You would at first think they lost a bet...., but then realize this is their normal attire. 

90 miles is too close. Weird ass school/turditions.

Fng aggy is about to win the CWS today. They’ll finally have something to go into their cavernous Hall of Champions.

If you thought they were insufferable, thinking they had a great sports program, wait until they actually have the title/hardware. Now aggy will say they “belong,” just like Coastal Carolina.

Hook’em!!!

My first csb: Oldest sister went to aggy. Was there during the end of Farmer Fran, beginning of Sherman eras. She was a 2%er and the only time she ever went back to aggyland was when my stepbrother graduated. That was almost 10 years ago. Stepbrother only went there because he was offered a full ride scholarship and was also a 2%er. Has not returned to aggyland since graduation and has no reason to ever go back. He hated a lot of those turditions. Freshman year he told me his then girlfriend dragged him to midnight yell once(he was there during the Manziel years) and he thought it was the stupidest thing ever and a waste of time. To quote my brother: "So instead of hanging out at the bars at Northgate or going on a "real" date, we go yell in the stadium at midnight? Fucking retarded." 

Second csb: My youngest brother's best friend in high school got a scholarship offer to TCU. Instead, his aggy honk dad made him turn it down and told him he was going to aggy to be in the corps. When the kid protested saying he didn't want to do that or enroll at aggy because he didn't feel like he belonged there, his dad told him tough shit along with something like, "I was in the corps and so were your older brothers, cousins, uncles and both of your grandfathers so this is what we do. You don't have a choice." Last time I heard, the kid hated his college experience and was trying to find any way to get the fuck out of aggyland. Also resents his dad for forcing him to join the corps. 

Of the few friends of mine who attended ATM, every single one of them was a 2%.  They went to become vets, engineers and in one case, to inherit his family's feed store/agribusiness.  They all hated the Corps.

It's bad enough that circumstances force me to attend church every Sunday to listen to a politicized sermon, but the associate pastor opened today's service by bringing up aggy in Omaha.  

I understand.  Our pastor’s son is a student there.

Yeah, I've worked with a half dozen A&M engineers.  All were fairly rational and pretty dismissive of the corps and that mentality.

They act like that, but get them together in a group.

Nah, I worked with 4 of them at one time, they weren't nutso.  Pretty good engineers, too, although not terribly creative.

"Pretty good" is always the first box I check when hiring someone. Not "the best" or "great".

Yup, all the ag engineers I've worked with have ranged from okay to very good.  A couple of them followed sports and we traded friendly rivalry banter but none of them were psycho about it.

Man, can't wait to see the baseball run plastered on the side of the football stadium in the fall...

Do you think Schlossnagel will be invited onto the field at halftime to honor the national runners up baseball team as the coach of Texas?

Dude's going to get a parade and they'll offer him all the sheep he could ever want to keep him on campus.   So when he does leave, of course they'll hate him with the fury of a 1,000 bonfires.

Pripyat was way, waaaaay more colorful than aggy, and actually had some cool architecture outside of those dorms. It's also surrounded by cool shit like an amusement park and beautiful rivers. Aggy is more like North Korea, completely devoid of character:

there is truly no place on earth quite as uniquely ugly as college station

It’s like you’ve never been to Wichita Falls. Or San Angelo. Or Midland-Odessa. Or Corsicana. Or Waco. Or El Paso. Or Seminole. Or Lubbock. Or Post.

None of those places have the mix of great famine era north korea landscape, soviet era architecture, milk men statues, a tribute to jenga victims, and farms growing maroon carrots like college station.

Also posting this Mac Engel column here for the people who don't follow baseball:

https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/offered-one-reason-why-jim-162910055.html

Quote

The timing is absolutely terrible, because it always is in these instances.

On the morning his team prepares to play the decisive Game 3 of the College World Series, Texas A&M baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle has to deal with the speculation that it will be his final game with the Aggies.

Because it makes sense that, win or lose, his tenure in College Station is over.

This is what happens when the University of Texas athletic department has any opening, from janitorial staff to a head coach. Few schools in America can install preventative measures to successfully avoid the “Texas Longhorns Are Hiring” earthquake aftershocks.

Sorry, Texas A&M; you’re in the SEC which means you’re special, but on this, you’re no different than Texas Tech or TCU.

Texas is Texas. Austin is Austin.

If Texas calls Texas A&M’s baseball coach with a job offer, it would be a surprise if he passed. These two have flirted before.

On Monday morning, University of Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte issued a statement confirming what had been a source of nationwide speculation for the last two months. UT fired baseball coach David Pierce, thus creating an opening for one of the most coveted jobs in the sport.

Pierce was the head coach at Texas for eight years and won three Big 12 championships, with three trips to the College World Series. Texas hasn’t won a national title since 2005, so ... you’re fired.

“It was a difficult decision for us both, but we have mutually agreed that we should make a change,” Del Conte said in a statement.

Pierce issued a statement where he expressed gratitude, and that it was time for a change. It helps that Pierce has two years remaining on his contract that pays him $1.2 million per year, and he is entitled to at least 70 percent of that total.

Whom might Del Conte know who might be interested in the job? Everyone. Chris knows everyone. And everyone will want this job. Neither is an exaggeration.

This includes Texas A&M’s Schlossnagle. Del Conte was the TCU athletic director from 2009 to 2017, and his baseball was Schlossnagle.

The TCU baseball program thrived under Schlossnagle in that time. The two had a solid working relationship, and Del Conte extended Schlossnagle’s contract a few times.

When Schlossnagle left TCU for Texas A&M in 2021, a prevailing thought around TCU was that had Del Conte still been at TCU he might have been able to convince him to stay. On this, it’s doubtful even with Del Conte’s sales skills Schlossnagle would have remained at TCU.

In his tenure at TCU Schlossnagle considered other jobs, including Mississippi State, and there were rumblings that Texas wanted him back in 2017. Only until the spring of 2021 did the timing fit for him to leave.

Would he leave College Station after only three years, including this one where he has had the best team in the nation throughout the season? Regardless of the Aggies’ result against Tennessee in the final game on Monday night in Omaha, Texas A&M had one of the best seasons in program history.

His contract situation will make an exit to Texas expensive. According to Danny Davis of the Austin American Statesmen, Schlossnagle made $1.35 million this season, and his “buyout is twice as high if he’s hired by another in-state school.”

The Aggies should have just called it, “The University of Texas provision.”

And, if Texas calls and offers you the job, not only are you listening you’re probably leaving.

Ask Texas Tech about this. Or TCU.

Texas Tech did everything possible to keep basketball coach Chris Beard from leaving Lubbock in 2021, but once UT called, he was gone. Because of Beard’s off-the-court-life, that move turned out to be a disaster, but in the moment when he left it was a slap at the Red Raiders.

When Del Conte was athletic director at TCU, he routinely fielded offers from other universities. He said no to all of them, until Texas called.

There are some jobs that are bigger, and “better,” than the rest.

Since Texas A&M left the Big 12 in 2012 it has spent every available dollar to build a top tier athletic department, and to compete in the SEC. If you can look past the hiring and firing of football coach Jimbo Fisher, which may not be possible, Texas A&M is a premier job in the best league in college athletics.

It’s also not the University of Texas.

As much as the Aggies may like to denigrate the “tea sippers” with taunts of “tu” among a thesaurus of four-letter words, the name Texas is next to Ohio State, Alabama, Michigan and a few others at the top of the college sports pyramid.

Doesn’t mean Texas A&M is a bad job, or a bad place. It’s just not Texas.

If Del Conte calls Schlossnagle, the Aggies should prepare themselves that their baseball coach will pull a Davy Crockett and utter an abridged version of, “You can go to hell — I’m going to Texas.”

It doesn't matter how many times I see the gomers do their yell practice shit, I always end up rolling my eyes and shaking my head.  It's so BAD that the ridiculous nature of it simply can't be tempered by the passage of time or repetition.

Wasn't an aggy in charge of building the Allen TX high school football massive stadium that failed right out the gate?

Yes. And that's one of the rules my dad always taught me to live by: never put an aggie in charge of anything.
