July 2, 20241 yr With Kent being from Austin and only playing due to injurym I would think we have a good chance with him maybe

It was aggy being extremely short sighted as usual. Hire this coach with no experience because he will get the players back. Take a one year run at it again. After that they have no plan

It's not like their long-term contract or plans with Jimbo produced results. Strike while the iron's hot. YOLO, aggy
July 2, 20241 yr I felt weird about taking their players. The only way I’d want any of them is if they gave a&m a try because of Schloss and have been wanting to get out of there asap. I feel the same way about any player from a&m or ou. Who wants a UT baseball team full of aggies?

Hire a coach that keeps as many players as possible off their runner-up team and pray they make another run, giving their rookie coach some credibility on the recruiting trail. Otherwise, and maybe even in that ideal scenario, their program looks to take a big step back to the norm in the next couple of years.

July 2, 20241 yr When aggy was mounting their gm 3 comeback and Kent came to the plate as the tying run I started to get worried until a little voice in the back of my head said "Fuck Jeff Kent" and I immediately felt at ease like I knew the game was in hand at that moment

July 2, 20241 yr "Please don't hurt the program" Their AD sounds just like their fans. Ineffectual, whiny and resigned to their fate. He really is perfect for them.
