An Aggie Joke Wrote Itself Again

[Aikbach]

The whole justification of leaving the Big12, to hear Aggies tell it, was to get greater revenue, right?

Well....

I'm not even sure what the point of this thread is. If the insinuation is that the article you posted is in some way indicative of a financial shortfall of our move to the SEC then you never understood that aspect of the move in the first place. The venue for the A&M/Arkansas game has literally nothing to do with the financial benefits of the SEC.

If you already knew this, then you're simply wasting bandwidth.

[The30YardSlant]

A&M receives more in private donations and generates more revenue in a year than Baylor does in a decade. Only three athletic programs in the country generate more annual revenue.

Again, what the hell is the point of this thread? To poke fun at mean old "aggy"? You got us good my friend.

Wah, wah, wah a state school that hordes oil revenue is now talking trash to a private school a fifth it's size that out performs it, wah, wah, wah.

You yourself cited revenue as the reason to go to the SEC, now your incredulous argument is to say you've got plenty of money and it doesn't matter, wah, wah, wah.

The financial benefits are due to the revised television deal that the SEC is going to get this summer, which is expected to be the largest contract in the history of network broadcasting. Each SEC program is expected to get a cut in excess of $30 million ANNUALLY, which is over $10 million more then we would have received each year in the Big XII. If you combined that money with the revenue and donations A&M received this athletic year A&M will theoretically be pulling down more total revenue than every athletic program except Florida.

So I ask again, what is your point here?

The reality is in the headlines, A&M screwed the pooch and you are playing damage control and spinmeister as always, never has a single forecast you prognosticate come to pass.

He had 150+ students in his English Comp classes. What do you expect?Great smack talk, let's throw in some basic arithmetic, this will go beyond counting the fingers and toes they probably taught you at A&M, so try to keep up. Those obscene class sizes are the the problem of overflowing state schools, not a private university with 18 to 1 student/ faculty ratio.

That's all? Hell, every A&M fan alive expected us to get killed by the headlines long before the move was announced as final. Did ANYONE honestly believe the media would cast this move in a positive light? I certainly didnt know anyone who thought it would go down like.

UT is the straw that stirs the drink in the eyes of the media in this state. I can't fathom a situation in which we wouldnt have been made out to be the bad guy in all of this.

[The30YardSlant]

We're not even officially in the SEC until next June, and regardless your logic is flawed.

[The30YardSlant]

Did it ever occur to you that A&M is reamed for it's stupidity because it acts stupid? Something to ponder.

Our administration felt the lack of program stability within the Big XII, as well as the prospect of a better television deal with increased revenue, was reason enough to change conferences. Everything else is just banter between fanbases.

Had the SEC come calling in Waco, Baylor wouldnt have been able to sign on the dotted line fast enough and don't you doubt it for a second. I read more than a few threads on that baylorfans site BEGGING Starr to try and hitch his wagon to A&M to the SEC, and who could blame them? The Big XII appeared ready to go under and they were at risk of being left out in the cold. How can you in good faith sit here and blame us for a move your program and most others in the country would have jumped at the chance for?

[cowboyeric8]

Dude Aikbach, what the hell is your problem? Serious question. You act like a jealous kid.

I have no affiliation to either school, and I'm not a fan of A&M. But man, get over it.

Why "Hitler Youth",I might ask? Just curious.

3% of the student body is in the corps and we're less ethnically diverse than UT, so we're essentially the equivalent of Nazi Germany. It's what passes for humor in certain places.

I have to agree. As annoying as 30yard is with the A&M stuff I think Aikbach is even worse.

ERRRRR, i love aggie jokes like any orange blooded longhorn, and love making fun of them as much as possible, so i appreciate the efford, but this thread makes no sense, all the article talks about is one game! in a city with little ties to both schools!

if anything they should move the game to houston

Not very bright to seek a venue they cant sell, apparently attendance peaked at 66k, even Baylor vs Texas tech fetched 72k at the same stadium...in 2009 when neither team was hot

[Cythim]

Poor TAMU only made $7.1 million over two years for a non-conference matchup. This is more money than most bowl games pay out each year, woe are they!

That's what I thought he meant but didn't have the cajones to say it.I'm not an Aggie,but highly respect the school and the Corp. Have, and had,a lot of friends who served with me who were Corp members. Seems to be a sign of the times again.<rant off>

I used to have a family that lived across the street that called themselves gypsies, seemed nice enough to me. Are gypsies not allowed in the service academies or Virginia Tech?

Texas A&M-Baylor: All-Time Record
68-31-9 63.0%LOL, A&M's greatest success came in the 80s under the scandalous reign of Jackie Sherrill who narrowly avoided giving A&m the death penalty due to political wheeling and dealing that saved their butt, in fact so grievous are A&M's cheating infractions that they rank among the 10 most marred athletic departments in the NCAA's history.

http://www.associatesdegree.com/2011/03/08/10-most-corrupt-college-athletic-programs/

But despite their penchant for bending the rules and proclaiming each new coach a savior they quickly fall back into mediocrity, they have won less than Baylor in the last four years and have identical records to Baylor in four of the last nine seasons, hardly any envy.

No one envies A&M, the fact you are ignorant of them is partially a blessing but don't interject yourself in something you know nothing about.

That line makes me laugh, especially when you keep trying to push that Sherrill brought TAMU its greatest success. While digging up all of TAMU's trash why don't you tell us about the trouble Baylor's basketball program got into and the harsh penalties they received. Nothing is as disgraceful as that basketball program had become.

His football team has done well this year. The QB just won the highest award in college football. The men's and women's basketball teams are ranked. ATM is gone to the SEC.

Yet instead of talking about the good things with his team and the happiness that the big old bad ATM are out of the big 12....he chooses to whine about ATM every chance he gets.

Reminds me of a tattoo I seen once. A skins fan has a tattoo of a Cowboys Star on his arm with a big red circle around it and a slash through it. I thought to myself...this guy could have just got a tattoo of the redskins logo but instead he hates another team more than he loves his own team.

I've attacked no personal poster nor fan, I've made light of aggie hubris because it is amusing because it repeatedly comes back to bite them, i was content to post the article and let it be read, the three pages of comments that followed just goes to show aggies are sensitive about their perception.

But no active Baylor student has ever drawn a sword and had to be restrained from murdering a cheerleader on tv, that much i take pride in.

You want to talk about being under someone's skin, TAMU is constantly under yours and its obvious with how much you constantly talk about them unprovoked. You aren't under my skin, I'm just pointing out your hypocrisy and laughing at you for being so butt hurt at being 4th fiddle in Texas college athletics.

Hmmm, no i posted an article, you wrote claims of envy in response. It was news, relevant to fans here. How am i butt hurt about some organization i tease for their hubris and delusions of grandeur? Thanks for proving the point.

The "fourth fiddle' is the best athletic program in the state at the present time, top ranked out of all, when you default to claims of "butt hurt' you only reveal who's rear end is actually raw.

Your unranked and isolated A&M Aggies who just don't have much going for them right now despite all the hubris of four months ago, and i'm making light of that.

Whoever made the nazi comments was out of line, but as witnessed by people who like to link heinous murder by a deranged kicked out of school student to run of the mill cheating, there's some serious thin skin issues.

In the last month of the season Aggies lost to all the ranked teams Baylor beat so it's water off a duck to try and play that card.

And thanks for the well wishes, Art Briles is a QB guru having recruited kevin Kolb, RG3 and Case Keenum back to back, if RG3 doesn't return they'll have someone pretty good ready to go.

Sadly, you couldn't even take the article in context. The game wasn't losing money, it just wasn't making as much as either university expected to make. It still has a bigger payout than the Alamo Bowl, go figure. TAMU wants to cancel the neutral site because the SEC does not allow teams to take recruits to neutral site games. The game was about recruiting Dallas and that doesn't work if you cannot take Dallas kids to the game.

The murder happened because of the culture being fostered by the basketball coach. If drugs and guns hadn't been a common part of the basketball program in those days the murder would not have happened.

QFT.

The Redskins are to the NFL and Dallas Cowboys as the Aggies are to Texas Football.

The Aggies are a mid-tier program. There's nothing wrong with that. However what makes the Aggies worthy of scorn is their fans' overinflated egos and undeserved attitudes of self-worth. They seem to think that they are a top-tier program, and this simply isn't the case. Maybe a few decades ago it was, but that time has LOOOOONG passed.

BTW, I have a completely unbiased opinion on this matter. I have no ties and am not a fan of any particular college team.

i tease the incompetence of the administration and the hubris of the fanbase, and it gets a rise, i don't repent.

That's fine. But you do talk about the Aggies a lot which is what I brought up.

If 30yard had something obsessive about Baylor I would call him out as well.

It doesn't bother me a bit if TAMU loses every game next year. I didn't go there.

The murder happened because of the culture being fostered by the basketball coach. If drugs and guns hadn't been a common part of the basketball program in those days the murder would not have happened.Hmmm hmm, whatever you think will be a tit for tat argument that distracts from the Aggie delusions of grandeur being poked fun of.

Speaking of basketball corruption:

I posted one article and i teased aggies during their seasonal hubris, there are a lot here so they will come up in the course of a season.

You aren't under my skin, I'm just pointing out your hypocrisy and laughing at you for being so butt hurt at being 4th fiddle in Texas college athletics.

Is this how you would rank them?:

1) Texas
2) Texas Tech
3) Texas A&M
4) Baylor

[Cythim]

LOL, the fact is nothing Aggies expect comes to pass, it was just another example.

The NYT even posted an article showing A&M stands to actually take in up to 2 million less annually than they did in the Big 12.

Enjoy your off season, retool your team and learn to laugh at yourself on occasion.

I've been laughing ever since Slocum was canned to be honest, but you are too busy bashing TAMU to ever see that. I absolutely hate the way the president and reagents interfere with the athletics department and continually driving the school toward mediocrity. Byrne knows what he is doing if the other clowns would leave him to it. The TAMU athletic program has dramatically increased their national championship count under Byrne but I fear that will be going away soon.

As for the NYT article, I haven't read it and don't really care. I didn't want to move to the SEC but it is happening and I'll embrace it.

And five pages later you become a good sport, you know i don't attack you, i've encouraged you even in the past. When/ if A&m pulls out of their barrel roll or adopts a culture of greater humility about themselves it will make their rebound to competitiveness all the sweeter.

i just hope the humility comes first because the lack there of it is why they're lampooned.

I become a good sport, right. I've said this a few times on these boards and you always ignore it to continue your bashing. You are intellectually dishonest and only care to bash TAMU or thump your Baylor chest. Actually talking sports without insult or pride is beyond you.

Ding ding ding and what is funny is I like Baylor and dislike ATM but with fans like this guy it might not take too long to get annoyed by all things baylor because of his nature.

What is most sad is he is TAMU on these forums. He brags when he has nothing to brag on, he bashes needlessly, and he pretends to be the one taking the high road when he is the one dragging another school through the mud. The envy is so obvious to everyone but him. I love him, he brings meaning to Baylor games.

It went 6 pages because everyone is laughing at your pathetic attempts at taking jabs at TAMU. There is nothing in the article worth ribbing over. Oh no, TAMU only earned $2.9 million for a non-conference game. You are making fun of a school for profiting from a non-conference game instead of paying North Texas for a win, go you!

[Cythim]

Dishonest? Please show the dishonesty, you may not like what I've said but nothing has been untruthful.

The premise of the article is that TAMU is cancelling the game in Dallas because of money when the real reason is recruiting. Cowboys Stadium and Arkansas still want the game in Dallas but TAMU would rather host the game every other year so they can invite recruits to watch. This entire thread is based on dishonest reporting.

So you claim the article is dishonest and therefore launch the ad hominem attack that I have no intellectual integrity because you dislike the journalism, nice gymnastics.

Hmmm, nope, just not so, most people have giggled at the article and moved on, only the defensive aggies have felt assaulted.

You could've let the article come and go instead you got on your typical 'everyone is jealous of us" soap box and incited some real laughs.

Yeah, except Brainpaint and many of the others who are laughing at you are not Aggies.

You should too.

You read an article and ran with a lie without bothering to check up on it because you liked what it had to say. You are either intellectually dishonest or simply lack intelligence.
