As my job takes requires a little more travel than I would often prefer, I try to carve away some time to visit football stadiums and basketball arena
[See the full post at: Kyle Field Goes Boom]Tell me about it. College football stadiums may be the most underutilized assets around. Don’t get me wrong, i love them for the 7 games a year i am in them.
Moved from Raleigh to Dallas about 18 years ago. Would love for one of my boys to go to A&M as it does remind me very much of NC State. Of course, I would rather have them at school in Raleigh but out of state tuition is unbelievable….
^Lots of people have overcome an A&M education and gone on to live productive lives.
In all seriousness, I’ve been working in Texas for 30 years and I’ve never worked with a bad engineer from either UT or A&M. Both apparently have very solid engineering schools.
I am in college station. Actually they have raised another $35 million that will go to improving the seatbacks and putting in some resturants so the new total is $485 million. Here is an article from the local paper:
They do love their Aggies here.

Wow. The athletic arms race is out of control.”They’ll make up some of that by renting it out to the Tuesday Toastmasters meeting.
I was there last March and that is one barren piece of forsaken land with few trees in site. I looked at a lot of the new construction because there was little else to look at other than the GHW Bush Library/Museum which was interesting.
There engineering abilities may be ok, but they are one strange breed of characters. One of my Army roomies was an Aggie and I had enough of their childish nonsense back then.

We are taking care of the Aggie neighbor’s dog this week so my wife and I dressed her in a UT sweater and had her pose for a Christmas picture next to a Texas stocking on Christmas morning.
They are a strange breed of cat, fo sho. I read the long piece on Bonfire earlier this autumn.
I don’t mean that in a good or bad way. Just damned interesting to read about.
Keeping it classy, Aggies! Nuttin’ but a bunch of thugs who pretend they are some sort of military school…My arse! Just a bunch of snot nosed Texans in ROTC! I rest my case which was confirmed in March by a female grad Vet student at Aggieland…When I told her my Army roommate was an Aggie, her response was “did he have teeth”? It took me a while to think through that one…Did she mean “were they rotten and decayed” OR “had someone knocked them out”. But my response was “yes, he had teeth, but no brains”~
