Thanks for having us this weekend. Looking forward to the experience (but most likely not the final score). Most of our games are in our region and we travel well....going to Texas will not as big a contingent as usual, but we have a lot of fans who are really looking forward to seeing College Station on a game day, with the full 12th Man experience. You guys have really established a college football hot spot there.

Here's hoping for no injuries, and at least a close and entertaining game. And although it doesn't mean anything, my favorite college football moment last year was this



That's what college sports is all about...have watched it many times. And thanks for beating the Tide...the vast majority of football fans were hoping that kick went through the uprights. See you Saturday.

Hope y'all enjoy the game and that we get better weather this week!

Drive safely and have a good time.

Travel safe and enjoy the weekend. But leave those boiled peanuts at home, the tailgate food will be in abundance!

Howdy!

If you are planning on catching the Aggie park - buy the vip pass or you will never see the band. Bring plenty of cincos and go for the lunkers! Find any ag tailgate , wearing an ap shirt, and you will drink and eat for free all day!

Important reminder, when driving East on University Dr and you turn South onto Texas Ave. YOU HAVE YOUR OWN LANE!

Hope you have a good trip, welcome to Aggieland. Enjoy Kyle. It's like a big rock concert! but full of history

Welcome!

What's your prediction of the final score?

Bring some bbq with you. We need to settle this once and for all.

No we don't. Texas BBQ is king and it's not even close. I've had Memphis and Carolina BBQ. While good, it's nothing in comparison.

Unfortunately for the folks visiting, Bryan/College Station BBQ places aren't great. However, 1775 BBQ near the river is pretty damn good. You should be able to find some friendly Aggies that will be willing to share some BBQ and beer at the tailgates though. I hope you enjoy your visit and find a 2nd team to root for. You will be welcome with open arms.

You'll have a blast. Enjoy. And you will soon see why we love being apart of this. Nothing better.

Another App State graduate that's excited to make it down! Look forward to College Station/Kyle Field.

As an Aggie who has traveled widely to different venues, I can tell you you're in for the sweet spot of college football as far as finding a really energetic and unique atmosphere that is still friendly to visitors. I've been to some places that were safe but pretty lifeless, and places that were energetic but full of drunk morons hoping to ruin your day. I'm proud that A&M is the best of both worlds. Have a blast. If you're remotely into history and have any time be sure to check out the Bush Sr Presidential Library.

I'm sure Jerry Moore is still an App. State legend. I heard him speak when he was the head coach at Texas Tech. I recall he was well-thought of back then and was an entertaining speaker. Before that, he was the head coach at North Texas. He's from Bonham TX, which is a really small town in northeast Texas.

Welcome to Aggieland, 86! You guys should've beaten UNC. 40 points in one quarter is insane. Gonna be a great game. Safe travels!

Don't forget to hit up Northgate after the game.

Welcome! Come early and stay late. You posting that wonderful video of Seth's wife and family makes you a good guy. I watch it all the time and my eyes get watery every time. Seth kicks in the CFL now and you can follow both of them and their love story on Instagram.

Hope you have a great experience in Aggieland!

Safe travels, looking forward to the game and I hope you enjoy your visit.

Boone is a cool town. MIL lives in Kings Mountain and we went down there few years ago. I was your biggest fan on Saturday but not so much this coming Saturday. Enjoy your visit, you won't be mistreated.

Wow! My son is applying to the engineering program and attending his first game there this weekend. These greetings and enthusiasm have my psyched up for his experience and future there.

man, I hate to admit it, but I tear up too watching it. Nothing to do with not liking Alabama, I love any story about a young person being put in that type of pressure situation, and coming out on top. The family and girlfriend reaction...I bet a lot of Tide fans won't admit it, but I bet some eventually liked it...that is the reason we play the games. For those moments.

Also, be prepared for either intense heat and or rain. Sometimes people come unprepared for the reality of midday games in Brazos County, which is usually either brutally hot and humid or a downpour, sometimes a little of both.

Howdy Mountaineers,

I was at App State when they won 3 consecutive national championships and beat Michigan at the Big House.


Enjoy your time in Aggieland!

Welcome to Aggieland. Stop at Academy Sports and Outdoors and get you some of those .99 cent clear rain ponchos. We were in a drought all summer but lots of rain this past month. You can take one unopened bottled water up 1 qt, but I have seen people with a gallon. You will need it.

I only wish I could experience Aggie Gameday for the first time again. Truly unique experience.

Make sure you get to see corps march in before the game and Northgate after the game (bar district). Don't be shy, most every tailgate will be happy to have you as a guest.

We love all college football fans. The exceptions are:

tu, (not to be confused with University of Tennessee)
L$U
Texas tech
There are a few teams we love to hate, but those are the fan bases that are not welcome at my house or tailgate

Game is at 2:30. Everyone a stay cool.

Baylor can suck it

Welcome!

Wear your App State gear.

Goto Midnight Yell, watch the corp march in. You'll have fun. A&M is very welcoming to visiting fans.

Hopefully you have a blast from the time you arrive until about 2:30pm on Saturday only to start having a blast again around 6:00pm

But it's a must to wear your App State gear

Will he pass a Bucc-ee's at any point on his trip from the East? Someone give this man directions!

This forum can be a "zoo" at times, but yes, the offline culture on campus you're picking up in this thread is real. A&M is a special place for Ags and visitors who themselves are good sports. My belief is the spirit of hospitality exists because we know that bad hospitality is a poor reflection on the school and its traditions we love so much.

Umbrellas not allowed at Kyle Field, FYI…..

And clear plastic tote bags are allowed only … (but companies in the Kyle Fan Zone just outside the stadium often have them as freebies)

App State are good fans and people. I can't be at Kyle this weekend but hopefully we show their traveling fans some Aggie hospitality.

If you find time sometime after the game, post your thoughts, reviews, and take aways here. We love that kind of stuff, and it helps us keep improving the gameday experience.

He will pass a Buccees on his way into Birmingham AL. It is crazy busy like all of the others.
