August 20, 20196 yr I don't even know why the Aggys are mad. Demas now has all the time in the world to work on schoolwork and guaranteed won't get injured his senior year. That's better for them.Â

That's better for them. aggys are mad because they invest their entire identity in an institution that can’t handle even the slightest modicum of success and hasn’t won anything of meaning in over 7 decades all while being in the shadow of one of the most successful and prestigious universities in the entire nation. What specific event they choose to direct their anger at from day to day usually defies all reason and logic, but the reason aggys are mad is entirely clear and understandable. Edited August 20, 20196 yr by Burt Macklin

August 20, 20196 yr these are priceless...shows what absolutely clueless, petulant little children aggy are.Â
August 20, 20196 yr If I didn't know aggies any better than I do, I wouldn't believe this shit. I try to explain things like this when aggie bullshit pops up somewhere and people laugh and assume I'm being ridiculous. Then, I tell them to go google it, or show a link or two, and they're always nonplussed by the absurdity. This one would take the cake, but for all of the other absurd dorky things they spew and do. A couple of buddies got me going on the various aggie stories that people can't believe are real, such as the elephant walk, jizz jar, sabre-drawing type stuff, at a party a few years ago. Out of the blue, a guy from a conversation over yells out "what is this tu bullshit you're shouting about Texas A&M?!". Record basically scratches to a stop. My friends start laughing at me, as though I've been called on my bullshit. I ask the dude if he went there, and he proceeds to admit that he went there and was in the corps. "Oh good, so then you can confirm everything I'm saying? Or are you going to deny it before I google it and show my friends." He pauses, ... "no, I mean it's all true, but that's our traditions and you should just stay the hell out of our business.' He turns back to his buddies, I say "You just got into my business, aggie." My buddies were fucking stunned. They started looking all of the stories up and, sure enough, it's all true and then some. It's shocking to people who don't grow up in Texas and see/hear the stories. The Internet has helped a lot though.
August 20, 20196 yr I've heard it referenced a few times that the family Demas is staying with in Tomball is a burnt orange family. If so, conspiracy confirmed, duh. Those kind folks lured him into a false sense of security with the carrot of a safe living environment, peace of mind, and the chance to focus on school. When in reality the entire time it was part of their plan to crush his soul by stealing his senior year of football, but in no way jeopardizing his scholarship offers or his recruiting ranking. And we would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those damn sleuths over at Texags!

Just look at how we used our influence to steal Demas' eligibility, made them hire Fran, got Johnny Manziel into drugs and alcohol, and prevented Reggie McNeal from taking his rightful place as national champion and Heisman winner (he's still better than VY, you stupid sips). The shadowy tendrils of the University of Texas are EVERYWHERE and have no decency.  If it wasn't big, bad Texas' fault, that would mean that their 80+ year long run of futility is solely on aggy. And we all know that can't be true.
August 20, 20196 yr I get the Demas ruling, but it seems like the elite schools rarely ever get hit with "athletic purpose" transfers. I know a dozen kids who transferred to Aledo purely for athletic reasons. Their parents openly post it on Facebook. Duncanville gets every elite kid from south Dallas. Allen gets more transfers than anyone. Yet when that Azle QB transferred to Weatherford (terrible program) or Demas goes to Tomball (not elite), it gets flagged. It seems counter-intuitive for coaches to vote this way.

Of course, he also claims that the reason he was so awful in 2009 was because he was hurt as well. Someone made it on the air today to talk about how many B12 bowl game opponents were held under their scoring average. McElroy immediately moved the goalposts to NFL draft picks as the measure of how good defenses are. Â Of course he never said most of those draft picks on concentrated in a few SEC teams nor that SEC has 40% more teams than the B12.
August 20, 20196 yr I say we use our influence at 247 to create a new rule that says if you don't play your senior year, you count as a zero star.

Just what olds said to youngs in my day. I will add that articulation was a major factor in this issue. I assume Demas spoke before the committee to make his case. Articulate or eloquent would be natural responses about any 17 year old who clearly made his case.

August 20, 20196 yr The thing that gets me here, is why does it fucking matter if Demas plays his senior year or not to aggy? Demas isn't going to get injured now, he could conceivably concentrate solely on academics and graduate early. There is no chance he gets a star taken away because let' be honest, these 995 mother fuckers aren't watching game film anyway. Who really gives a fuck, Tomball wasn't going to make state with or without Demas.

August 20, 20196 yr Quote Why would tu have an interest in trying to halt the development of a Aggie recruit and punish a player for choosing us over them? He inevitably would have made a plethora of highlight reel catches in his lost senior season. You think the sips aren't interested in keeping the highest profile Aggie recruit off SportsCenter and trending on social media? This was my favorite coming from the school that threw the biggest hissyfit in history when they thought that the LHN might air high school football games.

I'm too far removed from the rules but I'm assuming if an entire family picks up and moves from, say, Weatherford to Aledo it's just a re-location situation and all's good. But in a situation like this, where Demas has apparently (going by Sydney's post) moved to Tomball district to live with a family he's not related to -- well that ain't super kosher. Will be hysterical if he goes to IMG and some other program poaches him from aggy. That will be grand.

August 20, 20196 yr 2 hours ago, SquishMitten said: I agree with this take, and it's why I don't think he should've been denied. If the kid has a legit reason to leave a school, where they ultimately go shouldn't matter unless there's evidence that he was paid or something. If he (a) had a justifiable reason to leave, and (b) chose Tomball on his own accord - even if it was 100% because they have a good football program - there shouldn't be a restriction. But maybe I missed the part where they're claiming something shady? I know a kid whose dad was serving in the Army in Germany his senior year, so he moved to live with his aunt (also in the Army) in Texas because he wanted to graduate HS in the States. UIL denied his eligibility, and he ended up only being able to play JV football. Fortunately for him, some colleges are looking for diamonds in the rough and he got a scholarship to a D-1 school without playing varsity football. The process sucks, but it’s equal opportunity suckage.Â
