But the model decided upon by Perry, et al, was to push the first two years of aggy undergrad education to the state's junior colleges and community colleges, with the College Station campus being a "finishing school" for STEM majors. Under that approach, it was believed the state could theoretically produce upward of 40,000 STEM graduates from A&M each year, thus meeting the projected demands of the Texas economy for STEM graduates.

That was the "quantity over quality" approach. So far, not many of us are impressed with the "quality" of the resultant product. Personally, I don't give a shit because we never even interview Texas A&M grads.

Here is one of my favorite examples of how aggy wanting to be "just like tu" holds them back.

One of the favorite aggy dreams is "equal PUF funding." That will never happen. First of all, it would take a Constitutional amendment. Secondly, the UT system has far more students than the A&M system, and A&M administrators have already shown they have no interest in developing a legitimate university system. Any additional PUF funding given to the A&M system would be squandered on the College Station campus.

"Equal" PUF funding would take money from various UT system schools who have shown far more promise than any A&M system school (apologies to TAMU-CC that made it into the NCAA MBB tourney, lol). The PUF financial assets are at $31.B. Current funding gives A&M 1/3 of the 0.0525 distribution, which works out to be around $525 million/yr. "Equal" funding with the UT system would give A&M approximately $787.5 million (annually), a difference of roughly $260 mil.

But what the ags don't understand is that UT Austin is FAR more heavily funded by the state legislature and Congress than A&M. UT receives about $6k per FTSE more than A&M from the state, and about $8k per FTSE from Congress. A difference of about $14k per student. Multiply that by A&M's 55.6k enrollment, and it is a difference of well over $750 million, about three times what A&M would potentially receive if "equal" PUF funding was effected.

So the ags bleat about wanting to split the PUF "equally" instead of pressing their elected representatives for equal legislative funding. So much for the value of a Mays Business School education.

The problem for A&M is that a rote education model is far cheaper to effect than a meaningful education model. Elected representatives know this. They aren't going to waste taxpayer money on equalizing A&M and UT Austin legislative funding. In short, if a UT-level education could be delivered on an A&M budget, UT Austin and TAMU would have equal funding. But what the state's economy needs is a whole bunch of STEM grads produced from a rote learning model and a smaller number of well-educated individuals produced from a meaningful learning model.

And, while every aggy would immediately begin to argue with me about this, the fact is the Texas economy has been running quite smoothly using this approach for the past few decades. Meanwhile, aggy is still struggling to define their educational model and to employ it effectively and efficiently.

"Quantity over quality" is only effective in trade school applications. The "aggy network" exists because any aggy is pretty much replaceable by any other random aggy. Not many of them have specific skills, not many of them have specific value. They are essentially all generic and replaceable by another College Station cog. That is because they all had the same rote learning education.

40,000 aggy graduates a year?!?!   And that's how you kill the state's economy...  and population.

Having a "military education" leads aggys to contemplate the more serious aspects of life.

Who can explain why there are so few underground bomb shelters in and around Houston? You know, in case Russia were to launch a land invasion and subject the population to indiscriminate bombing raids.

"Kind of random, and definitely in the highly unlikely scenario, but what would we do in most of the US if something like this happened? As far as I know, here, in Houston, none of our buildings have bomb shelters or cellars that could act as one to house the public...." https://texags.com/forums/16/topics/3274372/replies/61695513

Why the fuck is aggy worried about bomb shelters?  Aren't they supposed to save the world from the commie bastards while Ukraine and the rest of us sit around and sip tea?

So typical that they think the committee or anybody is watching them in the NIT and having second thoughts of their bubble experience. The only remaining bubble is the one full of self-important delusion Aggies inhabit.

Big shock.

LSU actually, closely followed by Bammers. Having said that, the aggys in there are just happy to be first in something for once, doesnt really matter to them what that may be.

Rote education works. The five words aggys say after graduation: "You want fries with that?"

Which brings to mind a certain state legislator from Brazos county who, during the floor debate on a bill, said from the front mike, "Members, I've just got two words to say to you: Please vote no."

Let's give aggy its due. If you are a lazy fuck, are ok with spending your entire life in a tract home in "Katy adjacent" (sipping tea while there are wars to be won in Europe), and never want to get out of your comfort zone or actually experience life, Texas A&M is the perfect trade school.

Also, aggys "know" if they ever run into financial difficulty, they can always grab a quick $1 mil cash by simply explaining their "yell leader" tradition. The knowledge they gain in Fish Camp about at which game in 1907 their "yell leader" tradition originated gives every and any aggy the ability to become an instant millionaire.

How many "tu" grads who are intellectually lazy can become an instant millionaire based on the "value" of their school's turditions?

advantage aggy.

If it takes you another 20 years to get back there it will be too soon. I can peacefully die knowing my last time in Collie Station was truly the last.

Well, that was when I moved away when I was a kid. Not the kinda place you go to unless you live there for some unfortunate reason out of your control like me.

I last went there with my brother & dad in 1975 to see the fabulous Metzger Gun Collection on display upstairs in their student union building.  Prior to that, the only time on their campus was to attend the 1963 15-13 football victory in that mudhole Pyle Field.

LOL these times.

 

We all know why SloNeal didn't run at the NFL combine. Fastest 40 for a safety was Nick Cross of Maryland at 4.34 and slowest was Quentin Lake of UCLA at 4.59. SloNeal ran a 4.70. Nobody was in the 4.6s. 

So A&M went from telling everyone before the season they were going to have 4-5 1st and 2nd round picks in the NFL draft to basically only having Green and Leal go in the top 2 rounds.
