Bull malarkey.  

11-2 is a great season, even if the schedule was weak and there were no wins over top ten teams, or whatever.  11-2 firmly separates you from the mediocres who have no hope of going 11-2, regardless of whatever it means about how close you are or aren't to Georgia or Ohio State or whatever.  

If people can't find some joy in 11-2 seasons, their fandom is doomed.

I think losing the last two is a damper.  Many UGA fans view last season as a near disaster after winning the SEC.

Meanwhile, ND is 10-2, but they won 10 straight after two losses, which somehow would feel better I think, then they get left out and took their toys and went home, much to the chagrin of nearly no one.

That’s one take on it.

That was a Bo Schembechler season like every other year for him.

I was thinking about Tech fans, 8-0 start, 1-4 finish.

High rises on North Gate.  This is next to the Dixie Chicken.

I was there just last weekend, that part of Northgate looks do different even compared to just a few years ago.

And, my daughter's dorm is dangerously close to the Chicken...  :'(

I wonder how much I'd recognize there now.  I haven't worked in College Station since 2011, and I might not have been there at all since then....can't remember.  

Back then I knew how to get around the major roads and knew where the main highways entering and exiting were, and where they went.  I usually stayed at the Marriott on University.  Except for one summer when I sub-leased my cousin's apartment, who had bailed on the university.  I'm not sure I would recognize much there now.  

I sometimes get confused in Austin, when I go, and there was a time when I thought that could never happen.

You'd probably recognize pretty much everything except Northgate.  Maybe some of the stuff just east of campus.  The west and south haven't changed much in decades.

Bryan on the other hand has a pretty nice little revitalized downtown area going on.  Some cool bars and restaurants, a whiskey distillery, outdoor live music venues.  It wasn't a bad way to spend a Friday night when we went last weekend.
