Would you have preferred him just own the obvious or do y’all like how defiant he remained on the issue.

Not trying to shite talk y’all the result is what it is.

Question is would you have preferred Jimbo saying “I’m proud of the way our staff and University has adapted to the changing landscape of college football” rather than: “nah we’re too poor to pull off anything like that NIL bullshite”?

NIL is legal, why deny it?

Why deny it and start talking about cheaters in the past??

Also, if NIL wasnt approved, does he land this class?

Dude cracked Bc he knows they went all SMU

I agree with everything he said. Only a naive fool would say Jimbo was lying or was wrong.

Simple answer. I expect him to use the moment to motivate his team because he’s a coach and that’s what good coaches do.

I do, but I understand his frustration and I am equally irritated. It's "blue-blood" arse hurt at it's finest.

Get used to Aggy running this shite.

Come on Strap-on, you’re better than that….

You can’t state in You’re title “Not Trolling” and have your first line be a troll job.

What “obvious” should he own? What proof do you have of the “obvious”.

Until then, GFYS

Are we ready to admit Kelly made an arse of himself in the disco room?

I guess I’m ok with Jimbo defending the integrity of his school, players and coaches.

Now…. If he started grinding on recruits…. Well, that’s a bridge to far!

If he would have just laughed it off and said “that’s Lane, I guess,” it wouldn’t even be a story. Instead he fed the troll.

That’s what I’m so fascinated about. What is he trying to prove by denying it?

So, if someone talked serious shlt about your wife or kids…. You’d just laugh it off and move on down the road.

From my perspective, that makes you a pussy

I think he had to say it. Part of it was calling out people that were celebrating their own NIL deals and part of it was calling BS on the $30 mill figure. The $30 mill figure was important to call out because it is simply false.

I think a lot of folks don't realize the impact of a false rumor like that with team chemistry if it isn't called out. If a starter at A&M who isn't getting big NIL money thinks a recruit is making $1 million and he isn't then that's a big freaking problem. He was animated for sure but he was also very specific in how he spoke as well. He didn't deny there is NIL but he also made it clear where the lines are and that A&M isn't crossing them.

The other factor is he is just pissed that the implication is A&M just put out a sack of money and suddenly all of these recruits came on board. He and his staff have been talking to many of these guys for years and spent countless hours recruiting them. It pissed him off.

What did anyone say about his wife and kids? Or even his players? The accusations are about Jimbo and how he is running his program. He gave Kiffin the exact reaction that he was looking for.

Mike Gundy was directly defending his player, which would fit your analogy. Jimbo was being a triggered little bitch, which fits your school’s brand.

If you guys really believe we spent 30 million, or better yet, that another 8-4 season will get him fired, or that he won’t have a top 5 recruiting class, then I don’t know what to tell you, others schools would pray for all that to happen so A&M remains the status quo, but not LSU, they want Fisher fired for some unknown reason and think they can accomplish that on internet messenge boards, it’s kinda sad the man hours you guys put into it
