aggy is turning on the Fat Elk after week 1. Frankly I’m surprised, as ND was a decent team heading into Pyle for week 1. Ranked vs shouldn’t have been ranked is a tough loss at home, when it was a close game going into the waning minutes of the 4th. aggy is going to aggy, so I digress.

Hook’em!!!

they’ll be sucking their sweet life juice from his engorged teet once again after they finish off Mcneese. Elk should have enough to satisfy the entire aggy fanbase on one side so that looch never has to be knocked off the other.

They'll be extremely lucky if Elko ends up like Sherman. Sherman was about the best case scenario for them as a head coach so of course they kicked him to the curb because he wasn't shiny enough for their new conference.

He recruited Sumlin's good team and had their OL rolling. Fucking morons.

The roller coaster is one straight drop this year.

If the fanbase could handle a few rebuilding seasons, I actually think Elko could build them back to a decent program. Thankfully, Billy and co. promise a “natty” every year and eliminate the possibility of any grace period. We are about to put them in the dirt for a decade and it’s so fucking awesome.

Maybe. I don’t know if we have enough information to really believe that. We know the guy is a decent recruiter with a bag in his hands and we know he’s an excellent X’s and O’s guy, but that’s about all of the information we really have. 

There’s a tendency here and elsewhere to lump Elko into the buckets of program builder or talent developer. I think it’s because he’s been touted as such for Duke and by Liucci and Pate.  

Duke looks like a mirage. He beat an overrated Clemson and then little else in the way of P4 programs with a winning record. We’ve heard stories about some sort of magical 8 month culture shift at ATM but there’s no evidence of that. I guess less guys have gotten arrested?

As to the talent developer side, there’s actually evidence against that. Leal and Jaylon Jones were drafted below recruiting rankings after starting for most of their time on campus. The Elk was there for both of their time on campus. We didn’t see a lot of other diamonds in the rough get developed and move on to the pros either. Are guys getting better year over year in the groups that he coaches?

I never realized just how small York was....couple that with being slow.

York might be the most overrated player on their roster. He was embarrassed against ND. 

1) He was pancaked like this several times. 

2) The big touchdown play was primarily his fault getting worked in space. 

Edgerrin Cooper masked a lot of deficiencies last year with York. Cooper is a legit stud.

It is a good reminder that many of the people claiming Elko was the next big thing aren’t actually informed enough to even know what he looks like and just parrot what Liucci, etc. tell them.

Absolutely. I don't have the great eye for seeing what happens in real time during a play. Guys like Cooper (and Scourton for that matter) make you see them. Cooper was a monster for them last year.

Odd thing is, Aggie writers in the off-season rarely mentioned what a loss he would be. They were already starting the cult of scrappy and wise Taurean York. I never noticed him last year, and I've been basically following the narrative about him supported by guys around here.

Saturday, I never heard York's name nor saw him in on a play. It was so obvious that I or a caveman could make note. He's done nothing to make me hate him, so I sort of feel for a guy who just can't quite get it done and knows it. There are strange advantages to being Leon O'Neal.

Side note:

I googled O'Neal to be sure I had his name correct. Noted this:

Noon yesterday. This Aggie starts a new thread filled with new revelations and keen insight never before voiced by human or fowl.

 

This parrot adds a growing Aggie Fact about conspiracy, fear, and loathing.

 

Second verse with new conspiracy

 

Third verse with assumption that all are agreed on a political position (most actually are over there):

Something fresh, but that's due to stupidity in application of Parrot Principles. One imagines the Aggie asleep at his insurance office, his face almost glued to the desktop with spittle. A few bars of the manly War Hymn alert him that there's a new post on Texags. He jolts awake and immediately thinks of the new era of NIL occurring in whatever Modern Era of college football the Aggies have most recently defined:

What can be more convincing support of an assertion than elipses?

Turning on the Elk happened fast because they really expected a good season this year, I know it is stupid, I know it is dumb, but that was really their expectation when he was hired, remember they bent over backwards to keep their talent and that recruiting class from transfering. See E-Rob staying as head coach and DC of Syracuse, see the hiring of an assistant in Early. They treat the transfer portal like a sacred betrayal, doubly so when it is a member of the sacred #1 class. 

 

The minute they realized is a rebuild year at best, it was as if their entire sanity shattered.

They were expecting a good season because people that follow the sport think that they still have a lot of talent on the roster and since they took 50 something kids in the portal they had to have a good portal class. There was very little inspection of what was gained and what was lost in the portal and the giant busts of the 5 and high 4 stars still on the team.

I think most of on this thread, even with our obvious bias, knew they were fucked. @closetojumping was 1000% on point multiple times during the offseason.

It seems like you’re not really giving York a fair shake here. Sure, he might be small and weak and slow. And he’s not particularly good at tackling or really in coverage.

Dude, the legit thought Weigman was a higher draft pick than Ewers. They're delusional. Oh, and their cute nicknames like SEWERS, but then ol Wiggy went out there and shat a turd that even they can't polish.

Elko has the look of someone who likely drinks too much. Looks aged beyond his actual years, in poor shape etc... I'm sure those rubes see it, but will intentionally ignore it until they can't.

Nd was highly over ranked per aggy boards all last week. Now it’s close loss to top 10 team!

and doing their favorite thing- making something up that makes them feel better. In this case, it’s that they would have lost by 20 with jimbo.

There are dozens of them. They're literally using his weight and dress as proof he's a slob and a lazy coach and is stealing money from them. I haven't seen anyone turn on a coach this fast. And they're doing the same shit to Weigman; fatty fatty stoner.

But he didn’t say that and neither did the AD or the SID.

Elko stated in a national interview before the season: “A&M isn’t rebuilding. If you’re rebuilding, you’re building your program for the next coach.”
