November 26, 20232 yr Elko just moved from College Station to Durham and still has children in HS I think. Sure he could go back alone, but I've said it more than once, money solves a lot of problems but the wisest know when the price is too high. Duke versus A&M with regards to the current situation, makes Durham look a lot rosier.

Durham used to be kind of ghetto, but it has undergone a significant amount of gentrification recently - much like Austin but on a much smaller scale. It's turning into a really nice place to live with a lot of hip, trendy restaurants and boutiques. It's also about three hours from the coast (OBX/Wilmington/Myrtle Beach) in one direction, or roughly the same from some decent ski resorts in the western NC mountains in the opposite direction. If I were given a choice between living in Durham or living in Collie Station, it would be a no-brainer. Durham all the way.

And then he ended up fleecing aggy for more money. not sure if that is what is happening here again. But either way, it’s still fucking hilarious to watch play out.

But other than Tech I couldn't imagine a more race conscious fan base. If you recall, their DC (Ruffin McNeil) coached the bowl game and was not offered the job so he became the head coach at his alma mater, ECU.

I went to Raleigh / Durham for work over the summer. It's beautiful there. I could tell downtown Durham was being "revitalized" Would definitely Raleigh / Durham over collie station, but that's not really saying much

Someone once told me, "There are no Aggie jokes; they're all true." I think that was, itself, supposed to be an Aggie joke. But it's not. It's true, too. I've met some A&M grads, from back before Governor Goodhair turned it into a diploma mill, who have really, really good heads on their shoulders. In fact, I think the overwhelming majority of Gen X and later A&M grads see TexAgs as the wretched hive of scum and villainy that it is. But unfortunately for them, and fortunately for us, it's not the best and brightest running the show. It's Old Army and TexAgs. Edited November 26, 20232 yr by Rimbo

Granted, a few of us (vaguely points) did have a hand in an NIL thing that has brought the likes of Kelvin Banks and others to our fine campus. We're not 11-1 today without it.

November 26, 20232 yr Promoting the DL coach and making him keep the staff over an OC and a DC who were both HCs.. That’s just a recipe for cohesion, accountability and cooperation among that staff. I think they should hire Robinson to an interim role, fire Bjork and hire a real AD who can hire their own guy next year. By then things might settle down and headlines move elsewhere, and they can move toward finding a good HC without the spotlight in their face…. But they won’t because they are Aggies. They really think they can make a run next year because their star class will all be in their contract seasons, even though nearly half that class has portaled out and they have glaring holes all around the roster, and no depth outside the DL. They need a full reset to unfuck what Fisher did to the program and it’s painful to endure, we know. I mean, trade 1 Walter Nolan for 2 good tackles and a center, there’s a start. Best case scenario is they offer Robinson a one year interim deal...then someone comes along and offers him a real multi-year head coach contract. Sounds too good to be true, but with aggy anything is possible. (Except championships of course)
November 26, 20232 yr Not sure this matches the official version but a buddy said the aggy BOR basically “bowed to pressure from internet trolls” and shot down the Stoops hiring. Funny thing is, Stoops was probably about as good of a hire as they were going to realistically get at this point in time. The fact that they lack sufficient self-awareness to see that makes this debacle all the more entertaining. They still think Saban is just going to kill himself if he doesn’t get a contract offer from them, and it’s pretty damn hilarious to watch as it unfolds.

November 26, 20232 yr I actually think they are contemplating doing the same thing with Elko like they did with the Stoops news 🤣
