For once, i actually think we can take Jimbo at his word. If he doesn't care how many of those 10,000 people have had sex with his wife, why should he care what they think of his lack of coaching acumen?

[Armybrat 40941]

Why should he care what 10,000 people, or even 101,000, think about him? He ‘s got the easiest $75,000,000 contract on the planet.

Reading through the coaches survey in Dave Campbell’s Texas Football. Guess who the majority of high school coaches don’t trust.

It would be interesting to know what percentage of the coaches polled were Aggies. You know they rubbed their rings as they unanimously selected Herman to stick it to tu. You can figure that alumni from other universities answered honestly.

What the fuck are you talking about? Speak for yourself man, a good chunk of the rest of us are actually fans of college football as a whole and can tie our own shoes, count to 10, and recite the alphabet to boot.

The Aggies are the new Juggernaut that will stop Alabama and Clemson (at least in the regular season). They get it done this year and it will be a legendary year for their football program. I am sorry LSU fans but this one will hurt.

Too bad they'll lose to Miss St. and Auburn again, causing the SEC to get shut out of the playoffs. Great job aTm, you ruined it for everyone.

Say what? Texas am will lose 4 games this season. So, more average football, despite the insane contract and money that the aggies are pumping into their program. I would agree with you, if it were as simple as just purchasing an sec title, much less a national title, but that's just not how this works, lol. I give jimbo 1 more season after this one until a&m realizes what a huge blunder they made extending such an asinine contract for a coach that has only won 1 natty, and that was only because Jameis Winston was a once in a generation type talent, much like cam newton was. Even with that being said, Texas am is no Florida state. The sec is much tougher than the acc, and the sec west has 3 programs that are better than a&m is...programs that jimbo and the aggies have to deal with every season just to reach atl. Texas am is miss st with more money, plain and simple. They're an average football program that tries to buy their way into the category of the big 6 in the sec, and theyre simply not. This is going to be fun to watch them crash and burn and come to the realization that they're still the same ole a&m, and still the lil bro in Texas. It's gonna be epic.

A&M will beat Alabama, Clemson, LSU and Georgia. I'm sorry this bothers you.

aggy wasn't even the 4th best in the Big 12. Most years, they were behind OU, UT, & NU while struggling with Tech. Their best team - 2012 - was built to compete in our league, too.

whoop!

Truth.  aggy went 68-61 (.527) in conference play during their time in the Big 12 (including a shitty 19-22 conference record over their last five years), and didn't participate in the Big 12 CG at any time after 1998 until they ran away like scared little bitches after the 2011 season.  They were mediocre in the Big 12, and they've been mediocre for the most part in the secsecsec.

They suck.  They always have sucked.  And they always will suck.

And when they don't suck they choke.

Thank you. The first time I noticed that idiot was the last time I watched the goofy pimp walk. Every time that gif pops up, I try and figure out what in the wide wide world of sports he’s doing, and why he thinks it’s cool. I hate that guy, yet have no idea who he is, but he’s ruined that moment for me forever.

A&M played in two conference championship games in the history of the Big 12. One was before either Mack Brown or Bob Stoops were hired. The other was Mack's first year, OU's last pre-Stoops year. Once Oklahoma and Texas got their programs back to their normal levels, it went like this for A&M:

1999: three way tie for third, one game back (defeated us head to head and still finished a game back of us)

2000: third, three games back

2001: tied third, three games back

2002: fifth

2003: fifth

2004: tied for third, three games back

2005: fourth

2006: third, two games back

2007: three way tie for third, two games back

2008: tied for fifth (last)

2009: fifth

2010: three way tie for first, did not have tiebreaker

2011: tied for sixth (with us)

So from the time Bob Stoops was hired and Texas and OU started winning on their historically expected levels, A&M never even seriously contended for the Big 12 South title. When our program cratered in 2010, they shared their only division title post-98. 

In the SEC, they've gone this:

2012: tied for second, one game back of a team they upset head to head 

2013: fourth

2014: sixth

2015: tied for fifth

2016: fourth

2017: tied for fourth

2018: tied for second, three games back

That is during peak Alabama, another program that's simply capable of much higher output than A&M. And the rest of the SEC hasn't been killer the rest of the time A&M's been there, either-- LSU has been good but not as strong as they were from 2003-2011. Auburn's up and down, Florida's on their third coach since A&M joined the conference, Georgia has put together three fine seasons but A&M hasn't even played them. Ole Miss and Miss State exceeded historical performance, but I don't think many Aggies would see either of those programs as legit obstacles. Arkansas and Tennessee have been as bad the past 5-8 years as at any time in their histories. 

In other words, not only is A&M not contending in the SEC, they're not contending during a time when there's only one blueblood (Alabama) to surmount. If LSU gets its act together, if Auburn gets consistent, and if Florida and Tennessee re-establish themselves and compete with Georgia, A&M will fall further from contending for conference and even division titles.

I don't know how else to explain this to people who keep credulously referring to A&M as a sleeping giant (Stewie Mandel). They're not. They're Mississippi State in a more talented and therefore more hotly contested recruiting area. Winning 8 games and finishing two games back in their division is a good year for them. A breakthrough is sharing a division title and losing the tiebreaker.

Can’t hardly listen to Sirius CFB channel 84 in the morning driving to work. Those guys (especially Greg McElroy) never pass up a chance to mention the sleeping giant a&m. 

This morning he was talking them up as being the closest to being elite because they are the only ones that are right up there with Bama & Georgia in recruiting since Jimbo got there.  Elite athletes everywhere, great coaching, second-to-none facilities, best recruiting, etc....

The other host did bring him down a notch, but seems like there is definitely an agenda to push the make aggy great again narrative.

this comment will probably get nuked off The All-American's site, but Mandel's mailbag this week was so gleefully "LET'S TALK AGGIE FOOTBALL" that I couldn't resist. This is me being nice.

"Also, it just so happens The Athletic launched its content-sharing partnership with TexAgs this week"

Thus my cancelled subscription, which runs out in a few days. You should be embarrassed to diminish The All-American's credibility by partnering with a site that exists to *promote* Texas A&M, not report on it. You hire actual, grownup journalists to report on your other beats and then treat A&M's beat like it's open mic night: "go ahead, Ags, tell us all about yourselves".

Aligning with a site like that is completely contradictory to what you claimed were the reasons for The All-American launching in the first place, the reasons that encouraged me to subscribe. It feels like a classic bait-and-switch; "oh wait, maybe we DO want to be SBNation". I can't take seriously the journalism of a publication or editor-in-chief who's interested in this kind of charade. You're either a journalist OR you're willing to lie down with dogs in order to wake up with their Internet-traffic fleas. I'm tremendously disappointed in you.

Texags-- its staff, its subscribers, its message board-- has a reputation that would humiliate anyone but an Aggie. You either knew that and didn't care, or decided to perform an appalling lack of due diligence (doubtful), or were absolutely snowed by the dishonest rah-rah superfans that run Texags (bingo). And now your site's name and credibility are linked to it.

Good bye, and good luck.

like we get stories all the time, and always have, about kids Texas didn't want or wanted to position-switch, guys that are described as diehard Longhorns who don't get recruited and just want to GIT REVENGE on big bad ol Texas for being so mean to them... 

...but I don't ever remember hearing a single "spurned by A&M" story in the 35 years I've been aware of their miserable existence
