August 5Aug 5 Popular Post In the quiet of an offline conversation, Sarkisian is capable of expressing genuine disdain for the ATM football program. He’s not a fan of Elko either. A lot of it carries over from Fisher and Elko fucking the state of affairs for everyone while he was still at Bama. A lot of their bullshit about him with recruits and the media (feeding negative shit to their people in the media and the national guys) started when he was there and carried over to Texas. Fisher is a piece of human shit. Excluding Elko from that label for the time being, but he’s not some jolly kind man just because he’s fatter than Santa Claus. So it is funny to me that the aggie fanbase is so desperate to hate him. They have a pathological need to both deify their coaches and vilify the Texas coaches. Sarkisian will never say a negative thing about them in public, yet they’ll manufacture their anger because of some psychological shortcoming as a fanbase that only they possess. In any event, he gets them in ways it only took the bonfire game for Mack Brown to comprehend. I think he’s going to do everything he can to blow them out everytime Texas plays them. Fisher might be one of my favorite aggy coaches ever. Took them to the cleaners and bled them dry with his best class ever. His mediocrity and laziness as a coach plotted against their hype and worship is just more evidence they are a cult of morons.

While being sanctioned by the NCAA for blatant cheating - just barely avoiding the Death Penalty. https://www.upi.com/Archives/1994/01/05/NCAA-places-Texas-AM-football-program-on-probation/4174757746000/ Quote OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -- Texas A&M University avoided the 'death penalty' Wednesday but was placed on probation for five years by the NCAA Committee on Infractions for major violations in its football program committed from 1990 to 1992. Texas A&M's football team also will be excluded from playing in a bowl game or appearing on television during the 1994 season. The NCAA did not take away any football scholarships, however, or place limits on the recruiting program. The violations cited by the NCAA include the paying of athletes for work that was not performed, providing financial aid for prospective athletes and providing extra benefits to athletes. Several players, including star running back Greg Hill, were suspended during the 1993 season for receiving pay for work that was not performed. Hill missed the first four games of the season. 'We believe that the penalties imposed by the NCAA Committee on Infractions are significant and it is disappointing to note that the actions of a few individuals can have such a significant impact on a university so committed to compliance,' Texas A&M Interim President Dr. Dean E. Gage said in a prepared statement. David Swank, an Oklahoma University law professor and chairman of the Infractions Committee, said the NCAA's harshest sanction -- the so-called death penalty for repeat violations -- was considered because of similar rules violations concerning the summer work program in 1988. However, the death penalty was not imposed, he said, because only one representative of the university's athletic interest was involved in the case, and the university conducted its own 'prompt and thorough investigation' and cooperated with the NCAA enforcement staff. 'We discussed it (death penalty) but decided there were enough unique factors that it was an inappropriate penalty in this case,' Swank said in a teleconference with the media. 'But for the strong action taken by (school officials) the penalty would have been more severe. One can only hope that the alumni of Texas A&M will follow their example.'  Edited August 5Aug 5 by Armybrat

That's a gross mismanagement of expectations, even if Elko genuinely thinks the team will be good. It's not like the aggy fanbase needs any help getting the rollercoaster to the apex every year.

I can’t link directly to the plays from mobile but the time stamp for the one that connected is 20:31. It came on second down while Alabama was up 45-24 with less than 6 minutes on the game clock. All of Alabama’s starters were in.  I also think 2020 Alabama is worth watching given what is expected from our offense next year. We don’t have the speed at WR or general awesomeness at RB (I think we’re a year and health away there), but there’s some stuff we’ll see reappear and complement some of the things Sark added to the offense the last couple years (like TE leak).Â
