Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread

[DanTheHorn 5079]

Billy is being measured with his Texas bashing. Those two guys keep wanting to have a guest that says Texas is going to suck against the SEC. They say it constantly until it comes to them predicting the Texas record then they always say Texas will be 10-2 or 11-1.

No AgTags for the posters, but there are a lot of irony-deaf up votes. Nice trolling or typical Aggie blindness.

 

From Aggie Outfitter site:

 

I don't usually have much of an opinion about team wear, but the above is indeed hideous. There's probably a burnt orange version for us, but I can't see any Longhorn wearing something so bad.

That brand makes some pretty nice gear, this one just happens to look like ass. Not exactly cheap either which will price out most of those clowns.

It's true, my friend. I don't do gear.

Billy Liucci Talks texas a&m vs Texas, NIL Truths, Coaching Search

2 days ago     That SEC Podcast

 

 

My 1-year-old woke me up early this morning, and I read this post and tuned in to the Texas bashing portion of this video. Got in the shower and made sure I had Liucci talking about Texas not being aware of how hard the SEC schedule is. I can’t tell you how much I eat that up. I want Liucci to live forever. The “They’ll see” narrative is poetry to me. I don’t expect any Aggies, nor any other SEC team fans to know it, but this isn’t the 2010s anymore and it’s gonna be beautiful when we predictably push their shit in in our first year in their beloved conference.

Plus, he talks about us playing in stadiums week after week filled with rabid fans. I got news for you, William, we play in stadiums like that every week already.

I went up to Wyoming for the game there in 2009. The stadium was packed and the fans were wildly enthusiastic. I asked one of the Wyo Cowboys sitting beside me if it was like that every week, I was impressed.

"Nah. The place is usually about half full but not when Texas is coming to town."

I'm sure the Aggies have faced many half-full stadiums in their history because...well, because they're the Aggies and nobody cares that much about them nor is their any historic prestige to having a win against them. We're known everywhere, and everyone wants to be able to say they beat us that one time.

Hell, when we were awful Macovic's last year, the stock price for companies that made goalposts must have shot way up. We were bad and we played in front of full stadiums where the goalposts were torn down whenever we lost. Baylor tore down their goalposts when they beat the Aggies, but I'm pretty sure nobody else ever has.

Nobody cares that much. Well, unless they've got a facilities fetish.

He posted on Shaggy a few years back. He ended up going to Tech even though he was "permanently banned" after the goalpost incident. I think he even auctioned off the Gap T-shirt for charity at that time. Vincent somethingorother.

Written in 2011, when we were all young and innocent and didn't need to take our metamucil. Poor kid got banned from Tech for awhile but eventually went to school there and graduated. 

Quote

"My dad was a school teacher and the superintendent called my dad," Valdez said. "I thought it was pretty cool and then when I went to volunteer at the Spirit Arena the Wednesday or Thursday at the basketball game two Tech police officers came up there.

"I got a notice served that I was banned from all Tech property indefinitely… The Kiss concert was coming up soon and I was looking forward to that and didn't end up getting to go. The forums and websites took over at that time too. I was 12 or 13 and I was bummed out because I had always wanted to go to Tech. They kind of turned it around completely on the websites and it kind of developed into its own character."

Looks like this is his Insta. Can only be judged by Mike Leach, apparently.

Case in point: Jimbo Fisher

teddy demanded and got reform in college football in 1905 to put an end to the violence

that season, 1905, there were 18 deaths on the field

wilson continued the reforms in 1909 which dramatically reduced the violence in football

the first aggy stack and bonfire took place that year so we can use that as the demarcation line

in the past 115 years, there have been deaths in and around college football programs, the most recent to my knowledge being Jordan McNair at Maryland in 18

since aggy believe that nut clenching, midnight cross burning and tree killing actually has an effect on the performance of their football team, we are left with no other choice but to conclude that the 12 deaths in 99 are the single most egregious event in the history of college football since 1909

so let's take death and dismemberment out of the equation and talk about money

our money

aggy remain a branch college of The University according to the Constitution of the State of Texas

they get 1/3rd of the AUF payment from the annual proceeds on PUF assets they don't own and that are not part of their endowment although they claim 100% of the PUF as theirs

they never paid back the loans to the AD in 07 and 08 despite AUF payments in the $600m-$800m range the last 3-4 years

so when we remove DEATHS from the equation, the pornographic boomhauer contract easily by a parsec outranks any other fiscal scandal in the history of college football

Sadly, he's neither of those on mass media. He comes across as a humorless homer obsessed with talking about Texas. 

"They're kissing their own ass, and that's hard to do." (Regarding Texas from William's appearance on the SEC show) I think he's mastered that himself. It's also not particularly witty. I'm not offended by it, BTW.

Their irrational dislike for "horn" anything is just like aggy's anger/intimidation of wrong-orange anything in The Brazos Bottoms that all Whataburgers and Home Depots MUST have maroon on them in order for aggy not to have wrong-orange PTSD/panic-attacks/orange-things-bad-aggressions/etc.  Lulz.

In an earlier office I worked in, I introduced my self to a woman on one of my first days. She's middle age and working in a cubicle with her framed law degree clinging to the cloth wall. There's the usual tonnage of Aggie stuff around in case there was any doubt (I don't recall where the law degree was from).

"Hi, I'm RomaVicta. Nice to meet you. Looks like you went to A&M."

"Yes, I did, where did you go?"

"Texas here in Austin-"

"Ewwwww."

"- a long time ago." 

She got friendlier, and I was never anything but friendly. I didn't say, "you must be a pretty big time lawyer to be working in a state cubicle pulling down middle five figures!" 

Like most fellow Longhorns I've worked with, you usually don't know it until you ask or it comes up in some natural context like a discussion of college sports. Usually low key. 

I searched the cubicle warren for a Texas Law School diploma, but didn't find one from there or anywhere else. I guess there were none, or they were smart/embarrassed enough not to hang it.

This is such a common and strange reaction from aggies I meet living and working in Austin.  It's not like it should be any surprise encountering Texas grads in the same city where the university is located-- if you choose to live here you really ought to know what you're getting into.  If encountering Texas grads is going to be a remarkable and unpleasant experience for you, then Austin is probably not the city for you.

It's like going to new york hinterlands, putting on a Texas Longhorns T-shirt, walking around in the shopping malls, and counting the number of frowns that the locals reflexively give you just as you walk by.

It can become amusing to see who can spot the most frowns.

If you're going to take actual practice/play out of the equation, I think you're going to have to include the Marshall U plane crash in 1970, which killed over 70 people. Calling a FIG event "egregious" probably isn't too far off the mark.

that was an ACCIDENT

tens of millions of student athletes have flow commercial and will continue to fly commercial

the wichita state crash was also an ACCIDENT

going further afield the manchester united crash was an ACCIDENT

99 was NOT AN ACCIDENT

99 was not an act of The God of Abraham

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
The 1999 Bonfire collapsed due to a number of both physical and organizational factors. Structurally, the collapse was driven by a containment failure in the first stack of logs. Two primary factors caused this failure: the first was excessive internal stresses driven primarily by aggressive wedging of second stack logs into the first stack. The second was inadequate containment strength. The wiring used to tie the logs together provided insufficient binding strength. Also, steel cables, which in recent years had been wrapped around the first stack, were not used in 1999, further reducing containment strength. These two factors – excessive internal stresses and weakened containment strength – combined to cause the collapse.
The physical failure and causal factors were driven by an organizational failure. This failure, which had its roots in decisions and actions by both students and University officials over many years, created an environment in which a complex and dangerous structure was allowed to be built without adequate physical or engineering controls.  This organizational failure is complex but includes such things as the absence of an appropriate written design or design process, cultural bias impeding risk identification, and the lack of a proactive risk management approach.

in other words, 99 was not an ACCIDENT
