  1. There is no upside to trolling your 'little brother'? *Gestures broadly at this board*
  2. We are aligned. I'm not convinced that the timing of the firing announcement, right before our big game and not right after y'all got bounced from the CWS, was not done intentionally to poke A&M in the eye for the lolz.
  3. Or...your AD, the same guy taking a picture at a graveyard at Snook, might not be above making moves that may not portray his professionalism in the best light. You don't think your AD has a petty bone in his body and that this was handled with all class?
  4. Our AD is absolutely not above reproach for a number of irresponsible decisions and a culture that continues to allow it to happen. We're not above self-reflection. But A&M is not responsible for killing the Pac-12 and last I checked no Aggies were on SCOTUS to decide NIL, two things that will likely cause the market share of college sports to decrease YoY.
  5. The decision had been made long ago...but also only Pierce leaked it right after he found out. SI and Orangebloods rumor mill run right away. Hmm...yea, seems legit. Just a miscommunication.
  6. Mostly here to lurk. Real talk from an A&M fan. No beating around the bush, this was getting our heart ripped out of our chest. It sucks. Looking at the way the press conference was handled and the timing of the Pierce firing and rumor literally as our team is playing for it all, I'm not sure how y'all can spin that as anything other than, at minimum, could have been handled better and more professionally, but hey, at least y'all got to own the aggys and drink our tears. Looking ahead, the cupboard is probably going to be bare next year. That said, we have money, we NIL resources, and we GAF about college athletics. We'll be back in Omaha within the decade if not sooner, given how the new rules will make it easier to quickly buy our own mercenaries. And zooming out, if your squad next year is 100% of our coaches and 40% of our players wearing burnt orange instead of maroon, I don't see how that's good for the long term health of college sports. That's much bigger than an A&M/UT issue. But buying out most of your rivals makes caring about connections that the players have to their universities much more tenuous, and now we're absolutely watching a minor league with no salary cap or rules. Why watch watch the minor leagues when someone can watch the pros instead?
  7. You may have taken our coach, but that doesn't mean shit until you beat us. Y'all lost like bitches in College Station and we finished the season playing for all the marbles. It's not like the NIL pool and salary kitty at A&M are coming in light, we'll take this one on the chin and be fine. Enjoy your mercenary coach. I'm still looking forward to beating your asses again the years to come.
