana to Paul Tulane.
Tulane still has The University of Louisiana as part of it's official name:
Located in New Orleans, Tulane traces its origins to the Medical College of Louisiana, the Deep South’s second-oldest medical school, which was founded in 1834. By 1847, the Medical College was part of the newly established public institution, the University of Louisiana.
Tulane emerged as a private university in 1884 when the public University of Louisiana was reorganized and named in honor of benefactor Paul Tulane, a wealthy merchant who donated more than $1 million in land, cash and securities “for the promotion and encouragement of intellectual, moral and industrial education.”
For Mississippi to have done something similar, they would have simply sold Ole Miss (University of Mississippi) to a private interest.

Maybe then the Ole Miss student body would be as wealthy as it pretends to be

The right answer for Vandy is Tulane from 1933-1965...

Arkansas is land grant, but the founders minimized the ag portion at the start, (maybe due to the university being in the least agricultural area of the state, with the poorest soils).
It later grew some, but only after the liberal arts and law school side were far more well-established. It was never military-like and has been co-ed forever as far as I know.
There is a farm, but its a mile north of campus separated by part of the city.
I don't know enough about Mizzou to know if that comparison is correct. I know we aren't as ag/military/farmy as A&M, LSU, AU or State. We have a big system with those programs spread out over other campuses.

Those houses do add a lot to those universities. I believe Tennessee outlaws Greek houses where students actually live. AU does not have sorority houses (is this still true).
Posted on 5/28/14 at 10:30 am to StopRobot
Sorority dorms.
Posted on 5/28/14 at 10:31 am to StopRobot
Still true and never will...they just built all new dorms two years ago.

None of you motherless dirtballs are similar to us in any way.

That's so weird. Arkansas has some of the biggest greek houses in the country.

LSU is pretty similar to Texas A&M in history. Education wise, Vanderbilt is the only school that compares.

Oh yeah. TAMU is the 69th ranked US college. Vandy is 17th. They're like education twins!
