Everyone makes fun of the ct's (corps turds) , non regs (students not in the corps) included. The corps is more responsible for the traditions and friendliness of Aggieland than any other factor. They are called keepers of the spirit. The corps is one of the best leadership schools anywhere in the world. All that goofy strange stuff everyone makes fun of them for is teaching them the first lesson in leadership which is how to follow. There is a saying in College Station that Highway 6 runs both ways. If it's not for you then try somewhere else. If I had to do it all over again almost forty years later I'd go there again. Gig-em!

To any of the Gators that came to Kyle Field, how does the arse room we give per seat compare to other stadiums (like Neyland etc..)?
Posted on 9/11/12 at 2:22 pm to joe.liberst
less room than florida or auburn.
I've been in Neyland but not during a game. Couldn't tell you what it's like with a lot of people there. They don't look that narrow when it's empty, but neither would Kyle and I was standing sideways the whole time.

bleachers were made for standing on

False. I don't mean that to be rude or disrespectful, but your experience was the Corps, you don't know anything else. You can't imagine the friendliness coming from somewhere else, but it does. The Corps is a non-factor in the modern student body. Greek life and all the gayness that goes with it, is more a part of the Aggie composition now than the Corps is.

Yeah, when I was a student we had to stand sidways to fit everyone when standing. When we did sit down, about every four or so people had to still stand or sit on someone's lap.

I don't agree with you on much, but this is spot on.

It all depends on what your perspective is. Thirty nine years ago is the beginning of my Aggie experience. I've seen changes while watching my children go to A&M. The campus has much less of the small town feel it once had, but the corps has changed very little from what I can tell. People say howdy much less than they used to. For things to stay as close to the same, in my opinion, is because the corps has changed so little.

As an Aggie, I had almost no interaction with the Corps. They kept to themselves. I'm not sure they are responsible for the rest of us being generally nice people and following traditions.

I think that without the corps A&M would become like any other school. For instance silver taps would go away without the corps. You don't have to interact with the corps to feel the influence. I would suggest asking other Ags what they think of this.

That is definitely true. Their presence is ever lasting. The MSC, Silver Taps, etc. makes you much more aware of stuff. I still think the solidarity that Aggies show with 50k is much much much greater than the Corps though. Fish Camp(even though it was super lame) adds to that to a degree. So does lack of fraternities. And College Station's relative isolation to the rest of the world.
It is an interesting question.

relatively isolated?
that's like saying ascension island is "relatively isolated."

Isolated? In 25 years BCS will basically be a suburb of Houston esp with some of the long term planning they have for the area. It's less than 2 hours from Austin, less than 3 from San Antonio, and about 3 from Dallas. There are about 20 million people within 250 miles of the town essentially, that's isolated?

Presently,
2 hour drive to any city someone out of state has heard of.
Yes, isolated. I was at the game and made the drive. There is an hour of pastures south of CS.
Also, I had a good time and was making a jape. Get your panties out of a wad.

I think he was referring to the other Ag. Yours clearly was a joke.
I'd say A&M is relatively isolated. Other cities are in close driving distance but there's not a ton of interaction between them.
I'm fine with that - I loved going to college in a college town. It's all city for me now but it was great with 90% of the town being between the ages of 18 and 25.

Basically a suburb of Houston? No. Try again.

It's definitely isolated and I think most of us prefer it that way. I definitely do. Most of our grads live in places like Houston and Dallas, I love driving out there and being in (relatively) the middle of nowhere for football weekends.
