How do you know Jim Rome has never travelled to College Station or A&M?? He is a sports analyst and I have a hard time believing that Jim Rome being such has never ventured the campus to check things out if not the sports program. How is it you know he has never been there?

For one thing, I can tell by reading the article. He states, "If you feel that life doesn't get any better than the Dixie Chicken, and enjoy being stuck in a never ending "Dukes of Hazard" episode, then move there." First of all, any idiot can name drop the Dixie Chicken. In reality, most Aggies and residents of B/CS know of the Chicken, have been there, but don't hang out there. Most of the people that I knew that wanted to go somewhere like that and drink beer went to a place called Dudleys' Draw right next to the Chicken, and many just went to a lot of other places. Anyone that's been down there for more than a few hours knows this. The Chicken is only a status symbol to those who've never been to CS. Also, nobody there calls it the "Dixie Chicken." It's just called, "The Chicken."

And CS resembles Hazzard County as much as New York City resembles Waltons Mountain. One can argue whether B/CS is a good place to live or not. This sentence proves that rome hasn't been anywhere close to there, and I'd bet I could count on one hand the times he's even been to Texas.

I don't know where romes pure hatred of A&M comes from, but I've read this same article before, written by anti-Aggies with some stupid agenda. Never are any of the articles factual and never do they make sense.

Further, since Rome never said he had been there, I could turn the question back on you -- how do you know he has?
