Haven’t heard an attendance report so I’m just eyeballing it, but Elko appears to have a bigger crowd tonight in College Station than the typical crowd at Wallace Wade.

But he has to live in College Station. With full respect to all of our veterans here, but unless you go to an academy, I'm not sure why you wear your military uniform to a college football game.

lol. Yeah, I am looking at the full, rabid crowd and thinking “Of course he left Duke to go to A&M”. But then I think of the stress and how overweight he is and I just hope he has a good cardiologist.

Plus living in College Station.
 
Earlier in the game, they did a little graphic of "Elko's Kitchen". It said in 22-23, Duke had eight 4 and 5 star recruits. Can anyone tell me who those mythical players were?

IDK. I can’t decide if i want to cheer against Elko or Leonard.

I’m not bitter, but I guess I’m rooting for Leonard being terrible, and getting pulled for QB2 who leads them to victory, and the first loss of an 0-13 season for Elko, then ND QB2 becomes QB1 for the rest of the year. Yes, that would be satisfying.

The Corps are not “military.” Even the Aggies only go so far as “military-style.” Aggies are beyond weird.

So it is like The Citadel or VMI where it is "military" but not affiliated with the United States Government, Department of Defense, etc.? So confusing.

I'm sure Elko as a Penn grad from NJ fits in really well there.

Yes, those are the most similar pretend-military student-body systems.
 
A&M is Army ROTC, so anyone in the program has to wear the uniform on campus, and is subject to military discipline. I got shipped off to military school in high school and had a couple of Aerospace Science teachers who went to A&M before joining the military out of college. The academic requirements are not as rigorous as the service academies at the 6 SMCs across the country, but the discipline certainly isn’t soft.

The Corps is not ROTC, period, full-stop. They are required to take some ROTC courses, and upon graduation have the option to be commissioned as military officers, but they do not have to sign ROTC contracts, or agree to serve,

Yes, that is correct. A big difference from West Point or Annapolis.
