  1. Better yet, why don't we just call them out ourselves for their sacred shrine to their beloved white supremacist. Those who care about right and wrong don't need to outsource anything to the Russians. Do I really need to start posting the screen grabs of all their disgusting racial hatred stuff? Or their death threats? They are a sick culture and to say Texags doesn't perpetuate hatred is naive. Gabe Bock and Billy Liucci absolutely deserve to be called out for providing a platform for white supremacist hate groups to spew their vile garbage.
  2. I think A&M's AAU problems were more related to their announcements of having solved the mystery of alchemy and perfected cold fusion. No respectable accreditation organization is going to keep looking askance at crackpot crap forever. The current issues at A&M have more to do with The Rudder Association trying to ensure long-discredited racist practices be revived at Texas A&M. TRA is essentially waging a culture war at A&M and pushing back on intellectual thought. They are trying to insist the A&M students be indoctrinated into the belief that whites are "being outbred" by brown people and "the American way" is at risk of being overrun. To this end, The Rudder Association is trying to shut down the student paper, do away with school libraries, make the corps of cadets more of a force on campus and other insidious ideas. Unfortunately, Gabe and Billy have found it financially beneficial to provide a forum for those promoting The Rudder Association, and other white supremacist groups, and to helped them recruit, organize, and prosper. I'm not sure that was Congress' intent when they passed the PPP program into law, but that seems to be what happened over at Texags. https://academeblog.org/2022/04/20/trouble-in-the-heart-of-the-university/ https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2022/05/16/texas-am-considers-making-sweeping-changes-library
  3. I never personally had to involve myself with the PPP program and SBA loan forgiveness as our company saw revenues increase during the pandemic and we didn't need a government welfare bailout. No one in their right mind believes for a moment Gabe and Billy needed one either. Gabe and Billy run that site for two purposes, 1) to promote discussion of Texas A&M athletics and 2) to perpetuate white supremacy and racial hatred. Neither of those purposes suffered in the least due to the pandemic. In fact, they prospered. We all remember the example of a few days ago when yet another aggy insisted only white people work and Blacks cheat the system and live off government handouts. Well, Gabe and Billy seemingly also cheated the system and gladly took government handouts they did not need, showing that in aggyland one can be both a white supremacist and a hypocrite. While aggys bleat about "conservative values" and rail against "welfare cheats," they always point to others and never themselves. Their school was established under a federal government welfare program. They bleat about their "massive endowment" of some $13B, but completely fail to mention only 11% of that ($1.5B) was privately funded and the overwhelming majority (89%) is government welfare dollars directed to their use. I won't even go into how little of that they have shared with Prairie View over the past 150 years. The vaccine lab that was supposed to supply "50 million doses of pandemic influenza vaccine within four months of an outbreak" was another government welfare program where the aggys took the money and provided not a damned thing to show for it. So no one should be surprised that white supremacists cheat the system, taking government handouts and giving nothing in return. No one should be surprised that white supremacists who run racial hate websites take government handouts and give nothing of redeeming societal value in return. Despicable people do despicable and dishonorable things. That Gabe and Billy over at Texags took PPP loans when they probably didn't need them should surprise no one. They're aggys. It's who they are. And its just another example of why I say the people of Texas deserve better than Texas A&M.
  4. Generally speaking, the more valuable teams are able to generate sufficient revenues to meet expenses.
  5. When aggy actually manages to put back-to-back seasons together with a winning record in conference play, I will begin to believe that their program is improving. Other than that, I don't care when any aggy bleats about "aggy greatness." Texas' problems are well defined - we have the wrong people making hiring decisions at the highest levels of the program. We seem to have things sorted out as far as the AD is concerned. Most of the programs are in good health. As for football, time will tell. We seem to be making better decisions, but we have little evidence football has been sorted out. Hopefully we will have a better handle on the situation with the football program after this season.
  6. You forgot 'quarterback whisperer."
  7. As Paul Finebaum explains, Texas was in the SEC in 1991, instead of Arky. Then A&M went apeshit, claiming it was unconscionable For Texas to make the move without also negotiating the same deal for A&M. From that time on, whenever Deloss negotiated any possible for Texas, he made sure the deal also included A&M. Deloss negotiated a deal for Texas to go to the PAC. And A&M went apeshit that Texas would negotiate any deal that would also include A&M. I continue to believe the Constitutional status of A&M as a branch of UT Austin needs to be terminated and the two schools formally recognize an end to joint cooperation on anything other than purely academic matters as set forth by the THECB. The people of Texas deserve better than Texas A&M. https://www.al.com/press-register-sports/2010/04/finebaum_how_texas_nearly_join.html "In a recent interview, Schiller reflected back on how Arkansas and South Carolina became the 11th and 12th schools in the league. But the most shocking revelation concerned how close the University of Texas came to joining the SEC. "The one that made the most sense was Texas," Schiller said. "I spent some time with DeLoss Dodds (the Texas athletic director) and he really wanted to join the conference." Done deal. Everything agreed to but the name on the dotted line. Then, it all came apart. "The state legislature (in Texas) somehow got wind of it through Texas A&M and said we had to bring in both schools or we couldn't take Texas," Schiller said. The SEC didn't want A&M. Ultimately, the two Texas schools would leave the Southwest Conference and join the Big 12."
  8. I need to go back and check, but I think this might be one of those vaunted aggy "private-public partnerships." You know, the kind that demonstrate "aggy brilliance" when they do them for campus hotels, student housing, and vaccine labs, but an unquestioned sign of extreme financial distress when UT Austin does one for their basketball and special events center.

  10. Have you been over to aggypedia.com?
  11. You must be new at following the aggys. Never will you find a group that acts quicker when given a chance to shoot themselves in the foot. And they learn nothing from past experience.
  12. The ags routinely mock Liberal Arts subjects, as they don't consider any Liberal Arts discipline as legitimate as "hard science." Hard science for the ags, includes such rigorous STEM disciplines as chicken farming, park ranger studies, and agricultural leadership. So now UCLA and USC want to move from the Pac 12 to the Big 10. And the ags are performing all sorts of "economic evaluations" of possible conference alignment scenarios. Based on their deep understanding of economics. Pure comedy gold. The only thing better than watching an aggy do an analysis of media rights of various programs is the ags opining on what is best for Stanford and Cal. Because, of course, neither Stanford or Cal knows where to find anyone capable of performing aggy-level economic and financial analysis of their athletics programs. aggys seem to forget their impressive understanding of economics and finance resulted in their having conducted a $4B capital campaign and after the money was received, the institution's net financial position was less than it was before they started. Seriously, aggys - how can you raise $4B in donations and have less wealth than when you started? $4B vaporized in previously unrecognized liabilities. And based on that track record, they presume to advise to the Stanford and Cal people on financial and economic matters. Pure comedy gold.
  13. The last time A&M football won 10 games in a season was 10 years ago. And it took having 2 FCS games on their schedule that year to make that 10 win season happen. 10 wins over FBS teams? Not something Texas A&M has shown much of an ability to make happen. Much like posting a winning record in conference play in two consecutive years. They are looking at a quarter century since that lofty ambition was achieved. Not truly competitive in conference play for going on a quarter century, or 16 losing seasons in 17 years. Which is more embarrassing aggy?
  14. The most likely outcome of today’s news is an NCAA conference will be held between school presidents and a new structure developed where schools are in different conferences for different sports. Vandy should be in the SEC for baseball, but not football. Kansas in a major conference for MBB but not some other sports, etc. Conferences were established along geographic considerations. Now the sports programs will find a new structure based on economics.
  15. Oliver Luck was Archie’s backup while Arch was with Houston. Luck said his main responsibility for the season was taking Peyton, Eli and Cooper for ice cream after practice.
  16. "for his whole career." Archie manning played for three NFL teams, not just one. One of those teams was the Houston Oilers. But, to this aggy's credit, I have no doubt he "clearly remembers" history as Archie Manning only having played for the Saints. aggys "clearly remembering" history (as the Auburn fan found out) is akin to aggys giving directions from the parking lot to the stadium - give them a half dozen tries and they are no closer to the correct answer than when you first asked the question.
  17. Inspector Liucci is big on exposing folks these days. I'm sure he will be commenting this soon.
  18. I never contacted Liucci. he just popped into me DMs and blocked me. He's a small minded redneck who won't have a conversation with anyone who has a different opinion than he has. A consummate aggy. And evidently a little racist fucker, also. I still can't believe he doesn't have a problem with his social media platform being used to perpetuate blatant racism.
  19. I’m Small aggy minds can’t contemplate that people can see through their lies in an instant. This asshole clearly remembers, but can’t cite even one example by giving the year and the sizes of the recruiting classes. The guy is a lying sack of shit. “Since 1982 the sips are up one game according to a quick look. They had a huge recruiting advantage over the past 100 plus years but that is ok, we played our best. Taking into consideration the war years it may have had an effect as well. What I clearly remember is how the sips and the land thieved would offer every player possible a scholarship then dumped most of them in their sophomore year. Royal was famous for that. They had an advantage in recruiting and they capitalized on that. Once the NCAA placed rules in effect it leveled the playing field.” https://texags.com/forums/5/topics/3299374/last#last
  20. Remember, the aggys insist they are better Americans than any other demographic in the nation, or as aggys call it "the corrupt, ****-hole country." Not a single aggy should be allowed to serve in the nation's military and the Corps of Cadets should be shut down immediately. The people of America deserve better than Texas A&M. https://texags.com/forums/16/topics/3299204/replies/62401033
  21. Surprisingly, Texas A&M being located in "the armpit of Texas" doesn't impress those of Mexican heritage. What aggys don't realize is that not being Texas A&M gives The University of Texas a strong regional advantage from the start. Since A&M was founded, it has been looked down on by Texans (even white people) because it was forced upon the state by the Reconstructionist legislature and wasn't, as was the namesake The University of Texas, "of, by, and for the people of Texas." That most Texans didn't want A&M, tried to do away with A&M, refused to fund A&M, refused to terminate A&M's status as a branch of UT because it meant additional taxes to fund an independent A&M, and have continuously considered A&M a lesser institution, is something the aggys conveniently leave out of Fish Camp.
  22. That Texas A&M doesn’t have all-white athletics teams astounds me. How do Black athletes attend that school? ” Don't give a damn about what they care about or respecting their opinions. Players just need to suit up and entertain me. I totally can't enjoy football with little black BLM stickers on the helmets. All that talk about unity? Get that mess outta here.” https://texags.com/forums/5/topics/3298872/last#last
  23. Zaloga explains in his book and in those discussions I posted yesterday the Pointe du Hoc guns were mot important as they were able to hit the transports while they were at their most vulnerable - while they were stationary and unloading troops into landing craft. The PDH guns were naval artillery batteries very trained and capable of sinking the transports well before the troops ever made it off. The Maisy battery was army artillery capable of hitting the beaches, but far less of a threat to the overall invasion. My overall point on this is that historical research on Rudder and his role on D-Day should arguably be coming from Texas A&M. They pride themselves on being a research institution, they at least promote the fiction that their Corps of Cadets has a connection with military matters, they have the financial resources, and the topic relates directly to their identity as an institution. A&M not doing scholarly research and scholarly discussions on military matters, especially Earl Rudder and D-Day, is akin to Notre Dame not leading scholarly discussions on the Christian religion. I struggle to recall any scholarly work that has been produced through Texas A&M on the subject of Earl Rudder or D-Day. TAMU Press has published a few titles based on other such topics, but very few and none of any importance. The academic resources of A&M have produced no meaningful scholarly research on military history in the school's existence. The entirety of what they pass on as historical research has been written by journalists, not academics. It's drivel produced by hacks to foist on ignorant redneck rubes who can't discern historical fact from fairy tale. (eg: "more officers during WWII than West Point and Annapolis combined.") Your typical aggy has gotten most of their understanding of history from the movies. Hollywood was never meant to be the repository of our nation's history. I hate to break it to the aggys, but there was no historical figure known as Forrest Gump, none of the Star Wars series is real, and the vast majority of what they believe about the Rangers on D-Day has been fictionalized, much of it because of Cornelius Ryan. I've long thought A&M should create a Masters of Science in Military History as both a pathway for officers transitioning from military to civilian life and a repository for the institutional knowledge held by those individuals. But A&M never will even consider doing it because A&M isn't about academics. The main reason the school exists is to culturally indoctrinate ignorant kids. The A&M administrators know they won't be able to successfully culturally indoctrinate former military officers whose minds are not as susceptible to brainwashing. Arguably A&M should have the finest military bookstore in the nation, with alumni donating their collections back for resale to generate profits and to promote learning. But A&M has no military bookstore whatsoever. For one very basic reason - A&M is about cultural indoctrination into their sick, infected culture, not about education or knowledge. In their world fairy tales matter more than facts. The aggys can't promote scholarly research into a wide variety of topics because the truth is their enemy. Their entire culture depends on the ignorance of their alumni, students, and supporters. And that is yet another reason I deeply feel the people of Texas deserve better Than Texas A&M.
  24. Here is another example of just how bad the aggy education is and how much of it exists as fabrications foisted upon dimwitted rubes. Every single aggy knows about Earl Rudder. Every single aggy can tell you stories of how Rudder and his men faced daunting odds scaling the cliffs at Pointe du Hoc on D-Day, suffering immense casualties on their way up the cliffs in the face of withering fire of crack German troops. Every single aggy is completely wrong about what happened at Pointe du Hoc. The Rangers had been trained by British commandos at cliff scaling and were very good at it. Rudder's men made it up the cliffs in less than five minutes. According to a reputable historian who has meticulously researched Pointe du Hoc, records and first person accounts indicate not a single American soldier was killed by German soldiers during the actual scaling of the cliffs on June 6, 1944. Not one. The Germans at Pointe du Hoc that morning were largely aged WWI veterans who were serving in support roles. They weren't front-line combat troops. They numbered fewer than three dozen. That has been widely known for decades. One of the historian's books was discussed at length on WW2TV. He describes the situation at Pointe du Hoc and how the popular (ie "aggy") version of events was so wrong because of how it has been portrayed in the movies. If the aggys weren't so intellectually lazy, getting their education from movies, and if they actually respected Rudder enough to accurately represent his contribution to the D-Day landings, they would tell a completely different story. But aggys are incredibly intellectually lazy. They are ignorant rubes who know little of what "THEY KNOW." They are screened for admission to A&M for their ability to memorize whatever information presented to them - rote learning. Meaningful learning is a concept they are never exposed to at A&M. It was after they scaled the cliffs and began engaging Germans that the Rangers' battle casualties started. But don't try to explain any of this to an aggy. Trying to teach an aggy anything is mostly a waste of time. The really interesting parts start around the 1:02:00 mark in Part 1 and around the 39:00 mark in Part 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBCMAmUPejc (Part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYdumXXNCRA (Part 2)
  25. Enrollment fell at Notre Dame at the onset of WWII to the point the university almost ceased to exist. It was only due to the fact the Navy put their officer training school on the Notre Dame campus that the institution survived. It is in gratitude for that act that Notre Dame still plays Navy each and every year in football. During the Vietnam era, when anti-war protests were common, there were demands Notre Dame end its Navy ROTC program. Hesburgh would have none of it. The aggys claim their school lost enrollment during WWI and was in danger of closing. That is yet another aggy lie. During WWI, A&M had higher enrollment than before the war started. There is a reason no scholarly research about the school's history comes out of Texas A&M and the entirety of the school's history has been written by aggy-funded shills writing fairy tale books for gullible alumni.
