DCTF can EAD!

So maybe there are larger issues with ex-tu or current tu students/employees that is more symptomatic than just DCTF?

Maybe tu is starting to head down a road where they are encouraging this kind of behavior?

Mutual Friend –
I understand what you are saying about bias in all news outlets; however, there is a critical distinction between DCTF and the others you mention.

The rest of the media outlets, as biased as they may be, do not work for tu. tu pays DCTF/IMG (IMG has owned and published DCTF since 2007 I believe) to handle some of their sports marketing.

That puts DCTF/IMG in a completely different category than the others, yet they deceptively portray themselves as "the bible of Texas Football". They are not only biased, they have a specific conflict of interest as a paid marketing group for only some of the universities in Texas. They likely have incentives or commitments built in for promoting tu’s brand x number of times per issue.

Even as biased as ESPN appeared to be last year in promoting the LHN launch to recoup the money they threw into the tu toilet, it is important to note that they were paying tu, not the other way around.

I still visit the other sites you mention and always try to understand the biases for and against the Aggies no matter what I'm reading. I would encourage others to do the same. However, with DCTF, I believe it is actually deceptive business practices equivalent to what Rivals does with recruiting rankings. They work for tu; therefore, they will not get any of my money and they shouldn't get it from other Aggies careful about where their money goes to support.

just a little bump for anybody going out to buy DCTF soon.

Damnit! I just bought the magazine. I'd forgotten about that incident.

The story about Manziel switching his committment on Page 2 is swell!

The last line in that article is gold.

Eff that rag

I remember this as a classic example of Texags posters having no sense of humor and melting down in fear and loathing at the drop of a hat.

As it should be..

And so it begins...

No.
And so it continues .....

The winter issue with Manziel was the top-selling winter issue for DCTF.

I would not be surprised if the Manziel regular issue is a top seller or close to it.

DCTF will just follow the money and a winning A&M football program means more money compared to any other winning Texas football program not named tu.
