Notre Dame’s schedule is pretty front loaded. They open with Miami, bye week, aggy. They really need USC and Cuse to be good to give them some national juice/attention down the stretch.
 

Freeman vs Cristobal in a close game could lead to some very entertaining coaching decisions. 
 

I’d be stunned if aggy beat them in South Bend, but Northern Illinois did exactly that last season. 
 

Enjoy it while it lasts. Elko has said before he doesn’t want to schedule marquee opponents during his tenure at aggy.

Aggy is ND's home opener. Purdue, a nothing-burger by most estimations, follows them on the schedule. ND has a bye week to tune things up after opening against Miami. NI certainly showed us last year that anything is possible, but I'm expecting this year's roller coaster "early setback" to be way way back.

And yet they want to be "CFB playoff contenders". That's the way to do it, fellas. Pussy out on scheduling marquee games to see where you stand and where you can improve. 

Biggest pussy fan base in the country.

Correct. Their next OOS opponents are ASU and Louisville.

Absolutely embarrassing. Even as embarrassing as they already are, it's laughable. Although, they're probably in deep shit against ASU, since Dillingham can actually cosch.

Go back through the various aggie threads where people retread the trope “this site always underestimates ATM and then we’re all disappointed when they beat expectations”.  This thread, 2026 recruiting thread, the 2025 football thread, and Tell Me Abour ATM are good starters. 

My God that reading assignment is worse than my high school literature teacher assigning The Grapes of Wrath followed by The Canterbury Tales

ASU might be fully operational under Dillingham by that point. Not an easy out (as we know).

The Canterbury Tales was a bawdy, medieval delight to read, sir.

I don’t see a problem with scheduling ASU or Louisville as the P4 future opponent. Hell, ASU is ours in like 2032/2033 or some shit.

It sounds like your English teacher had good taste and high hopes that you did not live up to.

I'm reading Steinbeck's Travels with Charley in Search of America right now.

His English teacher was probably amused by The Miller’s Tale like mine was 63 years ago.

I understand aggy has the ND game circled, so the Irish may as well not even show up.  But, what are the aggies going to do about being circled by UTSA?   Everyone knows teams that get circled are dooooomed.

Unfortunately for the Aggies, it's not Kool Aid. It turns out it's the Grapist.

Have we, and hear me out, have we considered circling all of our games?   Someone forward this to Bellmont !!!

I concur.  I think we should endeavor to win ALL of the games this year.  I'll write a strongly worded email.

They figured most of our team would be dead or shell-shocked after the grind of an SEC season.  It was to be a mercy killing.

I figure since it was our first year going through the meat-grinder that is the SEC, plus having to play at 'the station' at night, they didn't feel the need to waste their circles on us.  It is my understanding we were only underlined.

Does the administration at A&M believe it's unmanly to hire designers? Are they afraid that an effeminate man may show up and poison their precious bodily fluids?

It's facilities that make a great program and wakens sleeping giants. We shall build a fabulous academic building right beside the practice field for all to see! Texas A&M University home of the Fightin' Texas Aggies from Texas has arrived at last!

Mmmmmkay. I'll call a top architect and designer they'll really--

Just get the same Russian guy who designed the other buildings. 

Requirements?

Just make it any color besides that baby shit burnt orange tu uses.

No problem.

So the Aggies go forth and spend tens of millions on a plain brick building with a plain set of builder grade big windows. The kind of thing Texas uses to house utility installations. 

I have to think that Adam C. Sinn '00 comes into the picture late. The Aggie engineer/architect was given a piece of paper with the name on it and instructed to add it to the building. An inventive man, the artist uses his trusty ruler to measure the width of the building and chooses a plain blocky font. I will just jam name in space over window. Clients not fancy people. Da!

It's gorgeous. He positions it at the top of the plain not-burnt-orange wall just above the wildly inventive and attractive brownish gray louvered thing that really pulls the design together. Not an inch is wasted with spacing. And, thank goodness!, the whole clumsy title fits! 

Mr. Sinn must have his full name, including middle initial, spelled out. Adam C. likes his class year present because it might make people think he is a double nought spy. The whole thing represents the understated way that Fightin' Texas Aggies like to announce themselves. A big, ugly headline, "I'm a Aggie!"

I suppose it was the headline idea that made breaking the building name into lines that fit on the big burnt orange brick side of the wall unthinkable.

Adam C. Sinn '00

Academic and

Wellness Center

 

or just maybe

You will be shocked to know that I have no design experience. I should have applied for the job.

[What do you think, William?]

It's for "student" athletes at aggie.

Academics may be crammed up there on the wall, but thats the only place it will be found.

He gave $20M to the actual finance program a few years ago, I believe, as well.

I just read some of the stuff that's available about him. The Aggies may have a problem on their hands.

An Aggie piece about him says that he followed a "friend" to A&M.

His bio shows no wife and kids.  Prepare for:

"We love homosexuals here at A&M!"

 

After lamenting that we have one guy who buys all of our players which makes tu ebil, now they have a guy like that. So, naturally, they'll brag that he's the richest sugar daddy in the whole world.
