  1. Tech has one motivated mega-donor. They are doing well but hanging by a string....specifically the whims and alive-ness of that donor - kind of like the peril (albeit each managed things differently) at Oregon and Okie State.
  2. I was trying to group those group at kind of a low resolution. If I'm a coach shopping for a job winning history is important but other factors like available money, conference placement, and recruiting capabilities are also part of the equation. If we get granular I'd say they break down as Top Tier Programs: Penn State Florida Auburn Second Tier: UCLA FSU Arkansas Third Tier Programs: Virginia Tech Okie State Wisconsin Tech* Fourth Tier: UAB Oregon State aggy I think he'd be a good fit at Arkansas, FSU, or VT. If he goes early and there's no other takers for Elko I could see Tech writing the check to get him in Lubbock next year.
  3. To say this season's carousel might be the craziest ever would be an understatement. The number of programs in the hunt could be crazy. Barring some turn arounds it could very well be something like.. Top Tier Programs: UCLA Penn State Florida Auburn FSU Second Tier Programs: Virginia Tech Okie State Arkansas UAB Oregon State Wisconsin Aggy* Tech* *Added these as it is looking more and more likely fat Elko and McGuire move to top tier programs this year And that's just where we are now.....with half the season left for coaches to fuck up.
  4. There's zero excuse for this and it has to be on fair park. Houston Rodeo on a night with 200k people? cell signal at least usable with the multitude of temporary towers deployed by carriers. Kerr County 48 hours after devastating floods? same answer as above. Fair park? omg no signal whatsoever
  5. Elko had to the super deep "it is what it is" answer at his presser so we can assume both hurt and hurt bad. Other than Samford I think the rest of their games are toss ups or beat down (Mizz, LSU and Sark are going to put the beat down on this below average team). Like I said before aggy isn't ready to play big boy football and going up against good teams week after week is going to be one hell of a shock to this soft ass team.
  6. aggy doesn't have the money to give him a raise. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised to see him eject mid-season this year. He was pretty clear - if you read between the lines - that the aggy job was a stepping stone to a quality location. He's been actively looking the entire time he's been there. Aside from the cash flow issue aggy has more mounting problems. They continue to turn in some of the worst TV numbers in the SEC so at some point their stage is going to get a lot smaller (i.e. bought out and forced to move conferences). The schools actually bringing in eyeballs and money are not going to be interested in equally sharing revenue. The "have nots" in the SEC - the schools with bad ratings, poor sports performance, and who are so far behind the facilities curveball that there is no way they can ever catch up - are going to have a reckoning when the next media deal comes up. Thing aggy, vanderbilt, maybe kentucky, etc. If Elko doesn't eject before then he risks trying to jump to an actual high profile job from what will probably be a sunbelt school.
  7. You can see the shadow of a really long selfie stick
  8. I've undertaken a comprehensive survey of every hall of fame NFL quarterback. The results are shocking. What I learned is there is actually a talent delta for each of these players between their high-school years, first year starting in college, and peak NFL output. This leads one to believe that maybe, just maybe, QBs develop over time and get better with more experience. I'm still sitting here trying to process this stunning revelation.
  9. I think it's fine to want to re-live the glory days of only getting pummeled by the likes of Houston high and Tech.
  10. What a freakin' embarrassment. Remember the scene from the office where Dwight's "ultimate fantasy" is being co-owner of a bed and breakfast with Satan where he has no authority and he makes $80k a year? Well here aggy is making a hype video for a sub-500 unranked opponent and in their OMG ULTIMATE HYPE the stadium is <50% full in every shot. What a bunch of idiots. At least they are truthful I guess. They are freakin' giving away season ticket renewals the last few years I've heard.
  11. This dog is wise beyond his size.
  12. Lol more like 5. Poor aggy is about to learn what actual big boy football is like. You can't play powerhouses like UTSA and Utah State all year. They drop: Missouri LSU Texas and 2 of: SC UF Pig and win: Samford aggy and fat elko are in for a bit of a rude awakening.
  13. Imagine spending hundreds of millions on an ugly football stadium that is never even remotely full and then you milk your lead donor for money to build a 200,000 square foot "timber building". Priorities. Oh also imagine your most visible mega-donor being a guy who was smart enough to realize people need gas for their cars and he could sell it to them. aggy seems to always out-aggy aggy......
  14. Sark is going to do what needs to be done to right the ship. He had some position coaches that didn't work out and he's finally taking action.
  15. You are 100% correct. I think Sark has played it easy during our easy games and will start actually using skill players harder as we get in to SEC play. aggy is going to burn out over the next few weeks. I don't see more than 3 wins on the rest of their schedule which is going to be absolutely delicious when the agroids start going off the deep end.
  16. So we have a negative completion percentage >50yrds? Interesting.
  17. Yeah! You know what else really grinds my gears? Clouds. Fucking poofy things just sitting in the sky like they own the place. I'm sick of it.
  18. I am a human and enjoy viewing the statistical face off of competitive football matches.
  19. They were in the CFB finals LAST year. They not only lost a bunch of players on both sides of the ball but also got skull fucked by the refs last night. If aggy beat them last year that sure would have been something to get excited about. aggy comes to Austin this year battling for a bowl bid: Auburn - L, bigly MS State - L Florida - L Pig - W, close LSU - blowout L Mizz - L South Carolina - L Samford (lol) - W That puts them at 5-6 and we get to stab them in the heart to finish the year.
  20. Yup. Calling this a signature win is peak level aggy delusion. They needed some low probability plays (like converting 4th and a mile for the tying touchdown) to win. If ND doesn't blow coverage on a few plays they put the game away in the 3rd quarter. If ND got a few bounces their way this would have been a blowout. This is not a win aggy should be proud of. This is "even a broken clock is right twice a day".
  21. ND has some serious speed. I think all things considered these idiots are still pumping sunshine. I'm thinking the real score is probably ND by 28-ish. Aggy always implodes when they play a real team.
  22. Over the years? Based on the knee jerks in this thread it fluctuates wildly between the Dr Pepper commercial and the AFLAC commercial during any given game.
  23. This is because aggy continues to bring horrible TV numbers year after year. I saw a stat that detailed every SEC-rights game last year for us and for aggy. Aggy's viewership was 15% what ours was. The SEC has made it clear aggy isn't getting any of the premium spots because it is hurting the entire conference's marketability for our next TV deal.
  24. The SEC has to be actively looking to buy out aggy and upgrade in the next couple year given their dismal TV ratings. The SEC has multiple schools in the same state but they are established blue blood programs, except for maybe Vandy. I think (good for little aggy) this problem fixes itself.
