NIL was a different form back then? Barry's only other scholarship offer from what we now call the P5 was Iowa State. Even if you try to apply the NIL/Portal era, Barry's only big year was 1988 and went pro the next year. He played behind Thurman in '87 and had like 600 yards and probably wouldn't be big on the NIL/Portal radar of major programs. Not to mention we just retained Ollie Gordon, this year's Doak Walker winner, and he obviously could have made NIL bank somewhere else, so we at least have NIL capabilities to compete on retaining our own players. 

I think Thurman Thomas was recruited by UT and some other big programs, but they wanted to move him to defensive back, he went to OSU because they gave him a shot at RB. It seemed to work out for us.

Fuck aggy.

There's a story about Barry Switzer telling his players not to hurt Thurman Thomas because that meant that Barry Sanders would become the feature back and tear them up even worse.

He’s a dipshit redneck.  He would adapt very quickly.

He is that, but as far as football, he is an honest guy. And he would give them an honest assessment of everything they do wrong, and what needs to change in order to turn the tide. And we all know how well the powers that be at aggie handle being told that "their way" isn't the very bestest way.

Here are some authentic aggy views on Oklahoma State, made during and immediately after the Big 12 title game (i.e., after Texas was destroying Oklahoma State, but before aggy knew it would be playing Oklahoma State in a bowl).   Let's see if they feel the same way after the game tonight...

Pat Jones was an idiot....

Heh. I used to watch his coaches show early on Sunday morning on some obscure channel. It was hilarious. He would basically spend he whole show talking about how stupid his own players were.

How many SEC teams would lose to Okie State? Oh I will have fun with that quote tonight.

I thought it was pretty telling they had his high school coach on talking about how their friendship made it into Barry's time in the NFL and while Wayne Fonts didn't have a big role he still got infinite more time than ol Pat did.

There is a link to the clip on YouTube time stamped and all ready to view. I couldn't link it in line because of an NFL films claim.

Don't know how current this is but I saw aggy at -3.5.  

Isn't that the definition of free money?

 

It opened at that but has since moved to the Pokes by 2 yesterday.

Stewardess, "Would you like something to read?" 

Football fan/Airplane passenger, "Do you have anything light?" 

Stewardess, "How about this leaflet?  Aggies TaxAct Bowl scholarship depth chart?"  

Football fan/Airplane passenger, "Yes, thank you."

What kind of airliner are we flying on to have access to Aggy National Championship merch??

Was just in Dicks Sporting Goods with my son looking around. Walking down a shoe aisle while some Aggies were walking out and wouldn't you know it.

Seems like the Big 12's hate for Texas is so strong that they're actually rooting for aggy out of spite, even against one of their own, which is pretty much the aggy-est thing ever.

It's probably just some regarded Big 12 intern who posted it. Didn't know which fuckin' team is actually in the league.

They're too busy getting prepared to play for a REAL football coach, sick of that ERob hype! They'll all be back on the roster next year!

Is that 9 of the possible 55 scholarship guys they were talking about having? I want to revel in their misery but not get close enough to get any on me.
