TAMU Still Looking For 11/17 OOC Opponent

PlummMeanGreen · February 12, 2012

Looks like the "small college from Ruston that could" has at least been hustling with their scheduling.

Since the Texas legislature is so into college football as they highly influenced the original Big 12's Texas contingency and since our legislators get all hippety hoppity :rolleyes: for their respective alma maters at those state capital water-coolers on Mondays after Game Day Saturdays) so......

.......why don't they just create a bill that says Texas public universities should more than try to schedule each other (even over Texas private universities who have built their programs as they sometimes even coat-tailed off some of our Texas public universities); nevertheless, suggest to all our FBS level Texas public universities that they should really try to schedule each other when they can and keep more Texas monies in......Texas.

I know this is a pipe dream of an expensive nature even if it had the chance of happening, but the worst they could tell us if we asked would be a simple no.

"If You Had A 40,000 Seat Stadium We Would Schedule You? What a great thing thing it would be to have TAMU at our Taj Mahal (as Gil Brand't called her) of a college football stadium and for a November game in Denton to boot. (Even start asking for future games from TAMU if they can't do it this season). Tell TAMU (and others similar) that we will have a 40,000 seat Apogee (only 9K more seats) if they'll do a 4 game home and home series out there in the future). Apogee Stadium with 40,000 will give us 8,000 more seats than SMU's stadium when we eventually expand her and I would wager that we will be expanding Apogee before SMU expands their Ford.

I miss football season already. Is that so wrong?

By the way, I'm looking forward to seeing the Ocean of Soul and Motion of the Ocean when Texas Southern rolls into Denton. I'm all for making a tradition out of opening the season with a HBCU and having their bands tag along.

How that for an idea for getting people into the stands? Many SEC teams plays HBCU schools OOC.
