Sorry we don't have a commemorative cups to distract us from the real world.

Funny. I never even heard of the cups until I went to Baton Rouge for the game this past season. You guys would not shut up about it.

I can't imagine ever being triggered by a stupid cup.

Associate AD for football personnel. I'm not sure if he had any coaching duties.

I didn't say that at all. I was saying that I was not aware of the cups until I heard from LSU fans in Baton Rouge.

Reading comprehension must be hard if you're from Louisiana.

He is getting a major promotion, but I'm not sure he'll be easy to replace. He is good at what he does.

Thomas has spent the past two seasons as the Aggies’ associate AD for football personnel. We’re told his title at Baylor will be general manager of football operations.


This is like making fun of LSU because Baylor hired the LSU DC as the new Baylor head coach.

"Baylor taking who they want! Ha! Baylor more prestigious than LSU."

Pretty juvenile, really.

I'm happy for Austin Thomas, just like LSU was happy for Aranda.

I’ve heard his name forever but what exactly does he do?

As I understand it, he organizes all things recruiting. He wasn't the GM at A&M, so he wasn't in charge of all invites and communications and events, but he was up there. My understanding is that he is a very, very good organizer for recruiting.
