TEXAS A&M REMINDS YOU THAT YOU KNOW BUT DO NOT UNDERSTAND

Since we have the powerful expertise of exactly one visit to College Station, we can say for certain to SEC fans that you have no understanding of what you are inviting into the league. We mean this for good and for bad. You have no idea how nice the people are, especially the students who will all but carry you to your car when you get lost. You may not know how good the sausage and brisket is, either, but in due time you and your cardiologist will discover this fact together. The gameday ceremonies, cheers, and environs are like nothing else you will see in college football.

The gameday ceremonies, cheers, and environs are also like nothing else you will see in college football, a gentle way of saying the new relations are deeply and unapologetically weird. You "knew" that when they were invited, but "knowing" and "understanding" are two entirely different concepts.

Star-divide

To wit: the Aggies do not have female cheerleaders. This is not especially strange; go to a game, and it slides off the surface of the brain in a few seconds. Dudes. Making weird hand gestures. Cool. Recalibrations made. What is genuinely strange is caring a LOT about keeping it that way, and then suggesting you would actually bring a newspaper to the game.

Jon Johnson, a horse doctor and graduate of A&M's veterinary school, was asked what he would do if the dance team began performing at Kyle. "I'll bring a newspaper," he said.

"Just like he does during sex," sobbed Mrs. Johnson. The newspaper for Dr. Johnson in this and every other protest scenario would be a horse newspaper. You know: horse sports, horse wedding announcements, horse gossip, horse crosswords. The answer to every line: "HORSE." Horse crosswords are baffling to horses both because they cannot write without thumbs, but also because horses are not very smart animals. The movie reviews are pretty simple: "WAR HORSE: FIVE STARS, BEST MOVIE EVER MADE. ATONEMENT: ZERO STARS, WOULD NOT RECOMMEND NOT EVEN TO SHEEP, THOSE STUPID BAAHHING SHEEP."

The point is that they're ours now, and they're weird. Sure, there is a large portion of the Aggie populace that would be fine with having female cheerleaders in a dance squad perform at games. And yes, the SEC has its share of strange fanbases, some of them who at this moment are busy filing a lawsuit against the sky for being one or many of a rival's color at any point in the day.* The Aggies, however, are also debating having female cheerleaders at football games for the first time in this, the year 2012. These are the new cousins. They'll be staying in the guest room for the rest of your lives. Get used to it, and take what you must from the liquor cabinet to aid the process.

For those not familiar with College Station, there is no place on campus with the view depicted in that picture

So the fact that J Wood decided to photoshop all those elements—water tower, burn stack, big building, and smallish fountain—in his campaign literature is a terrible comment on either Mr. Wood, College Station, Texas A&M or all three. That place is desolate, but it does have a golf course on it’s front lawn. So that’s something.

That's why I qualified it.

I’d say Cartersville/Adairsville/White would be the southeastern border culturally, but even that area is getting watered down by Cobb and Cherokee creep.

Hell, when I moved to Acworth/Kennesaw in 2000, even West Cobb was half as dense as it is now.

Yea, Bartow county is predominantly more similar to what I grew up with, but as you said Cartersville is quickly becoming Marrietta North

We all give the people in East Cobb/Roswell/Alpharetta and Gwinnett too grief as much as we can.

It’s crazy how quick you can get from places like that to Paulding/Bartow. And while even West/North Cobb is starting to fall victim to the assimilation, there are pockets that are Bartow-esque. Especially near the border on Allatoona.

There are parts, but Acworth is slowly getting assimilated.

I think part of Acworth’s resistance near the lake comes from the Army Corps of Engineers not allowing new development on Corps waterfront property. So the older construction/people pretty much stay. But more and more of 41 is becoming Marietta.

So, I spent some significant time in College Station.

The Aggies will fit right in to the crazeeverse—many could see this move coming with the original SEC expansion in ’92.

For those who recall, they had a major existential level debate over the abolition of bonfire. The introduction of female yell leaders would probably merit civil war. “Cheerleaders” would bring a nuclear exchange.

Pity that Sherman did not stick around or R.C. did not return—now that would have been an epic way to start the new era.

Tips for your visit:

1. Get the flavor—go to midnight yell practice and imbibe at the Dixie Chicken.
2. Marvel at the facilities and not just the athletic ones. The student center has an enormous indoor climbing wall and approximately 4,000 basketball courts.
3. At some barbeque establishments, you only get a knife and butcher paper. Roll with it.
4. If you have to attend a daytime game at Kyle Field in September, invest in a personal cooling apparatus of some sort or you will die.
5. Avoid mention of anything or anyone in Austin.

Here are a few suggestions for starters:

1) Spend the entire evening talking about how there’s nothing better than Cochella.
2) Ask the waiter if there’s anything on the menu that isn’t “hippie organic crap.”
3) Tell your bartender that Lance Armstrong is just a “single-nutted blood doper.”
4) Chant “S-E-C. S-E-C.” at random intervals.
5) If someone starts counter-trolling with Calipari material, just say “Rick Barnes.” Then drop the mic and leave.
6) Walk in to County Line Barbecue wearing this:

Meanwhile, she’s still bleeding occasionally and we’re a little concerned because they don’t seem to have done anything to prepare her in the event she needs an emergency C-section.

$900 for GA, but I don't think i need recommendation letters yet.

Includes a $400 late fee sonce I didn’t register for fitness by the first week in January. For the July bar.

Thought it was actually the first week of December for y'all

It’s fucking ridiculous. They don’t even do the work; we lay everything out and they reject it in toto if an i isn’t dotted or a t isn’t crossed. The total amount of work expended would be so much less if we all just consented to disclosure of the stuff and they had one employee dig it all up. And then they might come close to earning that fee, too.

Yikes!

New York is still only $250 to sit the exam. If I recall correctly, you pay a separate fee for the character and fitness review (and you can’t even start those forms until the exam results come back threeve weeks after the test). I took the New York bar in July 1995 and finally got sworn in the following April. And then it took another ten months to finish my DC waiver application (more fees).

Makes sense . . .

. . . since about a third of the test-takers fail. (Note: The numbers are skewed by foreign law students trying to test in and repeat takers. The pass rate for first-timers from ABA-accredited schools is about 86%.)

What's it like living in Alabama?

1) Man in Hoover hits several vehicles in rush hour traffic.
2) When cops finally get him to stop, they notice he’s naked.
3) Story gets posted on al.com
4) First comment:

Nick Sabarn needs to control his players.
He’s not going to miss practice anyway though. Thats how things are handled at UA (Updyke Academy).

5) Fourth or so comment:

We hived on strategically placing open feeders for jays and blackbirds and leaving a hanging feeder for the smaller guys so the jays don’t run them off.
