It would blow Leon’s little mind if he were to take an economics class. 

aggy’s pricing of 35,000 student tickets at the ridiculously low price that ensures tickets will be sold (he is crowing about ticket sales, not turnstile attendance) actually diminishes the aggy educational experience by not maximizing revenue to provide for the students who care enough to attend classes.

Heaven forbid anyone on the A&M campus prioritizes academics over cultural indoctrination or athletics. 

But hey, Leon, begging the legislature for additional funds because you don’t maximize existing resources is an aggy turdition.

The iron grip those rednecks maintain on perpetuating ignorance is utterly astounding.

This didn't end the way I thought it would.  Where's the "Fuck aggy"?

Watching 4th & Goal on Amazon Prime about a group of kids from a San Francisco community college trying to make it to the pros, it came out in 2010.  One of the players is Dequan Mobley that went to atm from there, they ask him what his major is once he gets there “agricultural development, that’s what every football players major is”   He then said I wanted to switch to African American history but this is Texas atm of corse they don’t have that.   Lol

FWIW, TCU v. tOSU checks in at #18, 7 spots ahead of A&M's first appearance at #25 versus Bama.  Immediately after A&M's first appearance is OU vs. WVU with only 20k fewer viewers and Texas/OU with 42k fewer.

One of the responses was "LSU/aggy was on the SEC Network" as an excuse.  The lack of self awareness is not surprising.

[Randolph Duke 4034]

Since we are on the topic of aggy law, a story that has been brewing in the background.

As a preface, remember the aggy law school is trying to specialize in IP law.

Which is what makes this so much more aggy than it otherwise would be.

A few years ago, a writer from Birmingham, Alabama researched the aggy "12th Man" story, wrote a book, and submitted a draft to aggy athletics to review. The aggy athletics morons stole the contents of his book and used it, without the author's permission, as content for the school's website(s). They stole his IP, while simultaneously claiming to be experts in IP law.

In researching his book, the author reached out to the heirs of E. King Gill (the aggy who came out of the stands in 1922, that no one cared about in the least at the time, and that the aggys later built their "12th Man" fairy tale around). The author was going to share royalties from the book with the Gill heirs. Of course, that got scuppered when the aggys stole the content, rendering it of little commercial value. Needless to say, the Gill heirs are not pleased with the "aggy nation." I will save their supposed comments for private discussions.

So the author files suit. As they always do (cough*bonfire*cough), the aggys hide behind sovereign immunity. On initial review, the claims against the school get tossed because of sovereign immunity, but the case still lives because defendants in their individual capacities are name.

But wait, there's more...

The case is still alive and possibly will depend on a case soon to be argues before the U.S. Supreme Court.

For those knowledgeable of legal bloviation, Knick v Township of Scott, 139 S.Ct. 2162 (2019), and Allen v Cooper, No. 18-877, 2019 WL 134012 (U.S. June 3, 2019).

In short, Texas A&M, claiming an expertise of their law school in the field of IP, may be on the losing side of an action piercing state sovereign immunity, with the cause of action being the theft of IP. All over their beloved "12th Man" fairy tale.

You should have read the lame argument made on the City-Date forum by an aggy rancher to justify their stupidity. He never even attempted to mention the point I made how useless another law school would benefit the state already flooded with lawyers.

The argument against aggy having a law school was geographic. (But of course, the ignorant rednecks insisted it was a conspiracy against them).

Undergrads go away to college and expect, at age 22, to pick up and relocate to wherever. Grad students start to build lives. They often build relationships with those who are not expecting at any moment to pick up and relocate to some random community. Individuals finishing their post-graduate education are far less likely to relocate than individuals entering post-graduate education. Which is why the geographic location of publicly-funded post-graduate institutions is extremely important to supporting the needs of the state's economy.

The reason A&M was not granted permission to have a law school in College Station was that there was no need for the public treasury to subsidize the education of attorneys wanting to live in College Station or Houston. The supply of attorneys in those locales was more than sufficient. When A&M had the opportunity to assume operation of a law school where the need for additional attorneys was pre-defined, there was absolutely no objection. aggy got their beloved law school.

The problem with the supply of veterinarians in Texas is that there is an insufficient supply of large animal vets to support ranching in west Texas. Not enough of the aggys vets, having been trained in College Station, want to pick up and move to some random community in the wasteland of west Texas.

So Texas Tech administrators step in and offer an impressive and cost-effective solution. aggy administrators, having ignored the problem for decades, offer a reactionary response and propose some expansion of the aggy vet program in Amarillo, essentially throwing taxpayer money at a problems aggys have long failed to even acknowledge.

The problem with the vet school conundrum is that the A&M administrators lack the long term vision to identify and address the problems related to supplying enough veterinarians to support the state's ranching economy. All the aggy administrators care about is pumping out urban poodle doctors who will hopefully buy over-priced season tickets to aggy football games.

Texas A&M administrators are intellectually incapable of addressing the needs of the state's ranching economy. The people of Texas don't need money thrown at problems that could be more effectively addressed by officials on the public payroll embracing the need for changes in how public subsidies are supporting the state's economy.

We all have long known aggys are incapable of embracing chance and innovation. aggys are incapable of being forward-looking and serving the needs of the taxpayers who stand between the continued existence of Texas A&M and our collectively finally admitting the agricultural and maintenance Land Grant experiment has failed in Texas.

The people of Texas need to support the Texas Tech vet school initiative. If, for no more succinct reason, because the people of Texas deserve better than Texas A&M.

A&M is little other than special needs students.

Those ignorant idiots actually believe their school was founded as a great military university, on par with the leading inquisitions of higher learning around the world.

In reality, it was a glorified reformed school that assumed a corps of cadets because of the need for a disciplinary structure for the miscreant farm kids.

Texas A&M was no more founded as a military school than was Prairie View.

From the start, Texas A&M was established as a school where kids who couldn't read were taught vocational skills without the need for textbooks.

To this day, the Texas A&M experience places culture above academics. It is still a glorified reform school for individuals with low intelligence and low self-esteem. Why else would they have the litany of fairy tale fraudulent lies they call "school history?"

Supposedly, there is something called the "Brazos County World War I Centennial Committee" that is trying to alter history to falsely inflate the contributions of aggy students during WWI.

With aggy, the ignorance and dishonestly never ends. aggy culture personifies "special needs."

I wonder if this is what aggy means by being "a better cultural fit with the SEC"? (To their credit, the University of Mississippi is likely to kick out these losers who posed thusly in front of the Emmett Till site):
