Well - what can you say? 103,000! I guess the SEC is going to be a big plus for them!

A&M was always second class to UT. I'm no aggie fan but moving to the SEC is a great move for them.
now a stadium for 103,000 which I suspect they believe they can fill it.
I recall when Arkansas moved from the SWC to SEC and one major reason was more income.

Might as well add National Championship banners for every year from here on out as well.

They are too busy worrying about tradition, whooping, finding a gay partner, and bashing Texas any chance they get
I bash Texas any day so I tag along to anyone who says they hate them. Also should burn an effigy of deloss

Could land in Reliant as early as 2013
That's definitely one of the options, but people don't think its going to happen. There are too many obstacles in the way. It's just the headline that gets more attention. It might be great PR to play in all the major cities, but our local businesses hate it and I'm sure the season ticket holders and Kevin Sumlin would hate it too.

Yes, A&M is so horrible for having a living memorial to soldiers who died for our country.

I keep hearing that number too and I'm not sure if I'm on board. That's gigantic and I don't want us to have empty seats. Hopefully, its true about how well SEC fans travel - we might need some help filling the stadium. I think SMU and the Texas Rangers were smart to build a great looking, appropriate-sized stadium. I hope we're looking at what you did.

Hey I respect that! At least people there have discipline and live by tradition and honor something that I think SMU needs to remember once more

We can't even keep our students and fans from walking in the flower beds on game day, so we have no room to talk.

took my son there as a prospective student. so disappointing and uninformative that he was sure he did not want to attend there by the time it was through. they were more about the aggie traditions around campus and a tour of Kyle Field than what educational opportunities were available other than the statement "Graduating aggies were the second most in demand after Penn State graduates". You could tell the kids on the tour who were from aggie families though because they were in awe of being on that "sacred ground". Bigger isn't always better. As the days go by I am believing the students at Baylor, TCU, Rice and SMU have it so much better than the students at the hugely overpopulated public schools although the owls and mustangs need to step it up in the athletic and facilities area.

My only beef is that aTm has about 50 traditions that are stupid and make no damn sense! Plus their Jan Brady syndrome with UT makes me roll my eyes.....
