"It looks like a great park, very attractive to new students, I mean maybe even like a place to go fishing on the lake, a few concerts even, a first date in the park, who knows?," said Tony Chuo, a student at Texas A&M University.

This kid fucks.

 

It’s going to be a 3’ deep retaining pond, probable stagnant. The bacteria count will be significant. And the aggys are already proclaiming its “greatness.”

I’m sure they are already selling “sacred retaining pond” t-shirts and claiming “sips ain’t rich ‘cause they ain’t go no game-day re-tainin’ pond. Recruits love re-tainin’ ponds! Advantage aggy!”

Right on, bro!

I remember all those relaxing afternoons I spent fishing or riding the rapids in Waller Creek. So peaceful. Not a care in the world.

Of course parking lots will be five miles away, and they will make a small fortune with a shuttle line to and from.

They literally, I shit you not, had a chance to build a truly one-of-a-kind, architecturally enviable stadium a few years ago. The aggy golf course is a money-waster, according to their bean counters, and so there was a proposal to build the "new" Kyle Field on the southeast corner of campus, where among other things, they could start from scratch and make it visually agreeable even to non-aggy. They would have also been able to convert the current real estate into much needed on-campus parking, or a whole host of other possible projects.

The biggest reason they did not go that route? The biggest reason for their SuperKroger monstrosity? 

Parking. They did not want to have parking average more than half a mile for their fans, because their fans would not be able to walk that far.

They have the ugliest stadium in America, and it is because they have the laziest fans in America.

Just think if they forego lawn mowers and go green, you know sheep and goats wandering around those trees for "beautification". 

They don't do anything that reminds people they are an agricultural school. It boggles the mind how much arable land on their campus they leave weed-strewn and unproductive.

Where are they going to get all those trees from?

I can't tell from the rendering but I think that must the new Zoysia/Troops-Hating Crabgrass strain. Otherwise, why would those aggy be walking on it? If it's regular sacred aggy grass, all those students are in for a world of trouble.

With as much bullshit as aggy generates, you'd think the place would be green like Ireland in the springtime.

The truth is (and @Randolph Duke can cite sources if you need them) Brazos County has such poor soil that in the early 20th Century, there was a push in the legislature to convert Texas A&M into a psych hospital, and open the state's premier agricultural school somewhere else, where you can actually grow things profitably.

Having never been to that shithole, I thought "surly these are extreme examples that were only like that for a short time or stock photos from Liberia", so I decided to do some research.  Nope, 100% reality:

You got me curious about my old stomping grounds, so I checked, and the street maps for most of the city are getting really, really old. Like, 10 years old in a lot of cases. Case in point? This is the hoarder house from up the road from our old house. This was taken maybe a month or so after the city cleanup crew hauled off five dumpsters worth of junk from her yard. I wrote about it on the old site. I have no idea, but I suspect she's dead now. Wonder if anyone will ever find her?

"Marie Provost did not look her best
The day the cops bust into her lonely nest
In the cheap hotel up on Hollywood West
July 29

She'd been lying there for two or three weeks
The neighbors said they never heard a squeak
While hungry eyes that could not speak
Said even little doggies have got to eat

She was a winner
That became the doggie's dinner
She never meant that much to me
Whoa, poor Marie"

I have The Lane Train at Mississippi State losing to Alabama, LSU, and Auburn

so you have a 4 way tie with aggy, Alabama, LSU and Mississippi State all with 3 losses in the SEC SEC SEC west and aggy with losses to LSU, Alabama, and Mississippi State so you would think they would be out of it and it would be between LSU, Alabama, and Mississippi State.....BUT!.......aggy won their Spring Game while LSU, Alabama, and Mississippi State all lost their Spring Game so aggy is 6-3 while the others are 5-4 and aggy wins the SEC SEC SEC West, but they lose to Florida in the SEC SEC SEC CCG then go to the Belk Bowl and they lose to end the season 10-5 6-4

Get your shit right. The ‘Lane Train’ isn’t MS State (as posters have already mentioned above). And, if aggy loses to the first Mississippi school they play (and I think they will because The Pirate doesn’t lose to aggy), history actually has shown that the second Mississippi school follows suit. I absolutely love that you overlooked this fact.

Fuck them, and the way they have made me cheer for teams I hate just because they now play aggy annually. And fuck their stupid little wannabe Grove. There’s only one, and aggy is too stupid to realize that. Fucking idiots.

They will have a hard time doing worse than 7-5 with that schedule, but every other win will have to come against teams they've either been dominated by or have been at least splitting games with since joining the SEC. I'm going with 8 wins.

To me, if a team can’t finish above .500 in conference play, regardless of conference, that team isn’t competing for conference titles. A&M football is in the midst of a quarter-century of not having had consecutive football seasons finishing above .500 in conference play. The longest such streak in the history of their program.

I’m not interested in their overall season record as much as I am wondering how long their drought if being competitive in conference play will continue. The o/u for conference wins for aggy should be 4.5. History says bet the under.

This. The "gimmes" are plentiful, but not as plentiful as aggy thinks they are. And they've got some heavy lifting to do if they want some of the so-called gimmes to come out like they are counting on them coming out. That's even before you get to LSU and Alabama.

Even if they somehow hit the 'over', they still probably won't be competitive for the conference (hell, division) title. But, yeah. Bet the under. 4 losses are likely, and they will all 4 be in conference.

One thing A&M has avoided since 2012 is losing games they were supposed to win. No inexplicable loses against weaker teams. I’m not sure how long they will keep that stretch up. I’d bet on 8-4 for aggy in 2020. 9-3 would be a big surprise for them.
