At least daddy Texas can admit how much they spend on recruits.

Let's think this one through. You are a 5* recruit and can play anywhere in the country.

Is location your priority? College Station, Texas has to be in the bottom quarter of the Power 5 schools. In fact, I can only think of a handful that are clearly worse (Lubbock and Stillwater come to mind).

In it for the party? Again, College Station doesn't have a great reputation here. It might beat out a few religious and military schools.

Does a proud, winning tradition appeal to you? Not sure ol' 8-4, 1939 A&M is pulling kids away from Alabama and Saban on this front, or even from mid-tier P5 programs.

What about the academics? No 5* recruit gives a rat's arse about this, just kidding.

And if playing in a premier conference is important to you, why pick a team that has never finished higher than third in its own division? Any Big 6 schools plus OU are clearly better options.

How about elite coaching? Well, there are at least three superior coaches in A&M's own division, let alone in the rest of the CFB landscape.

So what's left here that's attracting these kids to College Station? Hmmm.

It cracks me up you guys in your hearts believe they will transfer to LSU, Mizzou, Arkansas, Ole Miss bc they want to “win” championships lmao what weird fantasies

Well one of those teams has 4 national championships and multiple SEC championships unlike aTm so yea I think it’s a fair assumption they would go to LSU for titles. The only fantasy is yours that y’all would actually be good lol

Historically speaking, women can distract men and cause them to stumble and fall. Adam & Eve, David & Bathsheba, Sampson & Delilah, Bill & Monica, Petrino, Urban etc etc etc. At aggy, you don’t have to worry about that, you can strictly concentrate on football without any female distractions.

Are you sure anyone wants these players? If they were stupid enough to sign with the Ags I’m not convinced that they are smart enough to play for my school
