I still can't believe they distribute tickets to students in that manner when they're going to be begging people to fill up that monstrosity. Do any fellow olds remember standing in line at Belmont and handing over your IDs for your group and watching them spin the wooden box full of tickets like lotto balls? Mind you kids, this was 1985, or 2022 in bryan/college station.

Sir, 1939, 1985, or 2022, you just don’t understand how the fighting Texas Aggies of Texas A&M’s Aggies’ of Texas’s turditions work. We just can’t explain it so you can understand it.

Other twitter rumor is that one of the Aggie trainers caught two Aggie players tag-teaming a woman who was not associated with the team in the locker room.

hmmm...so that rules out Jimbo's ex-wife...

In all honesty, I'm impressed that an Aggie knows the word "apotheosis. "  Probably did his undergrad at an Ivy League school.

From apotheosis to apostasy.  From Jimbo being the perfect manifestation of coaching genius to a total loss of faith.

Tote that garbage can Billy.  College football players can be dumb but they are NOT THAT DUMB.  If they did any of what is rumored to have happened it was extremely intentional, with the design of getting caught and making the coach and program look like the dumbasses that they are.  You should be MUCH more concerned about how that gets bred into your culture so quickly.

I would normally say this is a stupid take (cut nose of to spite face) but it’s evident that those players are idiots and would never have the simple critical thinking skills to reach the conclusion that they are also fucking themselves.

Idiots maybe but not that dumb.  You can smoke weed anywhere, choosing the locker room as the place to do it had some sort of motivation even if it wasn't as contrived as I stated it sure was designed to be a "fuck you Jim" (again if any of that is really what happened, could also just be Loochspin to try to shield other problems)

Yeah, this has a "Fuck you, kick me off the team" vibe. I am not sure if there is some sort of language in their "NIL" packages saying that they can't quit the team and get paid, but maybe nothing about being thrown off the team for misconduct. Learned about contracts from the best in the biz. That's all I got.

Holy crap. I know it's hilarious because it is representative of how bad they are and they totally deserve it all. But damn, did those guys just ruin their chances of any other teams wanting them? That's pretty damn egregious. Basically saying "fuck you" to Jimbo and the school.

Boomer!!! Sooner!!

Are you actually suggesting that there are lawyers somewhere who would write a contract where someone gets paid, no matter what?

Anyways, a program who has never won anything in the modern era of college football will continue to underachieve. Jimbo better get it together, or he will go down as one of the biggest failed hires ever.

At this point, we may be witnessing the best A&M collapse in the modern era.  This pleases me greatly.

Yeah our shit sucks (or is pretty meh) but we are only in year 2 of Sark with an end in sight if it doesn't work out.  And we weren't ranked top 10 with CFP playoff aspirations. 

A&M is collapsing into a $100 million hole with a 3-4 record in year 5 while a nice chunk of their #1 rated cla$$ is suspended.

The dumbest thing was the media buying into them, and the apparent shock at them not being good. Nothing in their history, even recently, has given them that benefit of the doubt. Nothing.

In 2021, both coaches signed long-term contracts:

Jimbo Fisher:  10 years, $95M ($9.5M per year on average)

Steve Sarkisian:  6 years, $34.2M ($5.7M per year on average)

 

I mean, the difference is astonishing, especially given the results on the field.  (Not that Sark is lighting the world on fire, he most certainly isn't.  Then again, we could write the buyout check tomorrow.  A&M, not so much.)

I always hear the term "underachieve" when people speak or write about ATM's lack of sports accomplishments over the years. Why is it "underachieving" when it is consistently the same range of performance for decades without end? Wouldn't that just mean "achieve"? As in, "ATM will continue to achieve it's typical middling mediocrity as a football program."

It's always bizarre to see the premise that ATM is some sort of sleeping giant. Why? They're in a fertile recruiting area with plenty of money and a flash conference, fine. But what else? They are surrounded by schools with those same advantages with richer histories, less weirdos, and some are in far superior cities with far better academics. There's nothing compelling about that university to justify higher expectations than the mediocrity supported by more than a century of consistent mediocrity.

Failed kind of depends on your perspective. If I got paid over $100 million by Texas A&M to crater their football program I would consider it my crowning achievement.

Garrett Carr better get ready for that dreaded aggy internet boycott, especially with these comments.

It is hilarious that this is happening to the most morally bankrupt staff and program in America. They went out and straight up bought recruits, then head coach Jimbo Fisher chastised anyone who suggested they did what they clearly did.

The A&M recipe for why I am laughing my arse off at their misfortunes: 

1) Leave the Big 12 to get out of Texas' shadow, spend your entire existence in the SEC convincing everyone you belong and that Texas is not your big brother. Added points for talking down to fans of schools that you perceive to be "beneath you". 

2) Spend a repulsive amount of oil money on stadium upgrades, coaches, and purchasing the best recruiting class in history. Basically an attempt to purchase a blue blood card.  

3) Convince yourselves that all of those recruits just really like the milkmen and College Station, Texas. The money had nothing to do with it. 

4) Talk loads of shite and act like your program is a mixture of Notre Dame's history and Alabama in the modern era.  

5) Have a bunch of extremely off-putting and strange cult-like traditions that you defend and seem to truly believe make your program special. 

6) After anointing yourselves champions of the world in the off-season, sit at 3-4 midway through the 2022 season with about half of that shiny 2022 recruiting class either kicked off the team or injured. Featuring losses to App State, Mississippi State, and South Carolina. 

7) Realize that you might have to pay nearly $90 million just to hit the reset button.
 

secrant gets aggy!
