I actually love College Station it?s the perfect size and the town is all about the aggies
Knoxville is one of the bigger SEC metros.

An LSU doctor who is involved with athletics told my neighbor a month ago it would probably be Bianco.

It's fourth after Nashville, Baton Rouge, and Lexington. I think Starkville and Oxford are at the low end of good size college towns. I think getting bigger than 100k tends to make college towns worse. Or maybe just less college towns.

Athens ain't a small college town anymore - at least not like it was. There are 130,000 people in Athens now making it almost as big as Savannah and Macon. It only had 45,000 people in 1990.
Honestly, it has made Athens a headache to get around in and I hate going there game weekends.
