FWIW, I was a Freshman in Fall of '89 and I think my initial registration was done on scantron bubble forms at FAC. And I know I had to do adds and drops at the Erwin Center once. I dont' remember using TEX until maybe Spring of '90? Maybe TEX was online before then but not mandatory?

I was a freshman the same semester and that’s what I remember as well.

Either VTech is ponying up to prevent Buzz from making what is at best a lateral move or word has gotten to A&M regents from the lege that the minimal chance in hell that you will be getting extra $ to fund your school will drop to less than zero if you overpay for a basketball coach that is making what is at best a lateral move. 

For $3.5m, why would Tech let him go? They can match that. If they don't WANT to, why even have a basketball program?

Three full days ago, Buzz Williams to A&M was reportedly "done". Now all I see is that he is like the leading candidate or some such crap. What is the holdup?

I was a freshman in the fall of 1990 and it was all TEX.  But I do recall upperclassmen telling me about the Erwin Center and that TEX was "new" at the time.

And I'm sure it was much better than standing in line for adds n drops, but there was more than one occasion when I couldn't get the sections, or even the classes, that I wanted, and TEX's cruel departing message went like:

"You are registered for... ZERO... courses, for a total of...ZERO... hours.  Goodbye, and good luck."

I told my Dad about Adds and Drops at the FEC and he told me about registration in Gregory Gym.  In August.  Without A/C.

Armybrat had to register twice because his first application was lost when the stagecoach was ambushed.

Armybrat’s total tuition bill for the fall semester of 1962 was $100 (full load, blanket tax, and just for nothing fees). Books ran another $50-$60, which I thought was an outrageous scam. Gregory Gym was a bit warm, so afterwards I went up the street to Hilberg’s Cafe for a chicken fried steak lunch (side of mashed taters, house salad, and iced tea). 85 Cents.

pre-OUsux days. It was just “fuck OU” then.

I think you were like 5 years ahead of my granddad. He has some great stories, including being on campus with my grandmother when Whitman started shooting (I mean, that wasn't great, but fascinating to hear him talk about it).

Yeah, I was there for summer school when that happened. Was eating lunch at the Holiday House with my roomie (Flameburger #5 FTW), then went around to the parking lot on 21st to watch it while crouched behind a car.

You're right. Armybrat's intriguing stories are getting in the way of 300 pages of aggy related inanity. 

#16664

You’re right. We should just do away with all of the different boards. Fuck it. Get rid of threads too. Let’s just have a single stream of consciousness page of ramblings. I love to mix my recruiting talk with cloak room shit.

any chance you knew a Lana Cannon? She was my 8th grade English teacher and was also there

Not from then, lol. She's in her 70s now, I could probably find one of those for you.

The topic will change next time aggy does something stupid.  You really think there's going to be a long wait?

Just to wrap things up, registering for classes at Freshman orientation for Fall 2003 -- the computers were all full, so they had me use TEX (or over the phone, if it wasn't still TEX), so it hung around for a while.

Jimbo just figured out aggy’s entire history of futility.  I don’t even need to read the article.  The headline sums up aggy football perfectly.  Not just this team.  All of aggy football ever.

Is this better or worse than having “some” guys that can play at a conference or national championship level on the team?

#16684

I saw this article yesterday. Jumbo basically told his players they're not worth a s***. Bold strategy cotton, we'll see how that works out.

Jimbo just showing how red ass, ruff stuff stuff and definitely NOT a cuck he is by challenging the players, you stupid sips.

More like warning them to stay away from his wife, while also passively aggressively pointing out to his wife they are losers and therefore should not be slept with. He’s proactive this time. 

#16687

Now watch someone say they are triggered by his comments and demand a written apology? Wrong , they are gomers and will lap it up like dogs to anti-freeze.  

#16688

Jimbo needs to have some sympathy. How can aggy players play at a championship level when rappers keep dying? (Rest in peace, Nipsey Hussle.)

The next Nipsey track played in CS will be the first.

Jimbo follows in the footsteps of another outrageously overpaid coach.

I guess to chin pubes responding to your constituency is exceedingly clever

There's no cleverness required when responding to chin pubes' constituency, so I'm not sure that concept would register with him.
