The track facility and lack of suitable indoor track facility is the reason Henry left LSU

Bertman and Girouard got their stadiums first

We had the Henry..but ya'll had the money..and desire.

It's too bad that Stanley Bertman's ego wanted to gift ATM so many natty titles.

ATM T&F..and arguably Alabama Football..both owe LSU's former AD a debt of gratitude..over his attitude.

Really don't like our indoor T&F and football practice facilities. Have no idea why we built those ugly canvas things. What is weird is brick and mortar structures aren't much more expensive.

You sound like a pig that just realized A&M will be taking Arky's NCAA T&F hosting away for the foreseeable future.

My guess is they were built as the last vestiges of our athletic department not giving as much of a frick about presentation of facilities as they should.

What's with the tacky Equestrian dressing room floor tiles? To hide horse sh!t stains from boots?

Previous regime. If they built them today it would be much better. Thems the breaks. Still fairly nice.

I actually would assume so. You walk in there with your shite kicked on, you don't want that one a light floor. And I'm mainly talking about dirt.

Neat! All those cool things and you are still universally known as the second rate athletic department in your own state.



Prior to the SEC move we weren't even universally known. So we are moving up in the world.

A&M's new facility explosion really just shows how terrible the facilities were before. You're new to the arms race whereas the SEC schools have been duking it out for over a decade.

Congrats on finally catching up?

Plus, isn't their town kind of a dump? They couldn't do anything until they joined our conference, and suddenly they wanna crown themselves in every category imaginable as if it's a pissing contest
