It always surprises me when some of you think you're fanbase is so different than others. I would think that with the size of your fanbase, it's more likely that enough would be interested in a shirt like this that whoever makes it gets a nice little profit. My junior year at OSU we rushed the field three times and single win shirts were everywhere because we had been so bad for so long. We don't really do that anymore except for Bedlam wins. I don't buy them but acknowledge that there is a market.

The interviews starting at 2:36 are gold... not to mention the dummy wearing an aggy bucket list shirt.

Does the school own that jet?  Or is it just some dumbass aggy with more money than brains?

Most University systems have their own plane.  I'm betting that one belongs to the whole of the Texas A&M University System and used primarily by inter-campus travel by the Chancellor and senior staff.  But is frequently "lent out" to specific schools for use by their Presidents, and perhaps even coaches.  It's hard to justify sending an A&M-Commerce basketball coach or UTEP defensive coordinator and their staff out on a private plane for recruiting or summit, but they do it more than you'd think.

Wow!!   Lol. That was fantastic!!

I didn’t realize they are 1-7 in their last 8 games against Power 5 teams.  Crazy how badly they are underachieving considering their recruiting and the metric tons of money they’ve spent.

The cherry on top of his tenure is they backed out of their bowl game because of their covid excuse because they knew they were going to get drilled by I believe Wake Forest. And wanted to save some face with all the recruiting they were doing and thought they were building some high powered team.

So with Alabama and LSU not looking so hot this year is it aggy’s turn to win the West? Is there a gentleman’s agreement in place that it’s their turn?

Texas A&M couldn't win it even with an agreement already in place.

Most schools have aircraft, but state schools probably aren't getting away with a Gulfstream.  Think King Air or Citation.

That "A&M" jet is a 1997 G-IV; owner is based out of Ft. Worth/Benbrook.  Either a workaround for the University so they don't have to answer to the state legislature, or a wealthy alumnus/fan who owns and operates it, "donating" flight time to the school.

That’s a forfeit in my book.

Edit: someone needs to reset the hamster wheel that runs this place.

I agree with a lot of this. I think what separates aggy from most other fan bases is what % of their fans will buy that shirt vs. others. I think its multiples higher for aggy.

I don't know a single person that would wear that. Not. One. Single. Person. I am sure that the podunk towns that lean Longhorn would find homes for it though. The closest I have ever come to a shirt like that is this one......and I won't apologize to anyone for it.

This is the only score shirt I’ve ever owned.  I don’t wear it, but it’s a nice thing to own.  Poor aggy won’t ever know what this is like!

The guy behind the company that owns the "aggy G-IV" is Robert L. Albritton, a member of the aggy Board of Regents.

Lulz. 

Boomhauer's ballsack will blather on about anything rather than address the fact that A&M just fucking sucks ass. 

The amazing part is how that only affected aggy and Miami was unfazed by it

This reminds me about their caterwauling in the 1998 Ricky game.  Pre-noon kickoff, it had been raining off and on that morning, but clearly we were watering the field and they didn't come prepared with the proper cleats.

I mean, my wife and I had beers for breakfast at Scholz Garden and had our fucking umbrellas with us.  Never change, you stupid rednecks.

Saw an ad at Sue Patrick’s for that shirt.

And I just KNOW that my 85 year old mom will rush out and buy me one.  Of course, I won't have the heart to tell her that I won't wear it, but I won't.  Add it to the rest of the Sue Patrick collection in my closet.
