By Billy Liucci September 1, 2021 Key notes from Billy Liucci interview You're going to see this contract be 10 years, starting from now, with an average right around $9 million per year. You're starting the existing deal over with a significant raise to make him the second-highest paid coach in the SEC behind Nick Saban and one of the highest-paid in college football. This is a great deal. We're going to look at it again as a great bargain. We've been talking about it for the last three years and how wrong people were the first time. Now they're doing it again. People don't seem to understand the no-buyout thing, and that makes me laugh. The buyout is $9 million a year, $90 million guaranteed. Nick Saban doesn't look like he's going to retire anytime soon, but say Alabama comes after Jimbo Fisher in three years when Saban is done. That's the only school that could take Fisher with the money that Texas A&M is paying. If Alabama does that, it means the next three years have been really good in Aggieland. A buyout does nothing. When was the last time a school didn't hire a coach they wanted because of a buyout? Do you think a one-year buyout, another $9 million, would keep A&M from going to get a coach? The buyout is $90 million. It also keeps the coach here. It's like the SEC not having a grant of rights. The SEC basically says, "You want to leave? Go." I don't think there is any danger of Fisher leaving. The danger is losing money. If it doesn't work, you lose money. Everyone is making a big deal about it, but it's like me and Olin living in the same neighborhood. If I saw him driving a Maserati, that's Olin's business. Not mine. The way the media is acting would be like me walking around the neighborhood calling Olin an idiot for spending that money on a car. Who's the idiot in that scenario? A&M is three years into this, and they have a pretty good idea of what they're investing in. People are saying it's only one good year, but it's not. It's one great year and three years of progress. Jimbo's first year was a nice, strong season. They finished ranked and won a bowl game, playing great football at the end of the year. His third year was a top-five finish, an Orange Bowl championship and a legitimate argument to be in the playoff. In 12 years as a coach, Fisher has a national title, a playoff berth and another top-five finish. He probably has five top-ten finishes in 12 years to go along with that. At what point do you look at that resume and say that Fisher is an elite head coach in this game? He is. It's not debatable. Texas A&M has a coach that is among the very best, the top five, in this game. If you look at what Fisher is doing in recruiting and don't feel extremely confident in your investment, I don't know what to tell you.Regarding the timing, coaches don't like negotiating during the season. What if Texas A&M reached the playoff this year and LSU spiraled? I think Texas A&M did the right thing. We got our guy, and he's locked up for as long as he wants to coach.This guy won a national title. He won 27 of 28 games with Jameis Winston in 2013 and 2014. People want to say it was all Winston, but you can't take away a guy's best player. If you take away Vince Young, what did Mack Brown do? Take away Joe Burrow, Ed O doesn't win a championship. I know what Dan Mullen has done, and I know what Jim Harbaugh has done. What in the hell have they done that Jimbo hasn't done? Mullen won a New Year's Six game, and Florida caught some criticism for that extension. The blowback shows how big the spotlight is on Texas A&M and Jimbo Fisher. For the people that say A&M isn't relevant, you're hearing most of that from Texas, Oklahoma and some from LSU. They're whining fake tough guys. If you say a negative thing about Oklahoma, the Sooners go insane. Somebody asked me if I'd rather have Lincoln Riley or Jimbo at Texas A&M, at the answer is Jimbo. Riley is a good coach, but he coaches in a league where he has five times the talent as anybody he plays. They're both good coaches, but it's apples to oranges. Jimbo Fisher is a great fit at Texas A&M. Texas might be the most delusional fanbase in American sports. They're loud on Twitter. They get these talking points, and no matter how bad their team is or how good things are going in College Station, they cannot come off their talking points. How much money did they pay to fire Herman and hire Steve Sarkisian? We know what Sark has done. You want to boil it down to Fisher not winning a title in three years? You spent $75 million to hire Sarkisian. LSU is just scared. They had that great year and smoked the Aggies in 2019, but they've lost two of three to Texas A&M. Jimbo Fisher is the guy they've tried to hire twice. Ed Orgeron is a trainwreck of a coach, and they know it. They were hoping they could possibly hire Fisher at some point, and the Aggies just put up a wall around College Station. A day ago, what was the big cry coming out of Austin, Baton Rouge and Norman? That Fisher would be in Baton Rouge in a year. That was the battle cry from those three fanbases, and they wouldn't shut up about it. Today, 10 years and $90 million later, A&M is stupid for paying it? It's a constantly moving target48 points

Supposedly these are two of the issues with the shitshow in BCS right now: 1) The money isn't super excited about perceived options on the market. Questions being asked around assistant coaching options haven't been answered in ways that get anyone excited. There's the notion of meh-if-you-do and meh-if-you-don't. That's not going to open up a bunch of wallets. 2) All of their chest-beating, including Sharp and Liucci doing so repeatedly and loudly, about money is now a problem. Gentle outreach into the agent world has been met with "it's gonna cost ya" and the expectation that anyone willing to head to BCS would receive similar treatment in the new contract to what Fisher had - meaning no performance based clauses and no tempered buyout. Plus the money would be in Fisher's range or higher. They don't have that kind of money. Hell, no one does. Texas couldn't muster $26M now, plus another $8M to release assistants, then pay another $5-20M in someone else's buyout, then be on the hook for a fresh $10+M in HC salary, plus $5M to the requisite assistants, plus the annual $7M on top of that to Fisher. That shit is insane. Perception is more important than anything else to ATM. They've now hoisted themselves by their own petard, in the aggiest of ways. They are either going to have to take the public beating of being mocked for keeping Fisher and not actually being nearly as loaded as they've claimed to be for years, or they're going to sacrifice numerous other projects and programs to get rid of the guy and hire a suitable replacement. If they try to middle it and fire the guy but make a cheap and unimpressive hire, they're still going to face enormous ridicule.20 points

No idea I didn't even know he had ALS until yesterday then I found out he was diagnosed not even a week ago. My friend from Fort Worth got diagnosed in 2017 when she was 51 I remember I called her right before her diagnosis and thought (to myself thankfully) "man it's pretty early to be this faded" then not even a week later she got the diagnosis. I have never felt so horrible in my life that I assumed she was drunk/stoned. When she could still drive she had to carry a note from her neurologist so that cops wouldn't immediately detain her. She grew up in Costa Mesa, California and was a huge Raiders fan so for my 41st birthday I took her to Oakland for MNF when the Rams came to town in 2018 by that point she had to write things down on a piece of paper to communicate with everyone The Raiders fans tailgating were so amazingly kind to her that warmed my blackened heart even though I had to repeat her story some 25+ times to everyone. The last time I got to see her I went over to her house and drove her to the hospital to see our mutual friend who was in hospice so that she could tell him she loved him and see him before he passed away. I tried to get her to go to concerts but her condition had gotten so bad by mid 2019 she didn't want to go out in public for anything. Shortly after that I broke my foot then covid hit and then soon after she passed. I miss her dearly she was a wonderful friend and always kept a cheery attitude despite being saddled with such a horrific disease.19 points

Here's something else I didn't realize until right now and, fucking wow. Apparently Texags and Liucci run the official NIL program for the school. I'm not talking about the Texags version. I'm talking about the Texas Aggies United. Some guy on 247 involved with it comes onto a thread about it and declares that Texags and Liucci "only run the servers for us" which is hilariously specious. Oh, does Texags have a monopoly on server management and infosec for aggies? Absurd. Anyway, here's some poster's response who has respect on the board and seems like a relatively intelligent and level-headed poster from other things I've seen. He mentions something that I hadn't considered, but it is quite insidious and he clearly is alluding to it happening before - Texags and Liucci turning over personal data to the AD when they've got a problem with posters. Now, NIL donors will also be at risk. Imagine if @immamac and @blacklab were often turning over info about posters to the LHF or AD? Holy shit. Anyway, here is the post: Mac1014 "RayRay11 said... (original post) It all really sucks. The only thing I’ll say is the Texas Aggies united NIL fund is not going to TexAgs. They run the website for us. That’s it. But Mac knows that." No, I don't know that. Nobody knows who is running this entity, right? Fair or not that would present a challenge for anyone wanting to stroke checks. Nobody knows what all goes on in the Texags frat house, but we do know they are a shady bunch and anything that outfit has a hand in becomes suspect. The blaring narrative right now is that, accurate or not, everyone blames A&M's establishment for being an 8 win school. They want new blood running things and people with expectations etc etc (right?) They want to be like Texas and Bama and LSU and fire coaches after three years of nonperformance. It's y'alls deal of course, and we all applaud you guys for trying hard and spending time playing around with it all. You get to see how the cake is baked and be a part of it so I'm sure it's fun to a point....but think of it like this. If you're a MAGA person, Texags represents the 'deep state' or the 'swamp' if you will....and in the spirit of fairness if you're a liberal, Texags represents MAGA people, (hopefully that covers everybody). So it only makes it tougher to a degree having TexAgs attach their name to it. It paints an image of Muffchin carrying Sharp's luggage on a weekend hunting trip with Jimbo since we've all seen what Muffchin & Co is willing to do to maintain locker room access. Anything with a 'Texags' moniker on it brings up the fact that they work for the athletic department and you never know when they are going to decide to reveal people's personal information to maintain access, or do anything they are told to by the powers that be. Everybody sees how they censor that board, and we see the b.s. Billy puts out there online and on his tours of interviews on the SEC Network with Marty & McGee and Finebaum and what-not. It's embarrassing and nauseating. Of course TexAgs has 854154801 subscribers, so I'm certain it presents a large pool to draw a gozillion $250 p/yr donors from, but I'm guessing you guys are needing more 5 and 6 figure donors to keep players from bolting in the portal. Either way, good luck to you guys because you're probably going to need a ton of money to hold onto talent around here while Jimbo gets QB's crippled and blames it on players not executing for 6 straight years. 4 top 10 classes in 6 years and he can't beat teams that haven't had top 15 classes. That's a hard ticket to sell, I'm sure.19 points

Did you not watch Malik literally almost fuck us out of a win? We win or everything Texas set out for as a goal this year is out the window. If Quinn can play and play well then he needs to fucking play. If he gets hurt again? Oh fucking well… then it’s Malik’s turn. you don’t bring the starter in to save you after you are down 14 on the road. Then you look like a fucking idiot for not playing him from the start.16 points

Because I hate Big 12 refs and have too much time on my hands I decided to look at the data for this year’s conference games and try to figure out whether there is any validity to the idea that games are called different against us. I looked only at the teams that we have played so far (Kansas, OU, KSU, BYU, Baylor, Houston). Here is what I found: Games not against Texas —— Average penalties: 5.4 Average penalty yards: 48.9 Average opponent penalties: 5.4 Average opponent penalty yards: 45.9 Against Texas —— Average penalties: 3.7 Average penalty yards: 26.0 Average opponent penalties: 6.2 Average opponent penalty yards: 48.5 Conclusions —— Against Texas, an opponent can expect to be called for ~2 fewer penalties and ~26 fewer penalty yards than their average in Big 12 play. They can expect their opponent (Texas) to be called for ~1 additional penalty and ~3 additional penalty yards than average. Officiating crews are, statistically speaking, having a much greater effect by failing to call penalties against our opponents than by calling extra penalties against us. This is consistent with the examination of holding / PI calls posted earlier in the thread.16 points

Just got home from another long day. The closing results at my location, a Republican precinct, were: Issue 1 (Abortion Rights) Yes: 451 No: 230 Issue 2 (Recreational Cannabis) Yes: 424 No: 251 We had a total of 700 votes cast in person; 685 machine votes and 15 provisional paper ballots. That’s 50% of the voters.15 points

Not in a group text, but a lady in the neighborhood has gained a significant amount of weight since her divorce. She still has a very pretty face, but yea..... Anyway, she posted a picture on FB the other day and another lady in the neighborhood responded with "Holy Shit ______, you look amazing! How much weight have you lost?" Formerly hot neighbor responded "That picture is from 2018"15 points

I’m 43 so def way past the ‘rock the vote’ age group we really need to pay attention…but I’m still damn glad to see high, sustained turnout recently. The Tea Party bullshit got me paying attention to politics, but once Trump was elected with the associated out-in-the-open racism, misogyny, anger, fear, hate and attacks on legit government functions…I now vote at every opportunity I have here for shit like local Props, School boards, etc. I suspect there are plenty of folks like me. As painful as it was, I hope repealing Roe v Wade is the high water mark for that shit…dog finally catches the rabbit and it devours him14 points
