  1. Oh, and as this Memorial Day weekend, here's a story for you. "For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty, while participating on a bombing mission over enemy-occupied continental Europe, 28 July 1943. Prior to reaching the German coast on the way to the target, the B-17 airplane in which 2d Lt. Morgan was serving as copilot was attacked by a large force of enemy fighters, during which the oxygen system to the tail, waist, and radio gun positions was knocked out. A frontal attack placed a cannon shell through the windshield, totally shattering it, and the pilot's skull was split open by a .303-caliber shell, leaving him in a crazed condition. The pilot fell over the steering wheel, tightly clamping his arms around it. Second Lt. Morgan at once grasped the controls from his side and, by sheer strength, pulled the airplane back into formation despite the frantic struggles of the semiconscious pilot. The interphone had been destroyed, rendering it impossible to call for help. At this time the top turret gunner fell to the floor and down through the hatch with his arms shot off at the shoulder and a gaping wound in his side. The waist, tail, and radio gunners had lost consciousness from lack of oxygen and, hearing no fire from their guns, the copilot believed they had bailed out. The wounded pilot still offered desperate resistance in his crazed attempts to fly the airplane. There remained the prospect of flying to and over the target and back to a friendly base wholly unassisted. In the face of this desperate situation, 2d Lt. Morgan made his decision to continue the flight and protect any members of the crew who might still be in the ship and for two hours he flew in formation with one hand at the controls and the other holding off the struggling pilot before the navigator entered the steering compartment and relieved the situation. The miraculous and heroic performance of 2d Lt. Morgan on this occasion resulted in the successful completion of a vital bombing mission and the safe return of his airplane and crew." https://www.cmohs.org/recipients/john-c-morgan If you have ever seen the movie "12 O'Clock High" this is the story that is recounted in the opening scene at the airbase. The paragraph above is from the Medal of Honor citation of UT Austin alumnus John Morgan. When aggys insist UT alumni never fought for their country and "sipped tea" while only aggys fought in the nation's wars, it is the service of men such as John Morgan they mockingly denigrate. And Frank Denius. And Russell Steindam. And many, many others. The people of Texas deserve better than Texas A&M.
  2. I may have to consider starting another "aggy traditions $1,000,000 challenge" to go along with the challenge for any aggy (or non-aggy) to explain exacty which game in 1907 their "Yell leader" tradition originated. I point out not a penny of that $1,000,000 has been claimed in the almost five years since the challenge was first offered. The second one might have to be for the aggys to explain just which year(s) "when there were no scholarship limitations Royal handed out more to everyone so that the other schools barely got any." The alumni of Texas A&M are some of the dumbest people ever to have attended a trade school. They literally cannot discern between fact and fairy tale. "nu awlins ag In reply to up-n-aTm • 12:46p, 5/28/22 AG Tu perfected it back in the day when there were no scholarship limitations. Royal handed out more to everyone so that the other schools barely got any. Once A&M started beating them, they couldn't take it as they thought they had the right to win everything. Funny how that is no longer the case…." https://texags.com/forums/5/topics/3291636/replies/62153056
  3. I see the ags are whipping out their searing game time kickoff smack. I don't have the heart to show them what an NFL schedule looks like. I'll let the aggys keep believing that "real teams" aren't playing football at noon. But I have both figured out why there are no successful professional aggy golfers and why all the "prime time" tee times at golf courses in College Station are fully booked at 7:30pm on weekends. sheep.mp4
  4. They do intend to take over my birth city by investing in some sort of diploma mill branch or something like that..I avoided reading the article. They intended to build a legitimate post-secondary educational institution in College Station and ended up building a trade school. I wouldn't worry about your birth city. Unless you think another trade school will be problematic.
  5. I think the thing about Colonial that surprises most aggys is that not all golf courses smell of untreated sewage.
  6. Walked the course at Colonial this morning. Shockingly, no a single mention of Texas A&M anywhere on the course. BOMC strikes again.
  7. spettro Texas A&M Fan Member since Aug 2021 79 posts TexAgs is extremely important in NIL activities moving forward. The co-owner of the site is a lawyer, and they did a lot of research to legally set up the NIL-sponsoring Membership added to their site this year. This is all public info and it was approved by A&M compliance. This NIL-level membership is called Stacked. Alumni pay monthly fees (technically donations) to the Stacked fund, then TexAgs uses these funds to produce exclusive media content with current A&M players. The reason TexAgs works profitably well is the level of commitment from alumni to organize and support Texas A&M athletics - this in the form of monthly membership for regular content, and now, NIL-level content. TexAgs has a radio/TV studio in College Station where they broadcast a daily radio/TV show for 3 straight hours. They also do tons of exclusive interviews across all sports. TexAgs also works well because we have over half a million living alumni, with the majority being supportive of A&M athletics post graduation. This is why we are winning the NIL race. I have said it several times here - go ahead and copy the business model, but it will be hard to match the monthly subscriptions year round. https://www.secrant.com/rant/sec-football/do-aandm-fans-like-billy-liucci/102602757/page-3/#lp
  8. "History is one of them thar "lib'rel arts." We don't study that them lib'rel things here at this here trade school. We studies impertent conservative stuf here. Like Agricultural Leadership. And Park Ranger Studies. And Chicken Farmin. You knows, the kind of shit it takes years and years to lern. And that's after three years at Blinn. What's that? You says we is making the same dumbfuck mistakes as others and that we shud be have lernt from histery? You is sip! We aggy don't not lern from no histery. You owes me fer yer liberty. Don't you talk 'bout no lernin' of histery. Did I tell you nun you ever made any sacrifice fer yur cuntry? Only aggys. I were teeched that in the Corps! We is active militery. We really is. Whoop! Trapped under logs you says? Billy Liucci telled me it ain't never happened. You is jist butthurt sip! Git off my sacred grass. Sul Ross is my he-ro. White power!" The people of Texas deserve better than Texas A&M.
  9. Lol. $3 or $5? I'm tired of $3 dollar aggy bus station skanks not being able to make change. Not because they don't have any $1s, but because aggy skanks have so much trouble being able to do the math to make change. And not all aggy bus station skanks are women. One desperate aggy fuck was openly soliciting his ability to make change for e $5 note.
  10. I'd have more respect for Jimbo if he didn't allow himself to get drawn into meaningless distractions and kept his focus on the actual objective of his being hired in the first place.
  11. Always a man of integrity and journalistic ethics, Billy Liucci is threatening to expose bias in sports reporting. Fucking hilarious. And people said that Texags receiving a federal bailout to avoid bankruptcy was a waste of taxpayer funds.
  12. Jimbo Fisher has a new 10yr, nearly $100 million contract that kicks in this year. He has well over 100 million reasons to lie through his teeth about what is going on inside his program. It is not a crime to lie to the media. Jimbo Fisher has never been a man of integrity, but rather has always been a man of opportunity. These kids are being given more money than they ever dreamed of. The kids caught up in this scandal are unquestionably being taught by one of "the pros" how to lie about unquestionably unethical and possibly illegal activities. This type of "education" is nothing new to a program run by Jimbo Fisher. Jimbo has essentially admitted he has personally been aware of and participating in such unethical and possibly illegal activities at least dating back to when he was an assistant under Nick Saban at LSU. If this level of financial impropriety is going on at A&M, bet money the improprieties are far deeper than just financial and that A&M senior administrators are as involved in covering up the other elements of the scandal as they were when Johnny Manziel was running roughshod over any semblance of institutional control of Texas A&M athletics. Bet money the long-term best interests of the athletes at A&M are being completely disregarded, just as the long-term best interests of Johnny Manziel were completely disregarded. If you think Johnny Manziel represents how A&M destroys human potential, just wait until this scandal plays out. The truth of all this will come out, probably by of a kid who because of injury or lack of development will have his "gravy train" cut off. That is how SMU began to unravel. That Jimbo supposedly knows nothing about the A&M collective's operations, yet knows extremely detailed information about its activities, tells anyone all they need to know about how involved Jimbo Fisher is in unquestionably unethical and possibly illegal activities. If someone accused me of doing something despicable, such as being an aggy, I would laugh because I know the truth. Jimbo isn't laughing. He's sweating, stammering, and his every answer is offered in the high pitch voice of someone feigning false outrage. Because he knows the truth. We all know what's going on in college football in general, and at Texas A&M in particular. The people of Texas deserve better than Texas A&M.
  13. The Southeastern Conference was founded by men who believe(d) unequivocally that the labor of black men should be sold to the highest bidder at auction. We all knew that before "our university leadership" decided we should "become one of them." Why is anyone having any problem with the proposition of the labor of black men being sold to the highest bidder now under the guise of NIL? Sul Ross was a white supremacist. He believed black men were not human, but rather a mere commodity. To be an aggy is to venerate Sul Ross. To venerate Sul Ross is to believe without reservation in "the supremacy of the white man." Why are we still arguing about aggys paying for the labor of black men at auction? Are we offended that the sale of the labor of black men to the highest bidder is happening, or are we feigning outrage just because black men are finally reaping a small fraction of the financial rewards? Let’s be honest. Texas A&M is where one goes to venerate Sul Ross. Period. Not where one goes for a literary education, and not where any black athlete goes because he wants a quality education. All Jimbo and Nick are bitching about is who was the highest bidder, not what was in the best interest of any individual athlete. Both of them are insisting the labor of the black man is a commodity. They are only bitching about the price.
  14. A man needs to know his limitations. I at least commend you for acknowledging your chihuahua as your equal. Each individual university system usually has its "flagship" institution. The only instance I can point to of a "flagship" institution of a university system being unquestionably subordinate to branch institutions of another in-state university system is Texas A&M - College Station, which is flagship of the A&M system and also a branch institution of The University of Texas at Austin (not a recognized branch of The University of Texas System). In the hierarchy of higher education in Texas, both Texas A&M and the Texas A&M System, as branch institutions of The University of Texas at Austin, would be subordinate to UTSA, UTEP, UTD, etc, which are individual branch institutions of The University of Texas System, not branch institutions of a component of The University of Texas System. As we well know, I have long advocated for Texas A&M - College Station and the entire Texas A&M System to become a constitutionally independent university system and no longer a branch of the flagship institution of The University of Texas System, buy aggys evidently feel such independence would be beyond their abilities to properly administer.
  15. As long as what the aggys claim as "their" endowment is under the exclusive control of The Board of Regents of The University of Texas, Texas A&M College Station isn't the flagship of anything.
  16. The "flagship" is the best or most important thing owned or produced by a particular organization. Flagship universities are the central university of a branch university system in which the senior system administrators are found. The age of the institution means nothing.
  17. aggy ignorance is your answer. They don't teach government to students at the state's trade school. Government is considered under the umbrella of "Liberal Arts" which aggy administrators consider offensive to aggy "conservative values." Not surprisingly, aggys also consider "education" to be incompatible with "aggy values" under similar reasoning.
  18. Right up there with the letter written by the “Florida fan” who went to see UF play aggy at Kyle and by the end of the game was both breathless over the grandeur of aggy culture and glad his team lost because A&M deserved to win the game. Complete fucking idiots. I will give 12-1 odds (swidt?) not a single fan of another team feels Jimbo is now their new “favorite coach” based on Jimbo’s tirade this morning.
  19. “It's funny to hear so many non-Aggie football fans that are now saying Jimbo is their favorite coach. Will end up being a strong PR move for us, and if you are a potential recruit how could you not get a hard on thinking about playing for him.” https://texags.com/forums/5/topics/3289882/last#last
  20. Liucci claiming Saban's "bitch ass" didn't answer Jimbo's call last night. Jimbo claiming Saban called him but Jimbo refused at answer. This is why redneck inbred fights are so entertaining. Not a single person seems to have a clue actually happened, but they are SURE they has been wronged! Maybe Liucci can explain why Jimbo's "bitch ass" didn't answer Saban's call if Jimbo wanted to talk to him so badly.
  21. The nation actually lost the war that coincided with A&M's 16 losing seasons in 17 years. Unless you are referring to the Cold War which, predictably, the ags claim they won all by themselves. We know this because, according to the aggys, the CIA publishes regular reports on which colleges and universities its agents attended.
  22. From secrant. They got a number of details right, but left out the fact that at halftime of aggy’s first official game ever they quit at halftime. ”Don’t judge aggy when they forfeit/cancel or quit. It’s just one of their traditions that aggy established over 120 years ago. Here’s the story as described by the Austin Democratic Statesman, the main newspaper in Austin in the late 1800’s:… The Cadets, led by player/coach F.D. Perkins, traveled to Austin's Hyde Park on Oct. 19, 1894 for the UT squad's season opener. Reportedly, Texas A&M won the coin toss. It was the high point of the game for the visiting team. The Cadets fumbled the opening kickoff and Texas' "Varsity" scored two plays later. It only got worse from there. The final score was Texas 38, Texas A&M 0 -- a score made even more humiliating by the fact touchdowns only earned four points in that era. ***The Texas A&M football squad was so demoralized by the defeat they scrapped the remainder of the schedule except for a contest against Galveston Ball high School six weeks later.*** The school didn't field another team until 1896 and they wouldn't play Texas again until 1898. That produced an even worse outcome, a 48-0 defeat in Austin - the largest margin of victory in the history of the rivalry.“ https://www.secrant.com/rant/sec-football/its-one-of-aggys-sacred-traditions-since-1894/102509636/
  23. "QB1 7:34a AG Fake news - post office would never deliver something short on postage, that would be in the trash somewhere and not on the dudes desk…terrible troll job" https://texags.com/forums/5/topics/3289412/replies/62064497 Newsflash, my white trash friend - Yes, USPS will deliver to the address even with postage due. I personally received such a package last week. Yet again, the "aggy education" at work. They make up a "fact" insist it has to be true because, well they made it up, how can it be wrong? The rest shall we say, is turdition. "Guessing is cheap, but guessing wrong can be expensive." - ancient Chinese proverb never taught to aggys.
