Thank you!   I do think it odd that I find nothing about Texas A&M, or any aggy connection on his facebook profile.  

There's an older pic of him with presumably his dad and a friend (or sibling) in the stands at aggy game 10 years ago.

He apparently went to South Carolina, is wearing a Baylor golf shirt in his profile pic and also sports an Auburn sweatshirt in another picture. (Wife appears to be an Auburn grad. Whether the couple is into pegging or not is not readily apparent in their FB profiles.)

Going back a ways but, Carr Throws Far.  There was also a guy that used to post a lot in the baseball forum, but I can't remember his handle anymore.

@safe sex duh

I'm glad someone remembered the lesbians who post here and didn't have to stretch into the past for some forgotten homosexual baseball fan to put on Surly Queer Rushmore! (Not actually mad)

But I would put troph on before myself out of deference to her much longer active-posting history, whereas I lurked for many years dating back to Shaggy's early days.

To be fair, I was trying to keep it to the gays, wasn't sure how the lesbians would be to be thrown into that bucket.  It's why I didn't mention Troph either, but for my money, I'd put you both way up there on the mafia rushmoar.

These people are just angry at the stupidest shit. It’s like if you don’t cater directly to them at all times, you are the enemy. Do they know how conferences work? 

 

Chase13167253 probably lives in Bryan or Navasota.  Cypress at worst.

It's a fucking Saturday, bro.  It's not like it is December 31 or a random Tuesday during winter break.

Hey guys. I know I post a lot of stupid stuff here, but this post is serious. 

After potentially getting myself in legal trouble for copying this secret 12 Keys for A&M to win NC: the Blueprint document from TexAgs, I am strongly considering sharing it with the Texas Athletic Department. I want to ask any lawyers out there what kind of exposure do I risk by sharing it? I think Chris Del Conte would really like to see it to help better strategize about this emerging threat to our program, especially #6: 'Win SEC Matchups: Beat Alabama, LSU, and other top programs in key games.'

NOTE: I understand that there are only 11 keys here, but since the document mentions 12, I think they may have added another layer of security for that one. Any idea what it might be? 

12 Keys for A&M to win NC: the Blueprint

  1. Elite Recruiting: Sign Top-5 classes annually, focusing on physically dominant players and building depth across all positions.
  2. Quarterback Play: Land and develop a star QB.
  3. Dominate the Trenches: Build elite offensive and defensive lines with size, strength, and athleticism, having depth to sustain performance throughout the season.
  4. NIL Strategy: Use NIL effectively to recruit and retain top talent.
  5. Player Development: Emphasis on hiring elite position coaches who specialize in developing players at every position.
  6. Win SEC Matchups: Beat Alabama, LSU, and other top programs in key games.
  7. Lockdown Defense: Build a defense that thrives in big games, leveraging size, strength, and depth to dominate opponents.
  8. Minimize Mistakes: create a football culture which reduces turnovers and penalties.
  9. Injury Prevention: Keep players healthy throughout the season by managing the workload of a deep roster
  10. Fan Support: Leverage the passion of the 12th Man.
  11. Close Strong in November: Peak at the right time for the playoff push with a deep, resilient team.

Didn't Bjork come up with this revolutionary strategy before he went to go furk up Ohio's Taint?

Incorrect. That was another secret strategy that was leaked to the press by some t-sip loving reporter: 

“Bjork said they researched every team to win an SEC Championship and a national championship in CFP era. Key factors: defensive minded head coach, championship level culture, recruit and develop elite NFL-type talent, play great offense and score a lot of points with a high level QB.”

OMG, I had this exact same idea except I forgot to make my offensive and defensive lines have size and strength!  I'm going to add that one in my manifesto, "Winning SEC Style: Texas Reborn."  To be honest I kinda feel dumb for not thinking of recruiting lineman who are big and strong.

Don't feel bad. You can't match their level of insight thanks to proprietary information and metrics.

Clearly why he wanted Mark Stoops but aggy didn’t have the insight of his genius. They trumped his move with a fat Elk and told him to hit the bricks and took the podunk job he has now.

Would it be possible for a simple layperson such as myself to create his own manifesto for winning? I'm so impressed with the others, I kinda wish I had one, too. I'm feeling like I'm "on the sideline" on this deal.

Steel Shank's 12 Tactics To Return A&M To Elite Championship Level

1.      Develop first team All-Americans at every position – special teams included.

2.      Develop uniforms that recruits like and fans can support. Can generate hundreds of millions of dollars in royalties.

3.      Develop elite level cleats that are lighter, faster and provide better traction in ALL conditions. Think like the 6 Million Dollar Man! Make sure technology is proprietary so no else can match. Sue if needed!

4.      Nutrition, Nutrition, Nutrition!!! A team plays on it’s stomach. Have elite level chefs from around the world! This will help attract international players from Italy and France.

5.      Host a “retreat” for announcers and color commentators from every network, somewhere cool like Tahiti. “Enlighten” these people with the ways of A&M so that they can talk about us on the air! Great PR!!

6.      Use AI to generate gameplans that our opponents cannot match. We’ll use technology to our advantage!!

7.      Develop elite level tape for ankles and wrists! Very important to keep our All Americans healthy!!

8.      Take big games seriously! Coaches need to keep the p[layers focused and not get big heads from winning so much.

9.      Pay fans to attend far away road games. It’s important for the 12th Man to represent at every away game!!

10.   Employ mind readers to have on the sidelines and in the booth to help our coaches figure out what the other team is thinking. This shouldn’t be discussed too much so that people don’t know what we’re doing! Lose lips sink ships!!!

11.   Demand 150% from all players at all times! We need full commitment!!

12.   Make winning our standard!! Demand from everyone involved a complete and total commitment to winning. Develop a proprietary formula that separates us from the others – especially tu!!!

Treaty Oak,

I think their “12 Steps” boil down to common sense and frankly like “No Shit,” a 7th grader could’ve come up with that.

Bringing it full circle... Did you hear what Rome said about aggy?

No this is full circle.....

Spoiler

Thoughts on Texas A&M...
Fox Sports Show And Radio Host Jim Rome

1) They won't shut up. They have to go on about spirit, and old army, and red ass, and how bonfire represents the burning sensation they have in their urine to beat UT, and blah blah blah. Shut up. You start to get the feeling the entire school was built to spite UT.

2) Forget the fact that when the Texas Legislature back in the 1870's passed legislation to start a state university they also decided to have a subsidiary branch of the main school (University of Texas) that would teach agriculture and mechanics. Aggies love to say their school is older, from where they get that I don't know ... the fact is, the state intended A&M to be a branch of UT. They are like the afterbirth from the original creation. Like Danny Devito in "Twins".

3) So they apparently have this complex, so much so, that they must devote their entire school to trying to prove to UT that they are just as good. All the while, nobody at UT denies that A&M is a good school, yet they won't shut up. So they write a fight song ... about? ... Texas, and how they want to beat them. They have a Fish Camp for freshman where they tell them how bad Texas is and how good A&M and all its traditions are. It is the world's largest known case of penis envy, and it is manifested in everything A&M does.

4) The people at A&M. Now we all have friends who went to A&M or are at A&M. There are some nice people there. However ... There is the Corp. East Texas' answer to dreams of ROTC kids everywhere. For every boy scout who never learned to stop playing with his GI Joe Toys, there is the Corp. Now, forget the fact that A&M will actually let people with sub-par grades enroll if they agree to join the Corp. Forget the fact that the Corps looked like a Gestapo-hate rally while beating down students on Kyle Field in 1995. Forget the fact that along with the numerous hazing charges that have been filed against them, and swept under the rug over the years, they just this past month have had one Corps member bring charges against another Corps member who apparently had been propositioning others for a little actual sodomy. Not only could I go on with more instances of idiocracy by these Khaki-clad-shaven-headed-dorks, I am sure each of you have your own stories. The point is: We all respect West Point, Annapolis, The Air Force Academy; however, nobody respects the Corp. I imagine they are kind of the laughing stock of the military world. Just because you dress like the Army, and try and act like the Army, does not make you the Army. People at A&M don't even respect these clowns. It is not cool to shave your head and dress up. Halloween is only supposed to be one day of the year. If you want to carry guns and beat up civilians, move to Israel.

5) It is even less cool to slobber on somebody's daughter on national television and call it a tradition. Dry humping 18-year-old girls in the stands at football games is not cool. Not only is it not cool, it should be against the law. I know that in College Station, students are just prone to mount each other on the campus lawn, or in the middle of class, or anytime anything good happens you can just grab the girl sitting next to you and start sucking on her face. But everywhere else in the world, it is looked down upon. Especially if you are doing it on my TV. That is why we have moved the game from Thanksgiving. Because people across the nation were gagging on their turkey when in the middle of watching a football game, some boy scout is tongue thrashing some overweight co-ed during somebody's Thanksgiving dinner. We do not need to see burly women engaged in a suckfest every time your woeful offense manages to put points on the board. Some of these girls are in desperate need of a trip to the Clinique counter. Screw that, forget make-up, it is too late for that, just give them a veil.

6) "T.U." is not funny. It is not insulting. It is dumb. Just imagine if folks from Texas kept talking about M&A and giggling. That would not be funny. In fact, it would be r****ded. That's why UT fans don't do it. Please learn.

7) You want to lose the image of country bumpkins, of a people fond of sheep, of people that aren't stupid? Then quit building things that fall down. Quit chasing cheerleaders around with swords on national TV. Quit whooping in church. Quit whooping period. Quit putting up scoreboards for the enjoyment of dead mammals. Quit spending your Friday nights practicing how to yell. Quit telling rape jokes to reporters when you're running for Governor. When you are filling out season ticket renewals, and the form asks for your phone number, h&w. quit putting 258-3999, Height 6'3", Weight 185. Just, collectively, stop making asses of yourselves. Go to East Texas, tour every small town, and ask every red neck with a fifth-grade education why they cheer for A&M and wear maroon. That is your fan base. This is why you are perceived by the educated masses as stupid.

8) Nobody cares if you think your band is better. They might be louder, they might march in neat little zig zags, but they have no musical ability. The point is, nobody cares who wins halftime. Quit getting geeked up about marching bands. I find it hard to believe you stood through your high school band's entire halftime performance. And why? Cause nobody cared then and nobody cares now. Plus, you can hear them fine sitting down even if you do care. Why is it cool all of a sudden now that you're in college?

9) Men should never let out high-pitched whooping sounds. Perhaps the only justifiable situation in which this can be tolerated is perhaps during an anal probe. Oh wait...I understand now.

10) Dogs are not ladies. They don't look or smell like ladies. Dogs eat their own feces and should be treated accordingly.

11) Finally, College Station is an arm-pit of a town. Quit pretending that it is a great college town. It is a town, and there is a college there. That should be the end of this comparison. If you feel that life doesn't get any better than the Dixie Chicken, and enjoy being stuck in a never-ending "Dukes of Hazard" episode, then move there. More importantly, don't move to Austin ... They are trying to create an educated, technological, and open-minded population base. Austin is, and will continue to be, the birthplace and final resting place of all that is cool.

As my friend, Stephen Johnson, once said: "If the world were ever to get an enema, College Station is where you would connect the hose." If you go to school at A&M, please don't be an Aggie.

God bless the great state of Texas.

You’re welcome, Aggies. Please send your 75 million dollar check to my LLC. 
 

Chat GPT:  Create a list of 12 strategic steps to win multiple NCAA football championships at Texas A&M.  Incorporate and capitalize on the unique culture, traditions, and history of Texas A&M university.

 

Spoiler

Here is a strategic 12-step plan to win multiple NCAA football championships at Texas A&M while capitalizing on its unique culture, traditions, and history:

1. Recruit the Best Talent: Sell the “12th Man” Tradition

• Emphasize the unique “12th Man” tradition, which highlights fan loyalty, unity, and Texas A&M’s commitment to teamwork.

• Showcase the electric environment of Kyle Field as a destination where players experience unrivaled fan support.

• Use the Aggie tradition of standing together to differentiate Texas A&M from competitors during recruiting visits.

2. Establish Elite Coaching and Player Development

• Hire and retain top-tier coaches who understand Texas A&M’s culture and who can recruit Texas’ best athletes.

• Prioritize player development by building strength, discipline, and skills while embracing the Aggie values of leadership and grit.

• Use NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) opportunities as a tool to attract and retain star players.

 

3. Dominate In-State Recruiting: Own Texas

• Make Texas A&M the first choice for Texas high school football stars by leveraging deep Aggie alumni networks.

• Highlight the university’s legacy in Texas football history, focusing on its success in developing NFL talent.

• Connect to Texas pride and traditions, making Texas A&M synonymous with the state’s football identity.

 

4. Leverage “Aggie Spirit” and Unique Traditions

• Promote traditions like Midnight Yell, Reveille, Silver Taps, and the Corps of Cadets to create an immersive, culture-rich experience for recruits and fans.

• Highlight Texas A&M’s deep sense of community and loyalty that lasts beyond football.

• Use traditions to build buy-in from athletes, emphasizing they’re joining a family, not just a team.

 

5. Build a Championship-Caliber Defense

• Invest in a hard-nosed, aggressive defense that reflects the military roots and disciplined culture of Texas A&M.

• Recruit defensive players who are tough, gritty, and resilient – embodying Aggie values on and off the field.

• Develop an identity as the “Wrecking Crew” defense, reviving the famous defensive brand from Texas A&M history.

 

6. Strengthen Facilities and Resources

• Ensure Kyle Field remains one of the most intimidating stadiums in college football through modern technology, fan engagement, and energy.

• Continue expanding state-of-the-art training facilities to attract recruits and optimize player performance.

• Invest in technology, sports science, and recovery programs to gain an edge in player health and development.

 

7. Embrace the 12th Man Foundation to Mobilize Alumni and Boost NIL

• Collaborate with the 12th Man Foundation to maximize funding and NIL opportunities for players.

• Encourage alumni involvement in building the program, emphasizing “Aggie loyalty” and investment in future championships.

• Position Texas A&M as a leader in NIL support, retaining star players while attracting top recruits.

 

8. Create a National Brand for Aggie Football

• Capitalize on Texas A&M’s identity as a university with tradition and strength while promoting its appeal nationwide.

• Partner with national media outlets and leverage the SEC network to tell the story of Texas A&M’s “12th Man,” historic grit, and unique culture.

• Schedule marquee non-conference matchups to raise the program’s visibility and enhance strength-of-schedule rankings.

 

9. Develop a Balanced, Dynamic Offense

• Implement an innovative, high-powered offense that attracts elite quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers.

• Use Texas A&M’s historical success (e.g., Johnny Manziel) to showcase the potential for offensive playmakers.

• Combine offensive creativity with physicality to dominate the SEC competition.

 

10. Lean Into SEC Dominance

• Embrace the SEC’s competitive edge to position Texas A&M as the team that will take the conference to new heights.

• Use the SEC platform to attract players who want to compete against the best talent, preparing them for the NFL.

• Capitalize on rivalries (e.g., LSU, Texas) to build momentum and drive national attention to the program.

 

11. Prioritize Team Culture Rooted in Core Aggie Values

• Build a program centered on Texas A&M’s core values: Excellence, Integrity, Leadership, Loyalty, Respect, and Selfless Service.

• Foster a player-led culture that aligns with the Aggie Spirit, where leadership comes from within the locker room.

• Teach players the Aggie traditions to create a deep connection to the university and lifelong loyalty.

 

12. Win the Big Moments: Build a Championship Legacy

• Make Kyle Field a fortress where opponents fear to play, maximizing home-field advantage through fan energy and strategy.

• Perform in high-pressure games by instilling confidence through preparation, discipline, and a relentless competitive mindset.

• Cement Texas A&M as a consistent national championship contender by celebrating victories while always striving for more.

 

By aligning recruiting, coaching, and program-building strategies with Texas A&M’s deep traditions and identity, this plan establishes a path to multiple NCAA football championships while reinforcing the university’s unique cultural strengths.

Thanks, Chat GPT. Now, improve the above plan by including several points to improve perceived deficiencies of Texas A&M university, and factors which have prevented Texas A&M from achieving football success in the past.

Spoiler

Here is an improved and more comprehensive version of the strategic plan, now addressing perceived deficiencies and historical challenges that have prevented Texas A&M from achieving consistent football success:

 

1. Recruit the Best Talent: Sell the “12th Man” Tradition and Address Past Shortcomings

• Challenge: Texas A&M has historically lost elite in-state recruits to rivals like Texas, Alabama, and LSU.

• Solution: Prioritize in-state recruiting with a hyper-focused approach, offering NIL opportunities and selling the “12th Man” tradition. Demonstrate a clear path to NFL success through elite coaching and player development.

• Showcase how Aggie football is a unique blend of tradition, community, and modern opportunities to distinguish it from competitors.

 

2. Hire and Retain Elite Coaching to Eliminate Inconsistency

• Challenge: A&M has faced coaching turnover and inconsistency in leadership, leading to uneven performance.

• Solution: Hire a proven head coach with a championship pedigree who can instill a winning culture and long-term stability. Surround him with elite coordinators and assistants who excel in both recruiting and player development.

• Implement clear accountability for coaches and ensure Texas A&M does not settle for mediocrity.

 

3. Dominate In-State Recruiting: End the Perception of Underachievement

• Challenge: Despite abundant Texas talent, A&M is often viewed as underperforming relative to its resources and recruiting classes.

• Solution: Develop an aggressive and targeted recruiting strategy that includes prioritizing high school coaching relationships and Aggie alumni outreach.

• Highlight how Texas A&M’s elite facilities, SEC membership, and strong NIL infrastructure provide a superior opportunity for top recruits to thrive.

• Build trust with recruits and families by demonstrating tangible progress and wins over key rivals.

 

4. Modernize and Innovate Offense: Shed the Image of Outdated Playcalling

• Challenge: A&M’s offenses have often been criticized as overly conservative or inconsistent, limiting their ability to win big games.

• Solution: Hire an offensive coordinator who brings a modern, dynamic scheme that combines creativity and physicality.

• Develop a balanced attack with an elite quarterback pipeline, explosive playmakers, and a dominant offensive line.

• Use Texas A&M’s success with players like Johnny Manziel as proof of offensive potential when executed correctly.

 

5. Build a Championship-Caliber Defense: Rebrand the “Wrecking Crew”

• Challenge: Texas A&M has struggled at times with defensive inconsistency, particularly in the SEC, where strong defenses are vital.

• Solution: Reinvigorate the identity of the “Wrecking Crew” defense, a historic Aggie brand associated with toughness and dominance.

• Prioritize recruiting top defensive talent (especially in the trenches) and build a defense that matches the physicality of the SEC.

• Emphasize aggressive, disciplined play that reflects Texas A&M’s military roots.

 

6. Fix Program Perception Through Accountability and Results

• Challenge: A&M is often viewed as an underachiever relative to its financial resources, fan support, and facilities.

• Solution: Establish clear program goals and benchmarks for success, including conference championships and playoff appearances.

• Foster a culture of accountability where players and staff are measured on discipline, consistency, and performance.

• Publicly highlight progress and achievements to counter negative narratives and build momentum.

 

7. Improve Development and Retention of Top Players

• Challenge: Texas A&M has struggled to retain top recruits and maximize player potential, leading to transfers and unfulfilled expectations.

• Solution: Focus on player development by enhancing strength and conditioning programs, mental health resources, and life-skills training.

• Maximize NIL opportunities through partnerships with the 12th Man Foundation to ensure players are supported and incentivized to stay.

• Create a “next man up” culture that develops depth and reduces drop-offs due to injuries or departures.

 

8. Aggressively Market and Modernize the Texas A&M Brand

• Challenge: Despite rich traditions, A&M’s image can feel regional and less modern compared to national brands like Alabama or Ohio State.

• Solution: Update marketing strategies to combine Aggie traditions (12th Man, Midnight Yell) with a sleek, modern image. Highlight the SEC platform, world-class facilities, and Texas pride to appeal to recruits nationwide.

• Leverage social media, NIL, and national media appearances to redefine Texas A&M as the program where tradition meets innovation.

 

9. Establish Mental Toughness to Win Big Games

• Challenge: A&M has struggled in high-pressure situations, particularly against top SEC opponents and in rivalry games.

• Solution: Invest in sports psychology and mental conditioning programs to prepare players for critical moments.

• Instill a championship mindset through practice intensity, preparation, and film study. Make winning tough games part of the Aggie identity.

• Set a clear expectation: beating Alabama, Texas, and LSU is a prerequisite for championships.

 

10. Make Kyle Field the Most Feared Stadium in College Football

• Challenge: While Kyle Field is a historic venue, A&M must better capitalize on its home-field advantage to intimidate opponents.

• Solution: Enhance game-day experiences to make Kyle Field the loudest, most electric atmosphere in college football. Integrate traditions like the 12th Man, Midnight Yell, and Aggie War Hymn into the game flow to disrupt opponents.

• Educate fans on their role in creating a hostile environment and celebrate fan contributions as part of Texas A&M’s “12th Man” legacy.

 

11. Foster Long-Term Stability in Program Leadership

• Challenge: Turnover in head coaches and staff has disrupted momentum and consistency.

• Solution: Commit to long-term coaching contracts with clear goals and performance-based accountability. Avoid reactionary decisions and instead build a stable, winning culture over time.

• Align program leadership with Texas A&M’s values of loyalty, excellence, and selfless service to ensure a cultural fit.

 

12. Win Rivalries and Championships to Cement Texas A&M’s Legacy

• Challenge: A&M has lacked championship success to match its resources and fan expectations.

• Solution: Prioritize winning rivalry games (e.g., Texas, LSU) to build momentum and recruiting dominance.

• Set clear goals for winning SEC Championships and making consistent playoff appearances as stepping stones to national titles.

• Celebrate progress, but emphasize a championship-first mindset where Texas A&M competes for titles annually.

 

By addressing past deficiencies—such as inconsistent leadership, underperforming talent, and negative program perceptions—this refined plan positions Texas A&M as a dominant force in college football. It aligns the program’s unique culture, traditions, and resources with a modern, results-driven strategy to deliver multiple championships.
