It won't make a shite team beat a great team every time, but it can make an effect in semi equal teams. Remember these are humans playing the came. Crowd noise is a factor.

But hey keep grabbing you dicks maybe it will work.

Agreed, we are about to money whip absolutely everyone, and they don't stand a chance. I'm still waiting on announce renovations to Spence Park, though. They only thing we don't currently have(even though our tailgating is better than the Grove) is a beautiful tailgating venue. Once we get that cemented in, we will be the envy of the entire SEC.




This is why they shoulda kept you banned, won't take long though..

You had the best player in the history of your school and you couldn't beat a ranked team at home.

Sorry we couldn't beat two top 5 teams. Must be the lack of homefield advantage.

Don't move to SEC then I doubt y'all raise that much

It's note about the success than the league. But of course playing in the SEC has generated a lot of excitement.

The main point is that A&M, when it wants to, can step up and drop money at a rate few can match. There are plenty of teams in the SEC that can't do that, at least not to the extent we can. Thus it's not "because" of the SEC.

During the 90s aTm was on probation 3x for major recruiting violations. They came within a hair of receiving "Death Penalty" which would have shut FB program down. Blatant cheating contributed to their success in the '90s.What have they done since?

People downing the Aggies be informed, Kyle is crammed to capacity from start to finish even when we play freaking Idaho.

With the south end zone closed in and 100K+ attendance, Kyle is about to become a much more difficult place for opposing offenses.

Those are the facts, ignore the facts and quote leather helmet football statistics if you want.

And the main point I was making was that the Aggies NEEDED to step up. Reading the aggie posters in this thread leaves me in no doubt that some of them were pimping Kyle Field when it looked like this...



...and I have to be honest with you, very few, if any top tier SEC schools would ever have allowed a monstrosity like that to have been built on their campus.

Congrats on catching up. You guys NEEDED to spend that money.

First off, I know folks like to flame it, but I love the triple decked tackle box look of Kyle. It is instantly recognizable.

Secondly, history is the main reason it looks that way. It's built around one of the oldest collegiate athletic fields still in use, and the original stands (which are just now being torn away/replaced tbh) were supposed to accommodate a small cattle college, not one of the largest universities in the nation.

It's a testament to how far TAMU has come.

A&M raised more money in one year than LSU's entire endowment. We could have essentially started a brand new Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College... and had some money left over.

Yeah I don't get why it's hated on... stacking decks to make them closer makes sense.

Their constant obsession with wanting to be something they aren't is obvious in this thread.

750 million dollars later you still seeking crystal...and a defense.

From a program that would have a longer natty drought than Ole Miss had they not fallen arse backwards in to the greatest coach of all time, I don't get why y'all are so eager to talk shite.
