Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread

[BigHornedLurker 1935]

Sweet summer children , A&M sucks ass and looks like chernoblye with a Stalin problem.  

Fix one .

To answer that dumbass aggy. In 2008, we smoked aggy 49-9 and got passed up by ou in the final BCS poll.

[Jimmy Two Times 795]

The Aggy rollercoaster is undefeated. Early season setback was early enough that they're all penciling in 9 wins minimum with the October "Furk!" right around the corner. 

[Sejjr 3246]

aggy is playing for a spot in the CFP, you stupid ‘sip. The #25 ranking this week is crucial.

Tears & conspiracies over AP poll 

hey aggy, 

[closetojumping 62563]

That last set of posts is just amazing. The guy blaming some AP poll posting glitch on a “sip” operative made me laugh out loud. That has to be a troll, right? If it wasn’t an aggie, I’d be certain that that post was a troll job. 

[RomaVicta 29902]

It's remarkable that the Aggies operate on the assumption that they are an important object of attention nationwide.

We've actually got a prominent national brand, and I'm sure nobody paid much attention to the Longhorns when we were shitty other than us and, of course, the Aggies. We surely didn't suspect a national conspiracy to keep us at #18 when we were better than the #16 and 17 teams.

Their brief assault on the top 5 merely brought brief national attention to their mediocrity as they laughably crashed every year after the holy 2020 Covid season. Nobody expects A&M to be in the top ten. If they get there, nobody expects them to stay if they give them any thought at all.

Their currency is relevance, not football performance. 

More than anything, they seek to be accepted. Football performance is a means to that end. 

It’s why they obsess over inane things like the posts above.

[Redneck Mutha 7954]

To underscore that mediocrity, they've won 10+ games one time since 1998. That places them 15th out of 16 SEC teams. That places them in a 3-way tie for 13th out of 16 B12 teams.

Here are some other teams that have more double digit win seasons over that period:

Navy - 4

Northwestern - 3

Wake Forest - 2

Minnesota - 2

Temple - 2

Cal - 2

Charlie Strong - 3

Tom Herman - 2

[Pato del Muerto 52485]

But none of them played an sec schedule or a big 12 schedule **when it was good***, sip.

Just for fun, here are all the old SWC schools which have had seasons with 10 or more wins since 1998:

TCU: 13

UT: 11

Baylor: 6

Rice: 5

Arky: 3

SMU:  2

Rice: 2

TTU: 1

TAMU: 1

 

@CHEF RIBS W/ THE HAMM YALL is correct--they just want acceptance, and think that acceptance should be automatically conferred because of facilities facilities facilities, and tradition tradition tradition.  They are derisive toward SMU, Baylor, TCU.  What they don't understand is that acceptance has to be earned, not bought.  And they haven't earned anything at all. 

But no, they think they're Bama on the field and Hahvud (well, actually much better than those limp-wristed Hahvud libruls) in the classrom.  They're actually Texas Tech.  If they would accept that, they would be much happier.

I remember Tommy Nobis missing a game because he had the heebie-jeebies.

I don't have any reason to dislike Elko. Among all the other problems at A&M, he gets a quarterback controversy where neither QB has been particulalry good against decent competition.

  What do I do?

 

Of course, it's delicious that the TexAggies went from worshipping Wiggy to hating him and raving about Reed to start hating him, too.

This, quite literally.  Those imbeciles get so desparate in hiring coaches that they blow the pay scale to smithereens.  The numbers seem comical now, but they essentially did the same thing with Jackie Sherrill as they did with Fisher sans the non-buyout provision. So fucking desparate - apparently more for attention than actually winning.

$26M of Jimbo's buyout paid since last November

$51M remaining through 2031

$42M due to Elko through 2030 ($7M x 6yr)

The Jimbo $ already cost them Schlossnagle.  Sharp got Trev Alberts to be a penny piching AD, which he has been.  Firing people like the baseball analytics guy without telling Schloss and indefinitely postponing the stadium renovation is what pushed him out.  But of course those nitwits choose to go nuts because of mean ole tu, no self awareness.

Which is also funny since they are paying Alberts $2.2M per year after paying Bjork $1.5M per year...

I didn't know they were paying Elko $7MM. That's astonishing. I'd assumed it was somewhere between 4 and 5MM with incentives.

Well, I keep reading that 

Maybe he's worth it. Of course, some might wonder why his team wasn't playing its best in 3 out of 4 games so far this season.

I guess they were concentrating too much on maximum effort against McNeese State.

Yeah, pretty clear they don't understand exactly what "their best" actually looks like.

you should get into *head coaching.  the life of a position coach ain’t that great unless you’re at one of the factories, and even then...  or you just bleed football and don’t mind moving every two years.

You just look at Dyook over there, and The Elk built them up so well that now they can win even with a castoff quarterback from t.u.

I come with fodder. Big excitement in Aggieland over this news on their baseball board.

 

Lot of hubbub about this.

More debate and support over this hugely important decision.

The butthurt remains the same. One must never utter the name of the tu coach or even tu. Traditions! HOWDY!

The last one is sort of incoherent, but it pulls all the right strings.

Nothing weird or goofy about that thread.

You nailed it. They are consumed with appearances, partly because they have no idea wtf it actually takes to be successful.* I’m not sure they ever truly want to win big because so much of their identity is steeped in bs try-hard, perpetual victimhood mythology. I’m convinced they’d rather lose for pity than win for pride. It’s who they are. The acceptance part is particularly true. Weak, neglected people take comfort in a sense of belonging and the relative security of shared responsibility for outcomes, be it tragedy or triumph, among the community. Self-sufficient people are never afraid to lead, regardless of who follows, and are always willing to accept a greater burden of responsibility in order to do so. Neither is inherently bad, but expecting assimilation either way is.

[*Note: I have a similar theory about Tom Herman and some of his disingenuous “father-figure” bullshit.]

As always, the biggest hindrance to aggie success is their own misplaced pride. They are proud of their traditions…part of that tradition is never being good enough to win and gain validation from others. They seek to prove that their way works, when it hasn’t. They are unwilling to accept that their outdated, ineffective methods and beliefs are to blame for their eight-decade era of ineptitude. It’s much easier to blame their hardship on batshit crazy conspiracy theories or just chalk it up to being the most “unlucky” people in the entire universe. @closetojumping had a great observation a while back that the time to worry about the aggies is when they finally realize they aren’t fucking special. I think I’ve said it before, but they are a victim of their own disordered thoughts. If they ever decide to stop feeling sorry for themselves, and actually begin to take responsibility for their lot in life, they will become a much more formidable opponent. 

This is a bit of a tangent, but that whole acceptance issue is also why the stupid fucking SEC hat making the rounds on another thread is so repulsive to me. Who the fuck thought Texas fans would even consider buying that shit? We don’t need their fucking approval. Being a fan of this team, our team, is rewarding in and of itself. No assimilation required. Texas didn’t come to the SEC for a participation trophy, and we certainly don’t need other people’s acceptance. Texas came to the SEC to kick their fucking ass from sun up to sun down, every goddamn day…and if the others aren’t doing the same, that’s their fucking problem. That’s what the SEC is supposed to be about—the highest level of competition, which is derived from assembling a group of the most competitive teams available. The teams make the conference, the conference doesn’t make the teams. Fuck that hat and any microdick motherfucker who chooses to wear it.

It’s funny that the exact same people who were bitching about “loyalty” with Schloss, were the ones calling for their AD, HC (“he’s fat and ugly!”), and OC to be replaced before the very first game of their collective tenure was even in the books, AND they had already resorted to cyberbullying the QB they were hyping as a Heisman dark horse a few hours earlier. Best fans in the world.
