Texas is probably one of the few programs that actually makes money in Baseball..
LSU probably does too..

you don't understand 'sip much, do you? we Ags are really going to enjoy the slow melts of fellow SEC members that let this trash in.
A&M has the resources to deal with it- we'll be just fine, but i see a real shift West in the SEC power base over the next few years, including maybe Arkansas.
Why don't you explain it to me. Who have they broken the bank to get with their recent coaching hires? Pierce's salary would rank 10th among active SEC coaches. Just because they are your rival and you have made up your minds that they are the Big Bad Wolf who's just out to money whip their competition instead of making reasonable financial hires doesn't make it so.
If anything, A&M has proven itself to be far more reckless spending money than Texas has.

those were pretty much no brainers. great hires i.m.o. are the ones that arent obvious but turn out fantastic.
Schloss to A&M was an obvious. it was "great" for A&M but not some huge feather in our AD's cap- just the obvious.

I was responding to this comment..

Y'all probably hire someone who made the same kind of splash as Pierce and Sark. I see you swiping a mid to upper level ACC school - a guy like UVA or Wake's coach.
you made my point for me..
they weren’t splash hires
they were no brainers..
Vitello does indeed fit into that category.. as do some others

If this happens does Texas lose the UT-a and take the ‘UT’ initials permanently away from UT-k to make them little brother???

Then why did A&M never win your conference the last time yall were together?
Texas coming to the SEC will hurt A&M the most and y’all know it. That’s why yall ran from them once

Watching Texas continuously spend all of this money only to continue losing is one of my biggest joys of watching college sports.

So, if Vitello goes to Tejas… does that mean UTk’s basevol will stop being the team loaded with arrogance and d-bags?

No, we spend too much NIL money on them to change now.

We don't really spend any more money than the top half of the SEC. We just have a lot more.

Why would mighty Texas baseball stoop so low in hiring a head coach from a natty-less baseball program like Tennessee?
I thought Texas was a premier baseball job. That hire would not make sense at all for a blue blood like mighty Texas baseball

I'm not even sure Augie made $1 million / year in 2002, so if this were true, then less than 2 dozen years later Texas would be hiring a guy with 1 career win in Omaha (so far) for over three times the amount? Crazy times
Most good football coaches were only making around 1 million in 2002. Spurrier became the first 1 million coach in 1996.

That ship sailed with Pierce.

Yea but mighty Texas baseball only attracts and hires the best of the best.
Why on Earth would mighty Texas baseball target an average coach like Vitello who has not even won a natty himself yet as a head coach? Makes no sense!

Because Texas has more support and resources to help Vitello get over the hump.

It may very well be the end of Pierce in Austin, however not sure why that would concern our natty-less head baseball coach.
Texas baseball is as blue blood of a job as it gets in this sport, the idea they would settle for a head coach that hasn’t even won a natty himself yet like Vitello is laughable!

Even though the OP is full of shite, I’ll play along with you..
You have a great coach. Is that the only validation you need today or do you also need a hug?
