How can AM suck this bad?

My aggy friend who has been everyone of their home games just told me that they will beat oklahoma state, make a bowl, and could possibly win 8 games. He said ou was their only sure loss. I told him they just beat the worst team in the country by 4 points. He responded with Arkansas isn't very good and it is better than losing to the worst team in the country. He also said it shows how his team can overcome adversity and Fran. That dang Fran must be still coaching there.

How can aggy suck this bad?

1. Recruiting. Even gomers have electricity and TV's now, and "how 'ya gonna keep um down on the farm?" applies - very few good players want to live in the back woods for 4 or 5 years.

2. The Corpse (and that spelling is on purpose). All of those wierd traditions and ceremonies turn off potential players, too (see #1, above).

3. Coaching. You get what you pay for. And when you are still paying off a couple of previous coaching staffs, there ain't much left in the till - and the boosters want the power to hire if they are going to give the big bucks.

4. $Bill. He has no clue. One of the worst AD's in the country.

5. Collie Station. The land time forgot. When a trip to the Dixie Chicken is the highlight of your week (now that the Chicken Ranch has closed), there is definitely an entertainment gap that will keep a lot of good players looking elsewhere.

6. "Little brother" syndrome. It is worse than the normal "mine is bigger than yours" envy - aggy sucks because of their total infatuation with everything great that The University of Texas represents. An inferiority complex that big leads to all sorts of psych problems, including dog worship, grabbing your genitals in public, etc.

7. And aggy sucks just because that is what aggy does best!
