yes, those are nachos. they were supposed to entice fans to come to the a&m vs kansas game.

all the hicks seem to have gone huntin and this is what they have resorted to fill the stands.

and guess how the "greatest fans in football" responded.

its really quite inspiring to see how behind your team you are Dude.
i remember a time when you were just leaving home and anxious about college life... and now you are just lapping it up. it sounds like you´re having so much fun.
its actually making me a little jealous to see all of this great college life, and inter-college rivalry and such... thats all absent at my uni, as is the social life and comraderie.

thanks for keeping us all up to speed.

Well, the Aggies will play in a full stadium this Saturday. It will be very full and very red, er... make that Crimson with a little cream. The packed stadium will cause an awful lot of noise and the pore little horses will be tired of pullin' the schooner in and out and in and out and in and out and.... you get the idea! They're in for a long afternoon.... er I guess part of that is morning since it is an 11ish game for TV.

it's kinda shocking how thoroughly crappy the Aggies have been this year.

It's kinda shocking how fair weather some fans can be, even in the state of Texas, a supposed hot-bed of football.

I dare you, on the other hand, to find a ticket available to a Penn State game, and they are having the same kind of year. And they seat tens of thousands more.

Penn State 3rd largest stadium in college football if I am not mistaken. They are at like 100k seats.

Michigan and Tennessee being the largest.

Could someone enlighten me as to what the hell is an "Aggie" is ?(aside from an A&M sports player).

The A&M in Texas A&M is Agricultural and Mechanical. "Aggie" was originally meant as a derogatory truncation of A&M, but for some perverse reason the bastards started calling themselves that.

Under no circumstances should you let anyone from Texas A&M build a bonfire.

damn you to hell

as soon as i realized those were nachos i got so hungry and the idea of free nachos is more than i can take right now...

not a big TAM fan, but solid team

Good to see A&M reaping the rewards of stealing someone else's coach. Seriously though, Alabama was on its way down with probation, so I don't blame Francione for leaving. It will be interesting to see if he can turn that ship around.

Ohio State doesn't have a problem filling its stadium... :D

Its gonna be packed against Mich. State this weekend moreso than usual.

Man oh man, I would hate to sit on some nachos.

Don't know who the Aggies play next week but they might want to try Filet Mignon, cuz at 77-0 I don't think there will be a lot of interest. Wonder if Dennis wishes he was still at Alabama? He's got some recruiting to do!

Obviously written before the slaughter.

People in College Station wouldn't know what Fill-et Mig-non was. :D Try a T-Bone, that might work.

When OU was in the Dark times (The Blake/Snellenberger era) It was soooooo easy to get tickets. Seriously, out of 77,000 seats, there were probably 30,000 available. I remeber in 98 there was a Cheifs/Bucaneers preseason game at Owen field that outsold every OU home game. When teams win,, its just more fun to watch.
