"1) I've lived in and/or worked out of College Station, Seguine, Houston, Austin, El Paso, New York City, Los Angeles, Grand Forks, ND.

New York's on the bottom of my list. I don't care, troll, for your put-downs of so many things Aggie and Texan. Have a great day, and geude luc next year!

2) You're comparing cities only based upon size. How about any of the myriad of other ways of comparing towns? Per capita education, income, air quality, commute time, murders and rapes per capita, weather, proximity of outdoors activities vis-a-vis weather and recreational opportunities, etc. If I can compare Seguine and NYC, you sure as hell can compare Baton Rouge to Houston, which you clearly don't want to do. Again, you're conveniently (and very intelligently) tailoring your argument around points you like and want to talk about, and avoiding those you don't, just like the "we beat you at football, baseball and basketball, and nothing else matters! NOPE!! Don't talk to me about all the sports where you're better, 'cause I'm gonna think about it long enough to come up with a way to try to invalidate anything that's inconvenient to my argument."

I've told other Ags how smart you have to be to do that, and some of them don't like that observation of mine."

Oh good ole Bill Kemp lost a previous argument decisively and can't let it go. Football, Basketball and Baseball are the 3 most important sports in college athletics. To say anything else is ignorant and incorrect.

As far as Houston goes, I don't like the city. That is an opinion. It is not right or wrong. I know many people who can't stand the city. I know some that surprisingly like it.

To me Houston lacks culture and an identity. It is a huge concrete filled traffic abyss. There is nothing unique or interesting about it. I have spent a decent amount of time there and have formed this opinion.

That is just my opinion though. I honestly feel that way.

I love living in Baton Rouge. It has its flaws for sure, but is a great city imo. The food is excellent. The people are friendly. The night life is solid for a city this size. It is in close proximity to New Orleans. Having LSU in Baton Rouge makes the city what it is. The economy here is excellent.

I really wanted to discuss the LSU-Wisconsin matchup. I didn't realize expressing my feelings about Houston would cause such an uproar.

Probably should have just left your feelings about Houston out of the discussion.

As for that game, I like match-ups like this. I'd just prefer they not be played in Houston, in our back yard so to speak.

Or maybe the Ags should just get a game against Clemson or Ohio State in the Superdome.

Wrong forum! There probably won't be anybody that reads Texags at that game except yourself.

I think that it isn't Aggie Football related and you should stop posting here.

How much fun can you have when you are stuck in a FEMA trailor with a drunk father who constantly beats your mother and siblings, all while you are trying to kick your meth habit?? That has to be tough.

Oh.. and good job by LSU for choosing a team that will be downsliding now that they have lost their coaching staff and recruting base. You corndogs know how to pick a "prestige" opponent just at the right time. God forbid that they start to win every year. All bets are off then, right????

The biggest four cities in Texas in a nutshell:

Dallas = People bitter about their waterway they can't do anything with and hate Houston and San Antonio

Austin = San Francisco, but moderated.

Houston = A freaking huge city conveniently located close to water

San Antonio = Tourist attractions and Mexicans.

You're maybe even more delusional than the sips. Is this the argument where my post was deleted upon submission after I did all that work, or the one where you conveniently skipped out instead of answering questions about Ed Paris being originally from Louisiana, thus making your bragging about getting this top "Texas" kid seem hollow and shallow?

Hmm, maybe Sumlin should take advantage of all the big games these non-Texas teams are moving away from their home stadiums. All of the major programs want exposure in Texas, but that's one less big time game their local recruits won't see on a campus visit.

@biggerlsufan

Personally, I think it's cool that you have a neutral site game against Wisconsin, and due to the geography, it won't be very neutral. I hope y'all BTHO the Badgers.

Lack of beauty? sure.
Lack of character? I'm not sure you know what character is.

To say you don't like it is fine, like you said that's just your opinion. But do say it lacks character is incorrect.

Houston Freeways run right through some of the ugliest parts of town...In Dallas and San Antonio, they hide the ugly stuff

Houston has one of the best theatre districts in the nation. It's also pretty international as well.

Anyhow, I like it.

I'd rather not have LSU fans come pillage our city. Go play your game in your own state.

B/CS is 1.5 hours from Houston. Red Stick is 4 hours.

If we keep taking care of business, we defend the turf just fine.

I'm okay with the freeways running through the ugly parts and people thinking the whole city looks like that and that we all have to wear gas masks. We have enough f'ing people here already, let them keep thinking that.

Thanks for the kind comments about my hometown . When here try a tour of the Astrodome , you know the stadium we opened up to tens of thousands of your people who, in gratitude did well over 7 MILLION dollars in damage . Or perhaps tour the crime infested areas that are now home to over. 200,000 of your kind who fled you cultural Mecca sadly mostly to never GO HOME!
Check out the rise in murder right after your people flicked here.....
On and on.
My hometown opened its doors , wallet and homes to you people in your time of need. After seeing the after product of our generosity and what your kind did to my hometown I now can say with all my heart that in the event of another Katrina I hope and pray that.......
You people stay in that hellhole and drown like g-damn RATS.

And to the football question: Most recruits that will be "impacted" by the game being Houston, are likely extremely aware of LSU. Don't think it will impact recruiting that greatly. I'm in Houston though, & I'll likely try to go if it doesn't negate one of our games.

people in Houston are as friendly as Baton Rouge.

The restaurants in Houston are better

The economy in Houston is better.

The city does lack an identify though. But having no identity beats having the Baton Rouge "cancer alley sh*t pit" identify.

I am not a big fan of the city of Houston though. For a major city, it lacks character and doesn't offer much other than concrete and Tex-Mex. I have been to all of the major cities in the country, and Houston has to be the most boring and common of all of them.

I have had a great time at the games in Dallas and Atlanta. I hope Houston can prove me wrong and live up to the others.

Biggerlsufan, Good Morning and 21-0. Now, you need to crawl back into that ammonia laden trailer and rethink the stupid stuff you just posted.

You and I are old SEC fans. You come on an Aggie board, where many of them live in Houston, and bad mouth their City.

You are showing your corn dog ignorance, by slamming Houston. You obviously have not been here in quite some time.

Forbes magazine, recently named Houston the coolest city in America for the young yuppie crowd.

Drive around midtown, the Heights, downtown and see all the new entertainment, Resturants , etc.

Where did Forbes rank Baton Rouge?

Oh yea, we are in the hunt for another Superbowl. The NFL likes having Superbowls in boring places.

Can't wait to beat you again in T-town.

Better start trapping nutria so you can pay for the trip.

What a f'n idiot.

Restaurants are great

Theatre disrict is enormous

One of better museum districts...I'd recommend the menil.

I personally love the ice house scene...great places to drink w good folks.

Shopping is held in high regards if that's your thing.

If you don't think the city has an identity, i hope you enjoyed your time in the suburbs. Never thought i'd like Houston when i came, but it would be tough to leave. Not much i don't like about it.

Pretty fantastic parks and good golf.

Neither do I.

Oh no,Bill Kemp had a deleted post that he worked so hard on.

Well I wouldn't call people from the worst parts of New Orleans "my people." I live in Baton Rouge which is over 60 miles away. My hometown also inherited some people from the worst areas of nola that haven't returned home also causing the crime rate to go up. We are in the same boat here. You are telling this to the wrong person or you are terrible at geography.

This post is great. Yes, you guys beat us in the bcs championship a couple years ago. Congrats on the victory. I was in the dome. It was a painful loss.

I gave an honest opinion on Houston. If some people don't like it, that is fine.

Forbes magazine naming your city the coolest city is like the O channel naming the best alternative rock band. Forbes isn't really the bastion for naming cool cities.

I look forward to the game in Tuscaloosa this year. I might travel into the poor racist state of Alabama which makes Louisiana look great. It is really funny when a person from Alabama tries to talk down to a person from Louisiana. Your state is a complete dump with zero quality cities. Louisiana at least has Baton Rouge and New Orleans.

The only thing people from Alabama can brag about is football. It is a great thing to brag about, but trying to talk down to anyone else about anything else is laughable.

Love this thread. The only thing better than city smack talk is state smack talk.
