Trying to join the women in being national title contenders. The #1 players from Arizona State, Auburn and UNLV all joining A&M from the portal.

Added to a roster that will return its top 4 players. A&M going all out next year with a big budget in tennis.

NGL if they care about men’s tennis being one of the best sounds like the right direction

Can’t really talk smack if they are paying


EDIT: Missed opportunity about aTm and fuzzy balls…

Because overspending in the portal has worked out well for them in the past

Oil money bro

Hmm. Had no idea.

The women have been carrying the torch for the AD by winning all the championships we have lately.

It hasnt. They had a pretty expensive roster this year and crashed out in the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament. Got dominated by Stanford on their own courts.

Next year they must do better than that with the investment

Does ESPN get off their tails to even show NCAA tennis? Im ignorant on the subject so no jokes. We have women’s rifle teams. Which I just found out.

I hate to show my age but I don’t give women guns. Seems like a bad idea. I give my wife enough reasons to shoot me weekly.

Non-revenue sport.
Nobody cares about Tennis.
What relevant sport has A&M won lately?
All that money and nothing to show for it.
Print the cups.
Where are the shirts?
Another underperforming sport.

You damn right I was, it was me. These are some of the replies from SEC fans when a team wins a national championship that's not football. They all act like they don't care, but they all compete in these sports. A few schools and fans actually care about all their teams and all sports. Most act like they don't care because it's F'ing difficult to win any sport which so many compete in.
Just a bunch of hypocrisy, so I thought I'd sprinkle some of it in reply to OP. Look at the replies and you'll see some that are on my list, and this isn't a NC posting thread.

I know OP wasn't posting about a NC, but just that A&M is making an effort will upset the losers that can't compete in so many different sports, they just participate.

Please tell me about all of the big sports championships Texas has won over the last 2 decades.... you know... since we are talking big money, spending, your own sports network and the revenues associated with it... and all that shite.

Look forward to hearing about those big 3 sports championships. I suppose that list is incoming pretty soon.

We have sucked out loud there no questions asked.

Men’s tennis is at least more significant than women’s softball. But not nearly the level of women’s volleyball.

NGL this is fun to do on Madden but kind've lame in real life.

We know it's not some championship program aura, not some legendary, must-hear coaching mystique etc. that's drawing the talent, it's just money and thats boring.

Best of luck A&M, but even in tennis, this being the new normal is a sour pill to swallow
