re: Lee Corso back for another year
Posted by Texas Gentleman on 7/25/24 at 7:22 am
I like watching college game day still, but Corso’s segments are tough. I get doing what you like even in old age to keep you active, but at some point you should retire, and for him that point was several years ago. ...

You put this in almost every post you make about A&M (which is a lot), so the irony here is too funny. Living in denial.
And breaking news at 6, a player that transfers has better things to say about his new program than the one he lef...

No clue.

re: Quinn Ewers Dad just said UT =Texas
Posted by Texas Gentleman on 7/20/24 at 7:42 am
Well, seeing as the A&M technically doesn’t stand for Agricultural and Mechanical anymore, I’d guess you could say we’re fairly justified in just referring to ourselves at the “Texas Aggies”. A&M is just symbolic at this point.

re: Current State of SEC Football versus the Big 12
Posted by Texas Gentleman on 7/15/24 at 10:20 am
What the OP and many longhorn fans fail to realize is there’s a huge difference in winning one game vs an SEC team, grinding out a season against 8 of them.
As to the A&M vs Oklahoma St game, we were on our 3rd or 4th string QB at that point thanks to injuries, plus coaching with half a staff aft...

re: Just for fun, let’s revisit Aggie prophet Billy Liucci’s old tweet
Posted by Texas Gentleman on 6/28/24 at 12:07 pm
You can see why even many Aggies call him our “propaganda minister”.
To be fair, one of those 3 was just a couple of runs away from securing a natty, so it’s not like he was totally wrong. Jimbo was definitely a bust, jury is still out on Buzz but so far he hasn’t lived up to his billing....
re: Hearing from the Aggie site that Laviolette is likely headed to Vols
Posted by Texas Gentleman on 6/28/24 at 10:43 am
I’d be careful running with hints/speculation from Texags. Most of that site was convinced Schloss was staying up until about 3pm on Tuesday.
He’s in the portal like many of the other guys, I’m sure he’s waiting to see who A&M hires before fully deciding to jump ship or not....

[quote]Aggies didn't seem to have any problems with him treating the reporter that way until his departure was known[/quote]
That’s a bit of a stretch, sure a few folks said he was out of line, but a majority were fine with the question. Lots of praise even early on for the guy as for many years ...
re: Perhaps Duke fans can offer Aggie some pointers on recovering from having a coach stolen

Eh, pretty big difference between Elko, leaving Duke and what happened with Schloss. And I think you know that. Kinda low level troll effort from you.
It’s one thing to leave a few days after you’ve “indicated” you’re sticking around, main season is over, just a bowl game ahead. And it’s totally ...
re: Schloss - The Deal & The Interview
Posted by Texas Gentleman on 6/26/24 at 9:25 am
From all that I’ve seen, that looks to be fairly accurate. This deal was in the works for a while. His relationship with CDC plus the tightening of our athletic budget seems to have worked against us.
Still think it’s a sh*tty move to announce during the college World Series and shows longhorns h...
re: 2024-25 Fightin Texas Aggie Baseball Offseason
Posted by Texas Gentleman on 6/25/24 at 3:15 pm
Baseball is probably the major men’s sport I follow the least (so behind football and basketball), but damn if they didn’t draw me in this year, well before the Omaha run. So dang close, wish they would’ve pulled it out for all of you diehard baseball fans that have stuck with them through the years...
re: Brent Venables gets new 6 year contract

To be honest, this reads a lot like A&M fans with Fisher, circa 2020-2021 with his extension.
“Sumlin only did good with Sherman’s recruits and talent evaluation, he had lots of talent to work with thanks to Sherman and blew it by going 8-4 all the time. He did a poor job of roster management so...

Was it the post that was counting downvotes that tipped it? He’s always worried about what kind of votes his posts get.
I agree, less using of “ooof” and the laughing emoji, so managed to hide it a little better on this 4th or 5th go around, I’ve lost count at this point....

Beat TCU to advance to the finals who was at the time coached by our current coach and had started 2-0 in Omaha. TCU had also beaten us in our own super regional that year.

re: Sumlin v Fisher
Posted by Texas Gentleman on 6/18/24 at 12:05 pm
In case the OP wasn’t aware, Ags are doing pretty well in Omaha right now, maybe save the football talk another week or two.
And the answer isn’t really that clear. Sure Sumlin has a better statistical record, but his best seasons were the first two when he was mostly using players he didn’t recr...
