For the record, and Kayce Smith, Richest Universities in the World, in 2022 dollars.

I'd be curious to find out where the California system ranks on that list.  They seem to keep their numbers locked up.

Seems odd to include entire statewide systems on a list of individual universities.

A&M always counts the system money interchangeably with their main campus. It’s why some of them are dumb enough to think they’re the richest. They compare apples to oranges.

i just don't see it, though it would be totally on brand for A&M to beat a big name in a game that proves totally inconsequential on their way to a championship (bama) 

A&M winning a historic game is completely off brand for A&M. Literally every time they get a chance of making history, they fall flat. There are over a hundred years of evidence of this happening.

Examples: First SWC game? Lost to Rice. Last SWC game? Lost to Texas. First Big 12 game? Lost to Colorado. Last Big 12 game? Lost to Texas. First SEC game? Lost to Florida. First seven times playing Texas? Loss(es). Last time playing Texas? Loss. And so forth and so forth. Any time anything that will reverberate throughout history comes up, aggy shits the bed, like clockwork.

what if i told you....   the challenger 7 did not explode and were alive in the intact crew cabin when it hit the ocean?

You would be correct. I lived in Clear Lake for many years and had astronaut and NASA brass friends. One was on the comms channel when Challenger went down. He heard the crew voices until it hit the water. That wasn’t known for many years. I think it’s open knowledge now.

they've been collecting giant auf checks recently:

2022: the aggy auf check was 420m; last year it was 450m, but those checks are income only, they are not part of their endowment

It was known in aerospace circles within hours, but NASA and the Air Force rallied to lock it down.  Overmyer led the capsule recovery operation.  After the bodies were removed, all of the wreckage was buried here, in the Minuteman test launch silo at Complex 31: https://maps.app.goo.gl/jZjdxGNU1xQAWfNH6

And in turn , A&M treats most of their system schools like shit compared to UT.   The only school they’ve been pumping money into in large numbers and encouraging growth is Tarleton State.   The rest have taken a back seat for the most part.    Ironically the one school they are babying doesn’t have A&M in its name.  Which is puzzling since aggy is so focused on their brand.

He picks Texas to finish 12-1 and win the SEC.  The one loss?  aggy.  Weird.  Which brings up an odd thought per the new era.  Up until the BCS, this one loss would have been devastating in most years.  Lose to a rival, season ruined, no MNC game.  However, I would take this outcome every day of the year in 2024.

Texas and A&M have never been good at the same time. They almost never beat us when we’re good and we almost never beat them when they’re good. The likelihood of them spoiling our season is next to none  

Of course, they’re almost never good. They’re also always cheating when they are good.

C'mon, you know that they just ran out of time on each occasion.

Yeah, I think we know which direction it headed.  But I gotta admit, I morbidly want to see just how bad it got that even A&M social media team was like, "Eh, we're treading into inciting hate crimes according to our GC."

You mean, A&M is propping up a school who's major spirit squad is known as the Purple Poo?  The group that dresses like the Purple Klan and attends basketball games and makes the visiting team extremely uncomfortable?  YOU THINK AGGY IS OKAY WITH THIS?!

Haha! It sounds just like aggy. Replace Purple Pop with Corp of Cadets and Purple Klan with Yell Leaders and you got aggy lite.

But seriously if you look at the money they are spending on their system schools and the bling those school are getting, Tarleton is the darling. At one time I thought Corpus was going to be the darling, but they’ve pulled back. They are spending money on the San Antonio campus though.

If the local small town TV news guy isn’t toeing the company line, it must have been really bad.

Exactly.  This is pretty unheard of, someone from the local media calling out any bad bull.

The cost of beer at stadiums 2023:

Froggy has to pack their stadium somehow now that we'll never play there again.

Hmmm. I have season tickets at Amon Carter and go to 3-4 games per season. I would love to know where one can find one of these $3 beers. They do have a pregame “happy hour” special one hour before kickoff and even that’s $5 IIRC.
