Slightly rambling but points as I thought of them.
Wow, talk about living in a bubble. I haven't lived in Texas for many years but I have to believe most of the texags base are not grown professionals? Or, maybe not? Very few grasp the current landscape or why they struggle. Yea, love CS, it's a real shithole. Aside from the aesthetics, being a barren cow pasture, middle of the road education in most subjects, mid at best coaches, weird ass traditions (especially of never winning anything important), etc - that screams to players to come there. They have to pay the inverse of the Saban tax and wonder why the portal is loaded with their players with no development. Texas has to pay for visits is their great mantra (transference). Yep, Austin a top 10 place to live in the US, academics in top 20 in anything important, Blue-Blood back on track and winning, NFL development, great facilities, opportunity for real exposure for NIL, tons of things to do, etc.
I have never seen a post on our forums lamenting what they are doing. This goes back to hornfans and some site prior to that (mostly lurking). We will bitch about coaches but never about what aggie is doing. I think Elko may could be a decent coach. Problem is, he's from the Jimbo tree and has nothing to draw on or good connections (look at his hires - not a coach we'd even call). The guy is faced with: Hello, this is Mike Elko at TAM, I'd like to talk with you .... response: Uhm, who are you? Yes! It's that dumpster fire of an AD in Texas that is also fiscally having issues ... but, I thing USC is too? Click.
It's great they brought back the entire OL, Hoping they can again. Look at what they did with multiple high DL draft picks last year. Wisner ran crazy on them. QE was good at times but was our weak link (hurt, no zip on ball). Should have been a much worse beating. Is their any position group they have that concerns us? Moss is a good RB, Conception seems like an OK WR but Reed has to pass the ball behind that OL.
Watch their Spring game on YT - it's 1h 12m condensed. He hit a few but is still below average on passing. They had to change secondaries and hold on rushing after the half to help him. I think 8-4 is best with a real shot at 7-5 for them. As said before they just write the jokes, it's a mockery. Goat pictures? Yea, that's cool - it went viral according to one of their guys ... maybe look at why. They embarrass Texas (the state). Oh and Trev needs an extension ASAP.
