Feel free to add in A&M's home wins since 2012 over Power 5 opponents


You mean like when Chavis called Sumlin's home to accept the position?

It is more likely that a Yell Leader is in the corps than not.

It's a fair criticism, we have sucked winning SEC games at home for some strange reason. The new rebuild has completely reshaped it though so we won't really know how loud it is until this weekend (Ball State and Nevada didn't exactly fire up the crowd) so thanks for being our guinea pigs. Noise and intimidation were big parts of the rebuild including the lowering of the field, added seats closer to the field, and the canopy over the East and West Decks.

FWIW, we only lost 1 home game my 4 years at school and were in the midst of a 56-5-1 streak from the mid '80s to the mid '90s.

No flame but didn't this happen in the Big 12 as well? The record I'm sure is better tan 4-7... but every time there was a "Big" game with some national attention there, A&M lost just about every time. Right?

Actually, the Corps of Cadets is composed of fewer than 2,500 students.
So technically, Kyle Field--capacity 102,512--isn't "filled" with those guys; rather, they make up less than 2.5% of the folks in the stands


So the rest of the crowd is part of the fake army?

LSU has played A&M over 50 times, and they've only managed 3 wins at Kyle Field.





To be fair, there have only been 11 games out of 53 played between the 2 teams at Kyle Field. From the late 50's to the early 70's the yearly match-up was played at Tiger Stadium. I assume this was a financial decision for A&M. Series history:

TS: LSU 23-10-1
KF: TAMU 7-3-1
Neutral: LSU 4-3-1

Overall: LSU 30-20-3

3. Even though its has the most seats its not even top 5 in the loudest SEC stadiums.


The fans can't cheer that loud with their mouths full.

The 32000 Syracuse fans on Saturday were louder in that dome of theirs than any Aggie game I've ever been to. Remember I lived in CS and went to your games vs Nebraska and Oklahoma.

We certainly struggled because our team sucked but we had a lot of big wins. Beat #2 Nebraska in '98. Beat #5 Texas in '99. Beat #1 OU in '02. Beat OU and Nebraska both ranked #9 at the time in '10, destroyed Baylor in RGIII's Heisman year in '11. Most of those were heavy underdog games.

I don't think anyone has ever considered Kyle Field intimidating, they basically get credit for thinking up the "12th man" gimmick which they don't do anymore (now its supposedly about loudness but they don't do that well).

A&M did not lose a game at Kyle Field from Dec of 1989 to Nov of 1995. I think in total A&M lost 4 games at Kyle during the 1990s.

Our student section is bigger than most schools entire student population. GTFO of here with your weak shite.
