What a great read. Whenever I think the last 10+ years have been rough, I should come back to this post and thank God I didn't go to A&M.

Every time the blind aggy finds a nut and has a good season, they think they’re “back where they belong.”  He repeats that several times. 
No, where they belong is an also-ran. To his credit, he does recognize that a couple of times too.

Wait, do they think CDC is some sort of transcendent, irreplaceable AD? I like him fine, and maybe I’m missing something, but their fantasizing that he may leave Texas seems weird. But I mean…given the source…

I think CDC is a pretty damn valuable AD considering what he did at TCU and what he's done here so far. If you forgot how quickly an AD can sour things, just re-read everything Patterson did.

Oh I think he’s good, not saying otherwise or that it wouldn’t be disruptive. Just struck me as a weird set of dots for them to try to connect and to become giddy about.

But, yeah, I suppose among the weird shit they’re always talking about, perhaps this isn’t remarkable.

And one of them says that CDC is a “west coast guy,” or something like that. 
No, he’s not.  He grew up on a farm in Taos, where his parents ran a group foster home. He’s a contemporary of mine and we ran in the same circles in northern New Mexico. Remarkable parallels between his family’s choices and mine. 

Side note: in reminding myself of what his parents did, I found this article describing his dad’s murder in 2000. Holy crap. Horrific. His dad stopped to help a stranded motorist and the guy hit him over the head, slit his throat, and dumped him in a ditch. This was on his dad’s drive back from a football game in which CDC and his dad sat together and had a great conversation.  The murderer is in prison in CA with a life sentence with no chance for parole.

Classic aggies. Most of their posts in CDC are that he is a clown and an inept loudmouth. But of course he sucks so bad a school like USC would want him. No inconsistency there at all. 
 

pretty sure like many a serial killer, aggies can’t get an wee ruin unless it involves Texas suffering. Hence all their fantasy role playing

For the second time today, you anticipate my own thoughts. 

I couldn't even name the A&M AD before he shot himself in the dick several times after the story broke that ebil tu and OU were joining the SEC. In fact, I can't generate it even this moment. Byrne was notable as a hire from NU and his newsletters about "our friends in Austin."

CDC is good. I'd like him to stay. I won't be remotely distressed if he doesn't. Aggies are more worked up about this than any of us will ever be, but isn't that always the way of it?

News outlets are so bad at the internets. All the Fort Worth paper has done is prevent me from ever clicking a link to them. CNN used to be maddening because they overloaded their site with videos and it took forever to load. I'm hardly an IT guy or web marketing specialist, but they need a better model.

And, yes, someone please copy the story. Terrible.

Chris Del Conte simply calls his father’s death “an accident” when anyone else would call it what it is: Murder. “I tend to look at it that way because ... how do you say it any other way?” he said. “I can’t say it. You just justify it in your mind, ‘He had an accident.’” The ex-TCU athletic director has become one of the most visible people in college sports, thanks largely to a personality that is akin to his late father, Robert Del Conte, the man who could not say no, whose calling was to take care of people, and to never quit on any person. And since he was killed on Oct. 25, 2000, Chris Del Conte has become Robert Del Conte not only in his job or to his children, but for the sprawling Del Conte family that he and his wife raised on a farm in Taos, N.M.

his wife, Robin, was pregnant. “My work here is done,” his dad proudly told him. All of the children were out of the house and doing well on their own. Life was not over, but the “mission” had a conclusion of sorts. After leaving Palo Alto, Robert was driving south and stopped along the road in Morro Bay to help a motorist work on a disabled car. The motorist knocked Robert Del Conte out, cut his throat, threw him into a gully and stole his wallet. That is the accident. Robert Del Conte was murdered for $60. He was 61. How does one talk about this?

“I cherish that last conversation and the day was such a good time,” Chris Del Conte said. “It was this time of euphoria and then life just takes this different path.” A LIFETIME OF HALLOWNESS Chris Del Conte and the family did not learn of Robert’s death for several days. The killer used his father’s credit card and was picked up by police. The case, however, was not easy and done. The investigation and trial took more than a year, and prosecutors were unable to decisively pin the murder on Robert Watson. “I just walled it all off from everyone; I worked constantly and went back and forth from Arizona to the trial and for everything. I thought that was the best way to handle it,” Chris Del Conte said. “I always thought I didn’t do enough to get him convicted the first time.”

The Del Conte family initially feared the alleged murderer was going to get off until DNA evidenced linked him to another crime, a cold case more than a decade old. Watson eventually confessed to raping and killing a woman who had been his foster parent. On June 28, 2001, Watson was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. He is 51, and in prison in San Diego. “You need time to mourn and I never did,” Del Conte said. “The pain is the same if you lose someone whether it’s cancer, but there is a chance to say goodbye. This was so violent and the opportunity to say goodbye is not there. There will be a lifetime of hollowness. I used to call him all the time for advice. I find myself weepy at weird times. Big events. Maybe it’s my age. Just ... missing my dad.” UNPACKING THE PEDASTAL Chris Del Conte never knew his father as a peer; he knew his dad only atop a pedestal, on which he remains to this day. Talking in his office at Texas, his voice cracks about The Silver Fox. Some of it’s mourning. Some of it’s just guilt. “Catholic guilt runs deep,” Del Conte said. He was mad at God. How could He do this?

“Constantly,” he said. “I asked him 1,000 times, ‘How can someone who served you and went through his whole life, how can he die like this?’ I have yet to have the answer, but I know I’ll honor my dad living the way he did.” He believes what his dad preaches, which is he came in this world with nothing, and he will leave with nothing. He will give it all away. Del Conte is horrendous at saying no. He answers every call. Everyone gets a few minutes and feels special. Del Conte is not a believer that “everything happens for a reason,” especially after this “accident.” “Maybe perspective helps, but I believe you make your own fortune or misfortune,” he said. And after all this time, and so much pain, he can unpack all of this.

“How do you reach forgiveness for the person who did that? But, more importantly, how do you let that go? That was a long time,” he said. “Do I forgive an individual and believe in God? You question that. For a long time I did. You’re talking about a guy who gave his life for serving others to be killed in that matter. “But time heals wounds.” Does it? “No ... but it gives you perspective,” he said. “That I have to live in the now. The idea of coming to Texas, it was the highest of the high. But that would not have impressed (his father). It’s the idea of, ‘Were you honest? Were you humble? Did you serve?” How Robert Del Conte died was no accident, and neither was how he lived.

Here's something stupid that keeps popping up on Texags. It's almost as inane as telling someone honestly doubting their team to "grow a pair."

Often, you see someone write, "why do you care, it's not your money," as though that's some brilliant way to shut up the concern about all the funds Jimbo is absorbing.

Their basic argument strategy is to short circuit anything intelligent before it takes root.

So Looch thinks it would be hilarious if USC targeted CDC. Maybe they will. Who knows. CDC has done a pretty nice job since he’s been here. That would be a reward of sorts - “you’re doing great, we’d love to talk with you about doing that for USC”.

You know who USC won’t target? The fucking AD at Aggy. “Let’s see here - you’re football team sucks, players leaving, portal additions you stole from Bang Bang State outside of Pampa, baseball team is in the shitter, and we [checks notes] don’t have meat judging. Hard pass.”

[Mitch Cumsteen 18523]

I know jack shit about USC but it seems like an unholy mess. And Texas is a cesspool? They’ve got sexual misconduct, an Nil turf war, pay for athletic scholarships admissions scandal, a revolving door of terrible ADs and history of ncaa sanctions. And that’s on top of them having to fork over a billion dollar settlement for the gynecologist in their student health center sexually assaulting anything in his path for 25 years. And then you get to navigate them into a new conference in a foreign land. Whoever takes that job has to be a masochist and to leave a place like Texas for it, you’d also have to be an idiot.

Lol… yes.  CDC who has helped hire great coaches, upgraded facilities, has lived in Texas for over a decade and has Texas winning its second director’s cup in a row for best athletic program is now going to leave for USC.  There’s very few schools that have more money than USC.  Texas may be the only one.  It’s not like they can money whip him.

I can think of a game here or there in my life where I thought the entire outcome could be blamed on an ump or a ref's nefarious, one-sided bullshit. The 2018 ALCS game 4 for the Astros against the Red Sox. Fucking Joe West. The 2015 Texas game against Okie State and the Grant Teaff Baylor finale are probably the most egregious scenarios to unfold in my cognizant lifetime. I know the Renfro catch against Pittsburgh is another one in the late 70's. 

I know some of the more conspiracy oriented folks here can cite a handful more. In reality though, across all of the sports teams for whom I cheer, it's very rare where the outcome has been believably decided against my team more or less by the umps or refs, who were unquestionably one-sided. I think most non-asshat fans of most teams would see it similarly for their sides. 

Now look at ATM's fans and programs. They honestly believe that a healthy minority, if not outright majority, of the games that are decided against them are the direct outcome of the refs or umps actively working to spur their demise. Also, when it's not directly the fault of the refs of umps, it's usually because a committee somewhere is actively working to keep them down and out in that sport. Oftentimes, it's a combo of refs/umps and a committee. A complex and multilayered conspiracy completely hidden from the public.

This is why they're incapable of sustaining any version of excellence. They cannot be accountable or introspective, and they will not hold their leadership accountable. In the event that they do hold a HC accountable, it's for roughly two weeks during which he or she is fired and before the new savior is hired. That's it. That's the amount of time there's any form of accountability, and even then it's when they're throwing the sonofabitch out and viewing them as a newly villainous outsider.

i watched none of the softball game they are talking about but when the other team out hits you, you have 3 errors, walk 8 players (vs 4 for the other team), you use 3 different pitchers in one inning - including your starting pitcher who gets no outs, and go 1-9 with RISP, the top half of your lineup goes 4/18...and you lose 11-5 you can pretty rarely blame that on the umpires.

also one team was 45-13-1 and your team was 35-21.

That’s the savantness of their idiocy. Blaming the guy calling balls and strikes explains why so many walks and so many hits- they were forced to throw it right down the middle by gawd.
