Well that’s dumb. They’re pretty fricking rich in a talent rich state. Whether the giant ever wakes up is another story but they’re kind of the textbook example of a sleeping giant

Let's see who A&M hires first before saying this, okay?

They certainly are. Investors can only be burned so much though. They’ll need to host a few more hundred concerts before they’re ready to strike again.

They’re more like a morbidly obese giant that’s brain dead and in a coma with no chance of waking up

Maybe they’re just eternally punch drunk and actually never been to sleep yet to be woken, which they seem to all be comfortable with.

They are a sleeping giant. But that giant has special needs and doesn’t scare anyone.

I don't know if they're a sleeping giant but they do have nearly unlimited resources.

The reality is that so do many other SEC teams, including Texas. What limits those teams have on spending are largely self imposed, many have ridiculous sums of money and nobody is pushing spending to the point that UGA, Bama, LSU, Tennessee or anyone else couldn't follow suit if they want.

Some schools act like spend-thrifts (I've heard UF is in that boat currently), but that's not due to resources, it's due to choices to not spend.

This is not true or they wouldn’t lose coaches and ADs they like to other conference programs.

I’m not saying they don’t have resources, but not unlimited nor significantly more than others.

I mean, do you not learn your lesson with the Jimbo Fisher contract? I would say that Schloss is a more consistently good coach than Fisher, but I don’t think any coach is worth selling your soul over, especially one willing to play as dirty as Schloss. Let that fricker walk. Trash gravitates toward trash. He will get what’s coming to him eventually.

I think Schloss, Johnson and others have shown college baseball is a sport where a program can do a 180 within a couple years. Schloss went to Omaha year 1&3, Johnson won it all in year 2. With the right coaches and a right financial commitment a program can be turned around in a couple years. No need to make a deal with the devil.

Dumb. You can change your opinion of someone based on their actions.

You can be married to a woman, but then then today find out a she’s a cheating, gold digging whore.

Subway thought Jared was a good spokesperson, turned out he was a pedophile.

Also, don’t put words in my mouth. I don’t “love” any coaches or players in sports. Thay are all hired mercenaries.

Bjork they didn’t like, but they really liked Woodward who left for LSU. They also lost a basketball coach to Kentucky that was doing well. They also couldn’t pouch Aranda from LSU.

I’m sure they have won some, but “unlimited” resources is a lie.

He did to you the same thing that he did to TCU.

But you loved him yesterday.

Now he's trash.

You have a very unusual username!
Texas A&M had Bobby Petrino and Jimbo Fisher. That was way before you knew they were going to be together, one as an OC and the other as the HC.
