Just sayin

I have a CSB about it. I ran into Glanville around 2 AM one night at the IHOP on College. He was dressed like Johnny Cash and seemed to be pretty well hammered.

I forgot about that McKenzie tool. What kind of coach has a goon that monitors message boards?

Jackie Sherrill never would have left A&M if the NCAA didn't exist.

All of it. Just rent a hover board

I didn't say that A&M will sell out every game. It won't. It does however have growth potential most other programs do not have.

No use arguing. If someone has a preconceived idea about something, you typically are not going to change their mind, even with empirical evidence.

One thing to note is that A&M did not consistently average 70K a game until the mid 90's, yet the stadium expanded by 13K seats in 1999 anyway. There was a goose in average attendance right after the expansion, but then it pulled back during the Fran years. However, even with Franchione it never fell below the prior capacity, and then it began turning around towards the end of the decade. That was in spite of still mediocre football under Sherman. By the end of his tenure average attendance was hitting the capacity number.

There will probably be a similar trajectory with this expansion. Early on, big games will hit capacity, and others will fall short. Over time however, the school will grow into the stadium.

I've heard the phrase "Baptist Notre Dame" thrown around by BU alum.

Back in the day, Continental used to give Elite members some sort of milage multiplier for making multiple stops. My old man and his friends in sales used to fly from Houston to CS to Dallas and then to wherever they were actually headed to get double multipliers on their mileage. I think they discontinued the multiplier sometime prior to being purchased by United. I wonder if you can track an associated decrease in the number of passengers shuffled through Easterwood.

You can still make an Elite status on United through segments. If you don't make very many long hauls it's probably the easiest way to do it. I travel quite a bit for work, but don't fly international that often and only make status on miles because I'll do several long domestic trips like Seattle or Boston in a year.
