We've just been informed that the ankle tracking bracelets issued by the Louisiana Department of Corrections will still work after the renovations are completed.

The LSU starting backfield has nothing to be concerned about.

edit: we're not 100% sure about the ones issued by the Georgia DOC. Tell Mett to sit tight for the moment...

We won't sell out every game, especially not the out of conference games vs the small schools. We don't do that now.

I don't see how they wouldn't fill it since they let 40,000 students in the game.

Seriously, as of now Ole Miss has to bring more non student fans to fill our stadium than A&M does. I would think you could fill it easily unless your fanbase is way smaller than I'm assuming.

that couldnt possibly be due to the fanbases initial excitement with joining the SEC could it?

no no no.

FCS games need to come off the schedule and smaller conference teams will need to either need to be vs large nearby state schools like UTSA and Texas State or against old SWC foes like Houston and SMU.

Otherwise if we are having a 7-8 win type season and playing a Lamar or Idaho there will be tons of empty seats.

Texas A&M is set to announce plans for its major renovations of Kyle Field over the next few years.


So this is not a offical announcement. Just rumors and speculation.

The 2013 season will be played before major work on the stadium itself is done, according to the sources


If this does become offical then the earliest start time would be at the beginning of 2014 meaning yall would be finished by the year 2020.

Maybe by 2020 A&M's tail would have came out from between it's legs and Texas A&M will be back in the Big 12 where it belongs. With their new stadium A&M will be ready to stand up to big brother rather than run away.

When construction is all said and done, Kyle's capacity would be at an estimated 103,000, sources say. Currently, the Southeastern Conference's largest stadium is Neyland Stadium at the University of Tennessee, which holds 102,455. Only the University of Michigan (109,901) and Penn State University (106,572) have stadiums that hold more.



Their sources is from a guy on Texags I wouldn't hold that number in high esteem.

This just won't do. We can't fall out of the top 5. Someone needs to call the REC. It's time to expand Bryant-Denny! Hopefully we can connect the upper deck.

I've seen a lot of shitty attempts at flames on the Rant but this one is pretty pathetic.

Congrats!

If Fran never came around Kyle would already be at 115k. But hey you're kinda correct it just started before you thought it did.
