January 1, 20242 yr He says so much by saying so little... (on a thread about how bad this year has been). Quote Martin Cash 10:37p, 12/31/23 AG Been an Aggie for 70 years. This year doesn't make the top ten of worst seasons.

Yeah, and that is a better reference for Americans than the Crimean War. But, the last Ag MNC being closer to the start of the Civil Wat has been the case for a few years now. In seven years, it will be closer to the end of the Mexican American War, than to the present. Another good reference- when the Ags won their MNC, the U.S. flag had 48 stars. Their MNC is closer to the flag having 31 stars than to now.

These are the articles from the era that I got from wikipedia Bowl vs Tulane https://www.newspapers.com/article/times-record-news-kimbrough-powers-aggie/98922850/ Game with UT https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-austin-american-tradition-upheld-as/98923182/ Neither mention a national championship nor do they even obssess over rankings, which is not bad a perfect season is real, a mythical title is mythical. That said if the aggies did have more pressure that year no doubt they lose to Tulane. It is what they are.

January 2, 20241 yr they can scream from the rooftops how much money they have, but this is the definition of a broke boy CFB coaching staff how is it possible they still have not finished up the offensive side of the ball.

January 2, 20241 yr Took a quick look at TexAgs this morning... Mistake, this is pretty much a summary.
January 2, 20241 yr I haven’t waded into Texags today. They must be very conflicted. Bama lost but so did UT. Do they celebrate UT’s loss or mourn the fact that they can’t win their 7th MNC (by conference proxy)? Maybe they consider the upcoming MNC winner to be illegitimate because they won’t be SECX3?

HOLMON WIGGINS?! remind me, how many of the dudes did he recruit who went to the NFL (that would be only the transfer)? how many WR from his his first two classes still are at Bama (that would be 0.) no Alabama fans i've seen on reddit or twitter are upset about it, which is the #1 thing i've seen that correlates to good or bad hires. reddit specifically is just a ton of A&M flairs getting super excited about it lol edit: numbers to back up the transfer info they also promoted Tony Jerod-Eddie on the defensive side evidently meaning the staff is now full? https://www.goodbullhunting.com/2024/1/2/24023328/with-confirmation-of-dl-coach-tony-jerod-eddie-mike-elkos-texas-am-football-staff-appears-complete talk about someone learning nothing from their past mistakes. they hire an OC for a dumptruck full of money, BUT he doesn't hire his own OL, RB or TE coach - all come with the defensive minded head coach from his last stop. then you moneywhip a WR coach who is the definition of an ok hire in 2024. what do they think is going to be different there with OC? this seems like a situation where Klein is there for 2 years, then leaves to go somewhere where he can hire his own staff...or they are going to do something dumb like fire him next year because of how bad the OL is. that's certainly one of the coaching staff's of all time there. how many of those guys are seen as + recruiters in 2024? Spencer and Wiggins? 8/10 hires are from the very small Elko circle. OC doesn't hire his own coaches. your defensive coach brings over 3 offensive coaches and 1 defensive coach from his prior stop? Jay Bateman is going to call plays after being baaaaaaaaaad last time he play called? Collin Klein coaching in the first time outside of KSU? Trooper Taylor in 2024? one of the most well coaches of the last 2 decades in McGriff? Edited January 3, 20241 yr by NoName
January 3, 20241 yr What a terrible coaching staff. They really think Duke coaches can compete? Hell even Charlie's staff could have easily beat them. There's no excuse for us to not mop the floor with them next season.
