re: The biggest complaint about your program?

The fact that we pay someone a lot of money to coach women's basketball. Absolutely stupid, IMO.

My jizz jar running on empty after this year.

And our basketball arena - Reed - is flat out terrible considering it was built in the late 90s. And a natural extension, our basketball program sucks donkey balls.

The Corps Block. In the late '90s the admin made the decision to seat the entire Corps together instead of letting them pull seats like normal students and be spread throughout the stands. Bad for two reasons 1) The cameras focus in the Corps block and give TV viewers the impression that we're some kind of second-rate brokeback service academy when the Corps is really only a small percentage of the student body. This damages our nation perception and hurts recruiting. 2) It further alienates the Corps from the other students. They hate each other anyway and Coprs Block isn't helping them to interact or understand one another.

As an outsider this appears true. When I see a a&m game they never show the semi normal a&m fans its always the corp block. It has the feeling of them locking you all up in camps one day.


As far as LSU football: our up and down play to level of competition. Stud being on our staff, he is fat and over paid.

basketball: none right now, we are recruiting well and we are coming along at a nice pace.

baseball: I feel good for now, I was disappointed last year in omaha with the effort but it is what it is.

1. dumb fanbase - you really don't know until you've listened to local radio after a loss

2. the obsession a good chunk of our fanbase has over Gus. its gross and creepy.

Agreed on both counts.

Maybe I'm just being myopic, but our fans seem dumber than most, though Bama fans had me second guessing that after the Iron Bowl. Heck, the sheer stupidity of some of the names and ideas people were throwing out during our 2012 coaching search really threw back the curtain on how dumb we really were (Gruden, Petrino getting rehired, Barry Switzer, Jimmy Johnson, Ken Hatfield, BROYLES, litany of NFL coaches, high school coaches, co-head coaches to run offense and defense, and a who's who of washouts like Mike Sherman and Jackie Sherrill and Phil Fulmer, etc).

On the second callout, perhaps this happens with other fan bases, but our fans always seem to obsess over and long for someone who isn't our coach. During the Petrino years, there was always a sect of fans who rooted for Nutt and openly wished he was still our coach. During the JLS year, we had a large group who cried over Petrino like he was an old high school girlfriend. This year, a lot of fans pined for Gus, though that's been going on for years. I'm sure the minute Bert leaves or is fired and we hire a decent replacement, we'll have a collection of people who worship Bielema instead of supporting our new coach. Hell, we still complain about Jimmy Johnson getting passed over and lament Hatfield bolting for Clemson. We're an odd group.

Right now: Aggies who want A&M to resemble every other university and abolish the Corps, get rid of yell leaders and replace them with cheerleaders, come up with improptu chants instead of the coordinated yells, and get a fuzzy cartoon mascot for the sidelines; they somehow think this will have some effect on recruiting and/or keep the mean ol rival fans from picking on them at work.

Future: Rick Perry.

Biggest complaint is the lack of tailgating.

Back when I was in undergrad, we had Reactor Field to tailgate-- but the admins put a stop to it.
