I have been to 7 of those 10 and would have to say those rankings are pretty accurate. Worked the sideline at Kyle field and at Meomrial and both of those places are awesome to be a part of.

[AggieJohn]

i would like to go to a game at memorial...

All this shows (this question and that poll in general) is that there are a lot of Aggies who live in Houston that are voting.

[NHSRattler60]

I dunno as a UT fan, I wanna see the Aggies do better this year.

"let's recover a ball in the back of our own endzone, then"

[jason]

i think texas stadium is the best place to watch a game....its not pretty on the outside, but once your inside, there isnt a bad seat in the place, and they have super bowl nachos....

i think we'd both agree....us winning at a place that we had played every game but one close (and that one being OU) and us winning at Kyle is very different...not to mention since we won last year the aggies have even more reason to beat us...but that is what i love about college football, u never know what is gonna happen....

[AggieJohn]

sorry didn't finish post, look below

[AggieJohn]

you are right shane, we didn't go to baylor thinking we would lose that at all, we knew we would have to wrok at it, but we didn't expect too hard of game like we got........and while floyd was impressive for the program you have, it was nothing compared to the atmosphere of kyle......it's going to vicious this year, i hope you get to go

hope i get to go to, but baylor changed some prices at the last moment so my loan that i got to cover all my expenses might not be enough and so i'll have to use some of my other money for it....if that happens 60 bucks for a ticket to kyle and gas and all might be a little too much for me to spend....we will see....hopefully i'll go i have been wanting to...i was supposed to go to kyle and up to norman this year and down to austin to watch the game at memorial next year....oh well...

[AggieJohn]

well there are always 25 dollar tickets that you can get in the south endzone

For only about 8 bucks you too can have some nachos. Texas Stadium smells like a giant toilet with beer potpourri. (sp)
