Crying over racists monuments. I think your monuments should stay if you're okay with black athletes not attending your Alma Mater?

Sure seems like we're doing all right in recruiting. Almost like they don't care as much about this as you think?
(Also, it is not a "racist monument").
I'm half convinced this is just a troll someone is playing around with because these posts are so ridiculous.

I don't necessarily fall in the "You have to have an Ag Tag" camp.
But when a poster has 7 posts since February of 2019...... and 5 of those are railing on A&M on this thread.... yeah, I'm going to get a little suspicious and not put a whole lot of weight into their argument.

How much of a fan would you be if we were dead last in every sport?
And I will preemptively call BS if you say you would be just as much of one as if we weren't.
I was a student through some pretty rough seasons. And we still filled the stadium and did not leave until the last second ticked off the clock. Our loyalty was not tied to W-L record.

That's funny, because the last game I attended was LSU '18 and people were leaving at a great clip going into the final drive in regulation.

The QB and even the AD will be gone at some time. Ol' Ag support will always be there. But maybe a pull back of support is needed now to get some corrections done.

I think it's pretty darn obvious he's not talking about 2018.

Do you really think that younger and younger people that become QBs and future ADs are going to tow the line for the "old ags"?
There are clearly other societal pressures out there besides the threat that old generation Ags will withhold donations that may actually outweigh those withheld donations.

At the time of hire, I'd argue Fran, Sherman and Sumlin were all pretty big time hires. Had we not moved on them each would have gone to other top power 5 destinations.

The alumni need to shut down all support. Do not even show up on campus for anything academically, a banquet, all sports, etc. In fact do not even spend a dime in Bryan of CS. They are run by liberals also. Flush the commode.

Heck TU would have jumped all over Sumlin over Strong had timing been different - and how satisfied do you think they are with Herman today by the way? How does a program like Texas end up with someone named Herman anyways??
Truth is there haven't been many proven A+ coaching hires on the market for years now (could argue otherwise for a short list like Smart) and no one has been able to lure away the Saban's of the world, even for programs with more recent success than A&M. How is Florida state looking? Michigan, even though they got their man? Notre Dame?
I'd argue our admin has largely been swinging for the fences for years now, getting the best available for the most part, especially with the Jimbo hire and stadium renovations. I also still think Jimbo can get us where we want to go

As we can attest, there's something more to winning national titles than hiring the best coaches. If that's all it took, we would have won at least one since 1998. I'd even argue the one in 1998 was a fluke. All those programs you listed have had national titles since 1998, save Michigan.
Something else is wrong with A&M football, and our blind loyalty to the program has covered it up for too long.
