I bet I can name who ra'd him

The negative Aggies absolutely hate anything positive being said about A&M these days, it was a brutal offseason

Sorry, DBU.

I was getting tore up on these boards about my assessments of the A&M roster. I also shared my assessments of the OU team and Stoops and got beat up.

It wasn't an opinion. I was just looking at the size, weight, and speed of our athletes and comparing them to the past rosters, just as I would expect my former analysts to do (though I am not an analyst myself).

I thought Aggies would be excited to see we were moving in the right direction and that there were indicators like the "Blue Chip ratio" and 247's Team Talent out there that do not reflect most A&M fan's opinions on this board. Again...not my opinions. I am just pointing out information that is available to you to help people better formulate their own opinions.

I've worked with Bama athletes from other sports outside of football and they have informed me on how they believe that programs works and it is very "eye opening". The assessment of Sarkisian is just based on past information known about Saban and understanding how long the hiring process takes for new employees. There is no doubt in my mind that Sarkisian was assisting the staff and that it is likely that those assessments of USC were good enough to land him the job this week.

Some of us enjoy your glass half full conversation and agree with you

But just walk away when the negative Nancy's dig their teeth in, it's just not worth it. Too much BAS still exists

I get what you're saying, but it would not surprise me in the least bit if Kiffin told Saban he may look for a HC after this year and Sark would be a great replacement and continue the same offense at the same level of play.

Why not get a jump start on getting Sark into the program?

But that is a topic for another board.

Dude a lot of us get picked on a little on this forum. Roger likes asscrack, finest is out of touch and proud, I write way too fricking much in my posts, CGSC is Count Chocula, Etc. It is usually a form on endearment among men (i.e. Most of this forum).

You are the paranoid conspiracy theory guy. Own it or self evaluate (I try not to write as much for example).

So what? USC should have done a better job with Sark's separation agreement.

I will try to be thicker skinned.

Btw... Bama posters are saying on some threads about the Sarkisian hire that they heard today that Sarkisian did work with the team last week preparing for USC.

Okay, thanks. I've got to say I've never seen a Chill post that was anywhere close to being worthy of reporting. Maybe some others need to check their skin.

RA means Request Admin. There are many reasons to do this. You think a thread should be stickied or anchored. It's a duplicate thread. You believe a poster to be an alter. Or the post itself is inappropriate.

For the most part, we take a pretty lax attitude towards moderation on this board. But it's a new season and there are always new posters so it's good to properly understand what is and isn't okay. Disagreement is bueno. Personal attacks are not.

I'm not looking to bag on Chill. But imo the post in this thread absolutely deserved to be RA'd. Chill apologized and we move on. Not a big deal. As long as we have that sort of understanding, we're all good.

and since I'm on the topic of moderation, guys please don't RA because someone razzed you a bit. There's going to happen and nobody wants to weed thru that.

If you have tender sensibilities, send an email to Kaiser and he'll be happy to help you thru your feelings in his innate calm and soothing manner.
