Been a long time, Brauny. I've missed your dreaminess.

 That just may be an unprecedented level of bewilderment. Here's a fair edit to boil down 7 lines:

Roll out the expertise, strong man. We know that you are far more than the dull-eyed brute you present as! Make monkies of your detractors!

1. Accurate self-diagnosis on the bewilderment.

2. Brauny sets Dickens as the mark for what is to follow. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, ... it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us... Admirable allusion to an apt quote. I had to look it up! How will our muscular scribe articulate this complex and simple occurrence?

3. That, my friends, is insight. He promises to boil it down to "the short version." I wish Yogi Berra was here to help us peel the onion.

1 I believe those are the same thing, Braunster. just remember to push this to see light coming out of the computer box:

2 Hard to fathom? You see, this is what it's like to feel like you understand something. I sometimes feel like I can reconcile the theories of relativity and quantum physics.

More what? All you gave us here was basically that the Aggies got creamed.

Deep stuff.

You were right, Billy ... but which one was that?

He's Not Here is an excellent pregame bar in Chapel Hill, and that is the only fact that lends any believability to that dude's schtick.

UNC fans have waaaay more in common with UT than A&M.

I don't doubt the UNC ties, reddit has more than a third of posters have dual loyalties, even stuff like Michigan and tOSU fans with flairs, but at the end of the day the sus thing (going around for 20+ years now) are aggies pretending they were never aggies but then they visit Kyle and they become one for life.

It is a koolaide cult fanfiction recruiting, and it is the most bizarre thing they do online. (offline they take the cake for weirder things)

Something I thought about the other day, how much two events that happened several years ago put aggy athletics in the position they are today:

  1. Playing out the Covid year in football. Their 9-1 smoke and mirrors record was the major influence in extending Jimbo to that ridiculous contract, an albatross they'll be fighting for years. That season also prompted the 2022 recruiting class spending spree that blew up the program spectacularly. 
  2. Big brother hiring del Conte. Aggy seemed to have gotten lucky with the Pierce to Texas, CDC to Texas, Schloss to ag timeline. Unfortunately for them, we pulled the plug on Pierce and inevitably hired Schloss before he could end aggy NC drought. But then they took it to another level and really stuck it to us, hiring our hitting coach right out from under us, the guy who was the brains behind the CWS run. Then money-whipping all those loyal, red-ass, good ags to come back, post  #1 Preseason Ranking (whoop!) and show Schloss what a big mistake he made leaving Good Ol' Texas and Mechanical College!

I spent a great deal of time on the NC State message boards for a few years in the late 1990s. I started there by researching Mack Brown, and ended up staying because they were hilarious.

But the way they viewed UNC struck me as very similar to how A&M views Texas. And the way they perceived UNC viewed them was exactly how I felt I perceived A&M. 

It's actually quite a common dynamic among flagship versus land grant schools. Michigan and Michigan State certainly have a lot of it. The difference is that A&M was an all male compulsory ROTC school for much of its history, and because of that its cultural foundations are very odd.

Much of it's history?

The compulsory corps and ROTC ended 60 years ago and they've been a coed school for 56 years. That's damn near 40% of their history, and quickly approaching the majority.

Every aggy born since ~1950, went to a coed, non-compulsory ROTC school.

State is my local team, and they're generally great people and good football fans that throw an excellent tailgate, but the conspiracy theory vibes that creep in when UNC gets mentioned are pretty bad.

He should have said “the formative years.”
 

Aggy is such a weird CULTure that those traditions created when they were isolated and bored are what the red-assed masses revere and continue to repeat. They were established when they were all male and all white, and many are traditions that they would never invent today.

Those traditions are the main things that set them apart. They’re also the main things that hold them back. Normal people struggle with being a part of that, and aggies can’t have a true image of self because they’re biased towards people who “get them.”

This doesn't explain 1940–2019

Yeah, I mean, if we're throwing out pedantry over here, I think MUCH is pretty accurate. 60% seems like Much. Maybe a stretch to call it Most. But I think we can all agree it's a preponderance. 

 

I don't think anyone's arguing they haven't had enough time to create a less petty, underachieving, self important, glory-by-association, didn't-lose-just-ran-out-of-time, little brother culture. It's just that their considerable history as ROTC weirdos still informs their present co-ed, less-military-focused brand of kookiness.

(Edit:  Just remembered there's a general SEC thread as well ... guess this is meant to be Aggy-only ... oh, well)

 

Holy smokes  ...  Jackson Cantwell committed to Miami.

After weeks - months - of seemingly being locked into Georgia.

Ah, yes ... public record.

Imagine being a fucking GA fan and whining about fucking NIL. It just goes to demonstrate just how fucking tilted the bag landscape was before NIL. BoooHoo, we only sign Top 3 classes now instead of the top overall classes. What a bunch of fucking pussies.
