Why do these coaches let themselves get so fat? They don’t have access to the workout facilities?

Yes, and I'm so thankful for social media. Now the rest of the world is finally catching on to what we've known about the aggy delusion cult for a century.

tu?  You don't know me well enough motherfucker.  It's UsTed.  Got it, punk?  

I've had to take folks aside, young and old, and explained....."Look, when we're out of state...and somebody asks where you went to school, say Texas or UT-Austin.  UT means different shit in different parts of the country.  And don't just say "Tech", you have to say "Texas Tech."  And then I'd get into the whole, "These guys all went to business school so they'll often to refer to their alma mater as Sloan or Kellogg or Marshall even though we don't really say McCombs."  You don't have to sit down and memorize the entirety of a Fiske Guide to Colleges, but a cursory knowledge of the name usage/locations/some trivia nugget of these 20 or so colleges is a great way too make idle chit-chat at a reception or lunch break.  Same as knowing a little bit about international soccer or geopolitics when dealing with foreign nationals.  Just something to show you care and are up to date on shit.  But try telling that to a fucking Aggie.  these fucking morons can be in midtown Manhattan at GE Headquarters or on Wall Street or on Sand Hill Road and will open with, "As an Ag...my view of the markets is..."  Nobody talks like that, even cross-fitter vegans from Yale wait 60 seconds into the conversation before throwing that shit out there.  Read a fucking room.  

Same thing with the almighty aggy ring. Those idiots wear it as a badge of honor. Having worked with or in Fortune 100 companies for most of my  career, with people from all over the world, I can definitively say that any college ring is ridiculous. No one cares, and it is a sign of a small, provincial mindset. 

aggy thinks wearing their ring is an entry pass into an exclusive club guaranteeing continued employment, advancement, and perks. It’s not. It’s career-limiting. 

That’s fine if your ambition is to be the top insurance salesman in Katy. But if your ambitions are bigger than that, then take off the stupid ring and drop the whoops, sips, tu, and hissing.

That's a good way to put it.  Rivalries and annoyances aside, they do seem to view their "Achievements" and "Aggie Culture/Community" as some massive leg up on the rest of society.  It can absolutely, positively open lots and lots of doors within certain industries in many pockets of Texas.  But outside of those, it's an inhibitor as opposed to an enabler.  Undergrad is supposed to expand your worldview, not narrow it.  They see this as a feature, not a bug.

“Yes. Why, yes I am. How do you know?”

”The distinguished way you carry yourself, the authority with which you speak; it’s the mark of the Harvard man wherever he goes “

“Why, thank you! That’s very kind. And, if you don’t mind, may I ask if you are a Texas A&M Aggie?”

“Why, yes I am! How could you tell?”

The recent history of fatfuck college coaches is not great. Sam Pittman. Bret Bielema. That fat fuck that was at Kansas. They tend to have teams as undisciplined as their diets, and give their linemen days off when it’s hot, and let them skip leg days in the weight room.

That fat fuck at Kansas got the Jayhawks to 12-1 and won the Orange Bowl. He was a pretty good coach, unless you were the "towel boy."

I think this is exactly why they have such high regard for the aggy ring. It's a pseudo-military college so it helps them complete the cosplay as a military man (or woman).

To them, it is just another thing that makes them "cool" and unique. The whole "from the outside you can't understand it" mentality. The rest of us laugh. It isn't cool and we don't envy it.

[Blotto 23,559]

Honestly I appreciate the fact they all wear those rings. While Clem will usually let it be known where he went to school in the first few minutes of any conversation, scoping the ring out from a distance tells me all I need to know to avoid a conversation in the first place.

Just like the covid season.  Beat all the teams with losing records, and the single team (alabama) with a winning record mudholed them.

Reading about Elko (legit articles not hype on steroids) he truly is a mechanic type (made me think of the group Mike and the Mechanics) no frills guy. I say this to make the point that if he can’t get them there, no one can. In light of how this whole situation transpired with firing Jimbo and the “search” the type of HC that could possibly pull that off will not want that job no matter how much money is involved. I saw Leslie’s piece and loved it. We all understand. The lack of institutional control and the chaos and craziness that is aggy. He won’t be able to change the culture. He can, however, with legit success gain some more power over the crazy and try to harness it. But like I said, if this guy, who “gets them” and came back because of it…if he can’t get it done. No one can. My two cents.

Is the athletics department going to saddle him with legacy coaches, or allow him to pick and choose his entire staff? If it's the former, then we already know everything we need to, regarding their potential for success.
