Technically Texas A & M college was here before College Station. Therefore CS cannot be the "home" of Texas A&M
Kind of a weird take in my opinion. It's a common saying to refer to something as the home of the _____ (insert natural formation or animal or plant) even though _____ blank existed before the town. We better start a petition to remove "home of the brave" from the national anthem, unless you think brave people didn't exist until after the US was a country.
My understanding of A&M history is that A&M was founded near Bryan but not in Bryan so Bryan isn't the home of it either. But regardless, I don't care if A&M is marketed as being in B/CS. What an absolutely trivial thing for a city councilman to complain about.
What does annoy me (and I recognize that is is semantics) is when, for example, they are calling a football game and say that Kyle Field is in Bryan/College Station. Nope. It's in College Station. The Minneapolis Twins don't have a stadium in Minneapolis/St. Paul, the Dallas Mavericks don't have an arena in Dallas/Fort Worth, and First Friday doesn't occur in downtown Bryan/College Station.
