only thing i could find applies to construction contracts and goes out of its way to exclude employment contracts.

Not sure what you’re looking at. It’s certain contracts for goods or services. While it’s not limited to just construction contracts, one of the exceptions for the types of recoverable damages is specific to construction contracts. Chapter 271, Subchapter I of the Local Government Code.

Do you ever give in to the urge to tell them just how delusional and full of shit they are?
I wouldn't be able to resist.

On a few things I do. It’s entertainment and he is my closest relative as we grow old. I’ve been making Aggie jokes at him since high school.

I remember when they removed the requirement to be in the Corps, and they finally opened a women’s dorm in the early 70’s. They resisted women coming in more than desegregation in the 60’a.

Is the Corps still affiliated with the Army as an official ROTC program or is it now just bullshit soldier dress up shit?

Every time I see pics of corp turds I'm more convinced there's some kind of lab breeding program down in collie station. They look the same as they did 20, 30, 40, probably 84 years ago.

There is. They fucking kill beagles. Another horrid part of that institution.

But that statutory waiver of immunity doesn’t apply to units of the state, including state universities, so it’s a moo point.

A small minority of the Corps members are in ROTC. Not just Army, but Navy and Air Force as well.

My aggy nephew was in the Corpse and just graduated in the spring - he "signed his papers" his sophomore year with the Army and got money from them and a few weeks of Army training during the next 3 years and is actually in whatever they call officer training basic right now.  We attended his graduation and there were probably 200 others graduating that were headed off to the various military branches.  (Not sure how many were actually in the Corpse and he said it was a smallish % (20%?) of those in the Corpse that actually joined the military.)

It wasn't in the Local Government Code (A&M isn't a local government)

I have friends who are ancillary CFB fans and call me when something big happens.  They ask me, “Just tell me what to think.”
Two guys said today, “Coach Prime to Aggy!  What do you think!?”
I told them Aggies are racists with little man syndrome and sent them some Yell Leader vids.  Always awesome to open a person’s eyes.

I covered the nut-grabbing and jizz jars too of course.

I’ve got a buddy from bama asking some stuff about them before the game this season. I just forwarded him the aggypedia link.

You make commercials letting people know you’re not weird, yet you put up billboards in every SEC town saying they’ve been “annexed by aggie nation.” Yet that’s not weird or cult-like behavior. No sir, not in any way. It’s just “spirit.”

Heh.  Though your point remains.

A number of years ago, I was working with a guy that was representing a software partner and we had been meeting off an on for close to a year. The guy was an Ohio State grad and based out of Columbus, Ohio.

He was a big fan of college football so we frequently discussed cfb. On one occasion, he flew down for a few days to work with me. However, he made a stop in Houston first to meet a different company.

The first thing he brought up with me was this question.

"What is the deal with Texas A&M alumni? I was in Houston meeting a couple of people and they were fans of college football so we started talking like me and you do but the conversation was weird. I can't explain it but this one guy was really weird."

LOL

The first thing I showed him on my laptop was the nut squeezing and Milkmen because he didn't believe me. His reaction was wtfguy.gif and then I forwarded him a link to aggypedia.

It's always hilarious to see the uninitiated get introduced to aggy. I've never met anyone that thought their traditions were cool. Also, a lot of people don't know shit about aggy because they are not a national brand but a backwater freakshow.

I had to give you some rep, not for your story about your Corps Turd nephew, but for the fact that I’ve admired them titties in your avatar for a long time, but have failed to acknowledge them until now.

Today’s Dallas Morning News appears to be trying to stir the hornets’ nest.

I weirdly believe Kiffin would want to go there. I think he hated Jimbo, not really A&M. Would probably think that he could go there and show Jimbo up with all the money and croots he would be able to get.

 

He'd be a good hire, but they probably view him as beneath them. Or feel like he's not gonna mesh well with their "culture", which is probably true. They'd rather hire a loser that puts up with their dumb shit than hire a winner who won't participate in it.

I listened to the On Second Thought podcast interview with Olin Buchanan so the rest of you don’t have to. Notes:

Jimbo failed because the offense was dated and too complicated.

Hints that offense against Miss St was alllowing Petrino to fully run it  for the first time. 

Looking for in new coach - recruiting machine, offensive minded, organizational skills.

Offensive mind doesn’t eliminate Elko depending on his vision for the offense and getting in great OC  

Is Elko leader in the clubhouse? Can’t say, hearing so many names right now, mentions Urban and Dan Campbell (or even Aaron Glenn).

Jeff Traylor brought up by Bohls,Buchanan says they might even keep ERob (what has hiring the big names gotten you?), compares ERob to what Clemson did with Dabo.

Dan Lanning is too expensive 

Bohls pushing Traylor, says he’s like RC, Buchanan doesn’t disagree.

Buchanan downplaying the big name hire because they haven’t worked before, seems like he’s really pushing this narrative to lower expectations about the name when announced  

ATM has all the pieces in place, get a coach who wants to be there (like Traylor). 

You’re welcome.
