Most Aggies dislike Hamm. As others have mentioned, he is completely blacklisted from the program. He has no credentials, cannot even attend press conferences and has zero sources within the program.

This had nothing to do with johnson. We wanted dcs on his own merits. Sure, we want johnson just like everybody else, but we aren't going to "waste" a scholarship to get another receiver. We have more talent at receiver than any other position and are in great shape for another great receiver class with or without johnson,

We generate significantly more revenue than usc and the gap will be much larger after 2015 (new stadium and suites). Usc is not going to land sumlin or strong or anybody that already makes over 3 million.

Btw, the kid might be valedictorian of his high school class. And weights 310 with a 4.84 laser 40.

He later said that he knows all the states he is considering have stand your ground laws but he "knows his way around Texas and Louisiana."

Ran a 10.49 as a sophomore.

As I mentioned earlier, that was posted by Perroni. Perroni is not an Aggie and just joined Gig'em 247 a couple of weeks ago. He has been with 247 previously as a national analyst. I would guess he sees his long term future as a national guy rather than an A&M guy.

Point being; it would not make a lot of sense for him to make something up or to run with a story if he isn't confident in his sources. I am not saying he is right. Could have bad sources. Could be misinterpreting information. But it is naïve to say "lol delusional Aggie homer" in this case.

He will have a historically fantastic season and then declare. If he had a bad season, I guess he could stay but anybody who watched him in the spring could see he was so much more advanced than even the Cotton Bowl let alone early in the season.

All Aggies hate Mark May and love Herbie.

Aggie perspective here. Dynamics in texas are different because there are multiple bcs programs. Your association with a university is not simply about what state you are from but has all kinds of socioeconomic, political, and family background implications. Bama arrogance is just about football. Longhorn arrogance is such that they think they are better than other people.

Longhorns don't really care about football. That is just a means to an end. The end is for everybody to acknowledge that they are, in deloss's own words, "the joneses."

Therefore, nobody in the sec- is their worthy peer. Only the michigan, tosu, notre dame, uscw types are worthy of comparison.

I remember very well the 80's and 90's when we controlled the state of texas. We won 10 of 11 and would go into austin and by the second half the stadium was 2/3 Aggies. They didn't really care and they were just as arrogant as ever. After all, we were still sheep humpers and all that.

What you call Aggie arrogance is really mostly the younger generation of Aggies that have never really experienced sustained succes and are beating their chests. They will get over it if we keep it up. There is also a segment of Aggies who feel like they need to kick up the hatred with lsu to prove we don't care about the longhorns. I am optimistic we will outgrow that pretty soon too.

I am a Mormon and served a two year mission. It is a bit more complicated, but saying a Mormon needs a good excuse not to serve a mission is a bit like saying a Catholic needs a good excuse not to go to mass. Yes, you are supposed to but nobody is going to force you obviously. Some elite athletes do, others do not, even devout LDS. Any coaching staff should just ask him what his plans are. He would likely serve before he enrolled (if that is in fact his plan).

Something like 50pct of Tongans and 25pct of Samoans are LDS.

On another subject, what is the LSU story with Kevin Shorter?
