Did the posters here influence our move to the SEC? Do we have any influence on coaching hires or recruits?

Just a wee bit curious on your thoughts!

Didn't someone just troll this recently? Several Texags posters have pulled weight over the years. Search my username to find the thread. I'm too lazy to do it for you.

Plus I outrank you by a lot!

Says the dwesh without an AgTag.... How can an Aggie troll his own alma mater?

It is a simple question...

If I request the removal of coach Good Times Sumlin, does it carry any weight?

Forums tend to have some push or pull.. probably mild and below the surface. Cause and effect, gents.

None. Hth

Now we're getting somewhere, thanks crew! So my next question is... What would it take for us to have more influence over the decision makers?

Is it that alums stop donating, buying season tickets, or doing research on guys like Sharp or that Wilson dude that run the show?

Like many Ags, I'm pissed that this is the best our University can do. I don't believe current leadership has our best interest at heart like Dr Loftin.

So, what can we d to influence decision makers?

Holy balls. Miller40 must be your sock or something. Calm the frick down.

If you know the right answer, why ask the question?

When it comes to a coaching change, probably 0.1%

When it came to the move to the SEC... I think social media played a huge part. While there is no shortage of people who want to take credit for deciding to move, the reality is the powers that be were too scared to do it, but the backlash they faced on social media (mainly sites like this and FB) after the first flirtation and decision to stay in the big 12 played a major role.

When the president of the university's Facebook wall is littered with the vitriol it was, that makes a major impact and helps move a lot of people from the fence towards a decision.

We are all aggies. We are one voice and collectively the university admin will hear our roar. Fire him now

If texags ever influences decisions, the athletic dept is more of an abortion than I thought.

The athletic department has nothing to do with coaching changes, hires, or fires at A&M.

Ok, it is more of an abortion than I thought. Morons with money having fun with their hobby run this place

Yes. Metallica's Sad But True is playing in my head while I type this.

None.....it's like political fly over country.

Texags has LOTS of influence. Remember the campaign to get rid of the bevel?

I know 2 former Ncaa football coaches and 3 Athletic Directors, and when discussing athletics and sports and Aggies they all told me that Texags is a well known site in athletic circles, and has been used in negative recruiting, especially as fans turn against coaches.

That's true at every big program, not just Texas A&M. College football is a toy for wealthy donors. You're just a fan.

Ours appear to be dumber than others.

I graduated from Plano Sr High in 90... Fighten Texas Aggie class of 94.. My daughter is currently a Junior at TAMU... So you can take your rank and shove it up your a$$.

However, if you'd like to make an intelligent response to my question, you're more than welcome to!

Chill....

I meant TexAgs status. I'm a Hall of Famer (Minimum Posts: 2000) while you are an All Star (Minimum Posts: 500).

I could tell you what my friends in low places knew, but then they'd have to kill me.

My friend, the BMAs live in their own little world removed from reality.

Every now and then they get a dose of it though. Like when they bring their family and friends into their luxury suite on Thanksgiving and hear disparaging comments about the team's performance. More than one BMA left their suite at half-time in disgust.

Why sit in a suite when you can spend the UTSA game on the sideline? It's a much better view. Though you do have to put up with Jimmy Turners potty mouth.

Zilch

To ex-Army types like myself, that is how Alpha males talk.

Apparently beta males feel threatened by it.

This board is for fanatics or fans - it holds no weight. People come here to *****. Occasionally some in the know folks come on here and share information but this board represents a small % of the fan base and for that I'm very thankful!

Our BMAs are definitely not intellectuals.

More like the Beverly Hillbillies.
