I've been. It's a fun weekend trip, but I can't imagine living there for 4 years as a student. The bars were nice, yes, but I was in shock there were so few for a 50k student body. It was quaint, and the two fanbases were getting along well from what I saw.

I'll definitely be back.

I can drink beer anywhere.

We have an AppleBee's down the street from here.

We have lots of BBQ choices in the south.

4. Old town charm- Downtown Bryan

How is that supposed to entertain me?

5. Local winery

Cool if you're into that.

6. Nearby lakes/fishing/great dove hunting

Who doesn't have this?

I am thinking of going to the game there this year, but I am afraid some of you will spit on me.

I want you to know I will spit back bitches. Oh and running into TBird and having him do a country dance force me to the midnight shindig.

Actually I kind of want to attend that and see it at least one time.

Many times and have stayed in hotels for weeks at a time.

You have a lot of choices and chains, very true.

Pretty boring and lame actually.

Old town charm


Guess i went to the wrong parts. College Station is pretty cookie cutter and bland. The parts of Bryan i saw were not very nice at all.

Nearby lakes/fishing/great dove hunting


That's true.

Well hopefully they put a lot of work into it because it use to look like trash.

Yes, did not like that much. That is why I picked the University of Arkansas.

I've been there like eleventy times.

Admittedly I am not aware of most of the highlights, I've been to the chicken, seen your dilapidated former Waffle House. I like Texas BBQ, but then I'm a real American. I can like different kinds of BBQ without my brain falling out of my anus. It doesn't hurt that Arkansas is a BBQ crossroads I guess.


The strangest thing to me about CSTAT is how flat it is, and grackle-heaven.

I like oak trees, and y'all have a lot of those. I kind of like Brutalism when it is well done. Some of yours is, some of it isn't.

Aggies in general are pretty decent folks in my experience, with nothing to prove. I've been to your Wings & More, and the original Freebirds and had the MOAB.

Its really not all that bad.

No. Don't plan to.

Somehow I envision it as Beaumont with a school in the place of refineries.

Nope.

I grew up in Bryan. I live in Little Rock now. I loved living in Bryan, and I love living in Little Rock. But Texas as a whole is light years ahead of Arkansas. Not even close.

Any a-hole can make pork. Pork is good, but it pales in comparison to beef done right.
