- There is nothing better than watching all the surrender cobras after another longhorn choke job
- There is nothing better than watching longhorn players throw a tantrum on the field
- There is nothing better than knowing the “Meltdown” quotes will be littered with profanity from those tshirt sip fans

And there is absolutely nothing better than watching someone such as yourself attempt to justify it all. Texas is an embarrassment, and so are those that defend their antics. The world is just a much brighter place when the sips lose …
Lol wow this literally proves exactly what I wrote above:

Most aggies are more enamored with Texas losing than their own team winning
Jimbo lost 9 games in his first two years but he's the second coming of Christ on your campus and the single-greatest thing to ever happen to College Station seemed like there was a lot of justification on your campus during the 2018 and 2019 season, but I digress.

Love that you're spending so much time thinking about us, though. LSU fan asks Texas fans what they think of the hire and you just can't get enough in this thread. I guess that rejection letter really does strike a nerve this day to your core I mean... I would hate to have such a horrific record to an "embarrassment"

If you spent any time on the A&M board you would know that I don’t think Fisher is the second coming. He is a football coach - overpaid but good nonetheless. His teams work hard, and tend to improve as the year goes on.

Maybe he will win a title, but maybe not. As for you and the sip fan base, I love to laugh at entitled people that fall on their face. A lot of them simply wear burnt orange. It’s that cesspool of a city you like to call home.


But you shouldn’t have to worry about tshirt fans and filling out the stadium any longer - they’ve all migrated south to San Antonio these days.

Lol you say this as if aggies haven't been doing it (in every single sport) for the past 82 years talk about entitlement and lack of self-awareness

It just aches you so much that some people were actually smart enough to get into Texas while you weren't. And we get it, it's a "cesspool". Just be honest and tell us you can't afford it instead of coming up with the same tropes and making up desperate stories like Mack and Sally Brown tucking you in bed on Christmas Eve night

You’re a LSU fan. Right?

Texas fans could say the exact same thing about LSU.

Here’s what one sad horn thinks

Not only that but we have sucked during the great rise of social media....there's nowhere to hide the suck. Used to be very few saw your suck. Even in the heydey of ESPN in the late 90s-early aughts if you went unranked the coverage of your suck was meager to non-existent. Now you can be unranked, have a losing record, whatever and there are still thousands of clips of the suck, thoughts on the suck, hot takes on the suck, memes on the suck, suck suck suck....just ****ing everywhere. We picked the absolute worst decade to suck because now more than ever once that foot gets on your throat it's damn near impossible to get it off.

They picked the worst decade?

That might be false optimism. Decades is more likely for them. I read somewhere they have had four or more losses every season since 2009.

Not only that, but there’s only been one 10 year stretch Since 1978 where they have not averaged four or more losses

Mack Brown’s tenure is an anomaly.

While true, this shouldn't have been much of a rebuild if a rebuild at all. Texas wasn't that bad under Herman and recruited well.

Their recruiting rankings the past 4 years have been:
2021: #15 (2nd in Big 12)
2020: #8 (1st in Big 12)
2019: #3 (1st in Big 12)
2018: #3 (1st in Big 12)

They're still 2nd in the Big 12 in the overall talent composite. With that much talent, there's no reason Sark should be 4-4 overall and 2-3 in the Big 12

Sarkisian is simply proving my theory that nobody can win in Austin these days. The football program is a cesspool, the boosters are worse, and the tshirt fans are fickle. They are all Roadrunners now

You've only had less than 4 losses twice in the last 22 years

But we don’t claim to be a blue blood and we don’t pretend that that’s not normal. However you guys live in a magical world were you pretend that 4 losses per year is not your true average historically when in reality it is with very few exceptions

And, right now, they are doing it in a comparatively weak conference. With that alleged "blue blood" status and a conference schedule full of basketball programs, it should be near impossible to find 4 losses on the calendar.

A&M played 4 FCS teams in Sumlin's first four seasons. 2 in 2012 and 0 in 2015.

You play Kansas every year. A team that has 4 conference wins since Mangino left (one of whom was you)

Baylor Baptist winning 6 of the last 12 vs longhorns is such an embarrassment

Our program has been a disaster for 12 years and we still have more P5 wins than y'all

Well, if we had to play an extra conference game each year and got the benefit of lining up against “power 5” heavy weights like Kansas each year maybe we’d have a few more….

SEC schedule speaks for itself, I’d much rather have the 90 wins over the last 10 years compared to the 77 y’all have (good for 5th place in the state) from the other infographic they showed on ESPN. Ouch.

Think our DC hire is/was an abject failure. I think it's clear we thought Muschamp was coming based of the hires we made on the defensive side before even naming our coordinator. It's crazy because on paper most thought the assistant hires on defense were home runs despite not getting Muschamp.

We need to play complimentary ball, and with such an aggressive offense this 'bend but don't break' defense is going to be on the field for the vast majority of the game and our depth/players aren't built for it.

Sark has some runway left, but I think it's safe to say the honeymoon is over. Let's see what he does with the portal, closing out this recruiting class, and (any) changes he makes to the staff. If he does nothing, we could be looking at Strong 2.0 when he refused to fire Watson as OC after year 1.

And let me get ahead of your next comment

2012-2020 SOS Rankings:

Texas: 8, 14, 25, 25, 36, 17, 12, 17, 15, Avg: 18.7
A&M: 3, 19, 12, 18, 19, 41, 5, 11, 8, Avg: 15.1

So we have a better winning % against the P5, while playing tougher schedules.

Lol based on your internet presence (which is what you're basing our fanbase off of), that is categorically false.

Pretty sure we live in the same one y'all do, which has seen you finish with 4+ losses in all but 2 seasons in the last 2+ decades, and the same world that has seen you accumulate a losing record to Texas in your own home stadium and an embarrassing head-to-head record in literally every sport that isn't women's soccer.
