I don't support the lifestyle of some people in Mississippi. I do support the Corps and don't really care what lifestyles the yell leaders have.

You're right about them being relevant. I edited my post to which you were responding just as you posted this one.

I don't have the data to prove it right now, but I'm nearly certain that is is false that we were always in the top half of resources in the SWC. That would be hard information to find.

We will be in the top half of the SEC in terms of expenditures within the next 6 years.

And, for the record, there were 7 schools in the SWC at the time, so you'd have to be top 3 to be top half.

The SEC over time. For clarification, I am not saying all will be as big, but all are, have been, or will be expanding at some point. Some are already maxed out without serious new construction. The point is that like the rest of these arguments, nothing is unique about A&M.

Nope. Just meaning to say that I don't know every yell leader, so I cannot say if I support everyone of them.

Gotcha.
I wonder how big places can get before people will not pay decent money for the worst tickets?

No, but we are expanding with actual plans and stuff, not having debates about the affects of said expansion on the local Chicken strips joint. I never said all were going to 100,000. Just pointing out your fallacy arguing you are the only ones on the move.

The thing is, we didn't have a generation born in that quarter century that lasted 29 years between 1971-1990 so our expansion won't mean as much, especially since it is an addition of around 10,000 premium seats.

Good question. I read somewhere there is a 20,000 person waitlist for BDS, so I am betting people would pay decent for not so great seats if they were to go full retard on that joint.

Of those 7 schools, we ranked in the top half in enrollment outside of the 40s because there was a war going on. Even then in the 50s at some point we had a bunch of resources so we could afford to hire away some coach that just won the SEC and a National Championship at Kentucky. Maybe you've heard of him.

What do you have against 115,000 seat stadiums? If they can sell that many tickets, how is it "going full retard" to build a stadium to accommodate the demand?

Oh nothing. I just mean that's what BDS will be if they do it. I mean it is going to be hard to pile new seats on top of this without going full retard.



I for one really like the joint and have enjoyed seeing it bigger every few years when I visit.

Boo Boo wasn't lanky. He was kind of fat guy. I don't know why a skinny lanky white guy comes up when you google his name.
Here is a pic of Boo Boo at the Chicken:

No I googled him and found out, glad he was able to get on the Yell Leader squad. I was just kidding about the other guy. I just see him all the time in Yell Leader pics/vids.

I know this is wrong and I'm only joking but I figured out why TAMU has the 12th man.

If there's only eleven, you could only have five couples and one man would be left out.
