Texas Derangement syndrome. (TDS)

Aggy musings. 

Let's go back to a few years , Aggy has just learned that they have been betrayed by the SEC and that evil Texas has been invited and is going to be a new member of the Southeastern conference. In response aggy panics,  screaming they had been promised to be the only Texas team in the conference. The howling is so sever that in retaliation they decide to spend Elon Musk type money to sign the highest rated class (2022) of all time just to beat the sips. 

Mercenary magic didn't work, Jimbo gone, Elko in!

Fast forward to 2026. After losing the first two games vs Texas by double digits each with conference titles on the line and with two of their better teams. This time around they have to rebuild and are once again spending like a drunk sailor. #1 class, lots of 5 star hs recruits and should top what some have said too be more that 50 mil in NIL with hopes of stopping the bleeding and the day drinking. Gerry mentioned recently what life might look like in BCS for Elko if they go 0-3 vs the Longhorns. But I digress!

Lets move to baseball shall we. 

Two years ago aggy is on the verge of a championship at the CWS. They come up short vs Tenn in the deciding game and two days later see their coach head to Austin to work for his friend CDC. Oh what a betrayal !! Wailing and nashing of teeth follow. Then aggy has to empty the bank account to keep key players from following Schloss to UT. BTW, did I mention that with those very expensive players they failed to make the NCAA tournament in year one and then looked uninterested a few weeks ago, getting crushed by USC in a home regional.

Now, they are really big mad and going to get us back, running the table with big money for Football NIL to be #1 and today getting Cain to come back to the Brazos bottom for a big raise. Boy did they stick it to Texas !

A wise man once said, the aggy's don't want to just beat Texas. They want to BE Texas! 

They have Texas Derangement Syndrome (TDS) and I don't think its going to get better soon! There is no cure!

Thoughts?

I think they’re trying every way they know how to win and be relevant. But sometimes it’s more simple and straightforward.

Recruit the best, hire the best coaches then get after it. And sometimes you need a little good fortune along the way.

The law of large numbers tells us that they will beat us here and there, but even if they do, they will never be us.

Took the words from me, and wrote it better than I would have.

From my FB memories this morning. Thought it was fitting 🤣

I didn’t read what Jerry wrote yet but beating Aggie this year would make Elmo 0 and 3 against Texas with 2 losses in College Station. I think this might be his worst team in 3 years. (Still top 25 though) . It would be a huge meltdown in CS and Elko will not look like the guy anymore to Aggie fans.

Bobby, it seems aggy relevance has always been defined by obsession to have what Texas has and they don't.
