Or maybe players are facing an uncertain future so the sooner the hit the portal the sooner they can gauge their options should they decide to leave. Just entering the portal is not a guarantee they're leaving. Kinda like basketball players entering their name in the draft to see what the interest is in their talent level. If they don't see a better option they withdraw and come back to school. Just a thought.

Wow...we had a "good" corner? "Good" is clearly a relative term.... Next.

Sick of seeing the name Hayes Fawcett.

The new rules allow these players to see how much money they can make so I guess that's what they're going to do. College football used to be such a great sport.

Agree. Dump'em all. Selfish and entitled. Good riddance.

Looks like a lot of players who THOUGHT they worked hard enough and smart enough to become champions have figured out that Jimbo's regimen was a kindergarten class compared to what Elko is about to implement.

They're learning that NIL checks get bigger when donors are afraid they might leave.

Try this:

If the portal were a blind draft, and all you could see was a player's experience and production and position, would you go hard after a...

Cornerback
3 year starter
P5 level
2 career INTs


Would you?

---

Add this…

2.4 Solo Tackles/Game
1 Assist Tackle/Game
0.7 Passes Defended/Game
0.1 Interceptions/Game

How on earth can we possibly replace this corner production!!!

---

Exactly, this isn't a big loss at all. At worst we can easily find someone to replicate those numbers.

No stars.

Do not care.

Our new GM sure is doing a fantastic job.

---

Who is that?

---

That guy that was announced yesterday as our new GM.

Bad move by Tyreek. He's a baller and will be a starter on a better team that will compete for an SEC championship.

If we were just able to keep Chappell and grab another few proven corners out of the portal, then we would have been fine. Losing Chappell is something you COULDN'T do.

One Monkey don't steal the show!!

Once a player enters the portal, don't let them return. In 2021, almost half of those entertaining the portal were left without a team.

Realistically, you've got to look at it on a player by player basis. But, it'd be tempting to say, if you "test" the portal, we're pulling your scholarship and you're done at A&M

You will be in for a shock when you find out the players we get to join our team from the transfer portal also selfishly left their original team

I am sure we will but some players back. And i bet it will wash. But i say those who shake us down for more money can take a hike. Let'em all walk. Selfish non team guys.

We paid them a butt load and got mediocre results.

The hemorrhaging of players validates my canceling of YTTV. It feels like the last straw and closing a final chapter on what I choose to spend time on.

I enjoyed watching Texas Aggies represent Texas A&M.

I have no interest in sacrificing time and money on entitled entertainers.

Of course my comments may be seen as a ridiculous exaggeration by some, but it's the same reason I haven't watched professional sports in over a quarter of a century.

---

We fired our coach and entire staff, how did you think this was going to go?

---

I've seen enough coaching changes to know what we're witnessing is very much influenced by changes such as the transfer portal.

My comments from another thread:

Between NIL, transfer portal, and the continual push towards an absurd realignment, my interest has waned to the point that I canceled YTTV. For the first time I was unaware of games being played on Saturdays as well as the recent CFP selection.

Maybe it's due to age and other priorities, maybe a sense of watching history repeat itself after 25 years of mediocrity and time spent on numerous games that weren't even entertaining, but I do believe watching players bounce around, over the top bidding wars, and to a lesser extent, even the Kyle Field presentation are unappealing to me.

Commercials, certain rule changes, and extensive time for reviews have also contributed to my increasing lack of interest in college football in general.

But I do not begrudge players having increased opportunities and earning their due.

I myself am just not interested in the direction college football as entertainment is heading. As times past, I may listen to the radio or check TAs when I simply want to see how the Aggies are doing.

---

I have to say, I agree with everything you posted. My same feelings. And I hate it because I have always loved yelling for the Aggies.

TAMU (is what I meant to infer).

I'm sure going to miss watching Chapell run 4 or 5 yards behind the receiver with the hope that he can somehow catch up and bring him down after the reception.
