quintessential A&M-- who in the fuck else ever comes up short on a capital campaign? I don't follow these closely but whenever I hear about them, it's always "surpassed goal" and "record fundraising". 

What happened was that a change in accounting for pension benefits came into effect in 2017 that forced a restatement of the pension liabilities of all public universities nationally. That change wiped out the increase in assets from the capital campaign. Had aggy not conducted that capital campaign, there financial position would have necessitated a downgrade of their credit.

The actual capital campaign was typically aggy. They included the assets given for the stadium project as well as all contributions to the GHWB presidential library in their total of "gifts to the university."

Kids from all over the state who want to get the fuck away from Mom& Dad, but hey, it’s a state school…

That rebellious streak is absolutely a part of the Tech culture, that and a utilitarian view upon farm animals, as opposed to seeing them as sex objects.

Every penny of that hurricane relief money is clean as a whistle sir, how dare you.

It was funneled into construction/cleanup contracts which happen to be aggy owned by pure coinicidence. If those same aggy owners want to increase their donations a wee bit due to extra profits, who are we to judge?

There is a company between Wimberley and San Marcos on 12 that used to fly an aggy flag. It is a company that fulfills disaster supply contracts from what I've been told. I've seen him in at least 2 Ferraris and a couple of other 100K trucks. Wonder how much he donates back to aggy?

To the contrary.  When I'm driving to Colorado, I time it so I hit Lubbock at the lunch hour for some TV.

+1. I as well, leave Houston at 4am to hit Amarillo by lunch for TV on the way to Colorado (for the fly fishing trips).

I saw that yesterday. I was telling someone about August pies and I looked them up to show a picture and saw that they went under during Covid. I live in Northwest Arkansas so I doubt I'll get any August pies around here. I ran into a guy at the driving range up here last year that saw my Texas bag and he mentioned that his family owned August pies. I about shit. My family owned a restaurant in North Texas and we sold them there.

[ButtFumble 5180]

in NW Ark if you shop at Harps you will probably get JJ's Bakery Pies

 

not to take up for aggy, but one thing with all university fundraisers is the money is never straight cash homie

they get life trust that might not be turned over to the university for 10 or 15+ years......they get "in kind" things like software packages (some can be in the tens of millions) and pledges to pay off X dollars per year over Y years and all of that gets counted up front

the organization that exist for "university fundraising" or maybe it is most all "charitable fundraising" tries to discourage universities (and the rest) from including things like software packages or computer hardware or whatever else that is not more of a liquid asset from being included in the fundraising totals, but no one listens to them or gives a shit about their opinion

I've had them and they're good but they're not the same. Maybe it's nostalgia. 

 

Sorry to derail with the food talk. Carry on with the money talk. Regardless of wealth, aggy will always suck.

[ButtFumble 5180]

I don't think the JJ's are as fried as the August Pies

and food talk is way better than aggy talk anyway

It must be nice waking up each day in their “dream world” fantasy life. To have that much faith in an unproven QB1 (King) to go straight to 11-1 or oh my God, undefeated and 12-0!! If and only if they can beat Bama?

I didn’t have that much “mind-gloat” when Colt was heading into his Senior year. Typical aggy.

Pirate Mike is going to CJK5H on aggy!

This was from the Iowa State vs Washington State Alamo Bowl.

[msucolt45 4063]

Mike never “acknowledged” the sign, just behind his bench, but Tom Luginbill (sp?), the ESPN side line reporter, noticed it and just shook his head with a muffled laugh.
