I could only make it so far through the emergency Looch but one notable thing he said was that Elko was deeply involved in the assistant / support staff hiring process from beginning to end whereas Jimbo would just call up Jimmy Sexton. Or at least he said something to that effect. What a fucking grift Jimbo was on. 

There is zero chance this is true. 

This is Billy trying to sell his subscribers on things being better under Elko. There is no fucking shot Jimbo was hiring coaches based on an agent's opinion. 

[BurntOrange&White 39930]

I'd wager Looch said those same things about Jimbo when he took over for Sumlin.

You know things are bad because Billy is just making up complete bullshit to try and calm the masses. 

This Jimbo rumor of hiring assistants based on Sexton and HS coaches/recruits texting him about Collin Klein are both lies.

Agree. His hiring practices were centered on these things:

Will they tell me what I want to hear?

Can I yell at them?

Can I blame them?

[SydneyCarton 48061]

I love a fanbase so dumb, that the obvious questions never even remotely get close to surfacing. Here was how I imagine an interaction with a normal person would go:

Billy: "Elko is super involved in the process, the last guy wasnt."
Normal person: "Then Billy, how come you never reported on that at the time, all we got was articles on how amazing Jimbo was and never any criticism?"
Billy:

 

Instead, at Texags, you get something more like this."

Billy: "Elko is super involved in the process, the last guy wasnt."

I went to a Golden Corral once when I was in high school. My buddies wanted to hit the breakfast buffet after a Saturday morning practice. I didn't have a car, so I went with the buddy who was giving me a ride home. We get sat and they all run off. I decided I was going to get some eggs and bacon, I guess. Grab a plate, walk over to the buffet, go to the scrambled eggs. There's a fucking green bean sitting right in the middle of the eggs. Green beans are the most disgusting food on the planet. I put my plate back, walked out of that shithole, and then walked home. Never again.

I think the key thing is that things be funny. Any remark, post, exclamation, death rattle, diversion, or blasphemhy is fine if it's at least funny.

It's the tedium that I loathe rather than some priggish devotion to rules that drives me.

But, if it ruins your day and makes you hate ol' RomaVicta, of course, I'll try to change my ways. I'm not going to say that I can't be annoying. Sometimes I annoy myself. That God for my good looks!

This reminds me of after game meals on our out of town high school basketball trips in West Texas.  Because we went a lot.  Unless there was a K-Bobs around.

Green beans, like most green vegetables, taste fantastic if you actually know how to cook them. Americans do this weird thing where they steam a raw vegetable and think that magically makes it edible.

Andrew Hattersley: Texas A&M set to host Old Dominion WR for official visit this weekend

Quote

Texas A&M will host Old Dominion WR transfer Javon Harvey for an official visit this upcoming weekend, a source confirmed to Texas A&M. Harvey was one of the first offers that went out from the A&M staff to players in the transfer portal along with UNT transfer Ja’Mori Maclin. Harvey has one year of eligibility remaining after spending his entire career with the Monarchs.

All five of A&M’s top receivers from this past season have the ability to return for another season in College Station though Ainias Smith could well opt to declare for the NFL Draft. A&M has still be on the hunt for more veteran depth though in the receiver room and have targeted Harvey to help provide depth at that spot.

Colossal personal pet peeve. Why steam vegetables? It's like they want them to be mushy and tasteless. Green beans are great if you do them right.

Green beans are edible, but that's about as far as it goes. They are, however, about the most truthfully and unimaginatively named vegetable.

Quote

According to Dave DeWitt, whose expertise in the chile pepper field is as beyond reproach as it gets (and who has conducted extensive research on the alleged Hatch), there IS no such thing as a horticultural species of “Hatch chile pepper” grown in a place officially named “Hatch Valley.” After a long and vigorous study, Dave concluded, “It is my opinion that a geographical entity known as the ‘Hatch Valley’ does not exist and has never existed in the history of New Mexico. The village of Hatch and the other towns associated with growing chile (Derry, Arrey, Garfield, etc.) are located in the Rincon Valley as shown by maps of the State of New Mexico and the U.S. Geological Survey. The Hatch Chile Association has, without any authority to do so, renamed that valley the ‘Hatch Valley’ solely for purposes of obtaining a certification mark for ‘Hatch.’”
If it’s its own species or family, then what are the biological traits that define and separate it from other species of chile pepper? Dave DeWitt is the most published authority on chile peppers in America, if not the world, and if he found no evidence of any such profile in his lengthy research on the subject, then does it exist? So if no one has any biological proof that “Hatch chile peppers” are biologically distinct from others grown in the area, then in that regard, the “Hatch chile” has more in common with skeezy pirate code than actual hard-and-fast biology.

"Hatch Chiles" were invented by a marketing professional for the sole purpose of making them more exclusive, and therefore, profitable. They are an Anaheim pepper that are available year round at your grocery store.

yup.

i thought the modern take was that Hatch Chiles at one point were like Pecos Cantaloupes where differences in taste is attributed to the soil makeup and weather where they are grown vs them being a genetically divergent species.

granted, this was probably before the Hatch-ification of everything by said marketing professional.

Spoke with an aggy buddy of mine who stated. "Elko is getting us back to basics. No more flash and style, just substance and smashmouth football." Of course, I responded, "What exactly about Jimbo's tenure screamed flash and style." During the same conversation he mentioned that he wouldn't be surprised if Elko moved fall camp to Junction, TX like Bear Bryant...the conversation ended there as I was far too busy laughing.

[Skipper 6128]

I don't think the whole Sexton thing Liucci is talking about is that uncommon but also don't think it's the way Liucci is framing it (i.e., Jimbo was that lazy).  No coach is just letting Sexton make hires.  But I think if a coach is potentially looking to make a move up or out, that word gets to Sexton who then feeds it to HC's needing to make hires.  I think this is moreso at the coordinator level where Sexton can act as a conduit. Particularly when he is almost inevitably repping both sides.

Listen, I have sent "haricots verts" and the dish they were a part of back to the chef at a 3 star Michelin restaurant in Paris. He literally called me "le vilain Americain" and I did not give one shit. They ruin the taste of the entre dish. Sometimes when we would trend towards having to skip a meal before payday when I was growing up, my mother's last gasp to put something on the table would be old cans of vegetables. Cafeteria corn and green beans were usually what was left. Nope, I'll wait until groceries come in, thank you. Also, fuck people who bring green bean casseroles to potlucks during the holidays. I cannot imagine what that horrific monstrosity must taste like.

I've always wondered where the whole "rough, tough, real stuff" saying spawns from with them. Is that one of their goofy yells or is it something that they wrote up in a song or story somewhere? I assume it's another absurd origin story of their weird "traditions". I remember the first time I read the lyrics to their war hymn or whatever. I thought it was made up when someone posted it on Hornfans. Nope. They're just that fucking goofy.
