I appreciate it when posters include the players name with tweets, etc. Trying to guess based upon handles like oso8jay is damn near impossible. If you're going to post tweets then help out the rest of us by including the recruits name too, please.26 points

What Howell and Hattersley are parroting with this new take that "it's closer than people think for Gullette" has nothing to do with anything coming from the Gullette side of things. Hattersley gives you a tell in this post if you're doubting what I am relaying with his "working to confirm that with him" take. So what does this mean? It means ATM is preparing to make Gullette's camp an offer they can't refuse as a counter to recent UT momentum. The staff is coming back into the office and trying to figure out how to counter the onslaught of negative moves against them in this class and they've reached out to the guys covering the program. This is common in good or bad times for staffs to use the $9.95ers and beat writers that they trust. So someone reached out to whoever the most tenured guy for them is at 247 and they of course sat down with Liucci and his cronies because Texags is both an extension of the AD and part of their bag game. "What are you guys hearing about these players in terms of where they're leaning and why? Rank who can be reeled in and why?" These guys, likely Liucci's crew, pushed Gullette's crew as one of those that can be leveraged. The 247 guys got asked after that and picked up on it. Why Gullette? Well, he can be leveraged into making a decision. He's coming off of a recent ACL injury, so he wants to get things over with and make a choice. Someone in his camp, doesn't matter who for this board and they're not a bad actor for this, is pushing him to not make a choice right now and take two more visits. ATM people look like they're interpreting that as "so and so doesn't want him to choose Texas" because he wants to pick Texas and be done with it. ATM is incorrect about the person pushing him away from Texas. They just want him to go through the process fully and take all visits. So here's what we should expect to unfold: -Texas will make the hard push for one of two things - commit now and shut it down or -do not commit anywhere until you make a final trip here to talk through everything that's been presented to you and what we can do for you. -If he and his parents get to ATM at the end of the month, Fisher's crew is going to push him for a commitment. -They'll have several other canned commitments happen at the same time and he and a few others will get the hard "shut it down" pitch. -I don't know how much money that is going to entail, but I do not expect ATM to change their tactics just yet so that will be the play. -The player is not interested in ATM, but neither were Evan Stewart or Denver Harris at one point in time. There are major differences in this cycle, but everything is still in transition and they'll have another flicker or two of success with going full bag and figuring out NIL excuses later. They cannot do this, because no one can do this, with 5 star, top 20 guys. They can do this with the illusion of other options to as many top 250 guys as they like, especially one dealing with injury shock.22 points

The simplest answer is often the right one and here it obviously seems to be the case - The aggies have regressed to their histrorical mean as a pack of disorganized fucktards letting their mouths write checks their bank accounts can't cash and beating their chests to crow about their achievements while the rest of the world blows past them at warp speed. Ritz Bitz isn't an aggie by diploma, but he's that redass aggie that got to College Station as quickly as he otherwise could. Fisher's program at FSU started at a high level inherited from a legend. The accumulation of Fisher's behaviors and personnel choices led to its eventual collapse as he aggressively replaced substance with style. He moneywhipped the ATM program into a solid beginning staff while buying some quality classes. Ultimately though, he's going to grind his staff into rubble and the player mercenaries he's purchased won't be sticking around forever if the program can't keep up with the times. Jimbo started with Elko and has downgraded to a DC notorious on every level of the sport, and widely disliked by the players. He started with Turner, went lateral or might have even upticked the role with Henson, and now he's got Addazio on staff running point on fucking up recruitments and sure to create morale upheaval on the offensive side of the ball. He'll keep doing this with staff as he fails to achieve eye-catching results but needs guys he's comfortable with who will join him due to the money. I am sure Robinson is next after this season.15 points

There are 2 options: they weren’t paying attention when they scheduled these visits or this is a calculated scheme to game the system. I wonder which one is the more likely scenario for a program run by a man named Jimbo from West Virginia.15 points

As shitty as the last decade has been for us and as great as the last decade has (supposedly) been for them, we still have more P5 wins than they do over those 10 years (57-55). We also have more wins than they do over P5 teams that ended the season with a winning record (30-28). Their additional 15 wins over that time have come at the expense of the South Carolina States, Sam Houston States, Nichols States, Prairie Views, Lamars, and Northwestern States of college football. Congrats, I guess?14 points

I imagine this has already been posted about in the Aggie screenshot thread but since many of us do not regularly check that wasteland of depression and idiocy: Aggies completely fucked up. Rule change this year means no more official visits allowed during the July quiet period. So those scheduled OVs with Hill and Gullette? Can't happen. The dumb fucks apparently only figured this out today. Not sure it really changes THAT much but it is still hilarious.14 points

I take exception to this, sir. That painting is the Fall of the Roman Empire. But by referencing it here, you are tacitly implying that aTm, either currently, or at any point in the past, would have qualified as an Empire. Which has never happened. Instead, allow me to offer up another artistic selection:12 points

I didn't really remember much about Adazzio so I looked him up. I don't see anything in his profile that might indicate he's an asshole. Seems like a helluva guy. Urban Meyer disciple going back to Urban's ND days and then was oline coach for him at Florida. Then OC after Mullen left. In fact Meyer got him the Colorado State job after burning bridges at Temple and flaming out at Boston College He allegedly got super aggressive and completed all the logistical work getting Aaron Hernandez to leave high school early to start training at Florida against the wishes of Hernandez's high school principal. At Temple he told NFL scouts that Bernard Pierce, arguably the best player in school history, was undraftable because Addazio was upset that he wasn’t coming back for his senior year and was being “selfish”. As head coach as BC, he once got former BC player and then Atlanta Falcon LB Josh Keyes blackballed from getting free BC tickets during his NFL off week because the player liked and commented on a post on Facebook critical of Addazio. Keyes went and bought tickets himself and then was denied entrance to the game. He finally got someone to let him in. Someone from BC then called Falcons coach Dan Quinn and told him that Keyes had talked shit about BC and their program, and that he would probably do the same about him, and he was a bad character guy and they should probably cut him. Allegedly went to a BC basketball fundraising event and convinced the donors to give to the football team instead. At Colorado State, he got ejected during the first half of the final game of the season against Nevada, by rule after receiving two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties; he is just the second coach to be ejected following the NCAA rule change implemented in 2016. On senior night. Allegedly tried to skirt covid protocols at CSU, "Multiple coaches, players and sports medicine staffers told ESPN and the Coloradoan that players had been instructed to mask symptoms of COVID-19 because they might lose playing time if they contracted the coronavirus, while staffers at the school said inconsistency, misinformation and negligence around COVID-19 protocols had compromised the safety of student-athletes." Got into altercation with custodian who was trying to clean the bathroom. “What did you say to me, boy?” at which point the custodian again said, “I guess my job doesn’t matter.” The custodian told the investigator that Addazio then followed him out of the restroom and said, “I don’t think you know who I am, boy. I run this building.” He said Addazio was yelling and the custodian tried to tell Addazio to move on with his day. As the incident continued, the custodian alleged that Addazio then made what he perceived as a threat on his job. “I don’t think you know who I am. I run this place. Let’s just see if you’re still here tomorrow," the custodian claimed Addazio said. Also lied about said confrontation with custodian, "The coach told the investigator he apologized multiple times and that it was the custodian who escalated the confrontation, leaving the coach feeling “abused and harassed.” Addazio said he left the restroom and was confronted by the custodian. However, the investigator said that a review of surveillance video from the building showed Addazio "escalated the situation, became frustrated, and refused to move on from the situation." Didn't limit berating and intimidation to custodians, "Jimmy Stewart, a mental health counselor who works with student-athletes at CSU, told the paper he witnessed Addazio berate and "humiliate" a football player over an academic issue. Stewart said he believed Addazio's attitude toward the unnamed athlete, who is Black, was steeped in a racist attitude. "In that encounter with the Black student-athlete, Coach Addazio had this attitude that he's bigger and more powerful than the student-athlete," Stewart told the Coloradoan. A staff member told the publication Addazio later bragged about the incident and called the football player a "f---ing douchebag."12 points

I was listening to Dusty & Danny this morning on XM84 and Dvoracek was, of course, ranting about the horns down stuff while completely misinterpreting it and what the officials said about it. I assume he failed to grasp the actual way the rule works and why for taunting due to 2 reasons: 1) He's has a room temperature IQ and anything beyond surface level analysis is outside of his reach. 2) He was also distracted when he heard about the Big 12 Media Day comments because he was shithouse drunk somewhere, beating one of his buddies into a coma and a lifelong disability. We should just respect how these dumbfucks roll, I guess. I personal like the handwringing and histrionics over it, but I don't mind being despised by troglodytes either. Well, if I'm reading @BurntOrange&White correctly after watching his commentary over the years, if you guys keep it up, we run the real risk of having him tearfully and angrily drive his mother's 1989 Chevy Astro van into a crowd of innocent onlookers at the tailgating area by DKR before the ULM game this season.11 points

1. I won't lie, there's been a lot of soul searching ever since @South Austin compared me to Randolph Duke. I had to take a really long look in the mirror. And then a 45 minute rape shower to wash off the stench, shame and trauma. 2. I don't want it to seem like I'm participating in a which hunt. 3. Adazzio was low hanging fruit. I can't imagine anybody else on their staff engaging in any sort similar awful behavior. It's not like they employ any coaches that killed a kid or tried to protect a player through a rape allegation, right? 4. I forgot this one on the Adazzio file. What's better than this? Guys being dudes.10 points

Even better, this rule was actually approved in January 2019 and made effective in August that year. I'm going to guess it didn't really come into play the last couple of summer because of Covid? Regardless, the rule has been on the books for three years! Hilarious that I could find it in ten minutes but aggy compliance was caught off guard (and their 9.95'ers are scrambling like headless chickens and having to confirm the situation with "sources"). It's literally a Google search away. Dumb fucks.9 points

I've wasted an embarrassing amount of my day doing this, but I'm going re-post the Steve Addazio stuff with new additions from the original post in bold. Apologies for the multiple posts and thread shitting, but I think this needed to be done. I should have posted links to all this shit, but whatever. I can't believe Texas A&M hired this toxic motherfucker. Oh, wait a minute. Yes I can. The Steve Addazio file: An Urban Meyer disciple going back to Urban's ND days and then was oline coach for him at Florida. Then OC after Mullen left. In fact Meyer got him the Colorado State job after burning bridges at Temple and flaming out at Boston College. An embedded reporter at Florida who was there at the time alleged Urban didn’t want to recruit Aaron Hernandez but Addazio talked him into it. “This is what I learned about how Hernandez got to Florida. He was recruited by an assistant coach [Addazio] from Connecticut, who knew of his checkered past. Meyer balked at recruiting him. Partly because one of his assistant coaches [Addazio, again] was so passionate about signing Hernandez and partly because he became convinced “the mission” could change him, Meyer recapitulated.” During Hernandez’s recruitment, Addazio allegedly got super aggressive and completed all the logistical work getting him to leave high school early to start training at Florida against the wishes of Hernandez's high school principal who now regrets letting it happen. Also, he and Aaron Hernandez appeared to be part of the mutual admiration society. From an article when he was hired at BC and Hernandez was still playing for the Patriots, "I had a great relationship with him," Addazio said. "I had a great trust factor, obviously being from the state of Connecticut going into Connecticut [to recruit]. I thought [Florida] ended up being a terrific fit for him. And certainly so, so proud of all the things that he's accomplished. He's a great guy with a great work ethic and great talent." Hernandez was also full of praise for his former coach. "He's a great coach," he said. "He's a great person on and off the field. He can be a little intense at times, but I loved him and I loved having him as a coach." Pretty cool that Aaron Hernandez that he could be, "a little intense." Peter principled up to OC at Florida, where he was generally despised for both on and off the field behavior including putting out a terrible offense while having Tim Tebow. He tried rotating a three qb offense for crying out loud. “Often abrasive and truculent, he became notorious with demanding Gator fans this season inspiring a website firesteveaddazio.com. He juggled three quarterbacks with mixed results and insisted on running the ball more than UF backers liked in spite of modest success." Was almost hired by Mack Brown as OL coach at UT in 2010 before getting the Temple head coach job. Of all the fucked up shit on his resume which includes saying that he's "so, so proud" of a murdering sociopath who is a “great guy,” this might the most damning given Mack’s atrocious history of hiring OL coaches. At Temple he told NFL scouts that Bernard Pierce, arguably the best player in school history, was undraftable because Addazio was upset that he wasn’t coming back for his senior year and was being “selfish”. Also as part of his Urban nepotism, hired the indomitable Zach Smith while he was at Temple, even though he knew at least tangentially of Smith's domestic issues going back to when they were together back at Florida. Got called out for it years later while at BC. “While an assistant coach at Florida in 2009, I was aware that there was an issue in the personal life of Zach and Courtney Smith,” Addazio said via the Boston Globe. “I did not know specifics, and I knew the matter was in the hands of university personnel and that the couple was involved in counseling. As a husband, father and coach, I have zero tolerance for domestic abuse. There is no place in our program at Boston College for any member of our staff involved in domestic violence.” As head coach as BC, he once got former BC player and then Atlanta Falcon LB Josh Keyes blackballed from getting free BC tickets during his NFL off week because the player liked and commented on a post on Facebook critical of Addazio. Keyes went and bought tickets himself and then was denied entrance to the game. He finally got someone to let him in. Someone from BC then called Falcons coach Dan Quinn and told him that Keyes had talked shit about BC and their program, and that he would probably do the same about him, and he was a bad character guy and they should probably cut him. Allegedly went to a BC basketball fundraising event and convinced the donors to give to the football team instead. Shitcanned a staffer at CSU because he questioned Adazzio on his nepotism/sucking at the quid pro quo teat of Urban. “Anthoney Hill, the school's former player development coach and its starting quarterback in the early 1990s, said he was terminated following Addazio's hiring as head coach in December because he had expressed concerns about Addazio and the hiring of his son, Louie Addazio, and Urban Meyer's son-in-law, Corey Dennis. Meyer reportedly assisted CSU with its search, which led to the hiring of Addazio, who is Meyer's friend and one of his former assistants.” ***It should be noted that Corey Dennis got a full time assistant QB coach job with Ryan Day at Ohio State instead of going to CSU after our boy Tom Herman hired Mike Yurcich away from them to be OC here. Congrats to Corey on dodging that bullet. Refused to hire a special teams coordinator at CSU and took the responsibility for himself. Then, against Utah State, CSU lost on a chaotic final sequence when the field goal team was unnecessarily rushed on the field (they could have spiked the ball to stop the clock) and missed a go-ahead kick. Addazio placed the blame on players after the game. The next week, Addazio banned media from two days of practice availability as criticism mounted. At Colorado State, he got ejected during the first half of the final game of the season against Nevada, after receiving two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties; he is just the second coach to be ejected following the NCAA rule change implemented in 2016. On senior night. Allegedly tried to skirt covid protocols at CSU by threatening players, "Multiple coaches, players and sports medicine staffers told ESPN and the Coloradoan that players had been instructed to mask symptoms of COVID-19 because they might lose playing time if they contracted the coronavirus, while staffers at the school said inconsistency, misinformation and negligence around COVID-19 protocols had compromised the safety of student-athletes." Got into altercation with custodian who was trying to clean the bathroom. “What did you say to me, boy?” at which point the custodian again said, “I guess my job doesn’t matter.” The custodian told the investigator that Addazio then followed him out of the restroom and said, “I don’t think you know who I am, boy. I run this building.” He said Addazio was yelling and the custodian tried to tell Addazio to move on with his day. As the incident continued, the custodian alleged that Addazio then made what he perceived as a threat on his job. “I don’t think you know who I am. I run this place.

A staff member told the publication Addazio later bragged about the incident and called the football player a "f---ing douchebag." He also allegedly set up a burner account to defend himself on social media. "CSU Rams Fan." This is pretty great, with sampling of tweets below. https://deadspin.com/amid-racism-abuse-claims-did-depressed-fan-sniff-out-1844659264 This is the final tweet from that account, four days after he got fired. Joe Parker is the AD And finally.... to continue the endless nepotism, in January ATM apparently hired his son Louie from Nevada where he was the OL coach, but in no official capacity. I can't find shit on him other than he has Texas A&M in his twitter bio.9 points
