    God this board likes reliving losses.

    Remember how UH used to beat the shit out of us in the McWilliams era?

    Or how about Mack and OU in the early 2000s?

    Or, if I really want to be cruel, there's always a blow-by-blow recounting of that Cotton Bowl against Miami.

    Or. and I'm just spitballing here, we could maybe enjoy the present while it lasts. Anyone up for that?

    The unjustified arrogance of that ad so puts the Aggie mentality into focus. "We're already great. You just haven't noticed enough to be filled with awe and fear."

    I think most coaches would have vetoed that, but maybe that's just impossible with a cult.

    They're problem is that they're so marinated in their own BS, they think everyone else sees them as they see themselves.

    In reality, no one gives them a second thought, except when they're behaving weird in public. But then the thought is neither awe nor fear. It's "fucking weirdos--how'd they ever get in this conference?."

  3. Elko: "Our goal is to build the best program we are capable of being..."

    That's fine. Standard coaching pablum.

    "... When we do that, it won't matter who we play or who is in the SEC. No one will be able to stop us."

    WTF?

    When you haven't won a national title in 85 fucking years, who talks like that?

    That's A&M's problem in a nutshell. They just believe they're entitled to be the very best of the very best, absent any evidence that they're even above average.

    And they call us arrogant? We may have underachieved relative to our potential a fair amount, but at least we have achieved mightily at times in living memory.

    Through all the frustration and anger, I have to somewhat laugh at the fact that the first two pitchers in our regional final game were Hudson Hamilton and Ethan Walker. Imagine telling someone that back in February.

    This game is so stupid and delivers so many unexpected turns. Imagine knowing before the season that Easton Winfield would have 1/3rd of his season hit total against Prairie View A&M, Will Mercer would pitch 2 games before getting hurt, Jalin Flores would hit under .200 in SEC play, Jonah Williams would have to start in LF because we had no one else, Max Belyeu would miss 2 months and Jared Spencer would be done for the year by mid April. 

    I would have asked if we finished higher than 12th in the SEC standings.

    Doesn’t make tonight any easier to stomach, but yeah….

    Some seasons things just don't work out when it matters.

    Shit happens. Just have to reload and hope critical depth improves.

    Every. Measurable. Way.

    The odd thing is that, no matter how many different ways they try to justify their imaginary victory over the forces of evil centered in Austin, they never, ever enjoy it.

    One because, deep down, they know it's BS. And two because they are so warped that they actually enjoy their envy of Texas. It gives their pitiful cult a sense of meaning.

    They're pure and righteous because they lose.

    They can't fathom the awful possibility that maybe God just has a sense of humor. That they're alone in the darkness of a dead dog cemetery with only a jizz jar for company.

    I am actually gruntled when I see less-than-blueblood programs, particularly from Texas (like Tech and SMU) working the NIL game and getting better.  It has no effect on us save maybe the random recruiting battle we might lose.

    A&M could be on fire and I wouldn't piss on 'em.  I revel in their failure.

    If A&M is on fire, the proper etiquette is to wait until they've collapsed into a smoldering corpse and then piss on them.

    After all, it will be your last chance.

    It;s hilarious to me that those pea-brains on the Brazos think the only reason one would choose Texas over them is NIL $.

    No reference to overall success, recent success, culture, coaching staff, draft success, trajectory of program, national pull/significance, returning players, national brand etc. not even leaning into the "playing school" aspects.

     

    Money=only way

    Yeah, but they've got a dead dog cemetery, dorky milk men, toy soldiers, Soviet-style architecture, and a variety of pitiful sadomasochistic rituals to go with the bestest fans ever.

    It takes a lot of money to pull 18-year-old kids away from that.

    One problem:  His concluding question to TAMU fans is whether they'd rather be 8-4 in the SECX3 or 11-1 in the B12.  

    That's a false dichotomy. 

    They would not be 11-1 in the B12. 

    They would be 8-4. 

    It's who they have been, who they are, who they will be.  

    Aggie always wins imaginary games.

    You can't run out of time in imaginary games.

    Bless you, @JesusSweatDuck. Just the perfect little excercise to separate the week from the weekend!

    1 It never gets more bare-knuckeled, no-holds-barred, and dirty than someone inviting one to join something and saying yes. Cover the children's eyes?

    2 I get the feeling that constant state of astonishment is another Aggie tradition. "You see that? He just started a car by pushing it!!"

    3 Compliments on your realization about the void of said attachments.

    I'm amazed that they still kvetch about the SEC admission vote. I know it's Aggie, so I shouldn't be amazed at any display of stupidity, but come on.

    There is simply no way the SEC would have passed on the chance to add Texas and Oklahoma. That's the most valuable brand addition this side of Notre Dame.

    The SEC was more likely to Kick A&M out for having the creepiest college traditions than it was to decline Texas and Oklahoma.

    Yep. The new coach will root out all the drug users and trash the old guy left. We all heard the stories. Coach New Guy will get the most out of what we have and bring in his guys. We'll see a big difference next year!

    Well, it's just the first year for Coach New Guy. Coach Ebil Toxic Longhorn had a worse record his first year at toxic university. I think I guys played harder for Coach New Guy. It takes three years to install your program and get your guys. Can't wai for next season.

    Injuries, refs, t.u. turning everybody against us. I still back Coach Sorta New Guy. Grow a pair and get behind the team.

    Fucking Coach Old Guy destroyed this program. Three years and same underperformance. Fire him! He shows no emotion. Halftime adjustments!  hurd derr!

    Well, Coach New guy seems to have that swagger about him. Reveille licked his hand. He'll root out all the bad apples....

    You forgot one.

    Coach New Guy always gets A&M.

    The notion and lamentation that they are only hiring “good guys who get us” while everyone else is hiring the college sports versions of JR Ewing, Lex Luthor, Thanos and Darth Vader is both comical and absurd. If they tried to tell anyone else familiar with the college landscape that kind of simpleton fantasy, the person would either politely get really thirsty and walk off, or just explode into laughter. 

    If Darth Vader is available, I say we take him. He'd look cool as hell on the sidelines, he''s a proven motivator, we'd have the force choke option for opponents on critical plays, and the Force would make sure we never miss a field goal again.

    The funniest part is that actually overspending on a defensive line and then watching the mercenaries kill all positivity in the culture is what Elko and Fisher actually did at ATM. So, yeah, sure, Texas must be that fucking stupid as well. 

    But of course. When you're stupid, that's your only frame of reference to understand the world. It's a hapless type of projection--If Aggie could imagine a non-stupid action, then they wouldn't be Aggie.

    I'm not sure if it's been mentioned here, but I've heard several major draft analysts talk about how A&M bulked Scourton up to the point that he looked fat and made him much less effective. He's since shed the weight for the draft process and reportedly now looks much better running around

    Texas and other schools should use this as negative recruiting for edge prospects 

    They probably use their unparalleled Meat Judging capability to guide strength and conditioning. Scourton may have been slow but just think how well marbled he was.

    Advantage Aggie.

    They legit think they won the Lone star showdown from 11 (game stolen by refs) to 23

    I refuse to call it the Lone Star Showdown.

    From UT's perspective, it''s more like "The Lone Star Contractual Obligation to Humor Some Fucking Weirdos."
