Locally I can confirm aggie misery is at a tempest level. Normally the spin has the ags ready to battle back but that offense was so abysmal they are talking QB or OC change. Elko seems to still be in the clear as he speaks English which is a nice refresh from Jimbo. Also sentiment seems to be that Wigman is a Wig -ger which seems very on brand

Where's A&M? /s

I'm interested in how the staff manages their workloads. When does baseball practice trump football off-season work? How does Torre becton manage physical development? There have been several recruitment where Texas not wanting two sport athletes has been mentioned as a reason they committed elsewhere.(Taylor Tatum) I think it was mentioned that Brenen Thompson had issues running track and plying football before transferring. Maybe things have changed around the 40

Aggies having to boycott Wranglers, NCAA 2025, and Dr. Pepper.

Hope he comes back strong

What about Malik Agbo as a situational big back. I'm talking 4th and 1 or maybe goal line.

Would have lost to colt and the gang too if voters valued head to head wins over style points. Still a little bitter about that one.

Most expensive hotel room for sure

So is this political infighting within the university? Academic administration battling with athletics? Or does the historical committee really think this building is worth preserving?

I wish both of them the best of luck moving forward

I agree. He put up a post showing some of the outside training he has been doing that looked impressive

TexAgs is a weird place, kind of like a reddit just for aggies. I can be really fun place to see meltdowns or hot takes that are nowhere based in reality. The funny thing is most folks in town believe what they read on the site. You normally have to bring actual reporting for them to pause and consider that maybe user: Ag2023Natty doesn't know the amount of NIL a recruit was paid or if an opposing player is homosexual. I think Lucci is constantly telling ags what they want to hear, for better or worse.

Is it too soon to pick them dead last in the Big Ten?

I'm surprised by this. I thought there was concern about lowering the scholarship limit in a cost cutting maneuver. Adding 20 scholarships means at least one more scholarship at every position. Does this mean the blue bloods will take an increased percentage of top recruits or that more schools will go hard at one or two top recruits with the focus being playing time.

Getting Elon invested in Texas football would be an absolute game changer. Not sure he cares much about sports though. I can't speak about Twitter / X but my Tesla works great and Starlink is awesome.

I don't follow college baseball very closely. How quickly do high-school players adjust to the college game? I know football players typically need time to get bigger and stronger but that seems less important in baseball.

That's about how I see it too. Although I don't think the georgia game will go well if we lose in the cotton bowl. I like Texas's chances in Ann Arbor but of your critical 4, OU and A&M are the must win games imo.

Advertising on refs clothing is a risky brand strategy. "Come on throw the flag, what are you too busy drinking duncan donuts coffee!" "Use the preparation H to get the stick of your butt ref, that was holding!" Imagine all the negative feelings you would have towards doritos after Kevin Mar spent 12 minutes trying to decide a targeting call on your star safety.

This was good timing by Arch. Adds even more interest in the game. Makes you wonder if this was the plan the whole time. Hearing reports he earned a cool $50k for that little comercial

I am lighting fireworks if he announces Texas!

https://www.secrant.com/rant/sec-football/perhaps-duke-fans-can-offer-aggie-some-pointers-on-recovering-from-having-a-coach-stolen/113907583/ Link is to another site where, helpfully, someone laid down Mike Elko’s quotes about staying at Duke the day before leaving on a plane in the middle of the night. Every single Aggie I have spoken with has said the same thing. I wouldn’t be mad except he lied in that press conference. I called BS on them and brought up that every fan base gets mad if the coach leaves for a better job. Shloss could have sang the Aggie war hymn and then politely informed them he was taking his talents to Austin and the outrage would be exactly the same. If Lincoln Riley had explained point blank that he would rather get paid more to coach in an easier conference in beautiful climate OU would still hate his guts. It just stinks, take the L and move on.

I like having Bo on staff and thought his development of players was great. Coburn, Ojomo, Sweat, and Murphy all raved about him. That being said he did leave a hole in the roster. LSU is a strong program so he still has a lot to offer despite not being at Texas. I hope Kenny Baker is a great replacement but Bo has more skins on the wall.

Appalachian state didnt think so

I'm still here waiting for the screenshots of burner phone calls and the pending NCAA investigation /s

This is hilarious. The other guys halfway think she is joking and she is dead serrious. I don't know if the rest of the world really understands the aggies.
