Do they have to pay his full contract if he is dies of a heart attack?

 

 I ask because this might be the first time an athletic department assassinates a coach to get out of a buyout.

I thought one of the more unhinged Texags lunatics might do that with Jimbo. He is what is crippling everything currently. Not his culture, not his players, not the remnants of his program. His contract. It is a dark cloud over everything the TAMU athletic department needs to do. They have to hit that nut first in their fundraising and donor commitments, and only have margin above that for their current and future needs. 

If they had a lick of sense, everyone who sniffed that contract should be strapped to a SpaceX booster and jettisoned to the sun.

TBF, recent history shows strapping them to a SpaceX rocket gets them to somewhere off the east coast of Florida before it disintegrates, which might be worse than being jettisoned to the sun.

Their vacuum engines suck, just like aggie sucks

I'd say the only way he'll make it to 2030 is if he cuts out the sweets, most of the other carbs, gets regular exercise and goes on statins and BP medication.

Oh oh oh Ozempic!

Assassinates?!  Just build a Waffle House in CStat already, and the situation will resolve itself.

Would death clear aggy from paying the rest, or do they still owe his estate?

He won't die, he'll just run out of clear arteries.

Front row, second from left in pink top is not a woofer.

She's wearing white shoes before Easter. Would not bang.

I think the gash in the middle of the front row is named 'Kristy". Don't ask me how I know.

That needs to be annotated with thigh measurements and BMI’s.

I can’t tell who to ‘x’ and who to theoretically bang.

NSIAP - 

While driving between two appointments yesterday, I submitted myself to the Paul Finebaum show.  He had Billy Liucci as a guest.  Before and after, Finebaum took calls.  I'll start by saying that Liucci was the smartest person Finebaum spoke to while I was listening.

Liucci mentioned that Elko was taking over the defense and that what happened last year will not happen again this year.  IIRC, they had some sort of audio clip of Elko.  It's not a ringing endorsement of his co-DCs Bateman and Peterson.

He's losing 3 defensive linemen, a couple of DBs, etc., so diving in to have more ownership is not exactly smart for his career at aTm.  Seems like an odd/panic statement this early in his tenure, esp. given that the defense performed OK during the season.

The defense did seem to wane in the latter part of the season in the latter part of games.  Conditioning?  Tells?

Regardless, it seems odd to publicly declare it...

He’s smarter than most of surly. He figured out how to grift and fleece the rubes, and has done so for decades, employing his family, and making millions. He’s not a dumb man.

True, but that was not my angle.  His control of the English language and ability to articulate a single thought was in the upper 1% of Finebaum callers.  I did not listen long enough for 100 callers, but you get the point.

Way less stress and pain doing what he’s doing and he still is making huge $$.

Really now, just how difficult can it be to fleece the “salt of the Earth….you know….”?

He just knows his audience better than anyone else, and tells them what they want to hear.

I found Looch's bio, which is incredibly cringe-worthy, not to mention devoid of prescience.  Spoilered for length.

Spoiler

Bio: Billy Liucci is what you would call a "guru" in Texas A&M Athletics. He owns and operates the Maroon & White Report, which is devoted to covering Aggie sports, with an emphasis in recruiting.
Was Billy a football player? No.

Did he work for the A&M football team in college? No.

Liucci was an industrial distribution major who was destined for a career as a nerd...I mean, as an engineer. Fortunately for him, he met former Texas A&M lineman Steve McKinney.

McKinney and his buddies had an open room in their house and needed a roommate. Desperate to fill the vacancy, they asked Billy if he wanted to move in. 30 minutes later, they had a new roommate.

That is where the legend of Billy Liucci began. For several years, Billy roomed with football players and hung out with all their friends. There was one problem...he was getting older and all his friends were all in their early 20s. Dazed, confused, and searching for an answer, Liucci went to Blockbuster and randomly selected the high-quality flick, "Dazed and Confused." And it was that night that his answer became clear.

"I keep getting older, they stay the same age," said Matthew McConaughey's character. And that is when Billy Liucci had realized his purpose in life: high school recruiting!

Billy took over the Maroon & White report in the late '90s. Since then, recruiting has blossomed into a full-time, year-round business...and nobody covers it better than Liucci.

Billy eventually moved into his own home, where he lives with his dog, Graham. He has become a multi-media legend, covering Texas A&M sports on television, the internet, newspapers, magazines, and radio!

Yes...Liucci is in his 30s and has a job where he has to communicate with a bunch of 17-year-old kids. But Looch embraces the awkward moments and tries to dress as young as possible. This won't work when he's in his 50s, but we'll worry about that when the time comes.

There’s dumb (the American voting public) and then there’s even dumber (aggy), without the drawbacks of being up for election

As I alluded, he's now 51:

The reality of the predictable late season swoon;  the mercenaries don't really "get A&M", they only fight while they think the fight is winnable. When the roller coaster crests and begins the downhill slide, the rats jump ship, and viola, 8&4.

The business Hall of Fame includes the eskimo who started selling ice to the eskimos.

Looch perfected the business model, realizing fish camp funnels every aggie to the wishing well.
