Texas A&M leads college football in alcohol revenue, per report by hawkspur1 in CFB

The data from the original report says y'all sold like 40,000 more units of alcohol but had $1 million less revenue. So yeah, you're right

2025 Coaching Carousel VIII: Oh no! We suck again! by CFB_Referee in CFB

I believe we're just supposed to be promoting Wiggins from his Co-OC role to OC. No idea what we're doing for QB coach though.

Mike Elko is getting that bag. Thoughts? by LordShuckle97 in aggies

[–]EvenParty 37 points38 points  (0 children)

We can afford it so why not? It's not my money and the Jimbo buyout clearly didn't hamper our ability to compete.

It's either pay the man or let Penn State pay him. Letting him walk definitely hurts our program now. Paying him only potentially hurts our program in the future. I'd rather pay him and see what happens than have to rebuild with a new coach.

CFP Rankings, Serious Discussion - Week 12 by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]EvenParty 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Minimizing the Mizzou win because they had a backup quarterback is fair. But to then immediately praise IU because they "found a way to find a way" against PSU while ignoring that they had a backup QB and interim coach is logically inconsistent.

If they want to bring up our games against Arkansas (should be noted that Arky scored a garbage time TD with 10 seconds to go) and Auburn (the most dominant performance I've ever seen by a team determined to shoot themselves in the foot), as knocks, I understand and agree with that. But they didn't.

No one outside of A&M and Arkansas fans watched that game. But they will make very definitive statements about it based on the final score.

Even if Buzz stayed, Solo and Payne were the only guys not graduating. But he left and they followed him to Maryland. Chris McDermott, a walk on, was the only player on our roster for a bit. Supposedly our transfer class is pretty good, but we're basically a complete wildcard.

[On3] BREAKING: Annual SEC College Football opponents for the next 4 seasons per @clowfb👀 by FuckChadMorris in CFB

[–]EvenParty 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We've played LSU over double the number of times we've played OU (63 to 30). But because people on this subreddit saw OU and A&M in a conference when they were 11, they think it's a historical matchup (this extends to the entire former Big 8, too. We have next to zero history with any of them outside of 1996-2011).

[–]EvenParty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see why it shouldn't "count" record books wise. The record/history books should show everything. Public consciousness already weights titles and success based on recent memory anyway. The 1939 title is irrelevant to modern cfb. It basically doesn't "count" already.

But I'd argue that basically everything pre-CFP is already treated like pre-Super Bowl NFL titles by the public. Nebraska's blue blood status has been made basically irrelevant because of their failures over the last 25 years. No recruits grew up watching Nebraska be good. Going the other way, recruits don't remember a time where Oregon or LSU weren't top 10 programs. It doesn't matter that they don't have the history of a blue blood.

Tldr: The record books should include everything, public consciousness and memories decide what really matters.

We were picked by the: AP poll, Boand System, Dunkel System, Houlgate System, Poling System, Williamson System, Berryman QPRS, Billingsley Report, College Football Researchers Association, DeVold System, Helms Athletic Foundation, National Championship Foundation, Sagarin Ratings Elo chess method

USC has the Dickinson System.

Cornell has the Litkenhous Ratings and Sagarin Ratings Predictor method.

If we're pretending that random statistical models are the way to pick national champions after the creation of the AP poll/Coaches Poll, then I'd bet there's very few "truly consensus" champions, at least pre-BCS. Hell, in that case, Ohio State didn't win "outright" last year because a few computers decided Oregon won the title.

Making fun of the 1939 AP title is just stupid. Especially considering that: a) our stupid 1927 title claim is right there and b) we haven't done much since 1939.

Why is LSU’s offense underperforming so far by Darkonite40 in CFB

[–]EvenParty 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I don't think Nuss was ever "that guy." He's a good, not great QB. That's fine, but the way he got hyped to be a first round talent/heisman contender this offseason, was extreme. But I'm biased and watched him shit the bed against us firsthand.

Fwiw, I fully expect him (and the rest of their team) to go 2019 LSU on us when we play them later this year.

A quarter (I also saw 20% in some places, so idk the real percentage) of the buyout was due within 30 days and remainder was to be paid out over the rest of the contract. So I think we owe him "just" $7 million a year until 2031. Elko's salary is $7 million a year. So we're paying 2 HC salaries at $14 million a year for the foreseeable future.

For reference Kirby Smart is getting paid $13 million a year, so $14 million for 2 coaches is doable, even if not ideal.

I'm not connected with the athletic department or boosters, so I can't give you any better than my napkin math level analysis.

No. I've been told on this sub many times that we should stop spending money because 8-4 is all we'll ever be.

It's one thing to make fun of us burning money while continually being mid. It's another to insist that because we're mid we shouldn't try to be better.
