  1. The reality is, their fan base isn't giving anyone more than three years to turn that shitshow around, and it is going to end up being a completely ground up reconstruction.
  2. Just like John Sharp getting the $370M last week to build Texas Department of Emergency Management a new facility at ABIA.
  3. Sharp is driving that place into the gutter both academically and athletically and no one has dared step up to him. I just assume its because he knows where all of the bodies are buried and everyone is afraid of him.
  4. The quickest way to get fired at a&m is to tell them their traditions are stupid. For Christ's sake, they fought and defended a racist statue on their campus to keep a tradition. You think Joey Freshwater is gonna change one?
  5. I think this check was basically the 12th man handing over all of the money they have collected for the facilities expansion project to the AD right now to cover Jimbo's buyout and subsequent hiring. I think they will have to figure out how to replace that facilities money later. Someone a few pages back basically said they don't have the money and they will have to do something odd to make it look like they do. I think the halftime check was just that.
  6. She's also not wrong that they always claim to be classy and they rarely ever are. "If y'all would have just executed better this wouldn't be happening."
  7. Obviously for his undying love of the fightin' Texas aggies*. * He would not do that
  8. I bet that guy that died in flames feels very vindicated in his attack of Ukraine. Fuck him.
  9. See above post. They are nothing but paid shills for Sharp.
  10. The a&m AD position is nothing but the mouthpiece and boot shiner for Sharp. Exactly the same as loochi's position.
  11. You gotta give Randy Duke his credit. He very often stated that Jimbo era at a&m will be hilarious for everyone but aggies.
  12. Isn’t osu a near lock now?
  13. The notion that the price of a barrel of oil has any affect on a coaches buyout is completely absurd to me. Sure, the average oil field worker will go buy a new jacked up F250 when the oil is flowing, but the guy that runs the company that has built his business over time doesn’t blow tens of millions on a losing football coach just because oil prices spikes for a bit.
  14. And just like that, Jimbo’s buyout was found….. https://www.statesman.com/story/news/state/2023/11/09/new-texas-emergency-operations-facility-set-to-be-built-in-austin/71515760007/
  15. Why don't y'all take that topic to its own thread or PM's?
  16. That is exactly my point. If candidates are going to get re-elected simply because they are "harmless" or "benign", then the cycle of shitty candidates and incumbents will never end. Austin continues to do this over and over and over and over and can't figure out why nothing ever changes.
  17. What exactly did he do in his first term that you considered positive? Sure, the second term was 100% grift, but nothing came from the first term that warranted re-election.
  18. I don't think a win vs. ACU counts toward bowl eligibility, does it? If they lose to MSU and it comes down to the LSU game for eligibility, would Jimbo throw the game so he could take a longer winter vacation? It's not like it would be difficult to disguise throwing the game with his previous evidence of playcalling/in-game decisions.
  19. The great news is that they haven't figured out that as long as John Sharp is pulling the strings, the outcome will be similar/the same.
  20. I just saw the other day that the entire football expenses for 2022 was like $41M. If they have to dedicate $8M per year, for the next seven years, to pay a coach to NOT coach, that is a huge hit to their annual budget. It can be done, but the effects would be devastating. And there is no way they are going to get donors to 100% fund the full $100M needed to fire the current regime and bring in a new regime.
  21. I think the SEC is done kowtowing to the aggies. And there's that whole issue of actual bowl eligibility that still hasn't worked itself out yet.
  22. Maybe if the city stopped re-electing the exact same people over and over things would change?
  23. Because he’s legit injured or because Jimbo shoved him in the back in national tv?
