re: This board is so much better than TexAgs

I've gotten very bored with TA over the last few months. After the SEC move died down, there really isn't much that interests me over there, especially on the boards. I'm thinking of cancelling my sub.

To a fresh start on a different board.

I like TA, but not the attitude that it's a privilege to subscribe there. They can treat their consumers poorly.
The worst, and I mean the WORST, is the arse sniffing army that is ready to jump on anyone that question one of the anointed posters or staff.
The content is far and beyond the best out there, though.
People bitch about posting useless threads.
Jickyjack posts stupid shite on purpose (I'm convinced he is on xanax all the time or some shite like that)
Said posters who bitched about posting useless threads laugh and kiss arse.
Posters who call out the uselessness of the thread get attacked by jickyjack lovers.
Vicious cycle. Group think.
People comment on how well Showers looked when he played.
You get attacked for being a Showers lover and get attacked because you want Showers to start.....
What the hell is wrong with complementing the play of a player? We are all on the same team here, geez. It always has to be Camp A vs. Camp B.
Just too many freaking sensitive people over there. Everything you post gets overanalyzed and it all ends up turning into a witchhunt.

Texags has become unreadable over the last 2 or 3 years. When you have that many people on one board, it develops a mob mentality devoid of reason.

I think it is more annoying to listen to people bash Texags than anything that happens on Texags. Texags is what it is, a massive site that has a ton of Aggies on it. The great thing about Texags is it is segregated into so many different boards and levels and tags. That is also one of the worst things about it. If I were a casual fan and went to A&M Football there I would hate it, much less the 2 Rivalry boards. The Premium Board has incredible content and occasionally some great threads but it's cluttered as well. The Varsity Board is great but expensive and by design it's pretty exclusive. The problem is that over time the best posters have gone away from the main boards to the premium boards and left it to become The Zoo and The Zoo 2.0.
Mainly I'd rather just keep Texags where it is and have a different discussion here. Let it develop into something on its own. I've become more and more attracted to The Rant because it reminds me of where Texags came from ironically, a board called GoBig12. Unfortunately that board became overrun with sips and smack talk and became unreadable, it was early internet days in the mid '90s.

It has it's flaws for sure, but you are right, Luicci provides the best content out there. They have really added value with the radio show (outstanding show) and from a video standpoint too, and much more.
I was just pointing out some of the irony of the board police over there. I'm all for establishing our own identity here. I got banned from TA for good so I guess it's a non issue for me. Il stop "bashing" it.

It's pretty good, especially the new non-recruting stuff now that they've partnered with the 12th Man Foundation.

Meh. Hearing Leone say some guy "brings it every day" 1000 times over and over again was a little much. Gabe is good enough though by himself, even though his homerism is probably the most hyperbolic I've seen, he's still a good guy and throws in some decent points every now and then. Austin Meek should have be on more. That guy cracks me up.

We already have. We the best.

I think Gabe does a great job, and his homerism doesn't bother me a bit. It's a show by Aggies, and (for the most part) FOR Aggies--it's nice to have guys prop up A&M as much as they can, especially given how historically we've been ignored by and large by the media. Not that I want constant sunshine pumping, but I do tune in to see A&M put in a positive light.
And agreed on Austin Meek. Dude's hilarious

Looch is a doucher. Texags is the biggest source of A&M embarrassment on the net IMO.

Yes, if only Looch could be a class act like Ketch or Chip Brown.

He's only a small measure away from doing just that.

Yes he does. Reading his Q&A's from posters is so ridiculous...
