This gem is notable from that thread:
I had a conversation with a Bama fan...they are a sensitive bunch. If they don't hear that they will beat everyone by 3 touchdowns...they get all defensive.


Let's check in on the last few years of bama/aggy scores:

2020: 51-24 (27 pts)
2019: 47-28 (19 pts)
2018: 45-23 (22 pts)

Average margin of victory for bama = 23 points.

I can't imagine why bama fans would expect they'll win by at least three touchdowns. Clearly they're delusional.

The ags have a thread bleating about how Bowtie “gave the finger to the sips  when they tried to handle our business for us.”

https://texags.com/forums/5/topics/3207477

Again, this is why many, many people have no respect for “the aggy education.”

Deloss worked a deal for Texas to dump aggy and move to the SEC. The ags went apeshit and cried to the legislature because Deloss did not also make room in the deal to take A&M with us. 

Lesson learned. 

The next time Deloss seriously discussed a deal to switch conferences, Deloss made room for A&M in the deal. 

Man’s the ags went apeshit because we made room for them in the deal. 

Add in how the ags didn’t want in on the LHN concept until it was a done deal. And again the ags went apeshit. 

The ags simply act as if they never went apeshit over anything. The simply rewrote their history to erase all three of these clusterfucks they individually are accountable for. 

By the time it came to part ways, the ags insist Deloss was adamant that A&M not be allowed to separate from the main university. 

Are you fucking kidding me? After 20 years of aggy going apeshit every time Deloss tried to take advantages in changes in the growth of college athletics, Deloss was the first person to hold the door open for them and the last to try to stop them. 

When they left, the ags were reeling from not being able to pay their bills in five if the previous seven years and were running out of the ability to keep begging money from the academic side. Meanwhile, Texas was the undisputed leader in revenues. 

Somehow none of this is ever spoken of by the ags. 

Probably because the truth is so brutally painful to them. 

The people of Texas deserve better than Texas A&M. 

This x100000000! A&M is the biggest group of unappreciative disingenuous disloyal fucks in sports. The fact that they still push this narrative of being mistreated when UT and the Big12 has bent over backwards for them is annoying asf. They’re still claiming the refs cheated for us against them which of course never happened. I’m in the camp of never playing them again in anything

Too funny. Back door trophy coming to the hall of air:

Don't think that we are going undefeated this year - so next best thing is a one loss team.

Get out scored by bama at the in season game (not having to go to sec championship game)

get into the playoffs and beat them in a rematch game thus winning the national championship! (like bama did to lsu in 2011)

“A cultural bias that impedes risk identification.” 

 

Im watching the early broadcast of the British Open. Three former aggy golfers in the top 5 and a fourth (a former British Open champion) doing commentary in the booth. 

The penultimate pairing were college teammates on a national championship team.

What an impressive achievement. I’m sure every aggy is proud of their achievement. As we all know,  “What starts in College Station changes the world.” Lol. 

Nice to see the golf team is managing to keep up with their fellow alumni.

TexAgs paying $10k to Spiller and Richardson for exclusive interviews. Not sure if $10k is going to be a lot or little in NIL world, but TExAgs jumped out there quick. Shit is going to get blurry and fast. Old school media outlets are going to take another hit with this. No way they pay for interviews.

Quote

A real estate company is paying a pair of Texas A&M football players $10,000 each for exclusive interviews at an event hosted by a fan website.

The site, TexAgs.com, announced on Friday it was “hosting an NIL event sponsored by GreenPrint Real Estate Group” featuring running back Isaiah Spiller and safety Demani Richardson and promoting exclusive interviews.

 

 

Quote

The event comes just two weeks after a new state law and NCAA guidelines went into effect that allow college athletes to profit from their name, image and likeness (NIL).

Typically, interviews with college athletes are arranged through a school’s sports information department and are unpaid. News organizations like the Houston Chronicle don’t pay for interviews or access.

 

 

Quote

“This took a lot of work in order to make sure everything was on the up-and-up and by the book in terms of the new NIL rules and this uncharted territory, but it was worth it to see how excited the guys were for the opportunity,” TexAgs co-owner and executive editor Billy Liucci posted on TexAgs. “I also think everyone wins here, from the content to the student athletes and, of course, for you the subscribers.”

TexAgs, which is not affiliated with A&M, said it reaches more than 650,000 viewers monthly.

 

Quote

GreenPrint describes itself on its website as “one of Brazos Valley’s leading real estate brokerage firms, concentrating on buyer and seller representation, home listing marketing, and management of residential and commercial properties … established on Christian principles, conservative values, and conscientious practices.”

All the SMU boosters from the 80s who are watching this must be amazed.    The ones that are dead must be rolling in their graves.   Same goes for the aggy FedEx boosters and their little scandal.  And the numerous OU run ins with the NCAA which resulted with a slap on the wrist.  Lmao this is going to get entertaining.

ESPN picking up the Texags story.

I never again want to hear any aggy whine about federal bailouts or welfare payments. 

Federal welfare dollars are what is keeping their football team alive these days.

Hanen rejected Marquardt’s qualified-immunity defense, saying “an objectively reasonable individual” should have known that “taking a work authored by another, having one’s secretary type it up — omitting all indication of who owned or had edited the work — and distributing the work via an e-Newsletter, was bound to violate U.S. copyright laws.”

fuck aggy.

There are apparently two appeals raising separate issues.

First, the plaintiff sued multiple individuals including tamu.  The Supreme Court held last year that states (and state entities like tamu) have complete sovereign immunity from copyright claims.  The plaintiff is contesting that.  And will lose.

Second, the individual defendants as state employees raised defenses of qualified immunity, ala cops, which were rejected, as reported above.  Qualified immunity hinges on whether the defendant should have known his/her action was unlawful.  That seems clear here, but the Fifth Circuit is a leader in torturing qualified immunity to let cops off.

The 5th Circuit will do what they do.

If the ags get fucked up the ass on their sovereign immunity defense based on stealing someone’s work on their “12th Man” story on the 100th anniversary of their “12th Man” fairy tale, it will be interesting. 

Remember, under the DMCA, statutory damages are in excess of $750 mil. 

I can’t think of a better way to blunt their “12th Man” fairy tale centennial. I’m 

The issue in the sovereign immunity argument is whether the copyright violation is a taking or a tort. 

Since you seem to have a mastery of the issue, which is it, a taking or a tort?

Wow, some good stuff in there, but I'm partial to this masterpiece of critical thinking:

dcg4403

7:16a, 5/1/21

"The good news is that Bama is in a "rebuilding" year with the main focus being loss of Mac. Not sure Bama ever really has to rebuild that freaking machine but at least they have more unknowns than usual for the upcoming season. So I think the odds are more even than ever before. We also have many open questions though. So I give it the flip of a coin which has way better odds than any prior year since Johnny upset."
