Aggie don’t care about Texas. Really.  
 

And also winning on merit is better than winning. 
 

Like Aggie isn’t paying for their players?  It’s literally the way it works now.

And also winning on merit with young "men of character" is better than winning with "mercenaries".

I fixed that for you. Some very crucial distinctions.

Well, it’s tough. We’ll give it the ol Texas Fight, though.

Sorry, what I meant to say was,

Wow I am so embarrassed at how mediocre and overrated the SEC was once we arrived.  Maybe it was never as amazing as ESPN and aggy pumped it up to be.  Considering we:

Won the regular season in football
Won the regular season in WBB
Leading at 19-2 in baseball
Double swept men's tennis regular season and conf tournament

100% serious question for our aggy friends here: What is the source of this delusion (and that is exactly what it is) that so many of the a&m faithful have that they and their university and their fans are somehow genuinely more virtuous than the Texas faithful? I've seen this theme repeated many times on texags, SECRant and even heard it in person from acquaintances multiple  times. It just flows forth from them as though it is established, obvious fact. 

Seriously, @aggie08 or @bizzle or others? Also, any Horn fans here who have aggy friends - Have you come across this phenomenon and asked the question?

I'm genuinely curious.

My guess would be that they copied the honor code of one of the service academies. They then decided that, having an honor code, they had honor.

That tracks, MO.

I know a t-shirt aggy at a neighborhood watering hole. Nice guy. Salt of the earth. Got his GED then enlisted in the army for a 4 year stint. He'll say stuff like "I could never be a fan of a team whose fans throw water bottles on the field during a game."

When anyone points out any of the classless shit aggy fans have done over the years, it falls on deaf ears.

That and they see Austin as a degenerate hippie cesspool, so by extension UT students and alums are degenerate hippies.  Which, to be honest, is partially true.

As the NFL draft wore on into the late rounds this past weekend, there were a few notable absences from the names being called. Though everyone was talking about Shedeur Sanders's precipitous fall from a possible top overall pick to the fifth round, this masked something closer to home for A&M fans.

There were Texas fans talking this offseason about how many first round picks they could potentially put into the draft. While the Longhorns certainly sent their fair share of players into the draft overall, their number of first-rounders was three, tying the Aggies' recent best when Jake Mathews, Mike Evans, and Johnny Manziel were all selected.


Two of the names that you would often hear mentioned in the aforementioned offseason, though, were Quinn Ewers and Isaiah Bond. The quarterback and receiver duo were thought to be a sure thing to go early in the draft— but when all was said and done, Ewers went in the seventh round, and Bond went undrafted.

What Texas A&M football fans can learn from Ewers and Bond's draft fall
What do these two guys have in common? They were both transfers into a Texas offensive system that is made out to be elite, likely thinking that they would be able to improve their draft stock if they did so. In reality, it did nothing of the sort.


There hasn't been a lot of discourse about this fact, but the Texas offense last year was really not all that great. It was fine, but the defense is what carried the Longhorns last season. Bond's addition in particular was thought to be a huge coup to put Texas over the top after some similarly disappointing results in 2023, but as John Mitchell of our sister site Bama Hammer outlined yesterday, that didn't work out well for him or for Texas.

Of course, Bond's draft stock was complicated by a recent off-the-field issue, but even before those allegations came to light, he was still far outside of an early-round selection.


ADVERTISING


Ewers's story, on the other hand, deserves a little more attention as well. The former perfectly-rated quarterback coming out of high school was apparently ruined by his tenure at Texas to such a degree that he went only a few picks ahead of the infamous "Mr. Irrelevant." That's a fall from grace if I've ever seen one.

If Sark is the offensive whisperer he is supposed to be, then how did Ewers's tenure go so awry? What does this say about the future of Arch Manning, who had the exact same rating as Quinn coming out of high school even though he himself was far less proven on the field?


ADVERTISING


These are questions that aren't getting enough attention, and they should inform those viewers who look at the Longhorns with any semblance of a critical eye next year. But the larger picture is this: transfers to a school where a system will purportedly showcase your talent better— or where you can be more of "the guy"— are not guaranteed to work out.

We've seen the Aggies have some of these transfers this offseason, even. Noah Thomas is a name that jumps to mind in that regard.

The grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence, folks— and it's becoming more and more evident that such a statement is particularly true when it comes to Austin, Texas.

Bucky McMillan is showing early on in his tenure with Texas A&M that he has no fear when it comes to the transfer portal and recruiting ranks. He has come to College Station and gotten the Aggies in the thick of some big time recruiting races with high-profile schools around the country, standing his ground in more than a few of them.

It's not often that you see a coach able to bring in a transfer player from a direct rival, but that notion clearly doesn't bother coach McMillan. This morning, it was announced that the Aggies had picked up a commit from a former Texas Longhorn, one that comes at a position of real need for A&M hoops.


Bucky McMillan steals C Jamie Vinson from rival Longhorns via transfer portal
According to Pete Nakos of On3, Jamie Vinson, a center out of Oak Hill Academy in Virginia by way of Texas, has signed with the Aggies.


Vinson fills a big time need for McMillan's first team in Aggieland: frontcourt players. The newest Aggie coach has been able to stockpile plenty of guards and small forwards, but outside of Mackenzie Mgbako (who admittedly was a big time pickup), there hasn't been a lot in the way of power forwards or centers.


Even though Vinson didn't get a lot of run down in Austin, his frame— standing at 6'11"— will be a boon for the Aggies. He's an athletic big who will be able to help protect the rim, even if he doesn't project as an offensive weapon like Pharell Payne was blossoming into in the last part of the previous season.

This is a needed pickup for A&M, and it helps that it's a bit of a thumb in the eye of their chief rivals. That's a pretty good double whammy for McMillan, who continues to impress early on in College Station.

This is fucking fantastic. Completely glosses over the well known injury issues of both players he choose to focus on, while ignoring Golden and AD Mitchell.

Well the first thing to learn is to actually keep top players so they're drafted highly...they had what? 2 guys drafted in the entire first 2 days?

And, almost completely ignoring that Bond wasn't drafted thanks to his off the field actions recently and Ewers was a bit a red flag injury wise is rich.

ALSO not mentioning that Golden, a rather unheralded portal add last year, literally jumped from a middle round prospect(if that?) to the first round thanks to being in this offense, is quite the blind eye.

Plus all the RB's drafted...and TE's, and OL's since Sark has been here.  Like is he ignoring the 12 guys drafted, and nearly half of them were from the offense?!?

But sure...maybe his offense isn't any good.

Truly not trying to CR, but there is absolutely an ongoing hippy liberal scum aspect to all the "morally superior" bullshit they consistently shit out. There's also the unspoken aspect of... well, much larger mixed cultures and various heritage found in Austin vs College Station. Its there, just beneath the surface most of the time, until you try to take down the statue of one of their "heros" or they reference "hired mercenaries" regarding recruiting.

Aggie pathology isn't complicated. 

They can no longer bask in the glory of other SEC teams' accomplishments by association. They can no longer rely on an undefeated record against UT in hypothetical matchups. 

When the games actually have to be played, the losers construct a moral superiority complex to rationalize their failures. The winners fuck the prom queen and then go to texags to laugh at aggie.
