I thought that back then the bowls were considered meaningless exhibition games after the regular season, meaning that the bowls didn't carry much weight as to who the champ was. 

Not like it matters, that was so fucking long ago, there aren't many people alive now that were alive then.

I don’t know if there is an official way to count this, but it is a little over 31k days between the Charge of the Light Brigade and the first game of TAMU’s 1939 season. It is about a year short of 31k days between 1-1-40 and 1-1-2024. So, around mid summer,…

My current favorite is that 1/1/40 is closer to the start of the Civil War than it is to today.

The Civil War -- yet another source of grief for Aggies.  Same result as most of their football games.

My Dad, who’s 81, played for Texas from ‘60-63. He wasn’t even born yet. Kind of puts the aggy timeframe (1939) in perspective.

Yeah, and that is a better reference for Americans than the Crimean War. But, the last Ag MNC being closer to the start of the Civil Wat has been the case for a few years now. 
 
In seven years, it will be closer to the end of the Mexican American War, than to the present. 
 
Another good reference- when the Ags won their MNC, the U.S. flag had 48 stars. Their MNC is closer to the flag having 31 stars than to now.

The entire season was an exhibition. These are the articles from the era that I got from wikipedia
Bowl vs Tulane
https://www.newspapers.com/article/times-record-news-kimbrough-powers-aggie/98922850/

Game with UT

https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-austin-american-tradition-upheld-as/98923182/

Neither mention a national championship nor do they even obssess over rankings, which is not bad a perfect season is real,  a mythical title is mythical.

That said if the aggies did have more pressure that year no doubt they lose to Tulane. It is what they are.

It started losing it years ago.  But then I was lucky to eat at some of the original ones in Corpus, back when they wrote your order on the bag.   In Austin my go to is Hill-bert's out on Cameron Rd.    I stopped for an OT Special the other day, and was pretty disappointed.  

Isn't the OT Special at Dirty's and not Hill-bert's?  Both are great places but then again I'm no Meat Pimp

Stupid sip Washington lost because they didn't think Texas should be there and they sacrificed themselves so everyone else would get the message about the BOMC sips.

Yeah. I should have been clearer.  Had the OT at Dirty's.  Switched horses in mid stream.    I really hate how they've removed the bar stools and put up that plexiglass wall at Dirty's.  Was always entertaining to interact with the cooks. 

[MAUFRAIS 6618]

Dirty’s makes a lot of weird decisions. I still haven’t figured out the point of all the fuckin’ blue barrels everywhere.

Sorry (for you) that you couldn't play at your dream school. Say hi to your pals Drake, LeBron, and whoever else you were star-fucking. I'm sure you're all still tight. Missed you on the Heisman commercials. I'll have to look closer as you're not very big. If you were bigger, maybe you could have made it in the NFL as a DB.

they can scream from the rooftops how much money they have, but this is the definition of a broke boy CFB coaching staff

how is it possible they still have not finished up the offensive side of the ball.

• OC/QB: Klein
• *RCG/OL: Cushing
• *RB: Trooper Taylor
• WR: ???
• TE: ???

Looch said BCG was coming back, but guess he's toast with Aristide being announced as the DB coach.

• DL:
• LB: the Wakeyleaks cheater guy who failed everywhere not named Army
• *DB: Ishmael Aristide
• *ST: Patrick Dogherty, who also coached TE at Duke but isn't at A&M

so they bring over OL, RB, DB and ST from Duke, they bring in another guy whose inside the Elko trust tree at LB and DL.

they bring in an OC who isn't hiring his guy at OL or RB coach? yeah. that typically works out well.

 

how is it post all bowl games and they STILL do not have all their coaching staff announced? lol

wonder if Klein is bringing over the guy who is their TE coach now with him? been there a few years. the KSU WR coach now has only been there 1 year and came from Kent State. the WR coach they had last year went back to Illinois. the guy they had before that (a name mentioned before, Courtney Messingham was at Illinois last year as an offensive assistant)

really wondering if they keep James Coley on staff as WR or TE coach at this point too. dude is still active on twitter re: A&M

---

because of how their CMS works you can poke around and see things you shouldn't potentially so as soon as their next coach is hired and in the system, it's likely going to be one of these links (ignore the name, the last 4 digits is what matters)

Took a quick look at TexAgs this morning... Mistake, this is pretty much a summary. 

 

[nnm 36340]

I haven’t waded into Texags today.  They must be very conflicted.  Bama lost but so did UT. Do they celebrate UT’s loss or mourn the fact that they can’t win their 7th MNC (by conference proxy)?  Maybe they consider the upcoming MNC winner to be illegitimate because they won’t be SECX3?

all that money, all that everything and they are spending it on Holman Wiggins?

HOLMON WIGGINS?!

remind me, how many of the dudes did he recruit who went to the NFL (that would be only the transfer)? how many WR from his his first two classes still are at Bama (that would be 0.)

no Alabama fans i've seen on reddit or twitter are upset about it, which is the #1 thing i've seen that correlates to good or bad hires. reddit specifically is just a ton of A&M flairs getting super excited about it lol

edit: numbers to back up the transfer info

they also promoted Tony Jerod-Eddie on the defensive side evidently meaning the staff is now full? https://www.goodbullhunting.com/2024/1/2/24023328/with-confirmation-of-dl-coach-tony-jerod-eddie-mike-elkos-texas-am-football-staff-appears-complete

talk about someone learning nothing from their past mistakes.

they hire an OC for a dumptruck full of money, BUT he doesn't hire his own OL, RB or TE coach - all come with the defensive minded head coach from his last stop. then you moneywhip a WR coach who is the definition of an ok hire in 2024.

what do they think is going to be different there with OC? this seems like a situation where Klein is there for 2 years, then leaves to go somewhere where he can hire his own staff...or they are going to do something dumb like fire him next year because of how bad the OL is.

that's certainly one of the coaching staff's of all time there. how many of those guys are seen as + recruiters in 2024? Spencer and Wiggins? 8/10 hires are from the very small Elko circle. OC doesn't hire his own coaches. your defensive coach brings over 3 offensive coaches and 1 defensive coach from his prior stop? Jay Bateman is going to call plays after being baaaaaaaaaad last time he play called? Collin Klein coaching in the first time outside of KSU? Trooper Taylor in 2024? one of the most well coaches of the last 2 decades in McGriff?

What a terrible coaching staff. They really think Duke coaches can compete? Hell even Charlie's staff could have easily beat them. There's no excuse for us to not mop the floor with them next season.

I'm sorry, but you have entirely too much faith in Shawn Watson, setting aside Coach Potato who likes to take defense to open both halves.  In that hypothetical matchup, I see aggy pulling out a 13-8 win, 14-10 if at Kroger Field.
