This is true alignment of a player’s thinking along with the school’s thinking.

They always think they’re something that they’re not.

as  you might expect the replies are very entertaining so far. The Geico Pinocchio has even made an appearance

Man, like someone said in the replies, he wouldn’t even be the best if we were taking about high school.

Why does anyone gaf what that dude says again?

'Safety net' maybe? Like a trust fall partner. 'Best' is still debatable.

You could say this about anything that comes from him. No way to know the diff though.

I am really reaching on the benefit of the doubt here. He knows he isnt. But aggy believes it because he said it.

There are two ways to cement your name in Aggie lore; win a trophy of any sort, or, more likely, talk shit about the ‘sips. Leon is fully aware that he is limited to only one path to his Aggie stardom.

Holy crap, the ags have actually done something somewhat impressive - $546 million is a large commitment for a smaller system such as Texas A&M. Let's read the article to see how those idiots managed to allocate such a large sum of their resources to do this.

Quote

“Texas A&M’s rise in prominence – especially within the health care arena – is reflected with the aggressive expansion of properties near the Texas Medical Center,” Chancellor Sharp said. “The Houston medical scene is about to see the benefits of Aggie ingenuity and our dedication to service.”

The cost of the complex is an estimated $546 million, including $145 million for the purchase and renovation of an 18-story building, plus $401 million in private sector money to build two new towers.

 

Um...."rise to prominence"?!? Ok, whatever.

Ah! Here is the first "aggy surprise." "The cost of the complex is an estimated $546 million, including $145 million for the purchase and renovation of an 18-story building, plus $401 million in private sector money to build two new towers."

So, in reality, A&M isn't investing $546 million into the Texas Medical Center, they are investing $145 million, and the additional $401 million (the majority of the money) is coming from the private sector which will actually own most of the project.

Why am I not surprised that yet another boastful aggy claim doesn't last 30 seconds until it is completely debunked.

I'm not going to even bother right now to see how much of the aggy's $145 mil is actually AUF proceeds or loan proceeds backed by AUF proceeds. It isn't cash the aggys just happen to have laying around, it isn't cash flow from operations, and it isn't an alumni gift.

Bottom line - I knew when I read the headline it was just another outright aggy lie.

The people of Texas deserve better than Texas A&M.

 “The Houston medical scene is about to see the benefits of Aggie ingenuity and our dedication to service.”

Sorry, Houston.

So - along the lines of the "aggy investments" in the Texas Medical Center... I was doing some work down there last year for the UT Health Science Center (which is a pretty cool facility)... and while up on the 16th floor, had a great view of the TMC:

Very clean, professional, and modern.

Then I started looking around, off to the left, and saw this little sad Soviet-style architecture building off almost by itself.  It had a cheap-looking slap-dash GIGANTIC sign plastered on the upper facade, so I took a picture.  Yup.  You guessed it.

spacer.png 

Just so you know what we're dealing with.  But you're not surprised.  It's aggy.

I've worked on all those buildings out there. Methodist dominates that area. UTMB is still the best hospital and teaching hospital by a mile. All the best and newest buildings, all the top research and everything. Aggy getting into healthcare this late is hilarious. Have they seen Dell medical center? Ever heard of MD Anderson?

Don't know what Aggy plans to build, but in that area they will never catch up to Methodist.

Just remember, if you want to find the aggy building in the TMC, head to the Houston Community College building and turn right. 

I know exactly where that building is. 

My guess is that the aggy “$145 million” is the current estimated market value of the land and building, plus future AUF proceeds.

this is their version of getting a law school

So, they’ll be awarding dual degrees in leeching and log stacking? 

Who in their right mind would knowingly go to an aggy doctor?  When a patient dies, will they tell the family that they didn't really die, they just ran out of heartbeats?  Are they going to specialize in crush trauma?

I might take my mother in law to one. "Leg's broke, you wanna shoot her or you want me to do it?"

Actually, Mrs. Brat’s mom took her to an aggy veterinary 70 years ago after the real MD doctor didn’t know how, short of surgery,  to fix her protruding belly button.  

Aggy vet just pushed it (her belly button, you assholes) in with his thumb, taped and wrapped it.
Problem solved, so advantage aggy.

Someone from out of the state once asked me how ugly and homely most aggy women are. Here’s some proof. I went to high school with this guy. He went to aggy because he was a wildlife conservation and management major. Anyway, this is his wife.

They have a kid now. At least the kid looks more like him and not her. Also that hat he’s wearing, only in college station could you find something stupid like that.

Aggy is renovating it you say? Looks like a great site for the memorial, anyway.

Im not arguing one way or the other, but 740 was talking about it on Friday and noted the 400m came from private donations. Not sure if that was correct or not.  Funny thing, the story immediately after was that there is a group from UT that thinks they will have a vaccine for the coronavirus in about 18 months, about 15 years sooner than usual (per the radio talking head).   Carry on.

Maybe one of the recruiting gurus remembers( @Fud @Sydney Cartoon  @closetojumping @Burt Macklin) but I almost swear it was O’Neal.   At least happened during his class iirc.   Safety/CB in question was talking shit on Twitter, and one of his peers starting replying with clips from camps where he had gotten burned. It went on and on and until someone asked him to cut it out.  In my mind it was O’Neal, but definitely happened. Either way, fuck that redass tortoise.

No, it’s not correct. They could only come up with $135 mil for their football stadium. There is no way A&M could come up with $400 mil for dorms for med students in Houston. 

If $400 mil had come from alumni gifts, we would have been inundated with boastful aggy pecockery. The $400 mil is private money. As in private investment dollars. It’s a public/ private deal like their campus hotel and UT’s new b-ball arena.

Coincidentally the Harvey Relief Fund is short $135 mil.

They’ve all roasted him. I think Woodard clowned him during a camp and it gets posted occasionally as a response to O’Neal’s stupidity.

In Sharponomics, it's ALL revenue AND endowment.

At the same time.
