Maybe we want some of their players to see what top flight facilities look like … for you know… the portal

Did we pipe in noise for their tour?

Wonder how that works

I would think they would want the nicest hotel as close to the stadium as possible. That would make the creatively named "Texas A&M Hotel" by far.

But those rooms...and all good rooms in CS are outrageously expensive for any game...

Assuming all schools have the rooms blocked for any contingency...A football team and staff is damn near an entire hotel.

Regular season is obviously done months in advance...i guess for the playoffs the likely home teams atheletic departments just book 200 rooms?

No way the travelling team could do it ahead of time....Miami, Notre Dame, Alabama, and BYU would all be competing to reserve the same 200 rooms in Oxford Norman, or College Station.

messy.

The host team is responsible for obtaining hotel room blocs before the season in the event that they host a first round game. This includes the visiting team, broadcast crew, and other personnel.

The Hilton can probably accommodate a team in their cabana wing, without even getting into the main building.

---

Also, the Aggies stay at the A&M hotel night before the game, and visiting teams most always stay at the Hilton and have for years.

Post Yell practice yell practice at the Hilton??? Nothing says a good nights rest like 1000 AGs screaming at 1:00am outside your window for an 11:00 am kickoff.

Why are they getting a tour of Kyle Field? That seems overly indulgent.

Laynes > Canes

Visitors stay at Hilton and A&M stays at the Stella, per my source that does the security. That's all.

From a broad reading of comments across the media, I believe Miami is underestimating the challenge they face playing an 11- 1 SEC team on the road. We will see how good their ACC competition really was, along with the road environment in that conference. Who did they lose to? What was their schedule strength? No one seems to highlight it.

Travel squad is - 70 to 75? So 35-ish rooms + coaches and staff = 50 rooms max

A couple of ball rooms for meetings, etc.

$100 to pull the hotel fire alarm at 3 am

They are practicing at Bryan high school

Do Miami have cocaine?

i was told there would be cans?

Why are they allowed a tour of Kyle field? Seems excessively accommodating.

---

that seems like a SuperOdd objection, why wouldn't they be allowed ?

---

Because nobody is allowed unless we say so. They obviously felt it would help them acclimate. Why give them things they want that the feel could help them?

Imagine the shock of a player seeing Kyle field for the first time with 107,000+ Ags yelling at them.

---

In off-the-field matters we want to be congenial hosts for two reasons. One, it's the right thing to do. Two, you want other teams to reciprocate when we play them.

---

Doesnt sound like you've ever been in a visitors locker room before. It's part of gamesmanship to do little petty things to get in the others team's head. Really not that appalling of a concept.

---

That's what was done in the past. But now every guy in the visiting locker room could be on your team next year. Miami's facilities are below average by SEC standards, their football team has to share facilites with other sports, and they play in a NFL football stadium that may fill up once a year across town from their school. Outside of south beach, not a lot of reasons to go there. We need to post a sign right outside their locker room detailing which positions we are looking for for next year:

Just got your a$$ whipped on Kyle Field? Come be the one handing out the a$$ whippings next year!
