Per AAS: #letsride vs. #YESSIR

What an interesting recruiting climate it is these days

I'm almost more blown away by that fact than the fact that premier institutions are getting into twitter wars to begin with

These be strange times, indeed.

Not only did someone write an article about it, they went out of their way to backhand Aggies - whose coach orginated the recruiting commit hashtag buzzord - without any mention of how lame it was for Charlie to copy it.

In fact, his account was relatively dormant until Brown stepped down in December. Now, he’s a Twitter machine.

Indeed he is

He still hasn't quite got the hang of it though. He posts a ton but very little of it is even remotely interesting

I don't care about who started it or who's copying who, it's just funny that he talked about "gadgets" in a derogatory manner and THEN did this.

Chollie is a perfect fit at little brother

1. Can't come up with something original, copies Sumlin and now Austin claims there's a recruiting war

2. Calls our program gadgety, runs the most gadgety program in the NCAA (twitter, LHN, the entire AD, football games in Mexico City, list goes on)

3. Already running the "we're Texas" banner loud and proud.

In 20 years we'll get to hear all about how strong actually used #letsride before dumb aggy ever thought about copying him and made #YESSIR.

They actually believe this?

You guys in knots? suicide watch? need some Prozac?

He's right. I have wound myself in knots. I've wound myself in knots from laughing.

It seems like, immediately after protesting Sumlin's 'gadgetry', they had a gadget brainstorming session at Belmont and the two ideas they came up with were

#letsride - which has very uncomfortable echos of 9/11 for a lot people

And

Drumroll

Playing a game in Mexico City

Sounds exactly like every corporate dipshit brainstorming session I've ever been involved in. I doubt Charlie had much input on either.

Didn't not realize that laughing in derision was tantamount to being in wound in knots.

Fake Coach strong is a great follow too. On NSD he tweeted:

I think my fax machine is broken.
