I don't know much about Shakespeare...

But from the classes I took in native American history...

It is more likely that the burial ground would either be Tonkawa or Caddo.

Starting to think so...

Coach Bryant leaving for Alabama gets leaked, feels that cost his boys at A&M a national championship.

Goes on to win 6 national titles at Alabama, one of (if not the) greatest coaches in the history of college football.

Gene Stallings, originally coaching at A&M (best season there ends 7-4 with a Cotton Bowl win, overall losing record), ends up at Alabama and wins a National Title with an impressive 70-16-1 record in Tuscaloosa.

A&M steals Fran after his second season at Alabama (a 10-3 season), never reaches 10 wins at A&M and is coach for the worst beatdown of an A&M team in modern history (77-0).


That's just football and Alabama. I mean, hell, they managed to beat Alabama in 2012 in route to Manziel winning a Heisman... and still had to watch Alabama win a National Title (thanks LSU!).

Should also note that said Heisman winner ended up a huge NFL bust and basically an after school special on how NOT to handle success.

The Apaches are an Arizona tribe.

I believe there was an offshoot of the Mexican Kickapoo down in that area of Brazos County, actually. The Lickapoo.

Care to place a small six-figure wager on that. For your information I don't have a sister. That was your sister giving me the hawt tuah to clean me after I banged your mama. Btw they both said mine is way bigger.

Aggie athletics is a Shakespearean tragedy.
Not Apache. And definitely not an ancient burial ground. There was nothing there until 1860 when a railroad came "through the region."

A tragedy, yes. Not Shakespearean. Perhaps the Off-Broadway equivalent.

You didn’t just lose a coach to another university.

Does Saban from LSU to Alabama ring a bell?

Did Schloss leave to manage the Yankees, realize it wasn’t for him, and the ask back at A&M who had to politely say no because they’d already hired a future NC winning coach?

We weren’t cursed like you, just had Saban want to test the waters in the big boy league only to find out his spot at the LSU had been replaced
