    Fuck Urban, but where were the police in all this?  They really look the other way if they think she's getting the shit beat out of her?  There is usually a pretty strong contingent of "fuck these entitled cunts" on the police force/district attorney's offices in college towns. 

    Obviously if she were too scared to cooperate it makes it tough, but I just don't want to believe there could be that many people that saw this and they all just said dot the i. 

    You're avatar...lmao

    The great irony of this thread is that Smith turned a position at Texas down when offered to him by Herman who was well aware of his relationship issues.

    The same Herman who hired Casey Horny.

     

    This misinformation campaign needs to stop Urban. Shouldn't you be enjoying your time off?

    Getting a dig in on the school that you have lost 7 in a row against.  Reminds me of.......

    If you take away the long win streak, the players in the NFL, the history, and National Championships... A&M is just a better a program.

    Again the cover up is worse than the crime. I don't think he's fired but holy hell the couch burners aren't going to forget. Also I am sure a few coaches around the country will be happy to remind potential recruits mom (especially) and dad that he basically allowed a known wife beater to stay on his staff and coach his team. Not a good look at all.  

     

    If Urban does keep his job, I could see his dirty recruiting getting worse. This is a guy who basically coordinated with Zach Smith to do an interview stating he (Urban) should keep his job, and then followed that up with using Snook to report that Herman was the snitch. He’ll be 10 times worse if he stays on.

    Focus on the source. Ignore the problem. Ignore the people who ignored the problem.

    Focus on the source. Who was the source?

    Completely fucking ridiculous...

    I heard the source could be Jimbo and his ex wife. She’s been blowing student athletes for years gathering intel on all the top coaching staffs from those students.

    It is fascinating that the two biggest aggy fucktards, Hamm and Pubes, keep talking about “spin” coming out of Austin. Their entire business model is about filling their subscribers with impossible dreams and delusions of grandeur. Has the roller coaster reached its peak, officially? 

    I’ve never understood why Pubes keeps with the we are victims of the  evil empire in Austin. Can’t run to the SEC and tell everyone you run this state, then turn around and act like Texas is keeping them down. If Texas is truly keeping you down, do you know who really runs this state?

  7. Wow. That is a really bad conspiracy theory. I will say I turned it on to ESPNU to watch College football live yesterday, and every single person on that show is from the SECNetwork. It's almost like they really don't care about covering all of college football with some objectivity. 

  8. I finally listened to one of Kirk Herbstreit’s interviews. He sure sounded like he was depressed. I can’t believe he said we all have to wait for judgement, and this is not the what Urban Is about. The laugher for me was his attack on twitter and message board people, when that’s some of where he gets his sources for trashing schools on Gameday.

    Funny that you mentioned this, because last week, I believe, aggy was talking about their 12 hours dedicated to them on secn and the games that were gonna be shown.  Winning, whoop!

    Didn't they show Big 12 aggy games during those 12 hours, or was that Missouri.

    Lol who gives a fuck. Every 9-10 months, this convo comes up

     

    we got our own goddamn channel. And we are bitching about it. Jfc guys

     

    1) We get to see games that literally no other school gets to televise/fanbase gets to see. Basketball and baseball games most importantly

     

    2) We get to see re-runs of badass classic games

     

    3) We have our own channel

     

    4) Programs like 1963 and From Grit to Glory are fantastic

     

    5) We get 15 million a year for 30 years

     

    6) We have our own goddamn channel

     

    7) We get to see re-runs of our football game that week, incase anyone misses the original broadcast

     

    but please, keep bitching. The positives greatly outweigh the negatives. Bitching about having our.own.motherfucking.channel. is the perfect microcosm of how arrogant and entitled our fanbase has become. 

     

    I personally love the channel, but I also actually, ya know, follow our sports teams , root for our sports teams, and like to watch their games. 

    Absolutely this. I laugh when I hear aggys talk shit about LHN ( a channel that is 100% UT), and then claims SECnetwork (a channel that is maybe 5% aggy coverage, and probably more than 50% Bama coverage) is great for them. 

  11. Haha. Claiming that A&M won't play the pay game is hilarious. Why the hell would someone willingly move to College Station if there wasn't money involved? The aggy ring doesn't mean jack to anyone other than other aggys, and its really only good for entry level jobs in an aggy company. So if you wanna put that ring on and earn entry level aggy money the rest of your life, knock yourself out.

    Wife (Clemson grad) and I plan on it. Going to be glorious.

    Enjoy the 80,000 aggy men holding each other while swaying their hips back and forth, telling each other to hump it. Not sure I could go be near that, even if it was to watch the farmers get destroyed. 

  13. This whole article screams insecurity and little man syndrome. They have to keep telling everyone how great they are. 

    Jimbo Fisher's recruiting pitch same thing that drew him to A&M

    SAN ANTONIO - Jimbo Fisher was in a good spot. The Florida State head coach won a national championship in 2013 and was firmly entrenched at one of the top programs in the country. In previous offseasons, he had rebuffed efforts from other schools trying to lure him away from Tallahassee.

     

    This past offseason was different, though.

     

    Texas A&M made Fisher its only target as the Aggies looked to replace Kevin Sumlin. Seminole fans as well as media members that covered the team scoffed at the idea that he would leave Florida State for Aggieland. However, that is exactly what happened. In fact, as it became increasingly obvious that he was headed to A&M, he didn't even coach the team's final game as the powers that be in Tallahassee were resigned to the fact that Fisher was leaving.

    Other than the money - Fisher was given a record $75 million guaranteed contract over 10 years - a lot of the national media has questioned why he would make the move. He is very familiar with the SEC, having cut his teeth at LSU and Auburn as an assistant, so it was a return to a conference that he considers the best in the country. However, there was much more that he felt Aggieland had to offer.

     

    At the Texas High School Coaches Association (THSCA) convention, Fisher was asked about his sales pitch to recruits and how it has enabled he and his staff to have the current No. 2 class in the country.

     

    "I’ll put A&M up with any university in the country," Fisher said. "That affects you personally by being there from the culture of the people – how much they love it, the way they care for people, how they treat people – there’s a demeanor that everywhere you go on campus…walk across the campus and I bet 10 people ask, ‘Can I help you?’ There’s a culture about wanting to give back."

     

    Fisher also pointed out how strong of an academic institution that Texas A&M is. That is something that resonates with recruits and their parents.

     

    "Academically, whether it’s engineering, whether it’s technology, whether it’s agriculture, whether it’s veterinary school, whether it’s business – most universities are known for just a few majors," he said. "A&M, it’s everybody. There’s more CEOs of Fortune 500 companies from A&M than any school in America."

     

    Then there is the athletics side of things. Though A&M has not won a conference title in some time, the Aggies are seen as somewhat of a sleeping giant. The commitment is there from the University as well and that's something Fisher is able to show to recruits in a tangible way.

     

    "Athletically, all you’ve got to do is walk in and see the stadium, see the facilities, see the commitment to the importance of what you do," he said. "Most of those kids love ball more than they love everything else. You take ball and you turn it into a life and career. It’s a 40-year decision, not a four one going to A&M."

    To cap everything off, Fisher has already discovered what it means to be a part of the Aggie Network. Most players from the state of Texas plan to stay in its borders when they graduate and, if they go to A&M, they will be set when it comes time to find a job outside of football.

     

    "That school of all schools can do it more than anybody because of the resources it has and the commitment it has," he said of A&M. "You’re talking about when you’re done, getting that Aggie ring and being a part of that Aggie Network. I heard about it when I came. I was at Auburn, I was at Florida State, I was at LSU – I was at great universities. We tried to take care of our players when they were done as much as anywhere in the world but the resources and the network that A&M has, it’s utterly amazing and I’ve never been around anything like it."

     

    Fisher's four-pronged approach, as well as his staff of recruiters, has certainly paid off. He has first-hand experience with them being factors that would convince somebody to go to A&M.

     

    "I think, when you put all those four things, that was one of those huge reasons that A&M attracted me," he said.

    Haha. Scott Woodward is probably the most arrogant AD in the nation. Keep making up stories aggy to make yourself feel better though.
