  1. Will y’all stop looking for some sort of Maroon Media Conspiracy, there isn’t one. A&M is the college football equivalent of a hot chick with a smoking body and all of daddy’s money but is also a complete psycho. The national media is the random dudes at the bar that she flirts with to get attention but anyone who grew up with her or dated her knows that she can only hide the crazy for so long.
  2. I was sold on Burke because we took him from Michigan and it appears he is growing into that typical B1G low rated white dude who turns into a monster DE after several years.
  3. Arnett only got that job because Leach died when the transfer portal was open, I believe MSU didn’t have an AD and it was after the coaching carousel had already ended. Arnett was an emergency stop gap to stop everyone from poaching MSU roster and then not getting to be able to hire a coach until after the portal had already closed if they had done a proper coaching search.
  4. It doesn’t matter what DC Lincoln has, he simply doesn’t care about defense and isn’t going to structure his program to develop a tough complimentary football program.
  5. I got head during Russell Crow’s terrible Noah movie and feel that, that is a comparable level of awkwardness to Amadeus.
  6. Dabo is absolutely not a recruiting witch like Jimbo.
  7. Based on actual on actual resources, money, fans support, recruiting base, conference, facilities and NIL A&M is a elite tier job, so the the national media are not dumb asses for call long A&M a top five job. The real dumbasses are the people in charge of A&M with the resources of a top 5 program and have jack shit to show for it. Y’all sound like Texags complaining about some media conspiracy, the national media does not go digging into the politics and card room meetings where the real dysfunction that makes A&M what they are happens. National writers ask the local “beat writers” for information on what’s happening and as well all know A&M has successfully purged any local reporters not taking orders directly from A&M.
  8. Patterson is an absolute hardass and raging dickhead, 50% of that roster would transfer out by the end of spring. If there is one coach who is not ready for the new era of CFB and already struggled dealing with elite talent before NIL and the transfer portal, it’s Gary Patterson.
  9. I believe Donovan Green is a red ass at heart so I doubt he leaves A&M.
  10. No way in hell they hire Klieman, he’s 0-6 vs Texas, even if he is a really good coach his record vs Texas would be way to much for them to swallow.
  11. Calling it now, they didn’t raise the money to fire Jimbo they’re going to either finance it or just straight up dump the cost on the BOR and make the A&M system pay for it.
  12. Isn’t Ohio State the basketball program that was so bad last year they got in a fight with football players over embarrassing they school.
  13. Wait is this the Revile kidnapping that Bernie Burns talked about on his Rooster Teeth podcast?
  14. Tennessee Bobby Hill was the head coach at UCF and had shown flashes. Heupel wasn’t exactly in demand and Tennessee’s Athletic Department was a mess that made 2010’s Texas Atheletic Department look like Ohio State, so they did a package deal and hired a G5 AD and their coach because no quality candidates wanted anything todo with Tennessee. When I mean if A&M sets up Jimbo, they end up so fucked in the coaching search that they’ll have to be like Tech and hire Baylor TE coach as HC.
  15. Coaches and their agents aren’t dumb, they would see right through that.
  16. Having to hire position coaches from Big 12 teams as a Head Coach because no candidate would ever take that job after that move.
  17. OSU got blown out by South Alabama and lost to a shitty ISU team, the season would already be over for A&M, the Ags would have been freaking the absolute fuck out and ready to fire the guy into the sun, especially following an atrocious off season. OSU’s willingness to roll with the punches and having lesser expectations let’s Gundy succeed. Gundy and OSU are on course to have a better season than anything the Ags can hang their hat on in a decade but nobody is discussing OSU in the same category as Texas and Bama and that would be seen as not enough in the eyes of A&M.
  18. This is missing my point, it’s not about Gundy it’s about A&M. Even if Gundy could perfectly replicate his system at A&M, they would blow it up before it could bare fruit because the Aggies couldn’t handle the lows. The Ags would flip the fuck out if Gundy was recruiting against Mizzou, Arkansas, and Kentucky and not Texas, Alabama and Georgia. They would be apocalyptic if Gundy lost a humiliating game against a bad team even if that loss is used as a building block.
  19. Gundy can’t recruit blue chip players, his program and culture is allergic to elite recruits. Gundy’s under dog, development based program won’t work at A&M because their ego couldn’t handle the painful growth period under Gundy. A&M would rather sign a 5* and touch themselves to all the off season articles about elite talent and then have them under perform rather then quietly develop someone who is a beast like Ollie Gordon.
  20. He wasn’t sacked because he was throwing picks. He should have eaten the sack on the horrific pick in our red zone, he did the exact same thing vs BYU just this time KSU was able to capitalize.
  21. They’re not firing him after two years, that would take an exceptional disaster of mass decommits and transfers and total locker room revolt which doesn’t remotely seem to be and issue. Florida is now in the exact same situation as Texas was in 2015 with Charlie Strong.
  22. Working on our shitty red zone offense with the 1’s is more important than garbage time reps for arch. Maalik needs every single rep with the ones in a game like this because he is absolutely going to get thrown into the fire next week, and one or two garbage time series with arch isn’t going to help when any games going forward.
  23. What does it take to get sideline passes as a donor? Is it just have deep enough pockets or do you also need some connections within Belmont. Could somebody that is like a drop out or isn’t even an alumni but has mountains of cash to burn buy their way on to the sideline or practice field?
  24. Not gonna lie this thread makes the outlook on the season way more positive for me, only because CTJ posted it. Much like the “Tom Herman is pressing his bare ass up to your mirror” thread on shaggy after the shitty 2018 Tulsa win.
