I guess you're counting on the NCAA turning a blind eye. Good luck.

When Saban and chubbs own their pre-NIL cheating, Jimbo can own his post-NIL cheating. Until then, nobody should care. Let the programs that cheated so bad before the grey area be the ones crying about cheating in the sport they killed. Same people that cried about Cam, one guy.

Did y’all do this shite when Kirby signed his first really amazing class? Why is that different?


It’s different because it wasn’t after an 8-5 season.

Anyone who actually believes that these guys chose the Aggies because of Jimbo’s winning personality is a special kind stupid.

Okay. I’m tired of this. You win. You’re right. We spent 30M on recruits and next year it will be 50M. We will do it every year bigger and better than you because we can and you can’t.

And we will continue to pay more than you through every loophole available until the end of time.

You’re doomed. I agree.

So essentially your entire argument is A&M isn't supposed to recruit this well because you don't think we should be able to. Forget all of things Aggie fans have been talking about for years here in regards to resources, facilities, largest stadium in the SEC, largest school in the SEC, having a NC winning coach that has consistently recruiting at an elite level his entire career, multiple assistant coaches that are elite national recruiters, winning the Orange Bowl and finishing #4, beating Bama last year. On and on and on.


This is all well and good, but the question remains: WHY NOW, SUDDENLY?

You're not understanding the point here. Those facets you listed were in place last year, the year before, the year before, etc. This isn't Jimbo's first class.

So tell us what changed between the last few years and now? Other than another disappointing 8-4 season.

The NCAA won’t touch us. I am certain we are within compliance. Now they will likely change the rules, but as the rules exist today, we complied.

Why? I asked the same question when I wondered how A&M could change its vote to allow Texas and OU in the SEC. I suspect that there has been a cosmic shift in alliances in the SEC behind the scenes.

I suspect Texas, A&M and OU are all now watching each other’s back at the highest levels. Maybe Arkansas too.

Just a theory, but it’s mighty coincidental that A&M had its arch rival allowed in and both Texas and A&M both have top 5 classes after both had awful seasons.

It’s almost like they read each other’s playbook.

Lol

I’m sure you’ll give Texas all the credit when they sign #1 class and 8 5 stars Bc of their winning Tradition.

I’ll worry when their “winning tradition” can beat Kansas and Maryland.

Lol you don’t know shite!

The only thing you’re involved in is making a Hobos Dick Cheese sandwich.

You have no idea what was compliment. But going off Jimbo’s press conference melt and mentioning other teams cheating, shows he’s nervous about the SMU level class.

Their winning tradition carries as much weight as “12th man” going 8-4

Maybe you should care about their “winning tradition”
Texas leads, 76–37–5

Jimbo is a steaming pile of dog shite and A&M is the most pathetic sports program in the nation.

There was nothing sudden about it. This has been coming all year it's just every time it was brought up or why it was happening folks here just denied it because Aggy. Brief summary:

Finish last year #4 with Orange Bowl win

Pool Party over the Summer loaded with 5 Stars, most of which are the guys who signed.

Bet big on the Bama weekend and got all the big recruits on campus for a perfect showcase game.

Bobby Taylor and Walter Nolen both turned into recruiting monsters after committing, constantly reaching out to recruits on social.

Huge year for Texas recruiting, especially in Houston where A&M has the deepest roots.

OU and LSU both had coaching changes that cost them each at least a couple of recruits. Texas had a dumpster fire season. Those 3 schools are our primary competitors for talent traditionally. Thus it became A&M competing with UGA and Bama for a lot of recruits.

Florida schools all bad this year leaving an opening.

Ohio State looked terrible with the Quinn Ewers thing to Texas recruits. Got the kid to reclassify and went up to Ohio only to transfer before the season was over.

I could go on. You can certainly dismiss this or that but it's the cumulative effect along with the other building blocks A&M has been putting in place. If you think it happened suddenly that's only because you haven't been paying attention or you bought the line that A&M can't win or sucks or whatever.

It’s not worth arguing with jealousy. They need to quit crying, step up or get out of the way and get use to it.
