You depending on it is not the same thing as it depending on you.

Besides, show me the $17.5 billion in oil-land assets LSU has under ownership.

I will admit LSU has lots of grads working in O&G. They are good soldiers for their leaders in Texas.

I still don't see how or why Jimbo would take the A&m job. It just doesn't compute. If he takes it I'll eat my words but it just doesn't quite feel right or make logistical sense. Just saying us LSU fans know the song and dance very well with the "sauces" so I kind of became a skeptic after that.


That is because you have a warped view of Texas A&M. You cannot get over your bias and don't place value the same places coaches do.

Texas is more like Mexico than it is the US. Those people living there who don’t speak Spanish are worthless Rednecks.

Most will agree...an LSU PETE grad vs Aggie will pay more dividends, what with the gayness, delusion, and everything else that comes with hiring a weirdo freak.

Lets not pretend we're all not bias in this discussion.

Jimbo’s recruiting ability alone makes him worth the money.


So more skill players unable to run or catch the ball bc there is no OL to block for them?

Well, I won't even argue the ridiculousness of the comparison. Pretty sure there are mountains of stats on the issue.

It's the premise of your position that is the real laugher. The A&M grads are the ones doing the hiring.

You really need to just stop this whole line. LSU is not a bad school for PETE in particular, or Engineering in general. It's just not anywhere near the school A&M is.
