So is this about bringing in more money? Or is it about recruiting.

Everyone knows we don't give a shite about recruiting so we want to keep it in Dallas.

Arkansas had a hell of a time selling tickets at Jerrywold as well. Your third deck was empty between the 20s and your 2nd deck was spotty.

We have great tailgates too, but I'd rather have them at Kyle. I could give a frick about helping out the Metroplex. Nothing pussy about it. It's purely $$ driven and convenience driven for most.


Lol completely pussy. Neutral site games are apart of college football, and every Aggie says it is a "terrible atmosphere". Wasn't the Iron Bowl at a neutral site, and then realized they would make more money at home?

Are Florida and Georgia helping out random cities?

And what is convienent about Aggies driving to Dallas, when so many are in Houston?




Obviously this is going way over your head. Lemme try again.

Dallas game = good for SEC.
Dallas game = good for Aggies in Dallas.

When Arkansas has outfilled a stadium in the state of TEXAS more than us, I would like to think that the Aggies are the ones being pussies. I'm sorry if you're one of them.

I've been to all 3 games... it makes more sense to have it at Kyle, especially considering the donation levels going up quite a bit.

Its not pussy, its a matter of opinion. Are you a season ticket holder telefax? Or are you a Dallas Aggie that makes one or two games a year. This might help explain your position.

And no, Arky didn't fill up their 3rd deck... you can't even see the majority of it in that picture.

And if they moved it to Reliant, I'd say hell fricking no too, despite the fact I live in Houston. Neutral game sites suck to me. Its an opinion of mine I've held for a long time regarding Aggie Football.

Only neutral site games worth a shite are the ones that have been played for decades. Texas/OU and UGA/Florida.


Politely go back to sucking dick dumbass.

I've been to all three games. First one as a student, second two living out of random frac vans all over.

I am from Dallas. I know the power of a neutral site game, and the tradition that surrounds them. My position is now that this is an SEC match up it will be the single largest metropolitan area that an SEC game is played in outside of USC/UCLA, and Northwestern games.


Do you honestly think that Alabama/Auburn/LSU/Florida/Georgia/Tennessee grads in the Dallas area wouldn't love for an SEC game to be in the metroplex? Do you think that the atmosphere isn't going to intensify now that it is an SEC matchup? And you've held this opinion for a long time regarding Aggie Football? How long ago did that opinion start? 3 years ago? So if this game continued in Dallas you wouldn't go to it? But you would go to EVERY game in that shithole Fayetteville?


You don't think that a Dallas game is important? You don't think that has ever done wonderful things for tu/OU?
You don't think that now that we are rebranding ourselves as THE Texas team in the SEC, it wouldn't be a great thing to market to people all over the state without having to make them drive to a town they have NEVER been too?



Politely go back to being a pussy, cock gobbler.

Says the guy who has never been to Fayetteville.

Come on, dude. I've lived in College Station for 2 years. It's a nice enough town. But it's got nothing on Fayetteville.

I do too, but serious question, with your little rock obligations, is that feasible? Why would Arky do it? You would have two SEC home games a year.

First off, mental midget, I apologize for being a dick. I'm buried in work, wife is about to go into a labor, and I find myself arguing with the Rantards on here.

Yes, I've held this opinion for a long time. We used to play the likes of SMU, UNT and other SWC schools at neutral sites from time to time in the 80s and 90s. I don't like playing La Tech in Shreveport.

I just don't like neutral site games.

I do understand your argument about Dallas and a neutral site game, but I also understand you're living out of frac vans and don't have season tickets. So for you, you think its a big deal to have that Dallas game.

For me, its meh. I go to the Arky/A&M games in Dallas for the booze, but frankly the setup of the game and the stadium setup noise level and atmosphere sucks.

I pay $375/ticket to go to an overrated venue, get bitched at by parking attendants for trying to set up a tailgate at 7 am (stupid parking hour rules), drink $10 beers and frankly I don't care for Arlington too much.

Like I said, Its a matter of opinion, and if you're someone with season tickets who drops $2900 a season (going up this year), I'd rather play them at Kyle and go to Fayetteville.

And no, I don't think Fayetteville is a shithole. It's quaint, has a nice little bar district and its in the only nice part of Arkansas (NWA is beautiful).

Those photo's are bs, not sure about past games, but this year had quite a few empty seats for both teams. I was at the game this year and both had a shite ton of empty 3rd deck seats.

A&M had more people in the suites around the stadium than Ark had, but I would say Ark had more butts in the seats.

Meh. Everything associated with Arkansas blows, it is a blanket statement that I will apply to everything associated with Arkansas except the women stupid enough to sleep with me.

The point of that, was he is far less likely to go to every road Arkansas game, but a game in the largest metroplex in Texas, shouldn't be a problem, and if not him, then for the aggregate of Aggies.

I thought Arkansas had a lot more fans this year.

A couple of caveats:

1) I was certifiably shitfaced by 9:30 am.

2) I have this condition where figs are invisible to me.

you're missing my point telefax... I've been to every Arlington game and will continue to go if it stays there.

I just prefer CS.

I'll be at every Fayetteville game too.

I might miss one or two road games a year. Dont' miss any home ones.
