Tell Me About Texas a&m

It's a good thing Rittenhouse didn't get accepted to A&M.  Put him and Meat Pimp in a dorm room together and the ladies wouldn't stand a chance.

I am not trying to be a smart ass with this question. I’m curious what others think. 

If more than 80% of a class is gone by year 4, do they still get credit for that record? I *think* ATM has already lost right around 50% of the 2022 class. I could see them losing 60+% of what’s left from it before the ball is ever snapped in the 2025 season. 

13 of 32 of the 2022 class have transferred. 6 more leaving before 2025 would be 60%, which seems reasonable (at a minimum).

I may not have a huge sample base, but most of the photos I've seen of Elko since he was hired as aggy's next head coach show a face of significant discomfort.

He's not looking forward to the next 3-4 years, but he has to grin and bear it to get that sweet buyout.

They may have lost the bowl game but you can never take away all the conference titles they would have won in the big dumpster fire if they never left in the first place.

He could do it in two if he wants it bad enough. Two humiliating ass whippings by Texas and he can be in the Turks and Caicos before the 2025 bowl season.

I've never seen a tweet that more epitomizes aggy.  The eternal unfounded optimism, the cringy humping "tradition" that everyone else sees as insane, the goofy looks on all their faces, and the cosplay wannabe military dress up for the corps where 70% brag about how the other 30% actually serve their country.  And of course, they lost the game this was from.

They beat 3 teams with winning records, including North Carolina, which had its best players sitting out the bowl game.

Of the 9 teams they beat, 4 fired their coaches that season. 3 had first-year head coaches.

2020 was smoke and mirrors...and earned Jimbo Fisher $100MM. Cost TAMU much more than that, just not their dignity. They lost that a long time ago.

Now to be fair they had glorious wins over 8-4 Florida by three points (same team OU beat by 30+) and by a 4 loss UNC team whose entire offense opted out of the Orange Bowl.  Per Liucci, that was an awesome team that should have been in the playoffs and was equivalent to Texas' 2023 team.

Didnt know Florida was 8-4, you just take for granted they will suck recently.  Covid helped a lot of shitty teams it seems.

The next two sentences sum up the asinine, convoluted irrationality of the aggy mindset:

“Yet, in a 31-23 Texas Bowl loss to No. 20 Oklahoma State at NRG Stadium that severed the remaining ties to the failed Fisher regime, there were signs of hope and indications that better fortunes may await Texas A&M.

To be clear, there are no moral victories at Texas A&M, but the Aggies were down to fourth-string quarterback Marcel Reed, a skeleton crew defense, a lame duck coaching staff, trailing 24-6 at halftime and still were perhaps one fumble away from a chance at upsetting the Big 12 Conference runner-up.”

 

Another horrific paragraph:

“The Aggies’ potluck lineup, infested with backups, true freshmen and walk-ons, played with a passion not often seen in recent seasons.”

So 41% are gone now. Thomas, Moss, White, and Taylor are all rumored to be serious exit risks. The aggies might want Taylor gone. Going to be a rough go. I think your 60% is probably low. One of the other issues that they're not examining is that the attrition is heavier at the top. They still have Moczulski, Scarlett, Kerr, Ohrstrom, Harris and Erb. I'm not sure that is good news if those are the vestiges of the class in 2025. Losing 8 of the top 14 is certainly not optimal. Whoop(s)!!

didn't you hear? per Bjork they are a bunch of broke boys and need to cut costs. if the goal was to make him look like just another collegiate coach in front of a national audience ("we're getting back to our roots", "see he's smart he is wearing glasses", "look at how tall he is vs the announcers!", "he's saying the right things!") they were successful.

what about sending him out in some actual A&M branded merch - not the knockoff stuff - like the sideline coaches merch or some cool shit you are rolling out next year or the homefield A&M jacket or literally anything else that doesn't appear to be from walmart?

i spent a few min doing a search to try and find it so i could make fun of him for wearing some trash brand but can't even find it for sale.
