It’s amazing how we have to fill holes to replace our depth (portal), while aggy is just concerned with making their current depth “happy,” even though they aren’t the quality we’re looking for.

Hook’em!!!

On top of their historical norm of one 10 win season every decade or so, they also don't seem to get that the only times that they have ever become a "force" in recruiting is when a few things tend to line up perfectly:

  1. Texas is wrapped around the axle and has fucked itself up.
  2. They find some flash in the pan gimmick (Sumlin/Manziel) or just go all in on rampant cheating (RC, Sherrill, Jimbo, et al.).
  3. They are pushing the envelope to places that others are not willing to go (2022 class).  

When all three of those things are not in play, they sit at their historical mean. An above average team with no real hope for the top of the sport. When all three of those things are in play, they are an easy target for the NCAA. The legal pay for play era has done more harm for A&M, Bama, LSU, and OU than I could have ever hoped.

The funny thing is if their AD hadn't just finished lighting $77 MM on fire they'd probably have the donor base to be better in this landscape than their historical baseline.

I would agree, but they always seem to be doing something like that. If they aren't squandering resources they are running off coaches, making general asses of themselves in a public domain, and continuing the institutional delusion of their fanbase through lies and propaganda that later gets disproven in often embarrassing ways.

We don't kink shame. You know there have to be at least 3-4 posters on this thread who pay some large, smelly women to yank their nipple rings as hard as possible. The point is, for some incel adjacent neckbeards pain IS pleasure. I mean, shit, look at all of aggie fandom.

But your reaction, as well as the weirdos on this board involuntarily and furtively looking side to side, is priceless. 

“furtive” is one of my favorite words. I feel like the very sound of it implies its meaning. Also, 💯on some of these people feeling seen, in dark ways, with that post.

That’s a hilarious thread. 2/3 is pointing out the obvious, that TAMU’s “turditions” are, at the least, embarrassing.

They birthed an AggieFact that we spent $4MM on the new DTs and then plug and play from Aggie AI (Astonishing Ignorance) that this is a formula for disaster for t.u.

The funniest part is that actually overspending on a defensive line and then watching the mercenaries kill all positivity in the culture is what Elko and Fisher actually did at ATM. So, yeah, sure, Texas must be that fucking stupid as well.

But of course. When you're stupid, that's your only frame of reference to understand the world. It's a hapless type of projection--If Aggie could imagine a non-stupid action, then they wouldn't be Aggie.

Oh, Billy. You’ve never won a championship in anything. No matter who you were playing. 

Except that lone title. In black and white. Before your parents were born. When Hitler was cranking up his war machine. 1939* Remember that one? No, not a single living person does.

Not an aggy alive has a T-shirt commemorating their ‘39 National Championship. They didn’t even screen print T-shirts back then, plus nobody saw the game on TV. Thats how far back their solo championship goes.

No TV and Hitler! What a combination to associate with for 1939!

Every accusation is a confession, and I can't believe you inserted your mom into this thread.

Never use "inserted" and "mom" in the same sentence, unless it also includes "South Austin".

Furtively Squandering has a distinctly Surly feeling. Band? Motto? Objective?

Remains to be seen. But "remains to be seen" might be a tag line in an obituary.

So…doesn’t the fact that we’ve saddled multiple teams with 3 losses keep those teams from being at the top of the conference, and Aggy handing out wins in the first half do the opposite?

No actual national championship trophy for A&M, since the Associated Press didn't start awarding its trophy until 1941 and the Dickinson System awarded their trophy to USC as the national champions that year. No player rings or watches either, since those wouldn't be in vogue until decades later. The only actual, non-retroactive trophy A&M has for their last national championship is the Sugar Bowl trophy. The players were also awarded charms for winning the SWC, and there's that infamous tapestry that's always in the signatures of the older, more deranged TexAgs posters.

A little while back A&M had a football trophy exhibit at the George H.W. Bush Library. It feels uncharitable to call it 'pathetic', but it wasn't especially impressive. They put their 1941 Cotton Bowl trophy on display (from the season we defeated them 7-0, knocked them out of the Rose Bowl, and crushed their hopes of repeating for the national championship) along with a commemorative tapestry from their 1939 and 1940 seasons, a few photos from their 1919 and 1917 undefeated seasons, and various pins, rings and game balls.

Most of the commemorative memorabilia for A&M's 1939 national title (i.e. the things that actually say 'National Champions' on them) are things A&M created and awarded themselves much later. For example, in 1998 A&M retroactively created and awarded national championship rings to the 26 surviving players from the 1939 team.

And in 2016, when AFCA put together their short-lived 'Blue Ribbon Commission' headed up by R.C. Slocum, they awarded A&M a retroactive Coaches' Poll trophy for the 1939 season after A&M went through the process of applying for a retroactive award. The commission also awarded Okie Lite a trophy for 1945, TCU a trophy for 1938, and SMU a trophy for 1935 before AFCA presumably realized how silly the process was and stopped the project.

Forgot to mention, one of the placards at the A&M exhibit in the Bush library actually tried to give A&M credit for the invention of the wishbone offense. It proclaimed "The three-back set known as the wishbone was created by Texas A&M head coach Emory Bellard" with zero additional context 😒 

They also had a whole section of the exhibit dedicated to Reveille. I think the only actual trophies I saw, in addition to what I previously mentioned, were the Manziel Heisman + Cotton Bowl trophies from the 2012 season, Von Miller's Butkus award, their lone Big 12 championship trophy from 1998, and some random Alamo Bowl trophy from the '90s.

I haven't asked about who's donating in like well over a year, because I don't give a fuck, honestly. But the last time I was around ANY conversation about NIL, Beveridge hadn't donated anything to NIL because he's donated a fuck ton to the AD recently. Like 20 million or something pledged to various projects. 

Hildebrand, unless something has changed, hate NIL, doesn't believe in it, and has said he'd never contribute to it. So...as usual they've all made up plenty of fucking shit in their dumb little heads and it's now fact. The list of our billionaires that hate NIL on principle and won't donate is probably bigger than the ones that have/will. 

I'd love it if all the names I mentioned had changed their minds in the last 12-18 months, though. 

EDIT: Damn, missed CTJ's post by THAT much

He’s not a schmuck, though and he wants to see solid direction in the program before he lets them go nuts like 2022 again.

I feel like not long ago this board had a discussion on possible donor fatigue from lack of ROI, and you were adamant that it’s irrational spending and donor fatigue doesn’t exist because of that.  ROI being the team being good, not personal ROI.

It's very entertaining to see them gloss over their losses on the DL, which was their one real strength last season. They have what 2 guys coming back on the interior that were in rotation last season?

Then they are basically starting over at WR. They got a bunch of similar WRs, short and fast. Let's see how they do when trying to catch ducks from their QB 20 yards down the field against DBs that are bigger and more physcial than them. Their only hope on offense is built around the running game that is returning two guys coming off major injuries behind what is likely a bottom 2-3 OL in the SEC.
