It's one of several things:

1) the team knows Haynes King sucks and should not be the starter

2) the veterans on the team are miffed that the true freshman are sitting on mountains of bag money and they've got a piddling deal if anything at all

3) Jimbo's system sucks and they know it

Anybody else find it interesting that Jimbo is wearing a Tommy Bahama pullover and not aggy gear?

Not only were those jokes bad and cringy... Aggy calling anyone else "hillbilly" is the pot calling the kettle black.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- Texas A&M officials have apologized to Penn
State administrators for a student leader's references to needing a
"casket" for coach Joe Paterno.

One A&M yell leader, during a pep rally Thursday night, told the
crowd that Paterno was "on his death bed" and "someone needs to
find him a casket." The remarks drew boos from the crowd.

Paterno turned 81 last week. Penn State faces A&M on Saturday
night in the Valero Alamo Bowl.

A&M team spokesman Alan Cannon said Friday he did not know the
name of the yell leader, though the student has been sent home.

The yell leaders -- similar to cheerleaders -- are A&M's official
spirit organization and lead fans' cheers during games and
other school events. They are elected by the student body.

Some A&M and Penn State fans said the student's remarks were
offensive and inappropriate.

Paterno, at a news conference Friday at the Alamodome, said he
was backstage with Aggies interim coach Gary Darnell when the
comments were made, but did not hear them.

I can’t remember a coach’s press conference when they were not in school gear.

Maybe he’s in vacation mode already. A $90M payout would buy a lot of canned piña coladas down at Surfside Beach or wherever the fuck aggy dreams of vacationing.

Eh, fuck that, they deserved no apology I believe Paterno allowed Sandusky, a.k.a., Tickle Monster, to travel to the  bowl game with an underage boy. The incident with the Aggie Fucks was four years before the PSU's institutional rape scandal was brought to light.

Fuck both delusional fan bases.

 

 

Victim 4 became a fixture in the Sandusky household, sleeping overnight and

accompanying Sandusky to charity functions and Penn State football games. Victim 4 was listed,

along with Sandusky's wife, as a member of Sandusky's family party for the 1998 Outback Bowl

and the 1999 Alamo Bowl. He traveled to and from both bowl games with the football team and

other Pemr State staff, coaches and their families, sharing the same accommodations. Victim 4

would frequently stay ovemight at Toftrees with Sandusky and the football team prior to home

games; Sandusky's wife was never present at Toftrees when Victim 4 stayed with Sandusky.

This was where the first indecent assaults of Victim 4 occurred.

Not as interesting as wearing a fuggin pullover to begin with in 100 degree September.

I was also thinking about the starters being pissed at the freshmen making so much more money. “Want someone to make a play, coach? Why don’t you ask the freshman who backs me up? He’s the one you’re paying so much!”

I love that they have someone there translating it into sign language.  She should have just been signing "WTF this person is a deranged lunatic and you should not be here"

Where’s that Chron article saying this was the year Jimbo should win it all?

Not a subscriber, but I assume this is it:

Serious question, how does aggy approach midnight yell practice for Miami this week? They have to do it, because tradition, but sports fans across the country are eagerly waiting to see those same 4 yell leaders go out there and make fools of themselves again.

A week after making lame jokes about App State, then losing to App State, then becoming a nationwide punchline, they have to do it again, for everyone to see.

Will they cancel their own live stream and prohibit cameras?

Guarantee you they'll throw in a "joke" about Miami naming themselves after a natural disaster.

Oh, I know. They're also issuing DMCA takedown notices to everyone who posts an excerpt to ridicule aggy.

Like I said, they're not embarrassed about it.  Not even one bit.

They just don't like being "falsely accused" of their open bigotry and stupidity. 

So the answer to @wild_turkey's question remains-- they'll proceed with livestreaming their midnight yell for the Miami game as per usual. And they'll no doubt once again say something bigoted, racist, and/or stupid.

The reactions on Texags (which is possibly the most delusional extreme of their fan base) would disagree with you. Lots of infighting about the entire concept of midnight yell and whether or not it should be allowed to continue.

 

That's just New Army trying to flex on Old Army, happens every year in one way or another.  Even at a backward-ass place like TAMU, there's still a generation gap.

But the fact that it's still up on their official youtube channel tells us all we need to know about the official stance on the subject.  After all, the Sully statue is still standing proudly on their campus.

Shit, man. Klatt thinks so much like us, UT should award him an honorary degree.

Part Stockholm syndrome, but mainly just afraid Drew Kelson will show up at his door one night to explain CTE without using words. 
 

Still, he’s one of the best talking heads covering CFB.
