re: The Texas Fighting Aggie Basketball Thread | Tourney Time
Posted by Texas Gentleman on 3/25/24 at 10:42 am
Coming from a non basketball fan who mainly just watches the conference tournament and the NCAA tournament, it does seem like the fanbase is much happier with him today than a few weeks ago. No doubt he’s now here next year. Best phrase I saw somewhere is “Buzz’s teams here have been consistently in...

Gotta hand it to Buzz, team looks good right now. Got them playing well at the right time. Looks like his seat has cooled off some. ...

King George is indeed headed to Kyle Field this summer, as the earlier rumors indicated. Hoping I can score some tickets, we aren’t 12th man foundation donors who get first crack at seats. ...
re: Per 247 Vandy Website, Vandy Pays Stackhouse $26 million! LOL
Posted by Texas Gentleman on 3/18/24 at 1:06 pm
As an A&M fan, we are experts in bad contract buyouts. So, I can in fact confirm, that’s a really bad buyout for Vandy to have to pay. $26 mil buyout for a guy that never made the tournament? Ouch....

[quote]I don't understand why it was only 9 episodes. There should've been a training episode like BOB had because in Crosby's book the 100th was an absolute shite show before they were finally allowed to deploy.[/quote]
Saw somewhere else that they ran over budget by quite a bit, the series was s...
re: Bjork is top target for Ohio St. AD
Posted by Texas Gentleman on 3/13/24 at 2:03 pm
I’m over here laughing at some posts someone on TA Premium dug up from years ago. Just like when Gabe Bock ran down Jimbo over the crab legs fiasco, and then got called out when we hired him, liucci didn’t have a good opinion of Alberts. Difference is Bock was posting to twitter publicly and these l...
re: Vatican Museums: Guided Tour or Self-Guided Audio Tour
Posted by Texas Gentleman on 3/6/24 at 9:24 am
Would recommend a guided tour, get someone that’s highly knowledgeable about all of it and you’ll be amazed at how much you’d have missed otherwise. Was really glad we got a guide when we went. ...
re: ESPN Article: Now We Know Why Saban Retired...
Posted by Texas Gentleman on 3/6/24 at 9:08 am
Saban was famous for complaining about changes, but then adapting to them and mastering them, no doubt a big part of the success he had over the years.
Sounds like NIL was finally one change he didn’t like and wasn’t going to adapt to. And I don’t blame him, ride off into the sunset and enjoy yo...

2022 App St, no question. Never seen such an inept performance by our offense, it was ugly to watch.
2013 Auburn. Missed horse collar tackle on Johnny that would’ve very likely put A&M in position to score and win the game....
re: State of A&M Football
Posted by Texas Gentleman on 2/29/24 at 7:18 am
I will say, I have to give Elko a solid A grade on how he’s done so far. Went to the portal and filled holes on the roster, avoided desperation moves like bringing back Denver Harris, did a good job on the recruiting class considering the transition and held on to Bussey. Hired a good staff around h...
re: Buzz Williams is overrated gents
Posted by Texas Gentleman on 2/29/24 at 7:08 am
[quote]For what he is paid[/quote]
Way too much, no arguments there.
[quote] and resources at his disposal[/quote]
A&M actually doesn’t fund basketball at a high level outside of the HC salary. We aren’t big spenders, look at how old Reed Arena is at this point.

re: Portal Comings and Goings
Posted by Texas Gentleman on 2/27/24 at 6:00 pm
Cornerback Sam McCall to the portal now too. We were his second stop so I guess that shouldn’t be too surprising.
I really believe this portal will end up hurting players more than they realize, for every Jaylen Daniels, there’s 10 guys who transfer and still won’t get much more playing time. I ...

re: Hey Aggie, Tell us about Jacoby Matthews.
Posted by Texas Gentleman on 2/26/24 at 8:24 am
Seems like a lot people think it’s more of an NIL play, maybe just looking for a better deal and we can get him back in the fold. He was a decent player with solid stats for his position.
I’m not sure I buy the “he can’t handle the workouts” line. In every coaching change across the country we he...
re: Most underrated player in your team's history
Posted by Texas Gentleman on 2/23/24 at 5:01 pm
Ryan Swope, was always overshadowed by Mike Evans and part of a really good receiving group in general. Plus Manziel mania, you didn’t see his name mentioned as much.
Dude was always good for a critical catch. Got drafted in the 6th round I think but had to retire due to concussions without ever ...

Wait, other schools actually want Buzz after how he’s performed at A&M so far? Be our guest, Bjork should still have his phone number saved, tell him to give Buzz a ring please....
