True storey: About 10 years ago, I had a young engineer that worked for me. He was from Kazakhstan and had gone to Texas A&M and graduated near the top of his class. Great guy and a very good engineer. I asked him if he had ever been out of Kazakhstan before going to Texas A&M and he said no. I asked him what he thought the US was going to be like and what his first reaction was when he got there. He told me his idea of the US was based on movies and TV shows and he basically thought the US was like New York City and everyone had a gun. I asked him what he thought when he arrived in College Station and he said he thought he was back in Kazakhstan.
BTW, Welcome to the SEC! LSU and A&M have a long history, dating back to the first game in 1899, which A&M won 52-0. The more recent history is a bit more to my liking. I've yet to attend a game in College Station, but I've heard nothing but good things about the Aggie fans and student body.
