Trouble in Paradise?

et,

Your post reminds me of the interview when a reporter asked Jack Pardee why he chose to play for A&M. He came from 6-man football, visited A&M, and stayed. He said he was a small-town farm boy, got to College Station where they gave him all he could eat, a comfortable bed, and free clothes. He said he was too dumb to know that the "free clothes" were an army uniform.

More aggy gold. I'd tell the guy, we're not that way with everyone; just you guys and BlowU.

11-1 or 8-4 and who are the delusional fans?

No social media. A lot of this has to do with performing for a large audience that is a large distance away from the performers. If you did this on camera, you would do it differently.

Yes, but explain the air grabbing and flouncing.

Also, the hay seed mcs in labelled overalls really need better writers for their material.

That can be explained as well. Entertainment is typically written and/or performed for the lowest common denominator of the audience. Given the typical aggy in the audience, you have a very low level of sophistication to work with. In context, one may say the material provided is quite Shakespearean as far as the audience is concerned.

In that case, the Wiggles would be above their heads.
 
I actually thought maybe the generation in school or just out of aggy&m would move away from the cult. But if you look at the crowd at their ritual they look mostly young.

This is Cult 101
- Get 'em while they're young and dumb
- indoctrinate into a false feeling of superiority with agricultural groupthink by the charismatic overall-wearin' yell boys (whoop)
- pressure them to recruit others
- Us vs Them mentality - t.u. = BAD! (Cf. Nietzsche's Slave Morality)
- discourage questioning of the collective, or independent thinking of any kind
- ***** dog mascot
- embrace BAS (Battered Aggy Syndrome)

That description is very George Orwell Animal Farm-ish and very accurate. Kinda scary in fact 😬

Just watched my aggy neighbor hanging his aTm flag on his porch. I yelled across the street 'Loyalty in the face of massive disappointment, that's to be applauded!' He yells back 'Hey sip, do you know what they call an aggy 5 years after he graduates?' I've been around a couple of years and I know the punchline to that joke is 'They call him Boss'.

But I couldn't help but answer back 'A sad, disillusioned clown still waiting on a football trophy and dreaming of jizz jars atop a bonfire?'

He instructed me to do something to myself that is anatomically impossible and walked back in the house.

Met a nice Baylor couple last night at a party with an HS freshmen same age as our oldest. After the wine was flowing, I let the Dad know about the semen containers - needless to say there was ridicule and laughter.

The couple would prefer their daughter go to Baylor, but UT was a highly favorable alternative. :bevo::bevo::bevo:

Actually, that's wrong. They did ok but leave it to overzealous authoritarian aggys to panic. Their program was not in good shape and still needs repair after several years under a huge fraud who made his name by buying/recruiting significantly more talent than all but one or two teams on his schedule. He just threw talent out there with high school schemes and coasted to one and two loss seasons... until he ran into teams with almost as much talent.
 
Jimmy,

No offense, but I really don't think you understand A&M. A very few with very large egos have sought "glory" by "saving" Aggie. Some were good guys (Claytie Williams) and some were egomaniacal near tyrants (Bum Bright) and lots of minor players in between.

In my lifetime, they have had only three really good to great coaches - Emory, RC, Jackie, and they fought amongst themselves for power and recognition:

Emory was not fired, he found out that certain BMDs were negotiating independently to find his replacement, so he resigned, saying privately that he didn't want to be "where he wasn't wanted".

RC was the perfect coach for Aggie and is the most beloved of all since Dana X Bible. Great guy, quality coach, but he couldn't control the alums payment structure. (Understand that I've known RC for decades, had great conversations with him and really nasty conversations with him.) I've always said that RC and Scott Hill were the "kings of kidnappers".

Jackie is a great coach, mostly an *******, and cheated his *** off everywhere he went. He organized and unionized the Aggies, then beat us four years in a row. The BMDs (same people that hired him) were convinced A&M was going to get the death penalty and Jackie had to go. Come on, how much learnin' can you cram into a kid during a three hour plane ride when he's doing math and reading on a third grade level. Jackie said from his second week in Brazos County that A&M was a sleeping giant that had to be awakened and organized.

Since those three, Aggie has been a revolving door of neverwas wannabes with the decision makers having no clue whom to call to get the truth about their "next coach". Be assured they are out on the streets running around looking for Elko's replacement.

I don't see anything, at all, that contradicts what I wrote.

There is NOTHING special about any particular generation in this country or any other country. The generational crap is political brainwashing and "divide and conquer" tactics and marketing.

Human nature does not change. The economy and the times and conditions change.
