    There's some pretty funny stuff happening on the aggie sites, as expected. 

    Posters have fully committed to the premise that 5 stars are bad. Not all posters, but many, and that's spilling into arguments among the posters about recruiting quality. The value in taking the position that 5 stars are bad is that, with Elko's recruiting approach, poster expectations are aligning with the mediocrity of what Elko is bringing in. 

    Tom Loy showed up with a post stating that things are looking very promising for this guy:

    The competition for this guy is limited to P4 also-rans similar to ATM and then there's the faded blue blood, Nebraska. 

    I don't give a shit if a guy is a 3 star or a 5 star, provided the evaluators are people I trust. We've all lived the experience of this kind of shit, however. 3 star that no top 10 team is in on, taking them early, needing to add 30+ pounds to have a prayer of being effective in college, etc. I wouldn't want to go back to that for all of the rice in China.

    Anyway, here are some of the more enjoyable comments:

    Come on. Stars are a Jimbo Fisher evaluation. We have a smarter staff who do their own evals. Look at the kid's measurables and film. And then remind yourself that actual professional coaches know a lot that we don't.

    Stars ain't the best yardstick. We get 5* busts and 3* breakthroughs. Ainias was a 3*. Speedy Noil was a 5*.

    Touting stars makes a person look like they are a tshirt fan.

    Michigan was ranked 14 in talent composit, Washington was 26th. The game has changed."

    Aggigeboy86 2 posts below your response to me hit the nail on the head. Most of them didn’t do good here. I don’t care if they had off the field issues or not. They weren’t near as productive as many other 5 star players have been in the past few years for other teams. That was the point I was trying to make. If they go somewhere else and do good they still didn’t do it here, which is what is important to me. Advani80 also understood exactly what I was trying to convey as well."

  2. In have hated every other team in the Big 12 for my entire life. I have always hated atm and arky in particular growing up in the SWC days. I record every aggy, tech, arky, and blowu game just in case they lose so I can watch it when I need to lift my spirits.

    I never root for any team because they are also in the Big 12. I have pride in my alma mater exclusively, and everyone else can suck it.

    I suspect my behavior will remain the same with SEC teams.

    Aggies discover use of fertilzer to enhance plant growth! Breakthrough stuff. Game changer. Really cooking with gas, now!

    "Up to" 3/4 moondust mixture with earthworm shit and fungi. Lessee, that's at least 1/4 total weight of soil is earthworm shit and fungi. Hmmm. I'm sure NASA will want to devote precious payload weight to those items.  They'll probably dedicate an entire spacecraft to the effort. Below, two assholenauts pose in front of the new space scow.

    Aggies say that next time it rains on the moon, astronauts can harvest the earthworms that come to the surface and harvest fungus by deveoping athlete's foot on the feet of all astronauts. Further study is needed to determine if crotch rot fungi can used for farming as well.

    To be honest, I thought that was Elko for a fleeting moment when I glanced at that pic

    What is that fat idiot saying?

    Ketch said he is annoyed with UT fans. He makes it clear Sark can recruit so "don't come at him". HOWEVER - we missed on a lot of in state highly ranked recruits. Said we can do better in state. Said if we hit on just 3 more in state we would have had a #1 class. He walked it back a bit and said Sark recruited great, but can be "greater". Said we are not leading or have already missed on Texas top recruits for 2025

    It takes him and that dude Chad 5-10 minutes to make one point, I ran out of patience, so that's all I can offer.

  5. D'antre who? I'm glad he is going to go home to hang around with other entitled 4 stars back home. Now, they can all play grab-ass on the bench for 4 years in Florida while our guys are being developed to win championships. Give me a roster of low rated guys who bleed orange and kneel at the Sark of the Covenant. We can go portal hunting for players from smaller schools that want to play ball, not be entitled drama queens. Good riddance.

    Did I do that right?

    My dad was disappointed I had my SS card in my wallet when he took me to UT on a campus visit because "it's dumb to carry that around with you when you could lose it, just memorize the number for crying out loud!"

    I would be disappointed with my kid as well if he was carrying proof that he was a member of the Schutzstaffel in his wallet...

  7. I really don't know very much at all about Fisch. My first look is that he hasn't accomplished a lot to generate excitement if he is hired. I promise I don't know Looch personally, but I have a gut feeling that he will set me straight with his unmatched written word on not only the value of this hire, but how much of an idiot I am if I don't see a Natty in the near future with this hire.

    I may be wrong
