But I think it proved some things to people. I never bought into the big brother syndrome stuff, but some people did. 

Wait...one of the article's central themes is that they left because Powers said "we'll take care of you" to Loftin, which, to them, exemplifies the infinite arrogance of Texas, blah blah blah. And their response was to go all "we'll show you!" and go out of their way to separate from Texas, then spend the next decade (and counting) patting themselves on the back about it. 

Isn't that pretty much the definition of "big brother syndrome stuff?"

All I could think about while reading that:

I can handle things!

100

The only part better than that was the one chode saying "We eliminated all the Aggie jokes by going SEC!!!!" which is itself an Aggie joke.

I also loved the chart Bowtie Loftin put together showing the pros and cons of all the factors in A&M's move. 

Academics was listed as "substantial decrease", which sounds bad, and it was only ranked 5th. But seriously all the Aggie jokes can stop now guys. They're a cosmopolitan university.

Summary of that article:

1) Bowtie got offended by Bill Powers

2) Bowtie thinks LHN isn’t fair

3) Aggy wants SEC but scared of Baylor. 

4) Aggy finally gets invited to SEC. 100 year decision.

5) Johnny won a heisman and beat bama once

6) Jimbo

Always remember that A&M fans simultaneously want to be treated like Goliath in terms of respect, but then they want every Aggie victory treated like it came courtesy of David's slingshot. 

E.g., "We's a big boy SEC national contender now" and "CAN YOU BELIEVE WE BEAT LSU?!!???! CAN'T NOBODY DO THAT!!!!!"

But by 2010, Texas A&M had grown into a cosmopolitan, coed campus with more than 49,000 students. 

I laughed. 

No, no, no, it's really true. They've got a Chipotle AND a Pita Pit.

You care, James Hardt.  You do.  Haha.

It honestly gives me a warm fuzzy to think about James going to his death bed never having seen the aggys win anything significant in his entire lifetime.  Nada.

For anyone that actually read all that did they get Texas’ side of the story at all or just regurgitate the aggy version?

I didn't read it all, but I didn't notice anything in there about aggy in talks with the SEC a year before they said they were. Before Texas was talking to the PAC.

it was written to sound like Texas was secretly trying to forklift half the Big 12 to the Pac without telling anyone. fucking eyeroll. and then because Texas was sneaky and duplicitous and didn't treat A&M like a 100% equal partner all the time in everything-- which, I don't know if anyone other than Aggies isn't aware, THAT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE A PODUNK SHITHEEL AG SCHOOL IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, YOU ARE NOT AN EQUAL PARTNER IN ANYTHING-- A&M had to bravely go to the SEC. 

#20512

I can't figure out why sportswriters and fans believe shit like this. Oklahoma State and Tech were just going to wake up one day and "oh Texas moved us to the Pac-12, well fiddle dee dee! what a surprise! oh and look, my head is stapled to the carpet."

The aggys conveniently forget that little incident around 1990 when Harvey Schiller was running the SEC and wanted Texas to jump conferences. The A&M contingent went apeshit that Texas was going to leave and Deloss didn’t negotiate a deal to take A&M along. The ags cried like children to the state legislature and had the deal killed. The SEC instead took Arkansas.

Fast forward to Texas talking to the PAC about changing conferences. This time Deloss negotiates a deal with both Texas and aggy. And aggy cries like children because Deloss included them.

Fuck aggy.

There are some other assumptions on this chart that are absolutely wrong:

Travel impact - 1 east coast game is an advantage over 1 west coast or no change so advantage SEC? okkkk

Texas A&M Independence and Leadership - Greatly Enhanced in the SEC? LOL

Culture of Conference - Similar Culture to SEC? Even the backwoods gomers think you are weird. 

Conference member revenue - Probable decrease for the B12. Oops.

National exposure - Increase certain, advantage SEC. I suppose you like getting your ass kicked on national television better than the alternative?

Comedy value: the statements about "equal revenue".

aggy demanded a big-boy share in the bdf with negative justification.

aggy demanded the orphan payout when Texas & 0u did the right thing and graciously said no.

The article is bleat-bait.

Fuck aggy. 

I still maintain they did for us what we could never achieve on our own in a thousand years.

The Constitutional Amendment for Divorce would never be possible if they had not left on their own.  We could never leave without them.  And thus the only entanglement that remains is their annual theft of our money.

aggy is like a high school student, who decides they no longer want to live at home with their parents, and believe they are mature enough to move out and live their own life....but, please continue to help with their rent, since I really can't survive without you.

aggys are all talk about "independence" until the subject comes up about ending their status as a branch of The University of Texas. When that is mentioned it becomes "but, but we can't exist on our own because we don't have any money!"

Fuck aggy.

#20532
Slow AND having poor vision seems like a bad combination for a DB. 

 

 

Holy shit. What a stupid brag. You should at least have 50% in attendance before you run your mouth off like that.

#20533



Holy shit. What a stupid brag.


I’m surprised he admitted to the 99 problems. It’s really more like 399, but honesty has never been important to aggy.

It would blow Leon’s little mind if he were to take an economics class. 

aggy’s pricing of 35,000 student tickets at the ridiculously low price that ensures tickets will be sold (he is crowing about ticket sales, not turnstile attendance) actually diminishes the aggy educational experience by not maximizing revenue to provide for the students who care enough to attend classes.

Heaven forbid anyone on the A&M campus prioritizes academics over cultural indoctrination or athletics. 

But hey, Leon, begging the legislature for additional funds because you don’t maximize existing resources is an aggy turdition.

The iron grip those rednecks maintain on perpetuating ignorance is utterly astounding.
