Oh shite, prepare to get downvoted 17 times with no actual responses. A&M doesn’t like being pulled out of the fantasyland they create every offseason before they shite the bed

32 and 29 in normal years is not worth $2.5MM+ but ok

32 in 2018 was good enough for 7th in the SEC and 29 in 2019 was good enough for 8th in the SEC.

Betting on whether you'll field a top 10 national defense in ypg allowed is a really idoitic thing to bet on. A&M was #9 last year at 317 ypg. #15 averaged about 10 yards more per game allowed. Do you really want to put money on a spread like that? Maybe just say you think A&M will field a top 3 defense in the SEC again, which would be a really good defense.

Maybe your school wouldn’t be such an embarrassment if y’all actually waited to accomplish something before talking shite like this. Chavis was going to bring y’all to the promised land before the whole Sumlin house of cards collapsed. I wish I cared enough to bump a few offseason threads about how phenomenal the chief was

Y’all talked about him the same way you’re talking about Elko, with absolutely no stats to back up your delusional bullshite. Elko’s scoring defenses have been ranked 39, 49, 37 since the arrived at A&M. Hardly impressive or worthy of a “wager”, but sure, if A&M finishes outside of the top 10 in scoring defense (again, for the 20th+ season in a row), you’ll never post again. Thanks

Sometimes sidewalk I wonder if you ever leave the rant. He couldn't get his best assistant coaches paid and guys like Jeremy Pruitt walked. They were slow and cheap in building facilities that let them attract recruits. They were 3rd world compared to a place like LSU.

If it pisses off the LSU and UTa fans I'm good with it. We are rich - deal with it!



BTW ... We are the largest Power-5 school in the country -- Ohio State is #2.
We have more resources than Clemson -- and FSU still doesn't have an indoor practice field.

I think A&M branding needs to continually emphasize it's the oldest & largest public university in Texas,
to counter their "little brother" perception when compared with t.u

These excuses sound good, until you look at the facts.

Jimbo only had 3 defensive coordinators at Florida State, Mark Stoops, Jeremy Pruitt, and Charles Kelly.

Stoops left to become a head coach, nothing FSU could do there.

Pruitt left because of a prior connection with Mark Richt. He didn't even give FSU a chance to match the offer, per himself:

quote:

Pruitt, who was making $500,000 per year at Florida State, received a three-year deal at Georgia expected to be worth $850,000 annually. Pruitt said he will coach defensive backs at Georgia, as he did at Florida State.

Pruitt indicated he didn't wait for Florida State to match Georgia's offer.

"Me and coach Fisher are very good friends, but when I decided this was what I wanted to do, I let him know and that was it," Pruitt said.




Kelly was Florida State's defensive coordinator from 2014 until Jimbo left.

As for facilities, Jimbo was regularly bringing in top 5 classes at Florida State.

His average class at Florida State has been better than his average class at Texas A&M.

None of your statements really seem to hold water.

If y’all are so rich then why haven’t you been able to buy a championship in the last 80 years? You’d think that a program with unlimited money would be able to muster at least 1 natty since WWII

I’ll answer that question- there are two reasons: first, your shitty program doesn’t pull in more money than any of the Big 6 programs, and it’s actually significantly less. Congrats on the endowment though. Second, your school is filled with a bunch of gay losers and ugly women and y’all can’t recruit well enough to form and maintain a 2 deep. It’s never going to happen.

A&M isn’t even in the top 6 in athletic revenue in the SEC, you’re a bunch of brokedick wannabe losers as hard as y’all try to be “rich”

Cry bitch. A&M is only getting richer and richer every year as the pool of graduates grows. Deal with it

About what? The fact that LSU hasn’t had a year with less athletic revenue than A&M in the 2000’s? How will we ever recover. You’re the one crying and screaming about how “rich” your lame school is when half of the SEC is richer than Gay&M

I’ll never see them. No one cares, our facilities are and always will be better than yours- because we have more money to spend on them than you. Your school is gay and y’all have the 3rd fewest 10-win seasons in the SEC since 2000. Congrats on the endowment and “upgrades”. Go frick yourself

Now do football revenue. Good on your cult fanbase for wasting that much money on WBB though

How about you provide your source for "not even the top 6" because nothing I can find breaks down revenue by sport. But I imagine, 95% of all athletic revenue comes from football.
