1. There's a lot of bright Orange.
The entire campus screams "I am the better version of the University of Texas" by including their school colors in the smallest details, including the chairs. However, at least it isn't completely burnt orange. My Aggie heart can manage.
2. Peyton Manning.
Apparently, he has a communications degree from there, who knew?
3. Kyle Field is superior to all stadiums.
I know you're trying Tennesse, but as an Aggie, Kyle Field is the best football stadium in the SEC. (BTW, this is not Kyle Field, this is the Tennessee Stadium)
4. They have core values too.
This is a quote on the wall in the visitors center, which says a lot about a university. They also have a statue of a man holding an actually burnt torch to continue this metaphor.
5. Construction is all over the United States.
I know as Aggies, we complain about construction a lot, but at least we aren't alone in our struggle. A big shout out to the University of Tennessee for also having many construction projects.
6. The library does not look like a prison.
Instead of staring at brown walls, you get to see the sky. Evans, step up your game.
7. The Aggie family is large.
On the tour, we ran into an entire Aggie family and realized that home is a lot closer than you think sometimes. However, that makes a girl wonder why they were touring the University of Tennesse, ya know?
8. The gift shop looks like a Whataburger, but without the food.
I've never been around this much orange without having a grilled chicken sandwich with some spicy ketchup and fries in front of me.
9. A&M has more traditions.
There's nothing quite like the 12th man, Sully, Silver Taps, the Corps, and standing up for a four-hour football game. Tennessee can't compare.
10. College should feel like home.
At the end of the day, your college should make you feel as if you're at home. Everyone needs to be given the opportunity to grow in the best place possible, even if they're not at A&M. I liked the University of Tennessee, but my blood will always bleed maroon #Gigs.
11. My little brother looks precious in the University of Tennessee gear.
Ladies, he's single. But if he went a thousand miles away for college, we all know my articles would start to be titled "How To Cope With Your Sibling Living a Million Miles Away." Here's to hoping he comes to Aggieland! (Everyone looks better in maroon anyway)
