Holy shit. My wife and I were driving by there on Tuesday and saw 5-6 police cars in the parking lot with their lights flashing. We were wondering what it was.

Remember a year or two ago they had the WR go missing and then hack someone up. But you know win at any cost. What’s a few lives?

Clemson will do the bare minimum to get out of there with a win. No sense leaving high value players in there to slip and slide around and tweak a hamstring while ahead three touchdowns. 

Before the forecast was Biblical rain, I said Clemson would win 38-34. It's hard to imagine a shootout in a downpour, but I still think A&M covers. They're not devoid of talent and they'll shoot their 2018 wad tonight while Clemson will be eager to just get back on the plane and get out of there.

I have a vendor (t-shirt ag who went to SWT) who always is inviting me to go to games with him. I always turn him down.

yeah cause Aggie fans have traveled to so many great college football atmospheres against which to compare

I have been to an A&M game. It was alright but I was not blown away or anything. I even went to yell practice the night before. It was a little fun and a lot weird but not this mind blowing experience.

Like most things with A&M it is mostly hype I think. I mean I guess if I was an A&M alumni it would be this magical thing but it did not do much for me as a non-fan of both schools playing.

What is amazing is that these fan fiction accounts of the greatness of aggyland only come from a visiting fan of a non-conference top 25 team.  For example, the only account I can recall from the Prairie View game a couple of years ago involved aggy spitting on the Prairie View fans.

In the SEC, they've been to Bama, Auburn, LSU, and Ole MIss (which isn't a great in-game environment per se but has great tailgating). They went to Florida once in the midst of a severe, prolonged down spell in Florida football. They haven't traveled to Georgia or Tennessee yet. 

What else? A&M hasn't played (at) Michigan since 1977, Notre Dame since 2000 (in the fourth year of a prolonged slump), Ohio State since 1970, Penn State since 1979 (and Penn State's home environment has improved drastically over the past 15 years). They haven't played at USC since 1964 or Washington since 1989, and they've never played at Oregon or played in an actual Rose Bowl. They did play a little over half a game at the Rose Bowl stadium against UCLA, which has never been accused of having an interesting home presence.

How will Texas do this weekend against usc?

Expand  

A lot less obvious than Aggy-Clemson. I thought Aggy-NWSt, Aggy-CLemson, and Texas-Maryland were all obvious. Texas-Tulsa, I was way off on-- I expected us to win that one by 35+. So I'm a blind squirrel more than anything else, but I never had a doubt A&M would lose by less than a TD to Clemson. 

Posted (edited)

I guess what I would say on Texas-SC is that I fear both teams are as bad as they've looked thus far. It might be a repeat of 2016 Texas-Notre Dame (edit, in that regard, both teams are worse than expected, not meaning it will be a 50-47 shootout). USC's offense was so bad against Stanford that it's hard to imagine them going on the road and putting up a big enough number to beat an average offensive output (around 28 points). I think that Texas controlling its turnovers is the biggest factor in the game. If we'd held onto the ball against Maryland, we likely would have won by 10+. Assuming the second half wet fart against Tulsa was just a stretch of bad football and not our best effort, I'll say Texas 23, USC 20, on a last-second field goal, but no one walks away happy from this one. We're going to look like garbage again and so will USC.

The difference was that Texas and Notre Dame played on national TV on Sunday night and it was the first game of the season (and was very exciting, especially given that the Horns were destroyed the year before). Both teams have already shit the bed this year. No one is going to say the winner of this game is back and going to the playoffs.

Would anyone be surprised to learn that all of the aggie fan fiction stories about college station and aggie fans were penned by John Sharp himself? Or, a paid member of the aggie institution?

It could literally be any aggy. It's a turdition, and it's no doubt taught at fish camp.

 

Now that I think about it, they should consider having a camp for students about to graduate. Call it "Normal People Camp" and teach aggies entering the real world how to be normal. It's a novel idea.

Holy shit at the dead wife and the son (with no apparent connection to Clemson) wanting aggyland as his senior trip.  They really have no self awareness about how transparently fake those stories are to the reader.  The OSU board gets an "awesome fans" post every now and then from visitors, but they appear to be genuine.  First, our fanbase is actually pretty cool and the stories are never over-the-top, but usually "I was greeted and given a beer at a tailgate" and "awesome tailgating scene" which I've seen often with my own eyes.  Second, our fanbase has no delusions of grandeur about where we are in the pecking order of college football and have no need to stroke off to penthouse aggy porn to make up for penis envy.  These clowns are fucking ridiculous.

Work (finance) with a decent number of McCombs/Mays graduates over the years.  Singular Ag's are fine.  Great even.  We lease to two Ag's @ our ranch.  Neighbors are ags.  All great.  It's when they start to cluster.  When the tribalism creeps back in.  Shits starts to get a little sideways.  Maybe it's a sense of security in numbers, but when they gather the "aggy" comes out.  Weddings are the worst.  JFC.  Been to too many of those (Wife's family "split" between the Austin and CS factions).

Someone hit me with a PM and was asking about UT system finances. I pulled the latest financials filed in connection with the outstanding debt of each system, not just the flagship campuses.

TAMU has total assets (buildings, real estate, etc) of $14.0B and total liabilities of $7.8B. The net worth of all assets of the TAMU system is $6.13B

The UT System has $72.3B in total assets, $17.3B in total liabilities. The net worth of the assets of the UT System is $44.8B.

Now do you see why I keep saying the two organizations are not comparable?

This encapsulates aggy to a T. If there's one in the group, they act pretty normal for the most part. Once two or more find out they are both aggy, then that's all you'll ever here about.

Once they discover that they are both aggy, then WHOOP!  I can just picture it now.

Are they now celebrating Bonfar to show their burning desire to beat LSU or are we still the target?   They should concentrate on LSU because they are truly the Tigers' whipping boy.  They have not come close to beating LSU at all.

I know you’ve probably broken you arm or dislocated your shoulder patting yourself on the back. Hell you might have even messed up a disc in your neck trying to suck your own dick. But don’t get it twisted. The only thing you got correct about the aggy-Clemson game was it not being a blow out. Clemson didn’t sit all their good players to keep them healthy. They had them in the whole game.

Honestly, its better than its ever been.  With them Blinn-teaming all the SWT/Texas state girls and UT making it harder to get in, there is more talent on campus than ever before.

There are still way too many ugly 20 year olds for 50k students.  But far better than it was in the 80s.

Image result for quadding tamu

From the aggy corps of cadets, this practice is known as 'quadding".  Guys strip down another guy, spread-eagle him, and pour water on his genitals.

 

Expand  

I thought for sure you were making this up, so I searched.  Sure enough, from a texags reply to the topic "Tell me your Red Ass Corps Stories" comes mention of it.

What's sad is, the fact that quadding real isn't as scary as the fact that this entire post is real, and that someone thought posting it would be impressive. 

Can we please just send this post to every aggy recruit and remind them that these are the people they're planning to spend their college years with? Holy shit, what a weird bunch they are.

Not sure about red-ass but fond memories now - Friday you got there off to the MPC for uniforms & a hair cut in the basement of the "C" (school started on Monday), your first yell practice on the quad that night, first outfit beer bust-yes young-uns the upper classmen would take you out and drink, cold beer & bad pizza at Sparkys, Youngblood's on Sunday nights, Mom's Cafe down in Bryan, Dead, Solid, Perfect for the best hamburgers around, meal hounding-never saw blood vessels in my meat until I ate at Duncan, first week one fish bud afraid to go into the hall so he crapped in a shoebox & peed in the sink, Midnight Yell, Christmas Party with grode flicks-we may all be going to Hell for those, steam shower crap outs, afternoon come-bys, an outfit run when a fish bud messed in his pants, Class sets, Quadding-"someone find me the F-ing head waiter I'm tried of eating this s...t, someone has to pay", we never did get Jim Bob Mickler to the quad - Jody was not as much trouble - Wing Commander O'Connor was load too, Comet cleanser bombs (Babo/Draino too) BONFIRE-carrying logs as underclassman & working pulley crews, city boys trying to dip for the first time and watching them turn green & puke, cutting as an upperclassman, ****** outs when the p-head guessed totally wrong & trying not to buzz, fish class stealing all the CO's stuff right down to the monster, piss the BQ's off & they'd change the cadence on you as you passed the review stand, flag detail & my 'ol Lady put the Texas Flag upside down..."FRESHMAN COME BY!", one of our Butt buddies letting his date wear a midnight to a dance before the Waggies had midnights. It only cost a weekend. Throwing the Houston Post to make a little money, Silver Taps, Muster, Guard duty, Edge dressing, boot bands, brasso...

"there is a fine line between red ass and dumb ass fish Jones"

"Highway 6 runs both ways"...and they meant it. 

This was well said..."As far as the rivalry, we were always giving each other grief, sort of like brothers always fighting.....but having each other's back against outside threats. EXACTLY! RANKS CLOSED QUICKLY

Yes I'd do it all again.

When aggy was remodeling their tackle box, we saw pictures of their cannon on some scaffeling, mounted outside the stadium.  Where is their cannon stationed now, and was Smoky used at UT before aggy had theirs?

 When Slorch Junior got his appointment to West Point, I didn’t quite get down in the Andy Dufresne after crawling through a mile of shit pose. But it was close. No quadding no stupid bullshit. Fuck Texas A&M- Worst Plan B ever
