My source tells me Elko was told he wasn't allowed to start eating until he said that.

Good point, both A&M Consolidated and College Station High, are pretty good.  They have better marching bands, too.

They also have state titles in 91 and 2010, respectively.

Let's compare Sark to Elko on the same subjects:

a) Draft Picks

Sark: Focused on the process by stating why the lack of draft picks existed and how it would be resolved when he got here. He said there had been a lack of development around here, and he would prioritize players being developed. Now he emphasizes to his current players via the media that so-and-so worked hard and look at how he did in the draft. The result has been 10+ draft picks the last two years, and more to come without having to say it.

Elko: Response to aggy boosters bitching about Texas draft picks. "We will have 10+ draft picks this year," which implies that the players' talent is already a guarantee for success. Message to players via the media: "Hey, there are 10+ of us that will get drafted before we even play a down this year."

b) Winning:

Sark: His approach is process-based. He said, "We will institute processes based on who I am, and I will bring to the table lessons learned from mentors and mistakes and stay true to those processes. I rather fail then try to be something that does represent who I am". The result is two trips to the semis.

Elko: In response to aggy boosters complaining that Texas is getting lots of dishonest press that makes them seem like the flagship of our state. "Elko, we will be the premier program in college football." Message to players via the media: "Hey, we just have to show up, and we will be respected as the premier program in the country."

This is why aggy is aggy - they can't handle anything other than being told they're #1, regardless of the evidence, since they must live in a fantasy world. It permeates the entire culture, so even though their players have never won anything, they play and walk around as if they've won back-to-back championships. Ask the softball team - they never thought they could lose; they thought they just had to show up.

I definitely call horseshit. 18-21 hours of 'A' for any normal student would be extremely impressive. 24 hours, at 2 different institutions, while playing a college sport? Momma is making shit up about her little angel. 

 

Maybe she meant 24 hours in a single year?

Yep!  Someone pulled receipts on this like three days ago, and after a few hours of getting called out, Jermaine deleted the post.  Was glorious in the replies.

If it happens (aggy becoming the premier program in college football), it won’t be during his tenure or during our lifetime.

I feel bad for sure, but maybe avoid a program that certainly pissed off a Very powerful Bruja.

But, did he rip off his tie and stomp on it ala Bear Bryant back in the heady "Junction Boys" day?

Those gomers would eat that up, too.

Blinn is in Brenham, not Bryan/College Station.  It's owned by the people of Washington County.  They play their home games in Brenham ISD's stadium.  The Blinn in Bryan is a satellite campus and only exists because Brazos County is too cheap to build their own community college.  They had a private juco for a while, but that went bust.  Blinn stepped in to fill the gap temporarily while Brazos County was supposed to develop their own, but they never did.  Blinn was fine with it because they charge everyone on that campus "out of county" tuition and get more money from the state because they could count those students in enrollment.  So in short, no, aggyland cannot count any of the Blinn NCs or Scam Newton as their own.

They can’t count most of the ones they already have. You think something like that would stop them?

I was curious, so I looked.

In-district is defined as resides, owning property, or paying taxes in Washington County for 6 months.

Per semester in-district tuition for full-time Blinn attendance: $960.  Out of district: $1845.  Out of state: $4185.  The Texas A&M engineering academy at Blinn-Brenham has an additional cost.

By comparison, Austin Community college is $1275, $4290, and $5295, respectively.  ACC district spans 7 counties - and also has an aTm engineering academy path.

Is it true A&M has a higher acceptance rate than ACC?

Don't know, but keep in mind the acceptance rate has to be high enough to capture those candidates willing to stick their entire arm up a cow's rectum.

ACC has a 100% acceptance rate, if I recall correctly.

If aTm is accepting people who do not apply, then "yes"

This is true.  It benefits from the high educational level of Austin.  Moreover, they explicitly plan to educate the community for the local businesses, etc.
