Went to Clutch, my friends and I enjoyed it.

It is definitely a younger douchier crowd, so I could see how most Ags wouldn't enjoy it but you can't please everyone.

FIFY

I'm certainly not a fan of having our game watch at Clutch, but I don't understand why people continue to assume the crowd at an A&M game watch is the same as that bar's typical crowd. If it's a game watch, it's not going to be full of bottle service bros, it's generally going to be 22-40 year old graduates of Texas A&M.

Feel free to hate on the atmosphere, seating situation, or tv setup, but complaining about "******bags" is a lazy argument.

That's what I experienced when I went to Eberhard. Of course there were Aggies, but the general Saturday dbag crowd was in full force too. It isn't like those people don't come in because there is an Aggie watch party there.

Speaking of lazy, why are we the only school that seems to think Clutch, Concrete Cowboy, and Eberhard are cant miss ideas for the game watch? Am I wrong or are there 0 other schools we share with (which is normal at actual desirable game watch bars).

As an example- Tech gets High Fives and Ole Miss gets the back room at BBC....i feel bad for all of the academic smack we've talked about both bc we're the ones that have looked like morons for the last 4-5 years when it comes to game watch selections

Because we're the only club that insist on using game watch parties to extort/raise money from bars to go toward scholarships. It's nice that so many A&M clubs are philanthropic toward the next generation of local Aggies, but some things, like game watch parties, should just be focused on getting folks together and having fun. If you want to raise money, but out a donation jar or get some silent auction items and do it that way.

Every sports bar in Dallas would be thrilled to host the A&M club under normal circumstances, but no sports bar that has any level of football season daytime business is going to pay a club to go there. Clutch/Concrete/Eberhard/ etc. all are willing to because they would otherwise have little to no business during the day.
