I do like optimistic people, though. So for that.

But I used data I looked up on the Internet to show marginal differences in performance. How does that not equate to dominance?

FYI... Jeff Long (who I really like BTW) said today that the game would be on campus in '12 and '13 and would return to Jerryworld for a bit to finish out the bare min contract of 6 years before returning to campus.

He was speaking with that bump on a log, no personality shitstain Bo Mattingly.

That makes sense because I highly doubt Bobby wants to play Bama, Rutgers and at Little Rock all on the road for 3 straight weeks in 2013.

What I'm saying is all these positives you are talking about for Texas A&M the same is going for Arkansas while we continue to improve on a dominate record against TAMU.


I don't know about that. A&M will always be bigger. It will always have more alumni. It will always be located in the fertile recruiting plains of Southeast Texas.

quote:

You can actually access Fayetteville by multiple 4 lane highways and a good mid-sized airport. We have 24,000 students and it's increasing. Your fellow Aggie wants to talk about TAMU growing in the past 35 years. It's nothing compared to the growth percentage of Arkansas in the past 10 years alone.


I don't know the enrollment 35 years ago, but A&M had 14,000 students in 1970. We've currently got 47,000 undergrads, so in 42 years, the school more than tripled in size. I think in 2001, you had 12,000 undergrads, and now you boast 18,000. So that's 150%.

All of this is ridiculous anyway. Hell, I bet the DFW metroplex is home to twice the number of people that live in all of Arkansas, so of course A&M is and will always be a bigger school. It just wasn't until 1970.

Glad to be here. You have no idea how shitty the Big 12 was. Far worse than the SWC you left behind. Trust me.

Our enrollment is over 22,000 now. Not huge but still makes your # 183% instead of 150%.

Yes, other than that all the positives for Arkansas are just as good or better. Arkansas' athletic program pulls in more revenue and will even more with 7,000 new seats and more skyboxes going in than TAMU. We are currently have the 2nd most with only 76,000 seats and will likely surpase Bama in Skyboxes making us #1 in that category which translates to $$$. The SEC however will make everyone better including TAMU and Mizzou.

Fayetteville isn't the 1979 Fayetteville. This isn't even the same school I went to in the early 2000's. You'll see when you travel to Fayetteville in the future.

Enrollment was 14,000 in 1975 at Arkansas while only 17,000 in 2004. It's now 23,153 in 2011.

Enrollment only matters for donations and portion of fan base merchandise. Otherwise it's not in the conversation of winning football games but your fellow Aggie likes to utilize this pointless statistic.

Not to nit pick but since it was a record..

23,153.

I'm not sure why I had 24,000 in my head. However, the points are valid.

My fault. I was looking at a figure for undergrads.

I am also looking forward to reaping the rewards of membership in the SEC, namely, a new stadium and part of that fat arse CBS/ESPN contract that y'all so loving share as equals.

Consider that Baylor is about 90 miles from College Station. In their best season in 25 years, and with a Heisman QB, they managed to get about 500 Baylor fans to CS.

Lucky pigs! You get to leave the park and visit Aggieland. Nothing like a stadium full of shirtless bitchtitted hogs screamin and carying on. Stay off my grass and you will be fine.

Arkansas was a "strong loss" for you guys for three years. Why are you worried about SOS when you don't even win the game?

Sounds like Peterino doesn't think his team can beat A&M in College Station.

Regardless, leave it to Petrino to confuse something as simple as being a "bunch of pussies" with "cancelling a series".

Makes about as much sense as Texas calling A&M "scared of playing the Longhorns" when A&M is the very team offering to continue the game.

You can't cure that kind of stupid.
