One of the side effects of completely lacking self awareness is an inability to ignore comments from others. They have no ability to recognize when they are being baited and they react every single time. Every. Single. Time.

You must not know much about Richard Justice. Mentally, aggys are children. They have an insatiable need for validation and affirmation. They need to be constantly told "the Aggies appear to be on the verge of winning or contending for national championships in every major sport." Just like King Gill wasn't the only substitute on the sideline, the fact that A&M is actually a branch of UT, the scaling of the cliffs at Pointe du Hoc was no amazing feat in itself, the Corps of Cadets is a costume clad civilian fraternity with no association whatsoever with the U.S. military, Sul Ross was in fact a virulent white supremacist, and no there weren't cars on the A&M campus in 1862, truth eludes aggys. Journalism jobs are tough to come by these days. Writers such as Justice hold their nose, pat the aggys on the head, tell them they are "on the precipice" and collect their paychecks twice a month. It's how things work in Texas.

Pure comedy gold. "because of great coaching hires like Jimbo Fisher and Buzz Williams, the Aggies appear to be on the verge of winning or contending for national championships in every major sport." https://www.texasmonthly.com/arts-entertainment/ncaa-conference-realignment-blame-texas/

" I swear everyone in Normandy recognizes A&M imagery. I wore an A&M shirt to Pointe du Hoc and every tour guide stopped to talk to me about Earl Rudder and A&M." https://texags.com/forums/63/topics/3286773/replies/62459779

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.

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

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.

Generally speaking, the more valuable teams are able to generate sufficient revenues to meet expenses.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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?

Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
Randolph Duke replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football
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. -
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.
-
"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.

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.

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

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

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.
