Jimbo's Journey to A&M with the media:
"Who do they think they are, Jimbo is out of their league, and FSU is a national powerhouse...."
"Well, the Ags can talk to him, but likely, Jimbo will play this for an extenstion/raise. Ags should be happy with ______ (anybody but Jimbo)".
"The Ags are going to pay WHAT?!?! That's insane. Jimbo is making a HUGE mistake here."
<Aggies sign Jimbo at this point. Fantastic speech by Jimbo at reception in Aggieland>
<Media silence for a week as they upchuck and bite back on it>
"Jimbo left FSU in shambles because of his poor recruiting."
"Aggies might have gotten Jimbo, but FSU is the winner here because they are getting Willie Taggart. Willie is a great recruiter and will fix the mess Jimbo left as FSU."
"Aggies clearly overpaid. They would have gotten a better deal long run with _________ (fill in whoever got hired by anyone else in that time frame).
And here we are. Now, because the "media" never wants to be wrong. "Jimbo is a great fit at Aggieland, and they are headed in a great direction and a power in the SEC." Finally, the media got it right.
