I mean that's the goal, is it not? It's not like we're saying natty or bust. You gotta start somewhere. You're telling us to do that, we'll that's what we're trying to do. We're not taking a guy like Guyton so we can laugh in Poorgia's faces and high five each other. Moral victories are Aggy's department. We're doing it so we can try to build winning rosters moving forward. It either works or it doesn't, and anyone with a brain knows it will take time either way.
Maybe you're right about Joey, I have no real investment in him at all, if he gets it done he gets it done. Great. If he doesn't, cya. Find someone else. You guys still being upset years later about some dumbass hyperbole he engaged in trying to hype his players up after a win is amusing to me, at least. Don't be so thin skinned.
Like I said, the alternative is to just not try at all. Also, the notion that the money is going to run out is just cope. Tech's not losing money here. The athletic department isn't poor and being propped up by a single dude like Oklahoma State's was for so many years. As long as the will is there, so will the money. Tech has plenty of wealthy donors, not as many as Texas, but it's not as far off as you might think, either.
Also, I don't think the comparison to Aggy's spending sprees are apt. Every single person that goes to A&M that isn't a creepy WASPy cult freak is a fish out of water there, and they aren't trying to build a culture. They have an established, all-encompassing culture that is never going to change and that most players will never feel like they're a part of. That's not really the case with Tech, even with Lubbock being out in the middle of nowhere.
