Otherwise known as the other Holyland - Aggieland still carries the same qualities that drew Scott and I there more than a decade ago. Game day embodies what we love so much about AMC. From march-in, to passerby shouting "Howdy" to the occasional horn Hullaballo Canek! Canek! honk - there's just something special about College Station. It may not have a major metropolitan airport or even a downtown, but I can't think of a better place to spend 4 years ...

Hey, maybe tomorrow I might actually be in the shower before the entire household invades my ...

Sorry for the delay folks. Your patience is appreciated...Like, a year ago now, the boys joined Scott for the big trip to Aggieland. They were thrilled.
