It was during their stadium rebuild campaign. So from that one year of reporting in a... creative... way, the ags decided they have way more money than those stupid sips. Not even "donations," but rather pledges of future donations.

December 4, 20232 yr 2 hours ago, Lou Loomis said: I don’t think aggy realizes that Strength of Schedule is essentially a quantifiable, established - and super-easy to identify - stat nowadays. or, it just fits there MO of denial and making shit up. Georgia, for example, could’ve played a halfway decent out of conference schedule and maybe only slipped to #4 with that one close-ish CCG loss, but that’s not what happened. Originally, Georgia and OU had the first of a two game home and home set to be this year (like Texas and Alabama), but because OU was joining the SEC and the second game would be after OU joined the SEC , the SEC made Georgia/OU cancel the series and both teams had to look for a new game on fairly short notice. The Ball State game was the replacement for Georgia.

December 4, 20232 yr If you know any Aggies, today might be a good day to call them up and let them know you care about them. My aggy F-I-L was sure salty when I came to pick up my little one from them after winning the Big 12 title.

Part of accepting a bowl invite is agreeing to book a certain number of hotel rooms for a specified length at the rack rate. So the "university" will have an official aggy traveling party going to Houston that will be booked in an overpriced hotel for probably four nights.

December 4, 20232 yr Most of these minor bowls are a net loss to the school. Probably not this one though since there are no flights and minimal hotel costs. They are aggy so they'll probably take a commuter flight just so they can roll out the maroon carpet on the runway.

Haynes King left Wiggy got hurt Johnson got hurt and left Portal losses New coach always take five years to install his system Didn't want to be there considering their preseason expectations They're looking past this game to next year's (2024! the plan!) natty. tu paid the refs tu ruined college football tu will destroy the SEC Withdrawal pain from Elko coming in and cracking down on the marijuana. NO E-ROB!!!!!! Get your licks in while you can. aggy gonna out-recruit Mack and out-coach Stoops!

December 4, 20232 yr Elko should hire Walter Nolan Sr as DC to save some NIL money. Credit to Elko for keeping his OC and DC searches pretty hush-hush. Or LOL at Elko for just realizing nobody competent wants the jobs.

December 4, 20232 yr Last year's title game between Georgia and TCU had very low viewership (est. 17.2 M viewers). Over the past 150 years, A&M has graduated a bit over 500K students, many of whom are dead, and plenty of those who aren't don't give a damn about football. Let's charitably say A&M could drop viewership by about 100K people, or roughly half a percent of what will surely be a blockbuster audience, given the 4 teams involved. Good luck with that boycott, Ags.

Isn't that trope the result of a one-time bond/cashcall that netted aggy like $400M+ to renovate Pyle Field? They do it two stupid ways. One is the one year you referenced where they borrowed (took out loan or bond) to pay for their stadium renovations. They claimed this $400M as Revenue in their aggy math P&L, and so claimed to the world that they were the richest based on this. Of course this has nothing to do with revenue and is a balance sheet addition for cash/loan in and an outstanding obligation for the same. But of course...aggy. Second is where they claim 100% of the PUF as aggy endowment (not the 1/3 that is flowed to A&M system), usually closely followed by saying that makes them richer than Texas who only reports 2/3 of the PUF as endowment as that is what goes to the UT system. So their logic has them claim 100% of what should be 1/3, and when Texas rightly claims 2/3 they brag about how much richer they are than Texas. Of course ignoring this if we look at aggy endowment outside of the PUF is around $2.5B and Texas' is $13B. But aggy richer and biggest and bestest of everyone.
