AgGrad

I was just trying to add some humor.

Mostly I agree with your sentiment, though I think all 3 (Strong, Herman, Sark) had the potential to be good.

I feel like this:
* Strong --> boosters got in the way and he wasn't ready to deal with them.
* Herman --> boosters got in the way and he'll never be ready to deal with them.
* Sark --> boosters might get in the way and he might be able to deal with them.

Good luck. Sort of. :)

Some better and clearer info on the beginnings of A&M and UT-Austin.

The Legislature finally provided for the establishment of a land-grant college in April 1871....In 1875, the Legislature separated the administrations of A&M and the University of Texas, which still existed only on paper. The Agricultural and Mechanical College formally opened on Oct. 4, 1876.

Finally, on March 30, 1881, the Legislature passed a law providing for the organization of the University of Texas....The university formally opened on Sept. 15, 1883, with a ceremony in the unfinished west wing of the main building.

One last post and I'm out. I'm recalling something about arguing with a fencepost, a juvenile one, at that...

I shouldn't have to explain, but I gather from your posts that, at least in your present state, you're incapable of critical thinking.

I'm not dismissing domestic violence and I do not and would not condone domestic violence, but congrats on trying to put words in my mouth. That's odd behavior. I'm dismissing your generalization that domestic violence is representative of Aggies.

Having said that, people from all walks of life commit crimes. Unfortunately. Those that do, must deal with the consequences and I hope that their punishment, if/when found guilty, is just and doesn't repeat.

Obviously and unfortunately, having values or a code doesn't somehow magically preclude a crime or juvenile behavior. To suggest otherwise is myopic. Your attempt to denigrate Aggie Code of Honor as being unworthy/fake is imbecilic.

I gather you're an LSU fan. Are you aware that LSU has an code of conduct? That code doesn't prevent criminal or foolish behavior and any of that behavior doesn't make the LSU code fake or illegitimate. LINK

Your attempt to include extrapolate/relate this case to my family and to Aggie sports championships also shows a complete lack of education, or day-drinking.

It seems to me that you have some kind of axe to grind and you took this opportunity to do it. But, because you're human, I have confidence that you can do better and be better.

Juvenile.

Certainly not good news for him.

Anonymous, premature, juvenile, generalizing comments are the worst.

This is odd. ammo for what? I'm wondering if you need some productive hobbies or something in that vein.

Totally agree. To me, it's clear when a hit is excessive. I suspect that the dilemma will be how to codify that into an ostensibly objective rule.

Please. Sure, the horn non-conference schedule would have been full for 1 or 2 years, at the most. Even now, the horn non-conf schedule is full only for 2020; past 2020 only have 1-2 non-conf teams scheduled.

Back then, horn AD could easily have added A&M after only a 1-2 year interruption. Instead, they decided to be arrogant DBs, but nobody was surprised at their juvenile behavior.

This is odd. Not sure what you don't understand. Clearly you've been consumed with other things and have been unable to pay attention.

When A&M left the Big12, A&M officials stated many times that they intended to keep playing the Horns at Thanksgiving. Texas' AD Deloss Dodds refused and tried to exact revenge by pushing other B12 teams to never schedule the Aggies.

Deloss & Texas admin were being arrogant asses, and were especially ticked that Aggies balked at tagging along with them to join the Pac10/12.

Because of Texas's BS, the Aggies made other scheduling plans.

Most Aggies still remember the juvenile horn behavior and consequently don't have much interest in renewing the series.

Wow. 3 strikes in one line. Don't see that very often.
