There's been a shitload of youtube and "influencers" who have made it retro cool again over the last few years.  I get what you are saying, but there's lots on youngsters with old day dates these days. 

meanwhile you have AP trying to appeal to the kids and failing spectacularly

I would like to take this opportunity to offer a blanket apology to this board and those who participate in this thread.
Every off season, somebody comes in here and predicts that A&M is going to completely shit the bed, go 4-7 and have their recruiting class completely implode. And every year I chime in with something along the lines of, "You're just wishcasting. They'll end up 8-4 like they always do with their bullshit schedule and have a top 10 recruiting class."
Well Mr. Aggie naysayer, you beautiful magnificent bastard, you hit it directly on the fucking screws this season. Congratulations. I should have never doubted you.

You should buy your wife something nice.

Accepting an apology has never felt so good.

Seeing that Anthony Hill was in College Station for the Florida game I'm assuming his decommit is related to hearing from the other guys already there that there will indeed be a mass exodus from last years class. 

Adding that we saw last portal season that top WR's were high dollar items. I would envision not just Stewart but Moose looking for an exit as well. That would open up Weigman looking around going why the hell would I stay behind this bad line, losing Achane and my top receivers...

In at least one of the screenshots in the other thread the mouth-breathers are saying that current players are talking a lot of shit to recruits about getting out while they can.

He watched their defense. 

They have almost non-existent linebacker play right now.

Hicks being so vocal about our scheme seems like total bullshit unless his family is just dumb or using that as a cover up for $. 

OU and A&M fans have been vocal about their defensive coordinators running way too much 3 man fronts this year. Neither of those schools offer an advantage over Texas with scheme.

Also for those who don't normally read the screenshot thread:  Bobby Taylor's dad has apparently been all over IG talking shit about the program and that despite Bobby being so involved in recruiting the #1 class he has no relationship with Fisher.  Also, Anthony Hill didn't mention Fisher in his decommit.

This.  Watch tape of this years DL and you'll see them rushing upfield nearly every down.  Last years 2-gap is dead.

OU's d-line has regressed to the point that they can't get lined up right at this point. If OU played the run as badly as they did vs UT, they win over Baylor.

Not a great selling point for defensive line recruits at this point.

So out of curiosity how “oh fuck, you got to be kidding me” do these story coming out of aggy have to be for Gerry to write that?

 

Like major coverups, massive portals that is known internally in the program, or like kids willing to sell out aggy to get the fuck out of there with no repercussions?

Probably all of the above

Their complaints about our scheme had some merit last season, but not this year, so hopefully they’ve kept paying attention.

Liucci: Jimbo Fisher's extension will be another 'bargain' for Texas A&M

Key notes from Billy Liucci interview

  • You're going to see this contract be 10 years, starting from now, with an average right around $9 million per year. You're starting the existing deal over with a significant raise to make him the second-highest paid coach in the SEC behind Nick Saban and one of the highest-paid in college football.
  • This is a great deal. We're going to look at it again as a great bargain. We've been talking about it for the last three years and how wrong people were the first time. Now they're doing it again. People don't seem to understand the no-buyout thing, and that makes me laugh. The buyout is $9 million a year, $90 million guaranteed.
  • Nick Saban doesn't look like he's going to retire anytime soon, but say Alabama comes after Jimbo Fisher in three years when Saban is done. That's the only school that could take Fisher with the money that Texas A&M is paying. If Alabama does that, it means the next three years have been really good in Aggieland.
  • A buyout does nothing. When was the last time a school didn't hire a coach they wanted because of a buyout? Do you think a one-year buyout, another $9 million, would keep A&M from going to get a coach? The buyout is $90 million. It also keeps the coach here. It's like the SEC not having a grant of rights. The SEC basically says, "You want to leave? Go."
  • I don't think there is any danger of Fisher leaving. The danger is losing money. If it doesn't work, you lose money. Everyone is making a big deal about it, but it's like me and Olin living in the same neighborhood. If I saw him driving a Maserati, that's Olin's business. Not mine. The way the media is acting would be like me walking around the neighborhood calling Olin an idiot for spending that money on a car. Who's the idiot in that scenario?
  • A&M is three years into this, and they have a pretty good idea of what they're investing in. People are saying it's only one good year, but it's not. It's one great year and three years of progress. Jimbo's first year was a nice, strong season. They finished ranked and won a bowl game, playing great football at the end of the year. His third year was a top-five finish, an Orange Bowl championship and a legitimate argument to be in the playoff.
  • In 12 years as a coach, Fisher has a national title, a playoff berth and another top-five finish. He probably has five top-ten finishes in 12 years to go along with that. At what point do you look at that resume and say that Fisher is an elite head coach in this game? He is. It's not debatable. Texas A&M has a coach that is among the very best, the top five, in this game.
  • If you look at what Fisher is doing in recruiting and don't feel extremely confident in your investment, I don't know what to tell you.
  • Regarding the timing, coaches don't like negotiating during the season. What if Texas A&M reached the playoff this year and LSU spiraled? I think Texas A&M did the right thing. We got our guy, and he's locked up for as long as he wants to coach.
  • This guy won a national title. He won 27 of 28 games with Jameis Winston in 2013 and 2014. People want to say it was all Winston, but you can't take away a guy's best player. If you take away Vince Young, what did Mack Brown do? Take away Joe Burrow, Ed O doesn’t win a championship.
  • I know what Dan Mullen has done, and I know what Jim Harbaugh has done. What in the hell have they done that Jimbo hasn't done? Mullen won a New Year's Six game, and Florida caught some criticism for that extension. The blowback shows how big the spotlight is on Texas A&M and Jimbo Fisher.
  • For the people that say A&M isn't relevant, you're hearing most of that from Texas, Oklahoma and some from LSU. They're whining fake tough guys.
  • If you say a negative thing about Oklahoma, the Sooners go insane. Somebody asked me if I'd rather have Lincoln Riley or Jimbo at Texas A&M, at the answer is Jimbo. Riley is a good coach, but he coaches in a league where he has five times the talent as anybody he plays. They're both good coaches, but it's apples to oranges. Jimbo Fisher is a great fit at Texas A&M.
  • Texas might be the most delusional fanbase in American sports. They're loud on Twitter. They get these talking points, and no matter how bad their team is or how good things are going in College Station, they cannot come off their talking points. How much money did they pay to fire Herman and hire Steve Sarkisian? We know what Sark has done. You want to boil it down to Fisher not winning a title in three years? You spent $75 million to hire Sarkisian.
  • LSU is just scared. They had that great year and smoked the Aggies in 2019, but they've lost two of three to Texas A&M. Jimbo Fisher is the guy they've tried to hire twice. Ed Orgeron is a trainwreck of a coach, and they know it. They were hoping they could possibly hire Fisher at some point, and the Aggies just put up a wall around College Station.
  • A day ago, what was the big cry coming out of Austin, Baton Rouge and Norman? That Fisher would be in Baton Rouge in a year. That was the battle cry from those three fanbases, and they wouldn't shut up about it. Today, 10 years and $90 million later, A&M is stupid for paying it? It's a constantly moving target.

Holy shit this reads like Surly fan fic yet it’s real.
