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

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.

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)

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.

Arky was the last university in the nation to end compulsory ROTC, that happening in 1969, six years after A&M. Furthermore, A&M had more male students in 1960 than OU has today. The only reason aggys continue to use the “small military school” excuse is that the aggy education leaves them long on fairy tales and short on thinking skills. They’re poorly educated dumbfucks who have no knowledge whatsoever about the actual history of their university.

One of the identifying characteristics of an aggy is their inability to understand how concepts can be applied across various sets of facts. Today's lesson in the "aggy education" concerns the definition of a racist. The context is that aggys believe white middle class males are the most aggrieved class of victims of racism. aggys can look up a definition in a dictionary, but remain utterly clueless as to the meaning of the definition. Especially when defending their on-campus shrine to white supremacy. https://texags.com/forums/16/topics/3298558/replies/62381631 The people of Texas deserve better than Texas A&M.

Garbage like this is what small minds accept as truth. If they knew anything about military history, the ags would realize the U.S. Army never quartered officers in the homes of locals. That the ags completely fabricate these stories and none of them are capable of discerning truth from fantasy says a lot about aggy culture.
-
The ags have always thought everyone else thinks just like aggys and therefore, however aggys rationalize anything must be accurate. They have no clue they are not "just like tu." They can't process that Arch Manning is extremely well advised by his family and has the luxury of not having to build his career with quick money in mind. Hell, aggys can't even process why Arch Manning wants anything in life other than a tract home in Katy and a leased Ford pickup truck. They also have no clue how the Mannings could have a relationship with Steve Sarkesian. Because they have no knowledge of or sense of history, they have no understanding how Sarkesian could be a reasonable choice for a QB recruit. They just don't get that they are not factoring something in that others have carefully considered. The closest comparison to Arch Manning's coming to Austin would be Kyle Shanahan. Neither was really worried about winning a national championship. Manning doesn't have to care about NIL. The mission is to develop the necessary skills in preparation of a pro career. Shanahan's as a coach, Manning's as a future franchise QB. The ags have no clue Arch Manning follows zero others on his Twitter feed and has sent a grand total of one tweet from the account, that being yesterday's commitment. He's not playing the career game in a way any aggy could understand. Sark's weakness is defense, not offense. That the ags don't get any of this isn't surprising.

The "aggy education" teaches young rednecks that aggy successes should always be extrapolated into infinity, aggy setbacks are because of a vast conspiracy against them, and when UT athletics are performing below historical norms the probability of mean reversion should be completely discounted. Oh, and that only white people make the world go round while Blacks act like children. The non-aggy students of Texas A&M deserve better than Texas A&M.

I don't think there is any room for debate at this point about what type of people Gabe Bock and Billy Liucci are. That they provide a platform for this type of disgusting filth to be broadcast and perpetuated, without any moderation of this clearly racist and white supremacist content shows they have no problem with these beliefs. The level of ignorance and racism that defines the aggy culture is a major embarrassment to the state of Texas and the nation as a whole. "aggy values" have nothing to do with American values. The people of Texas and of the nation deserve better than Texas A&M. (And for when the subject comes up about racist aggy culture and whether texags is truly a white supremacist racial hate site, I have archived the texags Juneteenth thread.)

Would you consider someone who thinks white people make the world go around and Blacks only “act like children” qualifies as a white supremacist?” Any student athlete who chooses A&M without realizing they are stepping into one of the most virulently racist cultures they will ever experience has only their self to blame, because aggys don’t hide who they are. The white supremacist shrine at the center of campus should be any recruit’s first clue.

The top clip is from today, discussing Juneteenth, which has been a Texas state holiday since 1980. Source: https://texags.com/forums/16/topics/3297126/2 The Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863. Word of it didn’t get to Galveston, Texas until 1865. It doesn’t surprise me in the least that knowledge of it didn’t make to College Station and to most aggys until “a year or two ago.” The bottom clip is from the Texas Monthly article on the bonfire debacle. Racism defined aggy culture 20 years ago and aggy culture is just as deeply racist today. Enjoy your fried chicken, you aggy racist pieces of shit. I hope you choke on the bone. The people of Texas deserve better than Texas A&M.

It already is a big deal, just not in open circles. The one thing every aggy demands of the lavishly paid A&M administrators is that the school do everything possible to be "just like tu." No focus on being the best they can be. No consideration given to forging a new path and a new identity. That would require effort and change. Reasonably, that would require terminating A&M's sacred status as a branch of The University of Texas. Most of all, that would take effort. aggys are culturally lazy. They don't have the intellectual firepower to innovate or to do anything other than follow paths forged by others. This is why they fall back on the intellectual laziness of "turdition." In this instance, they have been caught. This is the same type of scandal that took down Ross Margraves and Robert Smith (how many aggys admit to knowing who they were or the school's admission of "institutional arrogance" associated with them?) As I posed a few days ago, A&M doesn't have the financial resources to be "just like tu." This latest scandal has been generated by the A&M administrators insatiable lust for the advantages of being funded "just like tu." The litigation around this scandal has been brewing for years. Judicial Watch has been on this for a while. The Qatar Foundation has been fighting disclosure. https://casetext.com/case/qatar-found-for-educ-v-zachor-legal-inst UT Austin was offered the first opportunity to operate the branch institution in Qatar. The Regents declined, asserting offering a degree from The University of Texas at Austin to people who had never been within 12,000 miles of the campus stated on their diploma would diminish the value of the campus educational experience. A&M jumped on the opportunity because of the money. Now that decision, and the corruption is has spawned, is about to bite them in the ass. And rightfully so. Long story short.... The people of Texas deserve better than Texas A&M. And the people of Texas are about to see some of the sordid details of why I hold that belief. This is a big deal. It's about to get bigger. The facts are disgusting. And the response of the ignorant fucks from Whitemenistan will predictably be, "Don't matter, got Jimbo." The people of Texas deserve better than Texas A&M.

Cross post from the baseball board. The ags have played so few CWS games, they are still getting use out of their original 1951 CWS uniforms. At least they bought new socks. At this rate, A&M won't wear out their CWS baseball uniforms until 2064.

The good thing for A&M is they can still get a number of decades of use out of those original 1951 CWS jerseys. They've hardly been worn. Nice to see they sprung for new socks this year though. Quite stylish.

aggy mentality is how bookies stay in business. aggys are just more infected with the sickness than most others. "Never wrong," always "next time." But "next time" never happens. And they are too clueless to realize they need to change. So they just keep throwing money at the problem. Recently about $450 million in borrowed money and $100 million of "tomorrow's money" for Jimbo. The only thing that has materially changed about A&M football (and athletics in general) since switching conferences is their winning overall winning percentage has bumped up because they've dumbed worn their schedule with a "must have" FCS game. About the same time they dumbed down their OOC football scheduling they also dumbed down their academics. College Station is a perpetual land of lowered expectation. But the dream of some day living in a tract home in Katy is still every aggy's "burning desire." A truly fucked up culture. The people of Texas deserve better than Texas A&M.

The concept of personal accountability means nothing in aggy culture. Which is why aggys consistently make such stupid assertions as "wait till next year." "Next year" never happens and people keep listening to their "betters" who keep making such baseless predictions of the success aggys so badly need to validate their self-images. John Sharp, Tony Buzbee, Perry, etc, etc have drive aggy athletics debt to never before seen levels to fund shiny new facilities with the promise "if we build it, we will win." Once they maxed out facilities debt they went all-in on coaching salaries. For what? 8-4, 8-4, 8-4, wash, rinse, repeat. The wrong people are leading A&M as an institution, aggy athletics, and aggy academics. Until and unless A&M gets new leadership that is not infected with the classic aggy cultural sicknesses, including giving no thought to holding leadership accountable for wrong decisions, A&M as an institution, aggy athletics, and aggy academics will continue to be second-rate in the eyes of all but those infected with the aggy cultural sicknesses. And this will never happen. Wash, rinse, repeat. It's turdition.
