How are you supposed to find space to tailgate if you can't set up on the grass??? And besides, from everything I've heard, it's only the grass on the football field that's a tribute to fallen soldiers.
Grass? shite man, its a drought. We just have dirt fields now.
Its the grass immediate to the MSC, which is surrounded by roads on 3 sides and walkway/tower/pond on the other. You wouldn't set up a tailgate there anyways.
The grass on the football field.. you can walk on it after games. In fact, they invite you to come down and listen to the interviews.

Yeahhhh I don't really care, I won't be posting here much(you should thank me apparently). But some of my thoughts are so important they have to have their own topic.
BTW, Texags will get the same topic started 3times within like 2 mins. Don't complain...
Seacrest out.

The MSC is fenced off and under construction for another year or two so I don't think anyone but a few construction guys are walking on the grass.

it stems from our all-guy military background. Honestly, its really cool
It honors all fallen Aggies in war, and there's been lot, sadly. It's a place of great reverence and honor for men and women who bravely served their country. We have quite a few medal of honors blah, blah, blah...
The corp. I hate when it's construed as "fake" army or "dressup." A lot of these kids graduate and join the military as officers, blah, blah, blah...
Let's get a few things straight...
LSU is THE Old War Skule. We don't want to hear about your lame arse-ed corps of cadets as we have our own which is older and more storied than yours - and yet we don't feel the need to do queer things and blame them for it.
Also, there were tigers in Louisiana BEFORE the Civil War, the Washington Artillery. "Try Us".
Yes, LSU is a Land, Sea and Space Grant University too. Othe A&M's of the SEC are State, Auburn and Kentucky.
Yes, State is Maroon and White too.
LSU has no rivals. We are peerless.
Keep UT.
About UT, we have our own puke orange UT, no need to bring up another.
So, in short, A&M really isn't as special as aggie thinks they are, they just have to keep tellng themselves that to justify all the oddness.
That is all, carry on.

lol you say '"THE old war skule" like its famous outside of LA. I've never heard of the great generals or medal of honor winners they have(if any), in fact I never heard of your old war skule at all...I'll look it up.
None of this was meant to an "aggie is special" thread, just trying to clarify some of the dipshit beliefs thrown around here. But you missed the point, sooo surprising.

Can't. We play in Razorback Stadium South which is just fine by me.
Dallas has a lame burrito shop and some Shiner for sale as well, so that saves me a trip. Been to the Bean and the Dixie Pollo before in my younger years as well. Meh x 2...

Dude...you really think the cadets are famous outside of texas? The only reason people are talking about them here is because they're such an easy target. I assure you 99% of the non-texas population has no idea they exist.

Where did I say it was? Y'all aren't the most impressive bunch. Try reading stuff at face value, instead of letting your dumbass brain infer things I didn't say.

By saying that the Old War Skule isn't famous outside of LA (no one claimed it was), you were implying that the cadets are somehow more known. They're not.

That's because there aren't pictures of them grabbing their sacks all over the internet.
Our cadets have decorum. They are men who speak for themselves as opposed to the aggie corps who are boys who grab themselves.
So, you've never heard of John A. Lejeune, "greatest of all Leathernecks"? You ever hear about a little place known as Camp Lejeune, NC?
In the Marine Corps' annual celebration of the establishment of the Marine Corps on November 10, 1775 at Tun Tavern, the following message from MajGen John A. Lejeune is read:
MARINE CORPS ORDERS
No. 47 (Series 1921)
HEADQUARTERS U.S. MARINE CORPS
Washington, November 1, 1921
759. The following will be read to the command on the 10th of November, 1921, and hereafter on the
10 November of every year. Should the order not be received by the 10th of November, 1921, it
will be read upon receipt.
(1) On November 10, 1775, a Corps of Marines was created by a resolution of Continental
Congress. Since that date many thousand men have borne the name "Marine". In memory of them it is
fitting that we who are Marines should commemorate the birthday of our corps by calling to mind the
glories of its long and illustrious history.
(2) The record of our corps is one which will bear comparison with that of the most famous
military organizations in the world's history. During 90 of the 146 years of its existence the
Marine Corps has been in action against the Nation's foes. From the Battle of Trenton to the
Argonne, Marines have won foremost honors in war, and in the long eras of tranquility at home,
generation after generation of Marines have grown gray in war in both hemispheres and in every
corner of the seven seas, that our country and its citizens might enjoy peace and security.
(3) In every battle and skirmish since the birth of our corps, Marines have acquitted themselves
with the greatest distinction, winning new honors on each occasion until the term "Marine" has come
to signify all that is highest in military efficiency and soldierly virtue.
(4) This high name of distinction and soldierly repute we who are Marines today have received
from those who preceded us in the corps. With it we have also received from them the eternal spirit
which has animated our corps from generation to generation and has been the distinguishing mark of
the Marines in every age. So long as that spirit continues to flourish Marines will be found equal
to every emergency in the future as they have been in the past, and the men of our Nation will
regard us as worthy successors to the long line of illustrious men who have served as "Soldiers of
the Sea" since the founding of the Corps.
JOHN A. LEJEUNE,
Major General Commandant
75705—21

Wow...read my last post chief. YOU implied that about what I said. I never said "the world famous corp of cadets" or anything remotely near, I never said anything about their fame or popularity at all. He put the good ole "THE" emphasis,now that implies something.
Since you only have the intellectual capacity to graduate from UK, let me put this way. You're wrong, and a complete idiot. SO shut the frick up.
Thanks bud!
@Sao touche...that's funny, but that's just fish hazing.

I've never heard of the great generals
You never heard of Lieutenant General Claire Lee Chennault?
Flying Tigers
Just weeks after the Japanese air Attack on Pearl Harbor (Sunday morning, December 7, 1941), the first news reports released to the public pertaining to Claire Chennault's war exploits occurred on December 20, 1941 when senior Chinese officials in Chungking that Saturday evening released his name to United Press International reporters to commemorate the first aerial attack made by the international air force called the American Volunteer Group (AVG).[14] These American flyers encountered 10 Japanese aircraft heading to raid Kunming, and successfully shot down four of the raiders. Thus, Colonel Claire Chennault became America's first military leader to be publicly recognized for striking a blow against the Japanese military forces. This American public fame would last four months until the Doolittle Raid led by Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle, United States Army Air Forces.[citation needed] In 1948, Chennault would make a controversial claim that General Clayton Bissell had not informed him of the upcoming raid, and that the raiders took unnecessary casualties because of it.[15]
Based primarily out of Rangoon, Burma and Kunming, Yunnan, Chennault's 1st American Volunteer Group (AVG) – better known as the "Flying Tigers" – began training in August 1941 and fought the Japanese for seven months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Chennault's three squadrons used P-40s, and his tactics of "defensive pursuit," formulated in the years when bombers were actually faster than intercepting fighter planes, to guard the Burma Road, Rangoon, and other strategic locations in Southeast Asia and western China against Japanese forces. As the commander of the Chinese Air Force flight training school at Yunnan-yi, west of Kunming, Chennault also made a great contribution by training a new generation Chinese fighter pilots.
The Flying Tigers were formally incorporated into the United States Army Air Forces in 1942. Prior to that, Chennault had rejoined the Army with the rank of colonel. He was later promoted to brigadier and then major general, commanding the Fourteenth Air Force.
