Somethin is about to happen in Aggie Land

[P. Marf]

Just heard on Ben and Skin that because of the ridiculous layout of Wrigley Football Field has caused a change of idiocracy. How middle school is this: All offense will move towards the west endzone for the entire game.

They joked that if there was an interception that the guy returning it must run to the 50 and turn around to the west endzone.

I'm issuing a failed bit warning on the entire Wrigley Field experiment.

Good call Mike, I posted a link on the Mike and Mike thread.

A little game of half-court is getting more national attention than Kyle Field.

Why don't they just stick with overtime rules for the entire game?

[P. Marf]

haha. Who decides where this game is played? Why does ESPN waste their time sending their college show there?

[Ticket Mouse]

The teams agreed on it. It's one of NW's home games. They average around 35k anyway so this will be just like a home game.

[P. Marf]

Dumb.

Big Sherm's open letter to students:

Howdy Twelfth Man! First of all, let me thank you for all the support the Twelfth Man has given to the Aggies. Game after game, year after year, the Twelfth Man proves that they are the best fans in all of college football with their passion, commitment and loyalty to the Aggies. THANK YOU and well done!

Saturday, the Aggies will face a huge challenge when the No. 8 Nebraska Cornhuskers come to College Station. We've played a bunch of good teams this year ? Nebraska will be our fifth Top 25-ranked opponent in 2010 ? but the Cornhuskers might be the best of them all! This game has all the trappings of an epic game, including our friends Brent Musburger and Kirk Herbstreit from ABC/ESPN and a national TV audience.

In 2006 Kirk Herbstreit declared our student section "the best student section in college football." You all have an opportunity to revalidate this statement Saturday night.



Last week against OU, it looked like the Twelfth Man towel was back in the stands. When the towels are waving I know that it fires up our team on the field and is intimidating to the opponents. Bring your towels Saturday.

That's why I'm asking the Twelfth Man for a special effort, a FANATICAL EFFORT on Saturday. FANATICAL EFFORT is this year's Aggie squad's mantra. I demand fanatical effort from the players and my staff in all phases of the program from practice, to film sessions, to the field of play, and I know I can count on the Twelfth Man to take it to the next level!

It will be Twelfth Man Day on Saturday at Kyle Field, and I'm told that we might have the largest crowd in the history of our stadium. The Twelfth Man has made a huge impact for us already this year ? your energy and belief in your team helped us turn things around against FIU when we were trailing in the fourth quarter; the volume level at the Oklahoma game was the loudest I've ever heard at Kyle Field; and your support on the road last week made another team's stadium into Kyle Field North. You are the Twelfth Man and I have no question you can and will play a major role in this game.

We will be honoring our senior class before the game and it will be very emotional for me. These seniors were instrumental in the development of our team. They've been "in the boat" with us since the beginning, and they are some of the best Aggies in the world. I know this group of seniors, and our entire team, will leave it all on the field for the Twelfth Man on Saturday.

It will be an honor to represent the Twelfth Man on Saturday. I hope to see you at Midnight Yell Friday.



Thanks and GIG'EM!!

31,005 student tickets have been pulled so far.

That is un-dadgum-believable.

[The River Assassin]

That's the finale number, no more student tickets are available.

[fischer]

yup.

I'm starting to think that the total number will be right over 90k.

I also wonder where those last five seats came from

This quote from Bo Pelini is music to my ears. I think he might be just cocky enough to believe this BS.

"Rockin' crowd nothing new: This will be Bo Pelini's first trip as a coach to College Station. A rocking environment is anticipated for one of the day's biggest games, but the coach also knows his team has often played its best on the road this year.

"I've been in about every environment you can in football. Nothing's new to me," he said. "It will be a good environment. I think it will be a challenge and I think our team's looking forward to it."

You're coming to Kyle Field Bo...This isn't Husky Stadium in Washington. You haven't seen everything because you haven't seen this.

[P. Marf]

Man I can't wait!

[cowtownmike]

Pelini coached @ lsu. Hostile crowds are nothing new to him.

[The River Assassin]

Well that's good for Bo since he'll be on the field...oh wait, he'll be on the side lines. Who cares if he has seen a crowd like this. You yell to disrupt play on the field, not to try and keep the HC from hearing the coaches on the head set.

[cowtownmike]

Calm down, I was just commenting on Pelinis qoute. Keep that sabre sheathed, sir.
