I will think about VISITING Austin for that one ... not moving there.
I figure over half the crowd will be Dawg fans per the usual...

Do Dawg fans know how to sip tea?

Both Alabama and LSU had really good showings. Maybe not half...

It's good to see Texas and OU looking very solid as they near entry, though it makes schedules tougher, it makes games better.

Incidentally, Vandy is pretty bad these days, Texas should be able to even that score quickly.

Has A&M been a large university for a long time now?

Yeah, at least going back to the 90s, it was roughly the same size as Texas in that 40K-50K range. But only in the last 10-15 years has it blown up to the 75,000 student monstrosity that it now is.

LSU fans saw the UT tower and probably thought it was the Louisiana state capitol and likely assumed it must've been a home game, with a huge visitors section.

Very small, 6,000 students  until about the mid-60's.  20-25K in the 70's.  25-35K in the 80's.  35-45K in the 90's.  45-55K in the '00's.  55-75K after 2010.  Numbers are my best estimate based on my own knowledge.

Sounds about right to me, at least from the 80s on.

Q:  Shortly after college, how many of those gorgeous 45 -55k Aggie coeds in the '00's did I smooch while I was working there?

A:  As many as would let me.

Would've also accepted "Not enough."

I was only smooching on one in the 2000s, but prior to 1997, there were more than a couple.

And several Longhorns.

And a couple of SWT girls.

And one Texas Tech girl.

Turns out, colleges in Texas, have a lot of good looking girls.

I wouldn't know anything about that.  There's only been one Texas girl for me, and I married her.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it :)

Track and Field Hall of Fame head coach Billy Maxwell passed away Monday at age 80.  His career included stints at Tennessee, Texas, LSU, and most recently Nebraska.  In over 50 years he coached 28 NCAA champions and more than 350 All-Americans.  In five seasons at LSU he coached both men and women and produced 189 All-American honors while winning 26 NCAA events.
