Are you forgetting their national championship the year Hitler invaded Poland?
If Vitello was Texas' first choice he would be the new Longhorn baseball coach today.
If you're going to run with the tall dogs you've got to learn to pee in the high weeds.

I know money gets ahead of things but he had what he needed at A&M to be a contender every year.



Now he'll have what he needs to be a contender (no team has been to the college world series more than Texas) but for A LOT MORE MONEY.

Bama did not steal Saban from LSU the day after you won the title.


Nor did Texas "steal" Schloss the day after A&M won a title.

So ... we're good?

In my view, this is about the most fricking SEC thing possible.


One wouldn't think that Longhorns would have to educate a LSU fan re: the way things work in the SEC ---- where they say "it just means more" ---- but I guess there is no end to educational responsibilities when you're a Longhorn fan.

A&M.. on the cusp of winning something relevant for the first time ever


Sir, I'll have you know that you have forgotten their football national championship, which they won 85 years ago, when Hitler was invading Poland.

Only fans think their schools alumni base is more special than another's. The only tangible difference is the logo on their polo shirt or cap.


That's simply untrue. The size of the alumni base, and its wealth, are tangible differences. A Texas recruit who goes to A&M or Texas will have exponentially more opportunities than one who goes to Auburn or LSU --- and better opportunities, too.

99+% of these athletes have no more value attributed to their NIL than anyone in this thread.



The fact that they are getting paid NIL and I am not disproves this.
quote:

Some guys generate those millions and don’t have an NFL future…



So why shouldn't they take the money now?
quote:

It’s not the paying players that is the problem, it’s that there are no controls. No contracts, no salary caps. Rich schools/boosters just dole out unlimited money. Players can just transfer to highest bidder as often as they want. No controls on schools paying ungodly amounts of money. No controls on players jumping from one team to another. This is all exponentially worse than the NFL.



I don't see this as a bad thing at all. Players are free agents who deserve to be paid what the market will bear. College football for decades has been a billion-dollar industry that has shamefully underpaid its workers/talent, while bureaucrats and others get fat. As a conservative, I'm glad the tables have turned. The free market is a beautiful thing. I'm all for it. Seeing Bruce Springsteen costs a lot more than seeing Weldon Johnson at the Dew Drop Inn because enough people have decided that Springsteen is worth it. If LSU wants in the game they'll have to pony-up for the talent. That's all there is to it.

Let the games begin.


Historical smack talk is so funny when neither the coaches or the players who contributed to that record are on campus. Texas won a national championship in the last two decades --- and fired the coach. LSU won two national championships in the last two decades ---- and fired both coaches. I'm sure all of this is on Dakorian Moore's mind.

I think that Russia is winning the war. That's just my opinion.



It's already lost. The question now is how long it takes them to realize it.

Only time Democrats come around is to ballot harvest the urban areas come election time.



Why can't Republicans create cities in which people want to live?
Russia's GDP is smaller than it was in 2013.

Russia's GDP is about the same as that of Texas, despite the fact that Russia has 4.7 times as many people as Texas.

Over the past three years Russia has lost around 2m more people than it would ordinarily have done, as a result of war, disease and exodus. The life expectancy of Russian males aged 15 has fallen by almost five years, to the same level as in Haiti.

There are currently 13.1 deaths in Russia for every 9 births.

Russia is a failing state.

Impossible. He's been taking L's on this board for over a decade now. It's all he knows.


He's an Aggie fan. They literally never win anything. Given their size, their money and their location, their sports futility defies statistical explanation. You'd think that, somehow, someway, they'd have stumbled arse backwards into a baseball or basketball or football championships but .. nope.

So, yeah, losing is all he knows.

Of the top 10 most populated US cities, only 1 has a Republican mayor...Dallas...and he just switched parties in 2023.



Nobody lives in those cities anymore. They're too crowded.
It's been happening for 20 years?

CFB is literally bigger than ever.
