College kids are not rational, Leinart stayed, Ricky stayed, Peyton stayed, all this before NIL existed. Today it is potentially rational with NIL you can most definitely match a rookie contract had we been talking Vince in 05 (and he is here to tell them how much he regrets leaving early), With Brady playing into his mid 40s the rational thing for a QB is to set himself up for that kind of success (getting an extra year of that second contract is peanuts). It means learning the game to perfection, whether Sark can sell that to Arch or Ewers is the key to retaining them for more years (and NIL).

Charlie Strong gutted his own roster the first year, imagine self imposed sanctions over a little weed... But the savants at Shaggy lapped it all up.

I absolutely adore that their best season in forever was at the helm of BLM Mond and the little pretend nazis boycotted A&M that season, only to come back to 8-4.

I cannot believe that the smartest poster on this issue in all of the CFBsphere is Ag77, dude makes a lot of sense. I don't think it was a pure mercenary move but a decision made long ago, but he wanted to troll people in the process, including his fake top 5.

Meh, got negbombed banned from Shaggy for telling people we needed to get rid of Strong by his third game in (BYU blowout), sure as hell did not back down, all forums have sensitive pussies.

The best part about NIL is that aggy is suffering the same pain cartels have, bags of cash are still peanuts compared to wired money, money that does not need to be laundered.

This level of serene resignation is something I have been grappling with ever since the golden escalator nightmare, it is fundamentally immoral to allow fascism to exist, their brains are wired for hate, like an opioid addict is wired for a hit, their physiology is wired for doing evil. Chamberlain was a clown that singlehandedly destroyed the anti-fascist coalition before the annexation of Czechoslovakia, it is the same shit we are seeing today, too many people having the debate as to whether it is moral to punch a Nazi, when the real debate is whether it is moral to not punch a Nazi. The only way stable solution is post war German state, arrest them all. Everything else is waiting for the next stochastic terrorism, waiting for the next half-assed coup attempt to actually succeed.

Said it a million times before, haters will never have enjoyed the 05 season, as much as I did, and I will always have that smug superiority.

Nobody should hate Strong nor Mack, frankly I claim that all this talk of "stealing" is more disturbing than anything they ever did it takes two to tango and they were offered that salary in part for recruiting reasons (imagine the negative recruiting if your coach is considering the program as a stepping stone), same with the Earl quote, you would think it was Mack literally stabbing him in the back the way some people here reacted to it. In the end this virulent overreaction is counter productive, objectively asses the coaches and make cold empirical decisions based on qualified candidates out there, the idea that you have to turn the fanbase into a violent mob in order to fire a coach is the way you end up in a death spiral like Aggie, Tennessee and Nebraska is in right now. If you can't upgrade then don't fire the coach, no matter how much he is "stealing" OU and OSU identified coaching talent and continued their process, not saying there is no luck involved but intelligence helps you minimize the randomness.

I do not promote asshole culture, and this thing hurts us all in the long run beyond fucking football. If he wants to instill toughness, then lead by example, also be smart about it, not just spout asshole bullshit to the media that other assholes identify with, agree, clap to, and vote for. BTW I am not personally accusing you of anything

Why wait Cassandra? Cause it is a useless gesture.

I hope the team quits on him.

I still cant believe how anybody could have been fooled by Strong so completely in 2014, I wanted him gone by week 2 and got a negrep ban because people are emotionally blind and unstable. One day I should just change my name to Cassandra.

The NCAA is likely investigating A&M people need to stop with the wild conspiracy theories and cynical rants that undermine the only judge left to police cheating. Arguments for: A) Marchiol left a turd bomb, and now that he is no longer looking for a waiver since he is in FCS land his testimony looks more valid. B) Investigations take time and are done outside the public eye. Arguments against: A) They are spending all their resources investigating the basketball scandal B) A&M might actually stop cheating so no new evidence is found C) They lose the stomach to do anything after the Missouri fuckup. In the end, it will be the evidence or lack of thereof that might save A&M, not mentorship or friendship. The NCAA is on life support and trying to justify their fat paychecks.

People love hating for some reason.

If OU disregards Texas it is because of the stupid system, what if we lost to a rival 50% of the time but the committee, polls, media ignored it every time and gave you a mulligan? THAT is Alabama and OU right now.

I have not changed. I did not give up, and frankly googled his name multiple times hoping for the best because A) I would not find the info here B) ultimately human beings make emotional decisions, specially kids. What I did not like was the fuckup. Not this bizarre industry.

The difference is I am not a fly in the wall that fucks up.

This is so silly, they make proclamations based on 50/50 calls, but have no dignity to keep an open tally sheet. They almost fucked up a transfer, but who knows if you also were partially responsible for Bru keeping an open mind these past 2 weeks. It's a fucking mess and the truth is not known. However I will proclaim what is factual and objective. EJ tried to claim credit on a scoop but failed to keep a lid on it. It is for that failure for which he should be punished. Not for the past but for the future.

Windows now has Ubuntu bash. But I am certain it is still a kiddie pool.

Now now no need to bring me up in little spats here and there. We are all idiots in the end for caring, no need to feel bad about it.

I question the loyalty of anybody asking UT to cheat, more so when it is so damn open and blatant, this is arguably worse than the fucking animals that uttered "Big Swinging Dicks" 8 years ago. The NCAA has all the power to destroy any program permanently, and if you think otherwise you are just delusional.

And nothing is colder than absolute zero.

I am not saying he will recover his shot or form, just that the FT hot potato smack is overrated

I hope the make CFP head assholes all sweat with lawsuits and congressional probes.
