I can laugh -- and I am -- since I don't pay taxes in Texas.

Didn't they make cylinders to test the concrete as they built the structure?

Here's some perspective ... the total amount of money spent on that stadium wouldn't fund the deficit in ObamaCare/SS/Medicare/Medicaid for a half hour.

"Houston-based PBK Architects has denied the problems are a result of any flaws in its design. Pogue Construction in McKinney, which built the stadium, has declined to speculate on the problem but says it's working with the district to resolve the matter."

It was just a joke, I know that Texas companies built that place they where all Aggies which could explain the current situation.

I am just busting some chops thats all.

In all seriousness it is a huge problem and its a shame that our tax dollars went to build something so nice that can not ever be used.

SHAME!!!

If it was a joke, then it doesnt make sense. Anyways, does this mean TA&M cares more about funding football than it does its engineer department?

It's just money. BO has taught us, like Killary said, what does it matter.

Practice makes perfect. You also learn more from your mistakes than you do from your successes.
