    look man. there is no upside to that. the much, much, much bigger story is him winning the CWS, then Texas hiring him out of literal nowhere the day after the CWS is over.

    There is no upside to trolling your 'little brother'?  *Gestures broadly at this board*

    Dude, CDC drug his nuts over y’all’s face. That’s how I would describe it. 

    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.

    idk what to tell you but if you think the decision to fire Pierce was made that day and handled that poorly you haven't been paying any attention to CDC or how things are done.

    again, there was a single person who benefited from leaking it. one. it was David Pierce.

    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?

    Your football team bought an entire class with Hefty bags full of cash and your fan base  chest-thumped for years afterward about how you had more money than anyone, including Texas.  There is no school more responsible for this current state of athletics, than your own.  If you can acknowledge that and still believe that college sports are in jeopardy, then peace.  But if you think TAMU is somehow above it and not largely responsible for it, then you're lying to yourself and everyone else.

    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.

    why people don't understand 1) Pierce decision had been made and he was gone and that 2) the only person who had a reason to leak it was Pierce not CDC confuses the hell out of me.

    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.

    Post up @The Valtay Corporation, I see you are in this thread right now!🤣

    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?

    I can't stop laughing.  I mean, this is the funniest play I can recall in Texas sports history.

    -- we shit the bed in the regular season and especially the conference tournament

    -- we get sent to the College Station regional as a 3 seed

    -- we get summarily dismissed, so everyone figures Pierce will immediately get fired

    -- crickets

    -- super regionals and the CWS continue on, and most of us who aren't idiots figure out what's happening

    -- it ends up A&M v UTenn, the two teams coached by arguably our top two targets "if we fire Pierce" (nudge nudge wink wink)

    -- we wait until it's Game 3 winner take all and FIRE PIERCE THAT MORNING

    -- A&M shits the bed but almost pulls it out

    -- we hire their coach

     

    Holy smokes, there is no longer any question anywhere who is big brother and who is little brother.  

    Like I said, I can't stop laughing.  Life is good.  Dumbasses.

    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.
