Trouble in Paradise?

More idiocy about contracts. Folks (fans) are literally brain-dead when it comes to contracts.

Without knowing anything, let me speculate what is happening:
1/ aggy slips a one-sided contract past their stupid players because they see the players as a means to an end (i.e., beat Texas).
2/ Texas informs our smart players what is in the contract because they see the players as partners in the program.

Clear?
 
The good news is that the Aggies have 21 inbound transfers Ranking # 1 in inbound talent. The bad news is they needed to recruit 21 mostly 3 star transfers.
 
Where do the Aggies buy their silly, military outfits?

I’m thinking of dressing up a couple of my friends and taking a video of them guarding an Elmer’s glue, mock-up of the crusty, satanic jar.

Also want to make a video of my friends in uniform attacking a cannon.

Like the Aggies once attacked Old Smokey. One of the burlier Cowboys badly beat that Aggie after he brandished his sword. Sword goes flying in the air. And 70,000 longhorn fans roared in laughter.

it was hands down the funniest thing I’ve ever seen

I can’t remember the year…late seventies or early eighties.

That was altogether a greater, nationwide Aggie embarrassment. I searched and there’s nothing on the Old Smokey attack and resulting pummeling…it happen earlier. I thought some older posters might remember the game and date.

I really don’t mind you calling me a ladies undergarment, Brah. :yes: I like those pointy coned shaped ones myself

Aggy did bring in some 4* in that bunch.

2024 Transfer Football Team Rankings

Eight 4* is impressive but When you bring in thirteen 3* you better have a good handle on how to apply those 3*, or have a great staff to get the most out of them. Those 3* are taking up spaces you couldn't fill in recruiting and/ or retention, basically.

Ou has the same issue. They're losing #s when it comes to 4* in rankings. More leaving than coming in.

I've never fully bought into rankings on recruiting, but look at our NC teams. The worster bunch. The Vy bunch that ranked #1. They produced hardware. Fred's first 5 recruiting yrs were awesome, so were the results. Recruiting matters

While I don't remember any "attack" on Smokey, I do remember the Aggies being able to ban Smokey from Kyle Field by claiming the concussion from Smokey was causing the water pipes in Kyle Field to burst. The Ags then brought in their field artillery that caused pipes in Snook to burst.

There was an incident before the 1977 game in the South end zone between the corp and the Cowboys & Spurs. The Corp tried to prevent Smokey & Bevo from being anywhere in the stadium. (In those days, visiting fans were in the lower bowl, Southeast corner.) The DPS was trying to force our people to move. I got in the middle of it and told the DPS Captain that Kyle Field was a State building at a State University, on State property, and he nor none of his Gestapo were going to remove nor prevent Smokey, Bevo, and least of all The Lone Star flag from walking into, around, or participating at Kyle Field. Fortunately, Dr Williams (president of A&M) arrived to save my *** and escort me to the locker room.

I had the privilege of attending the Aggie victory party after the game where Dr Williams and I killed a limited edition bottle of Chivas. FWIW, it was a great "victory party" since we won 57-28.

That pregame featured an outstanding pregame speech by Fred in which he briefly mentioned the confrontation outside, and then said, "the Aggies have already done all they know how to do - march, hut, and holler; now we'll do what we do best and that's kick their ***"

I was there. The corps guy cut our flag from underneath it with his saber after they ran over him to open it. And, aggies let loose at midfield an armadillo that had been painted orange. Poor thing was wandering around on the field….

(…unless I’m mixing College Station games up in my old age)
 
I was at the '79 game at Kyle, and a group of fish (freshmen) snuck up and got around the Texas Cowboys and fired Smokey off in the north endzone. Startled the cowboys and croud laughed. What at awful day. Longhorn defense was awesome that year, but offense was bad.

The Aggies take their Corps gear seriously. Senior boots come special order and set you back a couple grand.

Are these boots made from the skin of an animal that's extinct or something?

When I was a senior in college, I sure didn't have that kind of dosh to drop on a pair of boots. Nor was I likely to drop that kind of money for some kind of GI Joe status symbol.

Cult gear...if you're in the cult you will find a way. Sell your soul if you must. Those boots & sabers were/are sacred icons to those guys.

The incident I’m talking about was in Austin. I’m surprised no one yet recalls it. I’ve only attended a hand full of home games

Earl clinched the Heisman that game with over 200 yards total offense and I believe he scored 4 touchdowns including a rare pass reception from Randy McEachern. I seem to recall that Lance Taylor (mb) got hurt and when we played ND in the Cotton Bowl they destroyed us running in between the tackles
In part because Taylor was missing. If we’d have won in Dallas we likely would have been voted number 1 in the nation.

Somehow earlier I posted this in SabreHorn's actual post. My apologies.

Everything is funny from the grammatical error to the fact there are aggy milkmen cheerleaders standing infield at a trackmeet to the comments telling OP he is a 2%er to others saying he must not be an aggy.
Good bull:clap:
 
"But distance races are the second most exciting sport ever"

Who are the yell leaders leading in a track meet? or even a basketball game?

That’s what aggy attempted in Austin…the stadium reverberated with belly laughter for a good 30 seconds. After the cowboy was done pummeling, that beaten Aggie had to pick up all his scattered gear and another roar erupted.
