Also, he I'm not sure he "upset" anyone. He just showed what a dumbass he is.
"LOL" doesn't do this article justice. I don't even know where to start......
It was a good natured jab. He mentioned that it allowed TCU into the Big 12. Everyone needs to chill.
I think he's not dumb; in fact, he's correct. A&M leaving opened the door for TCU and they've benefited greatly.
I don't think he's judging the A&M decision, just noting the positive consequence for TCU.

Yes, and he's very smart. Check his twitter. All tongue in cheek.
DelConte is actually really good at his job. If you look at the entire athletic program, he's been very salty.

How, exactly, has that been a mistake for us? WGAS about the fortunes of TCU and the great fortune they have to languish in the bdf until it all implodes. Granted, it has been a big step from the MWC.. for awhile anyway.33 said:

What exactly is an erroneous mistake?
erroneous: containing error; mistaken; incorrect; wrongPotcake said:

Our move to the SEC didn't contain an error, was not mistaken, was not incorrect, and was not wrong.
Did he really say an "erroneous" mistake?
erroneous /rns/ adjective
synonyms: wrong, incorrect, mistaken, in error, inaccurate, untrue, false, fallacious
So he said the Aggies made a mistaken mistake, cleverly using a double-negative to say we did the right thing. If he really wanted to criticize the move to the SEC, he'd have called it an egregious error.

Dang, too slow.
It was a joke, he was basically saying it was a mistake to let TCU in the door because now they're an athletic juggernaut we have to recruit and compete against. He would have made the same comment had we stayed in the Big XII and been responsible for letting them in. Look out world TCU's coming!!
Look at all the idiots getting trolled. "Erroneous mistake". Think about it

I'm guessing their AD (Del Conte himself) gives a ***** That's sort of the point.DifferenceMaker Ag said:How, exactly, has that been a mistake for us?

This is stupid. TCU benefited, but we would not have benefited from staying. This is like some jackass saying, "Haha! Gotcha sucker. I'm dating your ex and banging her good! She's way better than my last girlfriend! You ****ed up leaving this one!" all the while missing the fact that you dumped your *****y 6 ex for a new 9 that makes better money and likes the same stuff you do. Just because he left his 4 and picked up your old 6 does not make you dumping that 6 a mistake. Good for him, but better for you.

"I've got one shot," he recounted, "to go see DeLoss."
It was a quite a visit. Del Conte grabbed a car, a driver and a bunch of reference material, binders, extolling the advantages of TCU and Fort Worth.
"I get up at 8 o'clock in the morning and drive to Darrell K. Royal Stadium. I get to [Dodds'] office. Nine comes around, 10 comes around. I've got a GA [graduate assistant] outside waiting for me, by the way. I tell him, 'Just wait 10 minutes I'll be back.' Pretty soon it's 3:30.
"[DeLoss] comes out and says, 'Who are you?' Chris Del Conte, Texas Christian U. He doesn't hear 'Chris.' he hears 'Del'. 'Del, let's go get ourselves a drink and discuss it.'
"We went to a restaurant and had a little libation at 3:30. By the time 8:30 rolls around, we were [into it] pretty good but we got ourselves in a situation. I kept trying to give him my [binders]. He said, 'I've heard enough, Del' and just walked away."
The Big 12 ADs had a conference call the next day.
"The next morning I got up. Joe [Castiglione] goes, 'I don't know what you did but it worked.' We got the vote. The Frogs are in,' Del Conte said.
He still sounded stupid. As did Ben Baby for breathlessly tweeting it out like it was going to ruffle feathers. TCU is still a gnat on our ass. If a Big Four conference job came open, Old Del would leave at the first chance he got.FTAggies said:

It's pretty simple really ......
A&M benefited greatly by leaving the Big12.
TCU benefitted greatly by A&M leaving the Big12.
Our move to the SEC was a boon for BOTH A&M AND TCU.

Yes, a true win-win scenario.
Good grief there's a lot of snowflake Ags on here. He said it tongue in cheek for god's sake.

If you look at lists around the country, his name is high on most lists. He has done a great job at TCU and is thought of very highly around the country.
yet every time he opens his mouth he sounds like a moron.Macarthur said:BohunkAg said:He still sounded stupid. As did Ben Baby for breathlessly tweeting it out like it was going to ruffle feathers.

I think he will be singing a different tune in 4-5 years when the Big 12 implodes and TCU is left fighting for themselves in conference realignment and Texas gives them a big f-ck you.

this is the funny part. TCU is still among the "have nots" of college sports. The Big 12 move is but a temporary stay of their annual matchups with powerhouses like Cal State - Dominguez Hills, Eastern Kentucky, Central Pennsylhiokotabraska A&F and home locksmith repair college (or earn your degree!), and University of Phoenix online - Rochester New York campus.David_Puddy said:33 said:

For TCU, the Big 12 was a good decision whether it lasted 2 years from their entry or another 10 years from today. They understand looking out for self-interest more than most given their history since the SWC death, and they did that in this instance.
Kind of like Eric Hyman was?Macarthur said:BohunkAg said:He still sounded f-cking stupid. As did Ben Baby for breathlessly tweeting it out like it was going to ruffle feathers.

- OU, OKSt, TT, tu all go to Pac.
- KU goes to B1G.
- WVU goes ACC.
- BU, ISU, KSU, TCU are left to find a non-Power4 home.
TCU is angling for the TTU spot.BESCo91 said:When the Big12 implodes:Quote:

SEC benefited
Bdf did not benefit.
This is a win-win-win-loss scenario
I wonder how dumb he thought we were when he waited for hours in the waiting room in DeLoss Dodd's office just so he could meet him and plead their case to be granted admission to the XII and Dodds didn't even know who he was.
What a moron.
What a moron.
