Total FBS: 69

FCS: around a dozen teams.

Have gone back and forth between all home A&M games or 2-3 a year since I was 2 (1989). Here is what I remember

Everybody in the SEC sans Georgia (crazy they still haven’t come to Kyle) and Kentucky (had a wedding my wife made me go to their 1 time). So 14 including A&M

Everybody in the old big 12 (8 more sans the SEc teams)

Everybody in the old SWC (Houston/Rice/SMU/TCU not already included in top two conferences, so 4 more)

Miami, Clemson, Pitt (ugh Larry Fitzgerald), Florida St, Virginia Tech, Penn State, UCLA, BYU, Utah, so 9 more Power 4 not included above

Army, FAU, UNT, UAB, New Mexico St, Sam Houston, Ball St, New Mexico, UTEP, Wyoming, Fresno St, Texas St, Utah St, Arkansas St, Louisiana (ULaLa), ULM, LaTech, Southern Miss of the G6, so 18 more

Citadel, Idaho, Lamar, McNeese, Montana, Nicholls, Prairie View, and SFA from FCS, so 8 more.


Think that’s 61 if my Aggie math is mathing

I think that adds up to 61 FBS and 9 FCS. So 70 total. Of these, all were in Columbia, MO except for the following...
- The two bowl games listed above
- LSU vs. Fla in Gainesville, 1992 I think (I have not seen LSU in CoMo)
- One Mizzou - A&M game at Kyle Field (have also seen A&M in CoMo)
- Mizzou vs. Houston was at the Astrodome
- Mizzou vs. Illinois in St. Louis (have also seen IL in CoMo)
- Mizzou vs. Memphis in St. Louis (have also seen Memphis in CoMo)


I've also been to a few DIII and NAIA games - those games were at Culver-Stockton College (Canton MO), Quincy (IL) University, and Truman State (was Northeast Missouri State at the time). I'm not listing those as no major college teams were playing.

Was a little surprised looking back that I have not seen Texas play, but we only played 3 times when in the Big12 together - I was unable to go to either of the 2 games they played in COMO.
