The Promised Land

Well A&M football season is really here. Laura and I made the trip down to Kyle Field to watch the Citadel game on Saturday. I don't know if I was more excited to see the game or all of the new video stuff.



The new jumbo-tron, aka 12th Man TV, was very impressive. Some of the content they had on it was awesome. It is kinda hard to tell how big it really is from the pictures. You have to see it in person to get the full effect of it.

The ribbon board around the bottom of the 2nd deck was pretty cool as well. Laura liked that more than the 12th Man TV. They had some nice graphics on it. They also had current scores on all the games going on at the time. There was also a section that they used for all the in-game stats.

Of course almost as important as any game at Kyle Field is the "Nationally Famous Fightin' Texas Aggie Band". If you don't get goose bumps when they march in or when they take the field at half time there is a good chance that you have no pulse.



All that other stuff was great but the main reason for going was to see some Aggie Football. We hammered the Citadel. We looked really good at times but there are a few things that still need some work. I think we had 5 or 6 fumbles. I don't think we can do that against tu or OU and get away with it. McGee look impressive. He is definitely not afraid to tuck the ball and run. He took a couple of shots and just bounced right back up on his feet. I must say that I am very excited about the rest of the season.
