November 29, 20232 yr Um...you've had numerous highly ranked classes. You constantly talk about having the talent to win it all. You're obsessed with your #4 in the country talent rating. Maybe there's something to paying attention to character. Same guy: First sentence contradicts his earlier point. Hi-lighted portion is the kind of specious argument one expects on Texags. The only alternative to obsessively going after the top class without regard for character or roster balance is to abandon high-ranked players altogether. And maybe get past the Mississippi schools, Tennessee, App State, and a shitty Miami team before setting your sites on Georgia or Alabama. Or us.

Holy shit, it might actually be too on the nose. Yeah for sure. Also having the all hat #1 class paints a target on your back that everyone from Feshwater to Saban salivates over. If you are creating an unbalanced roster with 20 DL. The rest of the 5 stars transfer. And some players are locker room cancers. Then yeah give me any Sark class any day.

November 30, 20232 yr Over on Texags Ross Bjork recaps search that resulted in Texas A&M landing Mike Elko Quote Look at baseball and women's basketball. From a profile standpoint, hiring a football coach was similar. We wanted a high-profile sitting head coach. Joni Taylor¹ and Jim Schlossnagle² did not have to leave their positions. Mike Elko³ did not have to leave Duke. All the coaches we talked to didn't have to leave, but they wanted to talk to Texas A&M. With the exception of Jamie Morrison and Brian Kortan, the head coaches we have hired have all been sitting head coaches. It's a testament to A&M. You can have the best AD in the world, but you have to have the infrastructure that is Texas A&M. It's my job to package it and recruit coaches to come to A&M. Let's take a look at Bjork and A&M's uncanny ability to hire three high level coaches. ¹ (Joni Taylor) She joined the University of Georgia staff in 2011, spending one season as an assistant coach, before being promoted to associate head coach. In April 2015, Coach Landers announced his retirement and gave full support for Taylor to replace him. She became only the second full-time head coach in program history.[1][2] Taylor coached her team to a 21–10 record in her inaugural year, including five wins against ranked opponents and an invitation to the NCAA tournament, which earned her the Spalding Maggie Dixon Rookie Coach of the Year award.[3] ² (Jim Schlossnagle) He then served as the head coach of the UNLV Rebels (2002–2003) and the TCU Horned Frogs (2004–2021). Schlossnagle has been named a National Coach of the Year by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association in 2010 and by Baseball America in 2016, and he has won 8 conference Coach of the Year awards in his 16-year head coaching career.[1] ³ (MIke Elko) On December 13, 2021, Elko was announced as head coach at Duke.[8] In his first season, the Blue Devils went 9–4 with a win in the Military Bowl. In 2023, Duke began the season with an upset 28–7 win over Clemson, and finished the regular season 7–5. Pretty much all equal in terms of being sitting head coaches. As Bjork says, "It's a testament to A&M." I bet he thought this was really sharp, top drawer, and brilliant. Oh, there's more. We all saw this coming: Quote Elko was at the top of our list from the beginning. We wanted to have several conversations with him. We talked about staff names. We talked timeline. That second convo, we knew he was ready, and his vision matched up. Bjork is really full of himself: Quote I said from the beginning that this is not an 8-4 job. Does someone have the chops to do this job? We made a big decision to make a change, so with that comes a lot of pressure. Are they ready for that? All of those things go into it. Did we get it right? The reactions of players, recruiting, donors, fans and coaches matter. Contrary to all appearances and accounts, he's absolutely correct. Also, I don't think he gets the concept of having chops. I think he thinks it's the same thing as cojones. That is if he knows what cojones refers to. Edited November 30, 20232 yr by RomaVicta

November 30, 20232 yr Yea, it's been a pretty rough year for tu and those sippies. If we don't make the playoff, I guess the whole season will have been a failure.

It comes from their false military institution image, that they were off fighting wars while UT students were sipping tea. 600+ former Longhorns, including two dozen active Longhorn athletes, were killed during WWII. Every other school in the nation had students, faculty, and staff that died for their country in WWII. To derisively refer to UT, or anyone else, as tsips, spits on the grave of those that died. The blood of aggy spilled in WWII is not more or less heroic than any other American. It’s stolen valor. And it’s disgusting.

Everything about them is fraudulent, from their identity, their place in the world, and even their performance. They once recorded a spring game as a victory on the season.
