Pavia is like Manziel.
Apparently he’s also good friends with Manziel.
But Dan Patrick had some good comments on this. Bottom-line is that a team can absorb a bad attitude at other positions, but QB is the one position where it can’t. Similar to Sanders last year NFL teams aren’t going to touch a QB w an attitude. And especially a backup QB, who you just want to be quiet in the background and ready rather than drawing negative attention.
But his comments after the Heisman ceremony showed who he is.

Again not true. Although I bet you have fond memories of the Big 12 and your 1 conference championship almost 30 years ago.

If you watch the news they don’t seem as happy as the map indicates in Minnesota.

No Michigan, but Texas A&M is there?
That’s because even if you get fired they keep paying their coaches for years.
But yeah, otherwise absurd that Michigan isn’t listed over them.
Good God that video is hard to watch. I could only make it for about 25 seconds. What the hell is going on??

How the hell is OU ranked 12th today in baseball America?
20-10 and 11th in sec with a 5-7 record. A&M 16th at 24-8 and a better SOS
And their pitching has 74 walks and only a 1.56 K strikeout-to-walk ratio...

The sad thing about it is that, in my opinion, one of the prime contributors to the tragedy was when the location was moved from behind Duncan Dining Hall to the location adjacent to the polo field.
I attended two myself, once with a couple of Aggie buddies and once w that girl I was dating. Can’t remember where it was exactly. I know it was kinda on the south side of campus somewhere (as you’re approaching the campus if you were driving in from Houston).

My class was the first class never to participate in Bonfire. I wanted to be involved so I was on the Bonfire Steering Committee that was formed to basically figure out what happens next. LOTS of emotional meetings. Ultimately what we learned was that A&M, especially as a public entity would never be able to afford the optics or cost of insurance to cover such an event, assuming they could find a carrier that would give them a policy in the first place. I have serious doubts a University-sponsored Bonfire will ever burn again.
I can’t imagine how emotional that room must have been. I also hadn’t considered the insurance aspect which must’ve been through the roof.
Like I said I know the whole bonfire experience actually started early in the semester. That’s part of what made it special for the students, that so many had a hand in it. Hiring an engineering company to build it may keep the event itself alive, but sucks away a lot that made it more personal. Just an excruciatingly tough situation.

It's a great tradition and was a horrible tragedy. Like many tragedies it's one that could have been avoided. I was dating an Aggie and she knew some of the guys ("red pots" I think they were called) who were essentially the Corp reps who helped manage the construction. Every year they were absolutely trying to make it higher than the last crew did. That's just a human nature thing.
There were also lots of other aspects to bonfire such as student crews actually getting together to chop the wood, load the wood, bring it on site, etc.
No offense intended here but to me it seems like one of the best tributes A&M could make to those who died building the bonfire is to bring back the bonfire tradition again, but just do it under a stricter set of specifications. Again it was a great tradition and, quite frankly, blows our "light-a-candle-to-hex-A&M" tradition away.

Welp…
Not blaming the refs but…. I think if they’d called a foul or two on #4 we might’ve won.
It was all gravy anyway. Tough loss but a nice and very unexpected run.

Aggy got manhandled and out-toughed.

Lol, try it and you'll learn the same lesson that GA Tech learned when they were king shite a few decades ago. You have one bad season and you'll fade into nothingness. A conference gives you staying power and marketability in years when you aren't marketable.
Notre Dame says hi.
I don't disagree with your main point but there are definitely some brands that could pull off independence. Others not so much.
That said and for reasons you stated, a solid conference with as many big name brands and commitment to sports, as the SEC has, make the most sense for all.

Poooor aggy
Great series Rebs! That top of the 9th on Friday was epic. Y’all are going to do some damage in the SEC this year.

Basketball is a major sport you suck at.
No argument here. Always been a football and baseball school first. But it is a little crazy how our basketball program hasn't been able to find a gear. For like 15-20 years now.
That said aggy who we beat this year is probably the last school here that should be throwing any stones re basketball.

Chicken Littles never like change.
Thanks for posting. I thought Texas would go to LSU this year since they came to Austin last year. Anyone know what the scheduling plan is year to year?
