Should We Schedule A&m At The Aac?

We've gotten the Aggies in our place in the not too distant past. Let them schedule an Arkansas or someone in AAC.

Not only yes, but hell yes. Why can't we have one game a year in Dallas for our Dallas alums? Dallas is the biggest alumni base we have...but you had better be pretty good or they will not come. Seems like they want a good competitive team ( what a concept ).

If we are going to be "The Team" of the DFW area we need to play in DFW (Dallas) sometimes. I doubt A$M is looking at NT, probably more like a Arkansas or Louisville type program for the AAC.

I think that's a GREAT idea.

I love the idea, but would a NT crowd of real significance show up?? That place being 1/2 full with the majority wearing maroon would be a bummer.

This is one of my major fears.

Here's the deal. I have no problem with eventually down the line perhaps playing one marquee a game in Dallas - if we become a prominent fixture in college basketball, like a Gonzaga(or hell even a WKU or Butler). The schools in the Non-Power leagues that are consistently good, consistently sell out(or come close to) their own gyms, and have more than 1 marquee home contest a year.

But to have a marquee "home game" where our own fans would be ridiculously outnumbered would be a real beating. A&M has played us in Denton twice in the last 15 years - and lost. So for now, let'm come to Denton if they want another ass whooping.
