March 12, 20223 yr @Randolph Duke You might find this guy's thread interesting, he talks about the Rudder stuff, and integration, etc. Check his whole thread out, he talks about being on the receiving end of The Battalion journalists, etc.

The Rudder Association wants to perpetuate that problem. Having a spineless twit as the public figurehead of the university while major decisions are made in back rooms by people who insist in remaining nameless and whose conversations are off limits to the public is simply bad governance. It should not be allowed, but Texas is Texas. Texas A&M primarily exists to perpetuate a certain culture. It is not about leadership. It is not primarily about education. The mentality of those in the Rudder Association who insist "them is gonna out-breed us and take away our culture" is the exact type of thinking that has held Texas A&M back from being a great institution since the days of Jefferson Davis. It is also the exact type of thinking The Rudder Association exists to perpetuate. If the members of The Rudder Association want to come out of the shadows and have an honest conversation about the direction of the university, great. Allow all voices to be heard. But they want power without accountability, influence without disclosure and, quite frankly, to promote beliefs that are rooted in long discredited Sul Ross-era Jim Crow foundations. That being said, if anyone in The Rudder Association wants to take me up on my "$1,000,000 Texas A&M Traditions Challenge" and tell us which game in 1907 their "yell leader" tradition originated, I will send The Rudder Association a $1 million check to fund their activities. But at Texas A&M, the groups that insist they are rooted in "school traditions" are clueless. That alone should tell people these smoothbores aren't concerned about the school, its traditions, or the best interests of the students.

March 12, 20223 yr Looch is crying like a bitch on Twitter about aggy basketball being in the tournament.
March 13, 20223 yr You guys need to go check out Looch's twitter since aggy didn't make the tournament.

March 13, 20223 yr Here's the thing: everyone knew that aggy could only make tourney if they won the SEC tourney. Nobody expected them to make the finals, but making the finals wasn't enough. tl;dr: suck it, aggy

Now nobody in NCAA leadership positions want football playoff expansion nor too many SEC teams in the basketball tournament. The SIPS!!!!....ALWAYS THE SIPS!!!!

Got it. **** the Domers. wait posted too soon it is The Domers.....FUCKING DOMERS!!!!!

March 14, 20223 yr aggy's view of things: "Finally, I know the committee and the media are dominated by liberal arts majors who probably haven't had a math course since middle school, but still, even a tiny functioning knowledge of math would seem to still be lurking. Yet, not one person - anywhere - seems to understand the concept of a denominator. They talk about the strength this year of the SEC, but 6/14 (43%) isn't that great compared to the Big 12 (6/10, 60%) or the Big 10 (9/14, 64%)." https://texags.com/forums/7/topics/3278026/replies/61676727 The outside world's view of aggy: "a cultural bias that impedes risk identification" https://www.usfa.fema.gov/downloads/pdf/publications/tr-133.pdf Edited March 14, 20223 yr by Randolph Duke

March 14, 20223 yr Popular Post I like this one from an Aggy scholar: cupofjoe04 AG We are out. They don't give a crap how we feel or what we say. There is nothing we can do to force a response from the NCAA, and they would be idiots to give us any sort of a response. It's a loose-loose for everyone.

I keep hearing/reading President Hartzell talking about how UT is taking advantage of this really unique time in history where Austin is this exciting hub of technology, growth, vision, the brand, etc. And I have to stop sometimes and wonder, "Are we just saying that because we're dedicated Longhorns? Is that really the objective case or just wishful thinking...why didn't we do it the last 25 years then?" As with most things, the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle. And then I look at A&M. The State of Texas, and even the whole United States, has never embraced ignorance and stupidity more than we have in the last few years. It's cool, finally, to dismiss critical thinking, knowledge, questions, and the pursuit of truth. Society has finally aligned with Aggie principles and ideals, and they're failing to capitalize on it. Everything they embrace is finally broadcast, writ large, on our state and nation. They should be fucking crushing it. They should be the Harvard of the intellectually mediocre. Their brand should have grown ten-fold. This is the time to be ignorant, to belittle thinking, and to embrace alternative intellectualism. This is their moment. How are the fucking this up so bad? Oh yeah, they're Aggies.

The University of Texas and Texas A&M operate on two different instructional models. UT focuses on "meaningful learning." A&M employs "rote learning." "Meaningful learning refers to the concept that the learned knowledge (lets say a fact) is fully understood by the individual and that the individual knows how that specific fact relates to other stored facts (stored in your brain that is)." "Rote learning is where you memorize something without full understanding and you don't know how the new information relates to your other stored knowledge." https://web.ics.purdue.edu/~rallrich/learn/mean.html The difference in the two instructional models is immense. Quick example - every aggy loves him his Bible and, because he was taught so, he knows every word in the Bible is exactly what God himself wrote down with his #2 pencil "back then." A UT grad would be taught the accepted meanings of words change over time and that any modern interpretation would need to be considered with respect to various biases of those who translated the texts from different its original languages and how the meaning of various words have changed over time. A quicker example - an aggy looks at a grocery store bar code and "knows" the reader reads the black lines. A UT grad looks at the same thing and realizes the reader reads the white lines.
