Will there be more A&M or Bama graduates in the stands on Saturday? I tend to think A&M. Bama fans, I would ask for your take, but I know most of y'all didn't go to college or enjoyed your time at community college.

Aggie graduates will easily outnumber Bama graduates

More Bama fans than A&M fans.

More A&M graduates than Bama graduates.

Damn it, you cracked the code. We don't actually have any graduates. Just a football team and a campus with a bunch of old buildings that are empty in the inside.

I knew we shouldn't have let you assholes into our conference.

we must be pretty awesome if our sidewalk fans have means that afford attending games like they do.

Clearly y'all have graduates, but I doubt they make up a very large % of the BDS crowd. Most people that I know who graduated from Bama don't want to mingle with the average Bama fan.

Oh, this was like a semi-serious thread.

Makes sense. The thousands of Alabama graduates I know like to use their season tickets to football games, especially SEC games. You probably have a better grasp of the mood, though, as a Texas A&M fan living 800+ miles away.

that's Dominance off the field as well as on. Even our non alumni are better than their alumni.

You're stupid. The bottom bowl of Bryant Denny, and I can tell you being a season ticket holder, is STRICTLY Former players, current students, general alumni who donate a bunch and family of current players. 60K fill the bottom bowl.

If you did not graduate from Bama or don't work there as a professor, are not a current student, you have ZERO, ZERO chance of getting lower bowl tix. ZERO.

Your alums will be outnumbered 6 to 1.
There may not be another school in the SEC where this is the case.....including yours.

So the underlying narrative is that A&M isn't able to get fans who didn't go to A&M and Bama can?

I'm just glad we are adding all the fancy stuff to the stadium so alums like myself will be comfortable actually going to games.

I'm really looking forward to the caged sections they are planning for the unwashed. Those folks deserve a shot to go to games, but clearly we shouldn't have to be forced to mingle with them.

This would be an interesting case study because it is probably fairly close across the board in College Football.

I can't believe I was goaded into defending slimy redneck fans who treat our program like a NFL team
