Seriously though, this whole thread has consisted of:

1) WestCoastAg posting because he doesn't want to come to grips with the fact that everything Texas > everything A&M

2) All Aggies arguing that A&M is better than Texas.

3) All non-Aggies arguing that Texas is better than A&M.

Get it together, Ags.

If you ask a non biased college football fan from any part of the country they will probably tell you A&M has hotter women. And why would anyone want to live in Austin? It's nothing but hippies. I think most non biased people would also choose College Station over Austin. The SEC Rant is biased.



I think denial, no most unbiased people would still choose Austin throughout America,

Yep, its that simple folks. Everyone knows you can prove subjective opinions.

If Texas was so much better than A&M in each and every way how come 9 out of our 10 recruits for 2014 hold Texas offers?

Not everyone wants to spend their college years in a huge city. That was actually the reason I didn't go to UT.

I agree. when 9 of your 10 commitments have offers from one school, its not much of a debate at all

I think it's because peoples "opinions" are some variation of "It's not even a legitimate question. Texas all day everyday and twice on Sundays. No sane person would have an opinion different than this one I just provided"

College Station above Austin?....only an Aggie would think that.

Forbes sez

No. 1:
Austin, Texas This is no surprise. Austin consistently sits atop Forbes' annual list of the best cities for jobs and scores highly in other demographics rankings. It is the third-fastest-growing city in the nation, attracting large numbers of college grads, immigrants and families with young children.

Key thing is AFTER GRADUATION and JOBS. Not CURRENT UNDERGRAD STUDENTS.

Tell me where #1 and #2 are, so I can stay away from them, too!

So, Bama just took a commitment from a top 100 player. Interesting to see how that affects the rankings.
