Is it the Jimbo playbook or just the Aggy playbook - culture and fit be damned, recruit those high star players so you can beat your chest about that and then later bitch they don’t “get” aggy “culture” when they fail to perform and the locker room fractures. 

Forever 8&4

It’s the fanbase. They continually demand that whoever they hire acquiesce to whatever crazy whims they have. Elko has no choice. Because they never shut the fuck up. 
 

Texas A&M will continue to be who they’ve always been: attracted to shiny things that are meaningless. They want to bring in people they can brag to the world about whether those people can play football or to munch. They’ll get that #1 portal class. And it will suck.

They are not handling Texas in the SEC well at all.

Shocking that nobody saw that coming.

The one thing Elko was supposedly doing right was getting rid of the attitude problems and establishing a better culture. It was why so many players left last year and he replaced them with G5 jags.

But the portal moves with Hudson and now Humphrey demonstrate he panicked and just went back to the same Jimbo Fisher well: players with lots of stars and other issues. I think that’s going to backfire, big time. 

It's early, but it seemed to me like Elko really did want to wash the Jimbo culture stink off of that team.

My guess is that he was given the leash to do that right up until he lost to dadgum tu, being "physically annihilated" in the process, and now he's being told to load up on stars at all costs.

Texas coming into the SEC, beating aggy, making the CCG and getting the #1 recruiting class really stuck in their craw

The aggy admin is always going to be chasing us.  Texas at least backed up it's #1 incoming class by making the SEC CG. 

Aggy got the #1 class on the heels of 8-4 and then went 5-7, 7-6, 8-4.   If Sark backs up that #1 class with 10+ wins/season and playoff appearances over the next 3 seasons, it will make their former #1 class that has fallen apart look worse.

The problem is, they're still broke. They're still paying out the ass for Jimbo and Elko.

Exactly. Because that’s all they’ve got.
 

They haven’t won a conference championship or even played for one since 98. So they have to manufacture shit to celebrate. Everything from WRTS t shirts to ‘Don’t Care Got Jimbo’ coffee mugs is an indictment of a program that hasn’t won jack shit and a school that can’t get out of its own way. 

To put this in prospective, I can remember where I watched the game the last time aggy won a conference championship. Mrs. CHIEF, and a six month old CHIEF Jr., and I had gone with my BIL and his pregnant wife to Tequila Texas at the bottom of the hill going up to Jester Estates. My niece, who my pregnant ex-SIL was pregnant with is now a degreed mother with an 18 month old of her own.
