The aggy post about Sanky throwing UT a lifeline to rescue us from the B12. Just too funny and so clueless. They're fortunate UT didn't insist on kicking aggy out of the conference before we'd even consider joining.

Also their expectation of getting the first home game against UT...it's akin to caring so very, very much whether the ball on the left has lifted, or if it's the ball on the right's turn.

Fortunately pointing and laughing at the moronic buffoon who thinks he's really, really smart; never learns from his mistakes; accuses others of the exact type of behavior he exhibits himself; is tied to stupid turditions and false history; and is off-the-charts arrogant is a spectator sport that will never not be highly amusing and entertaining. At least for the reasonably foreseeable future.

They like to think of themselves as some kind of victims of our greed and conference manipulations.  Of course, they leave out that they voted in lock step with us on every issue for the entire time they were in the conference.  I'm sure they were horrified when the league offices were moved to Dallas. I'm sure they were horrified when equal revenue sharing was voted down every year they were here.  They also took a large sum of cash from the conference, intended to placate them, while they were actively negotiating their exit ... and then left and kept the money.  assholes...

[Nivek 16923]

Texas and OU were stupid to decline the bribe. Should have modified the contract then and there to negotiate an exit strategy based on the piddly shit payments the first movers managed.

But hindsight and all.

the first 4 movers were no TEXAS and ou.

I just want specific examples of all the stuff Texas has done over the years that has egregiously screwed A&M and everyone else. Real, substantiated, specific incidents and examples. It’s a nice, convenient talking point to just repeat “Texas always ruins everything, just wait,” but I really have no idea what we’ve supposedly ruined and how exactly we ruined it. (And yes, the examples should probably include things that A&M didn’t also sign off on.)

Facts aren't going to sway them.   They have to live with one of two possible realities:  1) The Evil Empire of Texas has conspired for generations to use its money, status, and power to keep, as its sole priority,  a laser focus on preventing A&M from reaching their rightful seat as an Academic and Athletic powerhouse  or 2) They suck and have sucked for all of their living memory.

On the NIL topic, has aggy ever disclosed a deal?  I've seen multiple articles about UT with cars, grocery products, video games, etc. I realize it's not the university putting these in place, but with no disclosure the entire concept of marketing NIL goes away.  Hell, I'm contacting that Volks dealer to source my next car.  That dealership did some solid NIL work for us.

I think they assume NIL deals are private because they want to believe they used NIL for their big class. They believe this even though Jimbo says only one player got a deal.

Since they are able to hold contradictory beliefs in their heads at the same time, sometimes they recognize that A&M spent a lot of money on that class. Therefore, all monies spent to pay players must be NIL even if NIL includes bagmen. 

Either they cling to the belief that their class was acquired through legal NIL deals despite all evidence otherwise, or they broaden the definition of NIL to include whatever bad actions they may have taken.

It's actually convenient for them to not understand NIL considering the above. They avoid the truth about Honor Code A&M.

That leads to a tangential thought. They wear their honor code like they wear their SEC patch; they believe these labels make them better than they are or will ever be.

if you want a huge, huge, huge laugh that https://texags.com/forums/5/topics/3360374TexAgs post was made on 2/8/23. the underlying information from the Action Network (article link) has a post date of 10/4/22, but it includes things in it that make you think it was posted before the season then edited/updated on 10/4/22. examples

Quote

CJ Stroud came off a strong 2021-22 season, leading the Ohio State Buckeyes to a Rose Bowl title. Stroud also broke the OSU record for most passing yards in a single game.

Quote

Bijan Robinson is one of the most highly touted running backs heading into the season.

that Action Network article does not have any information about their process, where the numbers are from anything. it's basically the same as the On3 NIL valuations that are black box'd. if you want to know how much of a joke it is, there is an article from The Eagle posted on 9/6/22 based on open records requests that says football athletes made $3,367,517.52 from July 1, 21 to when the article was posted. that comes out to $39,617 per 85 men on the roster. a far cry from $85k.

all you need to know is that even TexAgs posters with Ag tags are refuting it in most of the comments there

re: Aggie NIL:

my understanding is that the Texas A&M NIL Collective "The Fund" does not disclose anything around deals, who it is run by (articles have said it is "run by some of Texas A&M's biggest donors"). nor do they have a website. nor do they have any stated goals, dollar or otherwise. they prefer to stick to word of mouth between players

from Athletic article last year:

Quote

As far as publicity, they feel word-of-mouth between recruits and players will be plenty to ensure the people they’ll work with know what is available.

did i miss anything here @RGBIII or @closetojumping? have they actually set up a functioning collective of any kind or are they falling further and further behind by the day because they can't tell their ass from their elbow?

Regarding the current state of NIL for ATM, it's a matter of perspective. If "NIL" includes money laundering and stuff below board and off the compliance radar, ATM's "NIL" is elite, especially if they win. If you mean actual NIL, I don't know if much has changed since they were mocking it and dismissing what other schools were doing with it.

• A coach who literally killed one of his players
• A coach whose players at Boston College celebrated when he was fired and who was accused of making racial comments at Colorado State
• A coach who got into a fistfight on the field with his former team

Texas has been mediocre to bad for 37 of the last 45 years? i will happily take that challenge on. he randomly cherrypicked to when Akers started btw in 77. Actually, all he did was take the fact Texas won 8 Conference Championships over that timeframe and say Texas sucks lol

• 1977: Texas goes 11-1, (started 11-0) wins the Conference, spends much of the year as #1 or #2, but loses to ND in the Cotton Bowl. Earl wins the Heisman. Finishes at #4 in AP Poll.
• 1981: Texas goes 10-1-1, losing to Arkansas and finishing the year by beating #3 Alabama in the Cotton Bowl. Finished 2nd in the SWC despite beating SMU due to SMU going 7-1 in conf and Texas going 6-1-1. Finish at #2 in the AP Poll.
• 1983: Texas goes 11-1 (started 11-0), wins conf, spends the whole year as #2 or #3 but loses to UGA in the Cotton Bowl. Finish as #5 in AP Poll.
• 1990: David McWilliams wins the SWC, finishing undefeated in conference and has Texas up to #3 before losing to Miami in the Cotton Bowl
• 1996: John Mackovic-led Texas wins the B12 South, beats Nebraska to win the B12.

Technically Mackovic won the SWC in 1994 with a 4-3 conference record because A&M was on probation lol

There are 5 before Mack Brown even enters the picture and wins 10 games 9 years in a row, has 7 top 10 finishes, has 5 top 5 finishes, wins 2 conference titles, goes to 2 national championships, wins 1. but sure. Texas has sucked for 37 of 45 years.

Fred Akers finished at Texas with a 73.1% win rate. This would rank as the 8th all time in A&M history and first if you make the cutoff Dana X Bible leaving in 1928. it's a higher win rate than RC also if that matters. Fred Akers had 3 top 5 AP poll finishes. in the 75 years since Homer Norton left in 1947, Texas A&M has a total of 3 Top 5 finishes, 2020 Jimbo finished 4th, 2012 Sumlin finished 5th, and 1956 Bear Bryant finished 5th. Legitimately, there is an argument that Fred Akers would be the 2nd best coach in the history of Texas A&M's program after Norton. Would have had the 2nd most wins in A&M history, 3 Top 5 finishes and 2 conference championships

[hornlife 205]

Solid info @NoName .  I was in school from '91 to '97 (under and grad).  Crossed paths with Mackovic weekly. Always liked the guy and he'd stop to talk with me every time.  He asked me to go to the Sun Bowl when Priest Holmes totally went off.  I regret not making that trip but I was there in the Alamo Bowl when he called that 4th down tight end pass and the last second field goal. If you guys haven't met a great RB in real life - wow - you wouldn't believe the size of their thighs.  Ricky and Priest - jeez. Ricky couldn't find jeans to fit him - had to get a huge waist and have a ton taken in on it - just to fit his thighs.  Priest was built the same.  

[hornlife 205]

And thank you all for the NIL help.  Sounds like it's bags for aggy and we are way out front in real deals.  It's disclosed and we use our NIL as intended.  If any of you are in the market for a new car, I'd suggest contacting that Volks dealership to see if they can source what you want. I certainly will but the old M3 has some miles to give.  

[hornlife 205]

hey, olders - we had Priest at RB, Octavious Bishop on OL and I think we had another clerical name? 

 

[hornlife 205]

and the old's may remember - every big win the James Brown songs on 6th street with sand volleyball and $1 beers.  And the co-eds ... damn.  SEC or whatever, I'd put UT talent up as a winner. Probably the Miss schools as seconds.

The fact that they have a War Hymn instead of fight song, they yell not cheer, and they have a real artillery piece not a fun little popgun proves what dorks they are and what dorks they've always been.

All of those examples are about their desire to be manlier than everybody else. In short, they're very insecure. So it is with that idiot saying that we're essentially barely on their radar as a rival. 

Their insecurity was made worse when some Texas fan accurately pointed out that OU was a bigger football rivalry than A&M. They couldn't stand it, so they distorted it into "tu says we're not their rival" and then pointed out every example of us speaking of them as a rival as a sign of our dishonesty.

They sing and dance about us at the games with their main rivals as named by the idiot in the op. Alabama doesn't think of A&M as a rival nor does LSU. They've drubbed 90% of the times they've played. What LSU and Alabama have learned is that it's worse to lose to A&M than any other school. They're insufferably smug even if their one victory comes after 5 consecutive losses. 

For us? It's a big deal to beat OU. It's a big deal to lose to A&M. I'm finding myself thinking about playing them with more anticipation than I would have thought I have. Let's get it on.
