  1. The rules at the time allowed any enrolled student to just show up and suit up for any game. That wasn’t changed until the fall of 1922. The game was played in January 1922. Plus, the game was an unsanctioned exhibition game not under the auspices of the NCAA or the conference. No rules were broken or would have been broken had the guy played. In fact, students suiting up for one game was such an unremarkable event, not a single person is known to have taken notice when the aggy student put on the uniform of the injured player and stood around on the sideline with all the other available substitutes. The lie is the event was in any way considered out of the ordinary. It wasn’t until 17 years later, when many facts were changed for a radio play about the game that any special significance was attached to the game and the fictionalized version was promoted by the school as being the actual truth that anyone cared about the game. Even then, it was another 25 years before the fraudulent version of events was considered even mildly important by the school and its supporters. It was yet another 20 years before the fictionalized version was wrongly accepted by enough aggys as being “historically accurate” to warrant any commemoration. That is when the push began to place the statue outside the stadium and the “home of the 12th man” was installed in the stadium. As with most aggy “traditions” this one is based on a lie. It didn’t originate from cheating by their football team. 66 years after the event the school administrators filed their fraudulent trademark application claiming the fabricated version of events was “historically accurate.” Since then, the ags have been perpetuating their unlawful scheme to defend their fraudulently obtained trademark.
  2. At least get the story right. The player was a sophomore who quit the team early in the season because he wasn’t good enough to play and he wanted to try out for the basketball team. The tradition isn’t based on cheating. It’s based on a lie. There were no real eligibility rules in the conference st the time. They went into effect in the fall of 1922.
  3. I don’t make it out much to the mullet/ toothless hick/ obesity capitals of Texas. Too many aggys.
  4. Yes, but mostly in and around College Station.
  5. FWST 12-9-65
  6. No, Liucci, it doesn’t mean more to everyone. It may mean more for those who have nothing else in life, but to many of us, it’s just a college sports conference.
  7. The aggy Corps has a training video out on youtube.
  8. To aggy's credit, the grown-ups finally were able to convince the redneck idiots in the family to shut the fuck up and act like an adult and vote "yes."
  9. I’m most looking forward to having leadership at the very top of the program. Having confidence in Jay, CDC and Eltife will be a welcome departure from the past 10+ years. Could it finally be that the “Big 3” sports finally click at the same time at UT when women’s sports are also coming together? If so, Jay, CDC and Kevin will have accomplished something many have tried and few have achieved.
  10. Again, here is another example of the aggy-esque practice of completely making shit up out of whole cloth and claiming it to be factual. Below are the fiscal year 2020 NCAA audited financials for the schools this idiot mentions. He claims Florida's hit was "massive." In reality, Florida athletics posted a $35 mil profit. LSU - $4.8 million profit. Need I go on? This is precisely how the aggy bullshit of "Texas destroyed three conferences" got started. "Someone knew" and posted it on the interweb. This is what passes for "college educated" in the S!E!C! A bunch of idiots, half of them making up stories and the other half insisting it has to be true because someone posted it on the interweb.

  11. If UT is everything the aggys say, why is it so important for A&M to forever remain a branch of The University of Texas? If for none other than symbolic reasons, one would think they would create as much separation as possible. But aggys can't fathom the day they are no longer a branch institution of The University of Texas. Fo figure.
  12. For years she has insisted he has "inside connections with UT athletics" and that "she knows things." Well, it's her obligation to do the right thing and allow those she is accusing to defend themselves. Or, she can be a typical aggy-level redneck piece of shit and anonymously lob criminal accusations at people and never be accountable for her statements. aggys disgust me. They are a deeply fucked up culture based on ignorance, fraud and lies. The people of Texas deserve better than Texas A&M.
  13. A classic example of aggy white trash behavior. The aggys "know" UT Austin has been committing accounting fraud for years. Ok, where here is the phone number for any aggy lurkers to do the responsible thing (as opposed to "doing jack shit"). Call the Texas Attorney General and report what you "know." Texas athletics was "desperately bereft of funds in spite of their long-running frauds." Just for fun, I've also posted a copy of the financials for the last full year Deloss was AD. Showing over $16 million in excess revenue. This, in the same year the aggys (for the fifth time in seven years) couldn't pay their bills (2012) and had to take out yet another "interest-free loan" from the athletics department. So here you go, white trash lurkers, since you "know" of this massive and long-running fraud, do the right thing and report what you "know." Since you are "a better American than any sip" it is your obligation to step forward. To do otherwise would perpetuate the "fraud." Who wants to take the other side of my bet than not one of those stupid fuckers will actually ever report what they "know" about the "massive accounting fraud" buried deep within UT athletics? Oh, and just so the aggys know, those are audited financials I posted. So the "fraud" is far more extensive than you thought. Now, go be a "better American" and report what you "know." Lol. Redneck accounting, white trash "knowledge." Its bad enough aggy culture is based completely on lies, but it's worse that they lie to themselves with such practiced ease, and unforgivable how they lie to the rest of the people spreading frauds in the name of "higher education." The people of Texas deserve better than Texas A&M. UT Austin 2012 NCAA financials.pdf
  14. A simple "gentleman's agreement" would suffice.
  15. The goal was to make A&M the finishing school for the state junior colleges, thus increasing the overall number of STEM degrees granted in Texas. if more students spend only the last two years in College Station, they could leverage their College Station assets to a greater degree. That has worked to an effect. Below is the latest Almanac snapshot for UT and aggy. Notice aggy is finally seeing their acceptance rate decline (pre-application screening and shunting the slower kids to community colleges has helped with this). The funding is still hilariously lopsided, but it always has been that way (state - UT is 60% higher, federal funding to UT is three times what aggy receives). Overall, aggy is publicly funded at under 50 cents on the dollar compared to UT Austin. Institutional Resources gives a snapshot of the relative wealth of the two schools. Notice the % of students with 30 or more hours at 2-yr colleges. aggy is at twice the rate of UT. Also, aggy has a student/faculty ratio 20% higher than UT. Until they better refine the feeder system of A&M being the state's finishing school for trade school type programs, A&M will struggle with respect to infrastructure. Once they work out a few kinks and finish a few infrastructure projects, they will resume their quest to overtake Lone Star Community College System as the largest higher education institution in Texas.
  16. The list of aggy dumbfuckery is so long, where does one start responding? "Not a branch of UT" "Highly esteemed military academy" "Wealthiest public university in the world" "Just like UT Austin" "Multiple national championships" "More officers during WWII than Annapolis and West Point combined" "Only aggys ever have served their country" "The finest fans in all college sports" "Solved the mystery of alchemy" "Perfected cold fusion" "50 million doses of vaccine delivered within twelve weeks in case of flu pandemic" That people can't see through the pure aggy bullshit amazes me. What would you have someone from the university say to begin trying to explain to people what they choose not to even try to verify for themselves. At some point, you have to accept ignorant people will go through life believing in fairy tales.
  17. Remember that most "aggy research" is state agency work and in reality has nothing to do with Texas A&M University.
  18. Univ of Texas gave 1/3 of its endowment to its branch college (Texas A&M). Up until this past year, when McKenzie Bezos dropped $50 mil on them, Prairie View's entire endowment was $82 mil. Obviously, A&M doesn't believe a branch college in Texas deserves 1/3 of the school's publicly funded endowment. Too bad we can't treat them accordingly.
  19. The SEC tried to get Texas to join the conference 30 years ago, even before Arky was ever thought about as a SEC member. At some point, time runs out for the other conference schools to position themselves. 30 years has been plenty of time for the negatively affected programs to get their affairs together. Thanks for the memories. We hope you have put the last 30 years to good use.
  20. Eventually, we all have to learn to stand on our own.
  21. Damn! Outsmarted by aggy yet again!
  22. Any change in the distribution of PUF income would require a constitutional amendment voted on by the people of Texas. And UofH, Tech, etc already are part of a separate publicly funded higher education endowment created to mimic the PUF-The Higher Education Fund.
  23. I’m completely indifferent. Wasn’t a fan of the Big 12, to say the least. Eltife and CDC have been given the job of getting the program rebuilt. They have made their decision. The time for discussion has passed. It’s now time to make this happen.
  24. To my knowledge, the SEC didn't do reduced shares for aggy or Mizzou. The Big 10 did, but those reduced shares I believe were to offset financial support given to the incoming schools to offset transitional expenses. The SEC didn't give aggy financial support in 2012 when transitional expenses left aggy athletics (yet again) unable to pay its bills. Rather, the academic side increased the amount of the "interest-free loan" that had been outstanding since 2006 by $5.2 million. This "loan" is still being paid down in installments and is scheduled to be finally repaid later in the decade. I have no doubt both UT and OU will receive full distributions from Day 1.
