Some thoughts on this inanity . . . 1. The whole Schloss to TAMU from TCU sequence is misunderstood. Schloss was absolutely beloved at TCU, and proved what an awesome coach he was. But TCU was not devastated to see him leave. It was a good transition. The situation had actually soured the year before. Reports at the time were that his marriage had actually bottomed out the year before, and he did more than flirt with MissSU the year before. The reports at the time indicated that he had actually accepted the MissSU job, and then got convinced to come back. The MissSU fanbase was extremely salty about that, and viewed it as reneging on the deal. From that point on, the TCU situation was very tenuous. He coached another year at TCU, but it was a very strange year. His heart wasn't really in it, and it seemed that his personal situation in FW was not great. When TAMU came calling, TCU admin and fans were fine with it, and felt they had an awesome replacement in Saarloos. Schloss had done a great job mentoring him, and he was ready for the job. Schloss also didn't raid TCU's team on the way out. Saarloos and other key assistants stayed. Key players stayed. It was a good transition. Schloss was grateful for his time at TCU, was grateful that TCU admin, fans, and boosters had delivered on what they promised (massive stadium rebuild, indoor practice facilities, etc., etc.). TCU admin, fans, and boosters were also grateful for Schloss for completely reinventing TCU baseball, and understanding of his leaving. Saarloos is a good coach--it does not appear that he is as good as Schloss, but the transition was done well, and he was the right guy. Schloss leaving TAMU is massively different. It does not look like he ever really liked the culture, and it really looks like he was fed up with TAMU admin and boosters. Despite the grandiose promises of a Listeria Park rebuild, nothing has actually been delivered. 2. So at the core, it looks like there were four reasons CDC was able to pull off the Schloss deal. First, the absolute positives of UT. On its face, UT is a premier job, even without being compared to TAMU. Although I think Mac Engel is a joke of a journalist, his column had it correct--if UT baseball calls, just about anyone is going to answer. Second, Schloss never bought into TAMU, and was soured there. That's their own fault, and they can't recognize that. Third, Schloss's relationship with CDC was obviously a significant factor. And fourth, Alberts is a terrible AD, and was completely snookered in the whole thing. 3. It appears that TAMU fans have massively underestimated the effect of the Jimbo buyout on the overall TAMU athletics program. Despite crowing about being richer and having more resources than big brother tu, it really looks like the Jimbo buyout has strapped the athletics program. Boosters are tapped out, especially for a non-revenue program like baseball. Overpaying for coaches and facilities in football can actually make some financial sense, with the revenue that comes from football. But baseball is a money loser for the university. 4. It's simply amazing to me that no one has been held accountable for the Jimbo fiasco. Bjork actually got promoted to tOSU. Sharp is Sharp. Everyone that was in the same room with that extension should have been strapped to a SpaceX booster and jettisoned into the sun. The blind loyalty to the idiots that made the Jimbo decisions absolutely guarantees that they'll continue to have the same results. 5. The blind loyalty to and wagon-circling around Looch is similarly mystifying. He continually lies to and berates his constituents. And they made him a millionaire in return. It's bizzare. But fun to watch.

Will be when the tacklebox collapses like bonfire.

All right. Roll ‘em back up.

Let me put it in your timeline. Remember when you were a boy and Paris stole Helen and took her back to Troy, then the Greeks went and utterly destroyed Troy, getting Helen back? Well, now TAMU is Troy, Schloss is Helen, and CDC just completely punked TAMU/Troy, leaving it decimated, and brought Helen/Schloss back to Austin.

Schloss quit in April. And then somehow TAMU had the most successful May and June in school history, and came within one out of winning it all. Imagine what they could have done if he didn’t quit!

Jinx you owe me a coke.

So Schloss threw the CWS and the game last night. More wins in one week in Omaha than TAMU has had in their history. One missed tag away from at least extra innings. Managed to pull back to within one run, one out of beating the favorite and bringing TAMU their first major championship since 1939. But sure, he threw the game. Sue him. Get the discovery. Never change, Aggie.

I can’t take it. I’ve overdosed on Aggie tears and there is no narcan for that. I’m coding out and will see y’all on the other side.

No, AM does not give live reports, in particular speed traps. What I’ve started playing with is using AM for the actual navigation, but leaving Waze open in the background. I still get the speed trap reports. Nice side benefit is that AM actually integrates with my truck’s nav, so I get the heads-up next-turn prompt on my dashboard, not just on the map display. Google/Waze don’t do that. I found this out by accident.

But where is Bert?

So that’s where bukake started.

I think it’s just lagged data. Users that drove through there sometime in the recent past. I used to swear by Waze. But I’ve seen a few articles recently comparing Waze, Google Maps, and Apple Maps, which concluded that AM actually has improved to the point that it has superior routing algorithms with better results. Yes, I’m aware that Waze is a Google company now.

Everybody’s enjoying Aggie tears this morning, right?

Yes, I usually do with the CWS. But didn't this year because TAMU.

Thanks. I also went back and looked at the previous page. Of course it's all hands on deck for all the marbles. I appreciate your response.

It’s like you’ve never been to Wichita Falls. Or San Angelo. Or Midland-Odessa. Or Corsicana. Or Waco. Or El Paso. Or Seminole. Or Lubbock. Or Post.

What kind of shape are the respective bullpens of UTe and TAMU in? I haven’t watched any of the CWS because none of the teams I follow are in it.

Someone send that poor child a plate of cheeseburgers ASAP.
