What's hilarious to me is that nearly every outlandish aggy claim here is something I have overheard aggy discussing and acting self-important about. That includes their "most recognizable rings in America" and that Freebirds is an aggy creation. Not to mention pissheads, whip out, zips, and HOWDY!

Fish Camp is an amazing waste of time.

My nightmares have come home to roost. I fear this is the final piece needed to awaken the sleeping giant that is aggy.

I'm coming to the point where stuff like aggy's mediocre DC being paid $2 million is more annoying than amusing. There's so many better ways the state of Texas could use that money. Even aggy could find a less stupid outlet for that money (I don't know, maybe that's asking too much). 

In case anyone is interested in some of the basics of what is happening on he academic side of the state's public schols, the THECB just released its 2019 Almanac. Lots of basic facts about enrollment numbers, revenue, admissions profiles, basic faculty numbers, etc.

I need analysis not numbers! I’ll take an educated guess and guess Aggie is trending the wrong direction. 

Aggy enrollment still going up, but yet again fewer faculty than year before. Student/faculty ration now over 24:1.

School resources stretched even more. Spending per student dropped yet again.

UT acceptance rate unchanged. A&M still higher acceptance rate than Tech.

At UT, roughly 3/4 of the freshmen were in the top 10% of their graduating class. At aggy, about 50%. At Tech, fewer than one in five.

Yeah, but just wait til next year when Tech experiences the increase in applications due to being in the National Title game.

Spend per student:

UT - $43,809

A&M has over 20% more students than UT, yet fewer faculty. That is one thing that caught my eye.

No claim, no matter how obscure, refutable, and obviously full of shit, will lack for "evidence" in aggyland, I assure you. One of the defining elements of a cult is that all arguments, when reduced ad absurdam, will involve appeals to authority, and the authority in question will be unapproachable. For aggy, that will always be the anonymous aggy (or, sometimes, the conveniently dead aggy) whose unimpeachable character renders their testimony (hearsay or not) truer than a tautological truth.

I have seriously spoken with more rational communists, more rational religious fanatics, and more rational schizophrenics than what I encounter on a daily basis with devotees to the aggy religion.

I'll just go ahead and admit it now, had to look tautological up.

Stupid sip. Fish camp alone enbiggens the aggy brain like 500%. So they're already like, super-DUPER smart before they take their first class so they don't need to have all of them fancy professors and teachin' folk like other schools. Advantage aggy.

Wait I do know that word. Tautology - saying the same thing twice. Like The fast and speedy service.

That's ridiculous. For comparison:

Other big publics: 

UH 22:1

Tx St 21:1

Tech 20:1

UT Austin 18:1

 

Notable private schools:

TCU 13:1

SMU 11:1

Trinity 9:1

Rice 6:1

Back before there were franchises in the Texas Union, they served a burrito remarkably similar to what you can get at Freebirds. It was quite literally the only thing that I liked there, in fact. Freebirds is good, for what it is -- fast food burritos. But to hang your hat on it as some sort of cultural mainstay, even if it were factual (and, aggy being aggy, that should never be assumed), that's just silly.

Anyway, that style of burrito is a California thing, pure and simple, no ifs, ands, or buts. For aggy to claim it is just one more example of collective dementia.

I’d go with delusions of grandeur but overall sounds pretty spot on.

Well, they did spend $73,000,000 to purchase that third rate Wesleyan law school. So aggy gonna aggy.

$2 million?  For what?

What's funny is yes, at times their defense last year was a step up from prior years.  Yes, that's not saying much.  I also remember Sumlin's first year they had a decent squad on defense as well; especially against the run as this years team was better at stopping.

You know the rest of the story....

Why run the ball when slo'neal could not keep up with a tight end?

Yeah. This has to be for him helping to cook the books for the state.

For the 2018-2019 fiscal year, the TAMU Main Campus operating budget was $1.7B.  The budget for UT Austin was $3.1B. 

 

Adding $71.5 mil to A&M’s budget isn’t that material.
