Texas A&M plans to take over old Macy's building for new e-sports facility

University officials will visit the site at Post Oak Mall this week to discuss turning it into the home of over 2,000 students active in e-sports.

https://www.chron.com/news/article/texas-am-esports-macys-18653360.php

GET YOUR LICKS IN NOW. Aggy is about to be swimming in "sports" championships. Kroger Field is last century, it's now all about Macy's Lan Cafe.

Their new champions factory fits in so well with the other architecture on campus

<Holy Grail>But you see... we've already got one!</Holy Grail>

And of course, ours is sponsored by Alienware...

The move to Macy's has many advantages. Paying off Jimbo and losing their ill-gotten Qatari money means they have to scrimp everywhere they can. Big savings on signage!

So they're all saying "fuck you" to aggy? I can get behind this. From a thing about etiquette in Qatar:

"Hand gesturesTo prevent being misinterpreted, avoid the following gestures: Using your finger to ask (gesture) anyone to come to you or to point someone or something; instead, you may use your hand-palm. Doing the thumbs-up sign – it has an offensive connotation, like using the middle finger in western countries."

Just dropping by to say that Qatari thumbs-up picture is maybe the creepiest thing I've seen this month and I watched a machete attack downtown.  

Imma peace outta this conversation before folks get all butt-hurt about sharing value sets with Aggies.  But I warned y'all awhile back, this is gonna real fucking ugly before you feel better.  From Los Alamos to Doha, the Aggies and our government fucked us over.  This goes way beyond typical A&M ineptitude.  But y'all will find a way to excuse it in the name of justice and files.  Godspeed, fucking morons.

I’m confused if you think people here are going to be taking aggy’s side on any of this. They’ve proven to be led by corrupt men on their academic and athletic sides, and one shitheel sits at the top of it all.
 

It’s almost as if John Sharp shouldn’t be employed by a governmental entity.

The Texas-Exes has a "Top Hand" award they give to alums that go above and beyond in service of the Association and the University.

To your point, A&M should have a "Top Shitheel" award and they'd literally fight one another for the honor.

[Tex Pete 20,488]

John Sharp has embraced shady accounting, shady sources of funding from foreign governments, backdoor deals, and corruption. He has also severely degraded their academic efforts in pursuit of being the biggest and having the most alumni solely for the purposes of increased donations. He has made his school a laughingstock in every realm.
 

Only a fucktard would try to spin those observations into something political. Let the adults talk, dick breath.

I think he and I have the same number of usernames at this point.  I dunno for sure but I guess 2 each?

I know you're not an Aggie Defender, Barbara.  Calm down.  It just sometimes seems, sports allegiances aside, you share way more in common with Aggie-type approach to life than normal people.  It's okay, cults need followers more than leaders.

Texas A&M University to close Qatar campus

The decision comes after an antisemitism think tank alleged last month the Qatar government had control over nuclear research at the branch campus. Texas A&M has denied it.

The nonprofit, which describes itself on its website as a center “dedicated to the academic study of antisemitism,” sent a letter to U.S. officials in January alleging that Qatar had “substantial ownership” of weapons development rights and nuclear engineering research being developed at the Texas A&M campus, which they claim is a threat to national security. The letter came a few months after ISGAP released a 17-page report where it alleged it had discovered a “disturbing relationship between Qatar and Texas A&M University.

So owns the research? aggy or Qatar? A half ass investigative journalist could get to the bottom of this. 

I'm sure Qatar owns the research because money. 

[YGIFS 19,452]

I'm sure 'the Battalion' student newspaper is all over it.  

(checks notes)

Sadly, the entire staff was terminated by the Qatari campus newspaper 'The Daily Katiba', and all female reporters were executed for asking questions.

This feels like something Newsweek would have been all over back in the day. 

I think aggy was judiciously trying to get out in front of a 60 Minutes segment. I doubt much more will come of this story.
