Texas A&M set to begin roughly $200 million in facilities upgrades/renovations and the plans/renderings are mind-blowing. Already $170 million in funding secured

They got TShirt and Cup made. Top check writing team in country. I’d be jealous if it was anybody worth a fuk.

They also had a fricking school-sanctioned drag show at their Fish Camp bullshite. That is one weird-arse "military" institution.

At some point, you just throw up your hands and say, who cares.

Their drag show was called “Draggieland”. No joke. There was a story about it in the Sunday. Houston Chronicle.

CFB is ruined.

I hate the aggies for being so weird and cultish, but I can’t help but feel that if they keep throwing huge sums of millions at the program they will just get a natty.

200MM is an absurd amount of money for facilities, and it’s not like they have bad facilities now.

True, but this thread is dedicated to laughing at the Aggies. I come to tiger droppings to escape real life, not be reminded of it

Yea all the poor schools like Georgia, Alabama, and LSU should continue to win the SEC and national championships.

didn't we spend $78 million 8 years ago for a stadium expansion? If we had that kind of cash, we'd do the same thing.

But most players don't choose their school based on facilities. Sure, the facilities can't be old and dilapidated, but having shiny new toys doesn't guarantee the 5-stars are coming.

Now, NIL cash is another story.

They’re setting themselves up to be a laughingstock when they can’t win a natty with Jimbo. They’re getting desperate and doing irrational shite because their savior is still going 8-4 and nowhere near elite, approaching elite, or even “peak Sumlin”. It’s embarrassing and it’s exactly who they are as a group of people
