lol aggy.com stat page only takes the rivalry thru 1915 (start of SWC play for some odd reason) to make it seem less one sided, even though it subtracts 4 of their wins.

its actually more of a wonder it wasn't tied to 1984 which would be 21 / 19 in A&Ms favor - also holy smokes that is a coincidental year :D

I doubt anyone here knows. He was a ‘70s graduate and retired, so it’s possible.

3 years since he’s been here.

They won a championship..   (one they voted themselves to win on barstool)

Then they debated making their sheep love legal.

I can't imagine how many college towns I've been in.  At least 100?  I wouldn't put B/CS above the bottom 10%.  Athens, Clemson, Baton Rouge, Boulder, Champaign, Eugene, Madison, even Columbus all are so superior it's comical.  They might have the edge on Waco.

At least Waco is on the interstate and you can easily get to Austin or Dallas. College Station is in the sticks.

No kidding? A hundred? That’s cool. I’ve hit every PAC 12 school over the years for work and always bought a hat or shirt. ACC as well in my travels. And I would only buy gear if I was on campus. Had a cool collection going.

CSB: was at mizzou years ago and sold them a bunch of clothing for electricians on campus. Royal blue FR clothing. They sent it back because Kansas colors. I had to replace it with gray FR fabric. Made me chuckle but I get it.

Well, a lot were pretty small towns.  I have a huge collection of college coffee mugs . . . somewhere (storage?) . . . I made it a point for years to drop into college towns while on driving vacations and pick one up.

As an example, I'd rather live in Northfield MN (St. Olaf) than B/CS by far.  Then you add in all the "big city" college towns (Boston, SF, etc.) and the Aggies are so far out of their league it's laughable.

Yeah I'm probably well over 100. When MSU came up and your post made me think back. Starkville was among the worst for me. CS is right up there. I looked at some that came to mind. Johnson City, TN (ETSU) was one. It certainly doesn't have a lot to offer, but a quick search provided some interesting items and just outside are the Appalachians. Martin Tennessee, home of UT Martin is... up there on chain restraunt only, middle of nowhere, nothing to do cities. Even some weird remote ones like UNC Greensboro were in cities I far preferred. Canyon Texas has Palo Duro Canyon and there ends the list of shit to do. It's not the worst college town, but certainly bottom 10% and I'd probably say bottom 5. 

I've been to all the ones you noted save Eugene (which I actually want to visit) and yeah, those are different world better, like Greensboro, NC. I wouldn't plan a trip to any save a couple, but I would dread going to any either.

Have you ever driven 35?  You can’t get anywhere easily on 35. CS is a dump, but you can usually get to Austin or Houston faster from there.

Yeah. Been from San Antonio to Minneapolis on 35. Didn’t say I love it. But I don’t love Gause or Caldwell or Hearne or Navasota, either.

Mike Elko and Texas A&M are finalizing a new contract to make him one of the top-10 highest-paid coaches in the country and securing his future amid this historic coaching cycle, sources tell @YahooSports.Elko is 17-5 in College Station and has the Aggies 9-0 and ranked No. 3.

Thamel is reporting its top 3. Which would put him in the 12 million range. Screenshot_20251115_102227_X.thumb.jpg.371cac8fc963d7e7502cb877862a9961.jpg

One way to interpret this is as a threat to Texas for the future. The other way to interpret this is as a golden hilarious future as we watch A&M rinse and repeat the Jimbo experience.

Their HC budget is now 18-19 million a year until 2031. If this fails they'll be stuck with elko even if he's 3-9 for 5 years

Those transfer receivers they hit on leave and they don’t strike gold in the portal again, get a tougher schedule next year.  This team could easily be back to 8-4 next year.

So when are they stuck with 2 payouts? 

Will aggy be liable for the entirety of the contract when/if Elko dies from a massive heart attack or type 2 diabetes?

I’m sure they didn’t have that luxury. Honestly it seems like they could’ve gotten squeezed harder than this.

really?

 

I mean they could be great.... but no one fucking knows because neither their opponents nor notre dames have impressed anyone,  so they may be good, but they may also be getting the benefit of shit schedules.

I mean at least wait until you either win the sec championship, or win a CFP game before you repeat the same fucking mistake as 5 years ago.

I think they want to lock him up so he would not go to Penn State.

LOL, this.  Don't these dumb motherfuckers know you should wait until the end of the season?  If he gets in the playoffs, wins a couple of rounds or whatever, then pay him.  Until then, he ain't done shit.  And you are rewarding "ain't done shit" again.  The A&M AD is the ultimate fail upward job.
