re: Kyle Field is tStandard for college football stadiums going forward

That's a pretty bad-arse house. But then again, AU and Bama are pretty cool to visit. As you might imagine, not a stadium snob, love the atmosphere in most of the SEC stadiums, and that kinda makes or breaks the facility for me. ...

Easy boy, just in my staff group we had two, count them two, high speed guys trying for the white brief case and three trying for Masters. Damn near wore us out clearing the road for them.
Glad to hear you got in and out early. I got deferred twice because I was critically needed and could not be...

Oh Jeez, you're one of THOSE guys, the ones who went to CGSC with an agenda….
By the time I got to CGSC I had been a Battalion S3 twice and an XO once, commanded a Signal Company, an Artillery Battery and a provisional Signal Battalion. Already had a couple of Masters degrees (still cannot figure...

I never really payed much attention to who was from WUPoU, or any other school while I was on active duty. My brother was a West Pointer, and he still has his on. Another brother went to UF, and he never takes his off. Maybe its just a family thing with class rings.
What year did you go to CGSC? ...

Only the Military Service Acadamies have a higher percentage of graduates buying class rings. Over 95% of A&M grads wear one, and it really stands out to Former Students. I graduated in 1977, and traveled in the Army and on business for over 30 years. On almost every trip I made (Germany, France, Ir...

Yep, but I have it on good authority they are renegotiating migration schedules with the bats, as their part of the program was lost when the IRS hard drives were recycled….....

Dale, completely different topic, drove by Mclane Stadium for the first time a couple of nights ago. What a beautiful set up.
Congrats to Baylor for pulling that off. Very, very impressive....

Easy up there Ag. Most of the guys I have met, who actually graduated from Bama are alright.
I think there is something in the state wide Alabama (state, not school) psych profile that takes guys who have no real affiliation with higher education, the traditions of a particular school or the gen...
re: "You can imagine a 4Q driving going into that" (Kyle Field update)
Posted by Automatic Eight on 7/10/14 at 8:24 pm
Starting Dec 14 this year, the West stands will be completely demolished, and there will be fewer seats in the rebuilt section. Kyle Field will have, like most stadiums that are being built new or undergoing major renovations, more room taken up by massive "billionaires suites" that take up space be...
re: Aggies - Why doesn't your band travel?
Posted by Automatic Eight on 11/6/12 at 9:05 am
Actually, it is one of the most traveled bands in the nation, and it is a myth that SEC schools always send their bands to SEC games, with most sending a their "marching band" to a few games and a pep band to the rest. The Aggie Band traveled to SMU, LaTech, Ole Miss and is going to Bama. That is 4 ...
