Well, to be honest, Texas A&M is pretty small potatoes and I don't really follow it all that much. Also, marketing doesn't do much for me one way or another. Having said all that, I can see why you do though. Sometimes, I wish I had as much pride in the school I graduated from but mostly I just consider it as an opportunity. I'm getting older and seem to be showing less interest in things. In my view, that's probably not a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see how you could think that A&M, who averages over 98,000 fans per game at home football games would be small potatoes, to the Seahawks and their massive attendance of 69,000 fans per game.

What position did you play for the Seahawks in 14? I had no idea the Aggies had won a National Championship until I googled that.
