I was in section 314 around most aggie fans in that area. One aggie fan next to me asked me is it louder here than death valley? I look at him and said " are you joking? He yelled every down after I told him that and needless to say my ears are still ringing. He was the only one I guess trying out to be a yell leader I assume.

Their fans whine a lot and like to play the role of the goody two shoes victim over everything. Like the lsu players and refs were picking on poor a&m or something. The stadium didnt seem very loud except for a few plays. The bars area near campus is very cool and their band is awesome. The cheers are just plain goofy. I dont think the a&m fans realize just how ridiculous they look and sound doing them. Overall they seem like just a really weird group of people.

I was on the field taking pics for the game. Don't get me wrong I had a blast at the game but from all the hype I have heard over the years I was a little disappointed. There are just to many gaps in the stands for the sound to bounce off like other stadiums, but close in that end zone which would add thirty thousand people and yea it would be a completely different story.

Had many Aggie fans welcome me and tell me I hope you enjoy your visit. All were strangers either walking by me or I was walking by them.Tailgating was good and I thought the crowd was not bad as far as noise level. Great college football atmosphere.

My only complaint was the bunch sitting around me whining about the refs constantly like they were out to get A&M or help LSU cheat. Guess they need to play more games at Auburn or Tuscaloosa to see what really bad SEC officiating looks like.

The irony of those two sentences is humorous. Dear Pot...meet my friend, the black kettle!

Yea, we were a little off the street though. Probably going to secure a spot on the main road next time.

Overall, A&M is decent campus. 11 o'clock kickoff made me view tailgating scene as unimpressive. Walking around campus at 9am and it looked like half of the tailgates were empty. I sat in sec 105 and I felt only half of the stadium contributed to noise level. I could easily carry on normal conversation with my wife during crucial 3rd downs backed up in their territory.

Only people I remember were Golfer, Zealot, Honkus and Redneck. If I met you and forgot, I apologize.

Sally... you were apart of that crew?

My buddy's wife has 3 different videos from the end. When she posts on facebook, I'll send 'em along.

We bought 2 of those all n one speakers you guys had this morning. Our ground speaker isn't nearly as good as that.

Yeah, I'm in on it. I met one Aggie who was holding his son when every one was picking up. I don't believe we met, unless that was you.

I never got back over to Ball's tailgate after the game.

Whoever gave me the Romney/Ryan sticker, thank you. I think his name was John. Yeah, I'm sure that helps.

My 7 month old was out there for a couple hours after the game, but he left before we started breaking down.

There were 2 other small kids around the 1 year mark watching the dance off. I think one was bouncing around enjoying it.
