Listen, dude is right. I don't think anyone would put forth that the Aggie Network isn't real, and that Ag's dont try to take care of their own. If you need a teach job at a school with an Ag principle, or if you're a contractor needing steady construction work then the aggie network can help out. Want to sell Caterpillar's and heavy machinery on a storeroom floor? They gotchu, fam. Shit, even if you're just a fan and wear maroon to the interview, chances are they can probably start you out with a prime position as a used car salesman, gotta buy your own dealership polos, though. 

The Aggie Network is real. There's a fuck ton of middle managers and some directors and senior VPs that will guide his flock right into solid 70-80k dollar a year jobs, long term. 

My wife teaches at a cypress school (commutes from the city), and apparently a young teacher in her department two years out of school with a bachelors just got a team leader promotion over a 30 year old with a masters and doctorate who, according to my source, is a really good teacher and is good at whatever else they have to do. 

The younger teacher is an aggie, as is the principal.

I’m sure everyone has their anecdotes that are about as uninteresting as mine, but fuck that nepotistical cult

I never understood boasting about that stupid fucking collective as being a selling point to recruits. Is there a program out there that doesn't have boosters/ fans who love to hire former players? I mean, I'd think that it's a given. 

It's like, "come here and you'll even get your own fully functioning* bathroom!"

Cypress is unfortunately a bastion of aggy. You would think the consistent flooding would keep their herd numbers down, but no.

Not a single one of those sound like confident picks.  "A Tennessee pick would not be shocking".  OK Perroni.  "Texas is the main competition for Eaton".  Making it so it'll look like a head-to-head win for Dumbo.  Umanmielen pointed at a position on paper?  Big time aggy lock!

I think Eaton happens, unless Texas, LSU, or Bama decides to press just to fuck with A&M, which while I can’t rule out, I bet he picks A&M soon. Unless this is a Ro Simon keep the recruitment alive until the end special.

I believe that Eaton will be a really good player once he gets more coaching.  He's raw but very athletic. Sorta surprised that Sweaty P didn't go harder at him.

To bad he'll be coached by a dud in Linguist.

I have worked with two aggys who somehow made it through the interview process at my company, and both are/were the most hated people to work with in the entire region. They added as much value as a garden slug on a hot day and never sold shit in two years, both ex OL for Jackie Sherrill and RC. The younger one is perhaps the stupidest person I have ever met and managed to get his corporate card shut off in his first 5 months in role because he ran up $30K worth of expenses and didnt turn in his expense reports for over three months. The older one is the biggest asshole I have ever met by a mile, and in typical aggy fashion talked a big game but never delivered anything.

Thankfully, aggy virtually never make it up to NYC. I unknowingly stopped into an aggy bar in Chelsea (they had a flag and some paraphernalia on the wall) to take a piss on a Saturday gameday and there were a whole two goobers in maroon at the bar watching the early games.

Better knock on wood. They already have ads in the D.C. subway.

Their mean BMI numbers suggest that they would be really good at floating, making mass drownings really difficult for large hordes of aggy.

Lobo football, Bodacious, Country Tavern (not really in Longview but close enough), Butcher Shoppe, Juicy’s, Waffle Shoppe (now closed), Johnny Cace’s (now closed), Dudley’s, Shogun’s, Fisherman’s Market, Pizza King, and proximity to the Boats in Shreveport is about Longview has to offer.

I’ll be there this weekend so I might have an update for this thread later...but since school is out I may not hear anything.

Go up in one of those hot air balloons and see what's happening there for us...while you are there.

I understand, as you do, that an aggy making themselves known to a Horn, who knows how pathetic some aggy are, then it's likely not to always end well for the aggy.  I must say, however, that there are some good aggys out there....if you look hard....and don't let them herd.

They are so giddy about perceived HTH wins over Texas for 2 guys that are 4th and 3rd on the Texas respective position boards.

i think we're giddy about any cornerback who appears like he can 1. make a play on the football, and 2. break a 4.8

This is valid.  I married one after all.  But through her connections/college friends/tailgating cohorts is why I know the true nature of the beast.

Mauritz Lindquist has some really great connections with gymnasieskolan coaches in Uppsala and Linköping. We'd better watch out.

If you think about it, that factoid probably explains a lot.

I mean, I'd say there's a lot of pent up hostility there man. Maybe we should direct you to South Austin's mom for some release.

Bingo!  You can’t give crayons to aggy’s!
