Hasn't Texas A&M been trying to make LSU their new rival for years now?

Is LSU a better job?

Regular top 10 in football, baseball, softball, track, gymnastics. Department turns a profit every year, great facilities, and only big program in the state. Probably a better job. Best part: no milkmen!

Isn't LSU up there with Bama, Texas, Michigan, Ohio St... as a blue blood?

Top 10 doesn't mean much, frankly. Aggy has successes too.

Key is budget and donors and pressure. Money is rolling in for all SEC schools. I think anm has wealthier donor pool

No. Not to me.

Yeah they could be down a tier from there about where A&M is I suppose.

To quote LBJ about the difference between the Senate vs the House.

One is chicken salad darling and the other is chicken sh*t.

LSU is better in every single way: hotter girls, better campus architecture, better food, better town, and football/baseball teams that have actually won national titles.

College station looks like a strip mall in Sugar land with terrible trafffic.....it takes 30 minutes to drive 6 miles. Light after light

It's filled with dorks and ugly buildings plus even worse looking women.

Along with a football and baseball programs that have never won national titles......and no, made up titles from the 1920s don't count

Don't get me wrong, I am no A&M lover, but their facilities are as good, money is too, same conference..makes you wonder if there is more to it.

It is not a "no brainer" decision.

Wow. Has Aggy been out of the conference long enough that we've forgotten what nut jobs they are?

I'd do just about anything to GTFO of College Station, even if it meant running to the crazy Cajuns.

Baton Rouge traffic is horrific

And most everything you spouted off about have nothing to do with being an AD

I was going to say the "culture" of A&M doesn't reach the AD's office.

LSU has the Golden Girls...A&M has milkmen!!! Enough said!!!

He is a graduate of LSU and has deep roots in Baton Rouge...good for him

Baton Rouge > College Station.

Seriously, why live in College Station if you don't have to?

Pretty much. Disagree about the coeds though. Conservative town, still beats living in Austin.

Athletic facilities? Yes both have brand new nice facilities....you know who else does...Baylor.

I'm talking about the campus....aggy looks like a Soviet tractor factory.

LSU looks 100% better ascetically.

Now if we are talking sports potential? Well LSU has proven it can win national titles in the sports that matter.

Aggy has never done that.

LSU has a lot of moss draped cypress trees. A&M has a lot of scraggly oak trees with the sidewalks underneath covered in grackle poop.

Yep, he grew up in BR and went to Catholic High in BR. For him it probably was an easy decision.

He just wanted to drink beer with Orgeron and listen to him talk.

I agree with much of that. And being an Alum would tug on you, but:

Jumbo Fisher or Ed Orgeron?
He just hired Buzz Williams

Future looks pretty bright in CS.

He did his job at aggy and got them good coaches.

His stock is very high right now. And LSU is willing to pay his asking price to bring him home.

Can't beat that.

I also would not be surprised to see Jimbo take off sooner than aggy thinks.

UT-Berkeley, OU, OSU, Tech, TCU, Baylor.....and everyone else in the Big 12 recruits the hell out of all the Texas spots aggy does.

And now that aggy is in the SEC.......LSU Bama, Arkansas, Ole Miss and everyone else in the SEC is all over Houston and aggy's traditional recruiting grounds.

They are between a rock and a hard place.

I wonder if the new hoops coach had any inkling his AD was leaving in a couple of weeks when he agreed to come to A&M.

grackle poop....good one! the campus at A&M is far from scenic although the young ladies make it better

Yeah, if you hate culture BCS definitely beats Austin


I am a Texan so would rather live anywhere here over BR.

They don't.

LSU is the only game in town in Louisiana.

I suppose if you like endless traffic jams and a high cost of living Austin would be a fantastic place to live and raise a family. To each their own.

Notice my original comment said live, not visit. Austin has great restaurants and entertainment venues...CS has mostly chains with a couple of notable exceptions. Sorta like Waco, or at least the Waco of 35 years ago.
