    There's something inherently triggering about soccer in that you can't say or type the word without people having to explain to you - often in great detail - how much they dislike the sport. Usually at a time and place where no one gives a shit about such an opinion. Like, say, a message board thread on Aggy idiocy.

    Well soccer is a communist plot so.....

    There is NO QUESTION that they should be playing Texas Tech each year. 
     

     

    The school that held a press conference last year to announce that they were killing their newspaper at the end of the week (due to it being too open minded for some regents) before pushing the killing of their more-than-a-century-old newspaper until the end of the year is now going to offer a degree in JOURNALISM ?!?!

     

     

    This doesn’t even touch on Men’s Basketball.

    Football is the power blender that stirs the drink, but I believe that we are joining the SEC in every single one of our sports, and we are kind of used to competition.

    ALSO: I think that the aggy alums who understand what NIL actually is must either post somewhere else or just choose to avoid posting on fansite all-together, because there are alums who don’t sell seed and who don’t sell insurance in Katy, TX.

    But the ones who do post about NIL are blithering idiots.

    It's basically our football board so

    The different views of the fan bases are amazing.

    TCU loses Roberson: "fuck him, I hope he sucks, and when he portals out, DON'T LET HIM IN."

    Texas loses Evan Stewart to aggy: "Damn, he's probably gonna be good, but has a lot of baggage. Hope we can get him to portal out after a year."

    Pretty funny honestly.

    I seem to recall a lot more focus on calling evan a mercenary/idiot/a&m threw 750k at him.....in fact I don't recall this mature response to Evan's decision at all?

    One of my favorite traditions of each CFB season is when they publish the ignorant, adoring, visiting fan letter. They did it this past season for App State ahead of the game. I was saddened that it couldn't include getting lost near the stadium, but it included the confession that, secretly, their favorite part of the 2021 CFB season was when ATM kicked a field goal late against someone. Never mind that App State did the same to defeat an undefeated Coastal Carolina in the same season. God. So good.

    Anyway, your post hit me with the idea that we should do this once in the SEC before or after each home match-up, but also by comparing everything favorably to ATM. They'll lose their shit. I'm going to start reserving "LSU#1Fan" and "GamecockWanderer" and the like asap.

    Those are always good reads.  Especially when they used to be paired with a play by play about how bad aggies were treated at an away game by the opposing fan base and how people apologized to them and wished their fans could be as nice and welcoming as aggie fans.....  though I don't think we get those near as often since they have become one of the boys in the SEC and everybody loves and supports each other.

    Even if all this were the case, which I’m not sure it is if only one player is involved as it seems currently, Baylor paid Art Briles a massive payout to get him to leave without burning the place down, so A&M will still be paying Jimbo a boatload of money regardless. 

    Not really.  Baylor had affidavits and evidence from people going all the way back to Stephenville showing this was a pattern of Briles programs.  Briles settled with the school trying to do damage control thinking he could move on and save his career.

     

    There were people at Stephenville when Briles was there that let their sons play football for him, but their daughters attended a different district for a reason.

     

    That's why Briles lawyer in 24 hours went from we have no interest in settling on any terms to we are moving on in the interest of putting this all behind us.

    Give it like 10 years and it'll be a legit suburb of Houston.  Already encroaching on Magnolia.

    So it's like 80% of the Austin/Pflugerville/Roundrock/Manor metro area these days?  Or did Austin finally engulf Taylor?

     

    Man I loved growing up in Central Texas but I am ridiculously glad to be clear if the giant urban sprawl it is slowly being turned into.
