The entire country doesn't care about college football, and a LOT of fanbases would still trade rosters, alumni support, stadium, gameday atmosphere, etc. with a&m.

We had an awful year.

We are stuck with Jimbo, and it sounds like he'll be making changes and moving to more of a CEO role. Will it work? Who knows.

Acceptance of a football program is easy. Accepting that you need the attention of random strangers on the internet is MUCH more difficult.

Good luck with it.

Kids grow up.
Parents grow old.

If you look at the coordinated effort of Longhorn media (a much more national reach than A&M has) to generate recruiting / NIL / and 'culture reset' momentum, it is VERY clear that the Longhorns are the ones 'scared' of joining.

They don't have the roster.

(high ranked classes with high attrition, will rely on freshmen and portal the next two years, and will enter the SEC with either one year of Worthy and no Bijan or without both. They will get 1 year of Ewers, after joining, and have a decade of waste along the O-Line, even though they have recruited well there.)

They don't have the coaches.

(Sark is a great coordinator, but is awful at in-game adjustments as a head coach. His record after losing at half speaks to that, as well as his overall record as a head coach. He will be moving into a stacked SEC, where not only the rosters are elite, but the coaching staffs as well. His DC is not good, and also not recruiting talent that fits his scheme. He is recruiting names / stars, which Texas has NEVER had trouble doing, and not pieces that actually fit what worked for him at UW.)


They don't have the fan support.


(They can't fill their stadium, but still expanded it. They have EXTREMELY fair-weather fans who will pack out for a new SEC schedule, until they lose 3+ and they will disappear. The SEC kids that they recruit will get to compare a 30% empty DKR in week 7 with a 95% full stadium on any other visit that they make in conference.)

Texas is a big fish drowning in a small pond.

They'll enjoy the new waters until the very first sign of adversity, and they'll panic fire/hire/recruit/booster their way into another decade of irrelevance.

Honest.

I can only imagine how sad your life is, if this is what you find the time to get worked up about.

It won't because the people looking at them will not have any sympathy to the cause because of the disrespect to the flag and country. It actually pisses those people off. Protest on your own time and not on the people who buy these tickets and consessions time.

It is quite literally their time.
I would say that every athlete knows the perception and repercussions of kneeling, and yet they still do.
Why?
Because their cause is that important to them.

So while you bitch from the stands and pound $5 beers and hotdogs, they are trying to make a difference.

Disagree with the method all you want, but the president speaking on this issue was the most validating thing that could have happened for Collin Kaepernick.

Is this not a blanket statement?
I'm a liberal.
Born in southern Cali, lived in Texas for 20 years, and raised by two career Marines. One is a liberal from North Carolina, the other a conservative from Texas.

People don't exist just to be grouped into some box based off what a telivision or computer screen tells you to think about them.

Anyone who falls victim to that line of thinking on EITHER SIDE is contributing to the problem, not the solution. Antifa have the same right to protest that the people of Charlottesville exercised. The second it turns violent, you have lost that right imo.

Point being, and this isn't directed at just you by any means, every thread on here, texags, twitter, Fox News, CNN, etc. turns into my "side" vs theirs. Mine can do no wrong, their side will never be right. Then we rinse and repeat depending on the station.

frick that.
Good people live in Berkeley.
Good people live in Charlottesville.
Idiots on the internet fight about things using their fricking thumbs.

I know we weren't listed in OP, but I see us upsetting UCLA.

Another hot start that might go nowhere, but I've liked what I've seen from the linebackers in camp this far. Might not be enough depth to get through an SEC schedule (read: could fall apart in OCT), but should easily be healthy enough to secure the middle against UCLA.

Ags would look good in both trenches against the Bruins, especially on the interior.

The days leading up to playing LSU.

Trayveon is special but Jim Turner is the key here.
Night and day from last year.
