Even though Mark Welsh technically hired Trev Alberts, people like John Sharp pull the strings (over and over again making terrible decisions). Thankfully John Sharp is retiring this year……..you know because he wants to "go out on top" (laugh/cry)

What sport was it?


Powerlifting. Club sport. National Champs. (We have won a bunch in powerlifting)

TAMU Club Sports have won 288 national titles between 1974 and 2018.

There is literally not a single thing to be optimistic about regarding A&M Athletics. Literally not a single thing.

This next ten years is going to be REALLY dark.


Have you watched the last 40 years? We've largely been mediocre.



Yeah but 30
Of those we were poor.


Last ten and next ten we have top 5 money

We are going to be bad at baseball and basketball next year, and average in football.

Really? How was that? So typical of ignorant sunshine pumpers. Instead of debating anything I said, instead you jump to juvenile, non-sensical ad hominem insults.

I fully know you're a sip troll. However, the worst part is I'm not sure you're wrong

All 3 major men's sports team coaches replaced in 18 months. One fired with the biggest payout in history - by far. The other 2 leave of their own accord. The only one of the 3 that was having any success on the field goes to our biggest in-state (and most hated) rival.

After making the sweet 16 three times in 12 years A&M let a coach walk that couldn't get there in 6 years.

Schloss left to join his BFF.

Elko has had one year that was way better than Sark's first year.

Anything else?

We are undoubtedly big time underachievers, but college athletics really doesn't exist for the most part. That's why I shrug my shoulders and move on. It just doesn't matter.

Do you deny the allegation?

You are a new poster making blanket assertions that A&M Athletics is entering its darkest period in history. ie. you're taking shots at every A&M sport.

That sounds like the actions of a rival, rather than a fan.

It also sounds like a trolling attempt.

Yes, I deny that. It's stupid. This is as much my school as it is yours. I don't agree with you that "real Aggies" have to shut up and continue to eat the **** sandwich that our leadership keeps feeding us with no criticism, questioning or push back whatsoever. It's been that way for 100 years with literally nothing to show for it.

If you want to continue to be a good little Ag and support this complete disaster of an athletics program, then go ahead. But don't chastise others who are tired of it and are using their (admittedly) very small voice to rabble rouse and hopefully start to get things changed.

I don't see how a single competent person can look at our three major sports right now and not be in a panic. It is really, really bad.

You don't happen to be the reincarnation of Hungry Ojos would you? Because your posts sure do read like his.

- The lone voice crying in the wilderness that A&M sucks, has always sucked and will always suck and your the only one that truly gets it
- Jumping on any thread that has a positive intent to spread your message of hopeless suckatude.
This weird assertion that if only the participants of a fan message board were more like you and rabble...rabble A&M would (I guess) finally become good? ....great? ....something.
- Conversely that it's message board posters that look for positives, point out good things happening at A&M (ex. Softball) and generally not bleeding out that are the REAL problem with A&M athletics.

If not him was he your mentor? An inspiration?

When someone is offered a job outside of your company and you make no effort to retain them that is what it is called. It's not a difficult concept.

How do you know it's stupid? Your account has been active for less than a month. So other than your anonymous word, there's nothing to indicate that you are a graduate of A&M.

No one says you have to "shut up and... no criticism". However, you're making blanket assertions - easily refutable, I might add - that attack the entire program. A troll potbanger, as it were.

If you are a graduate of A&M, you must be really young, as you seem to be so willing to pass judgement on Elko after his one year in the program. Feel fortunate to not have lived or paying attention through any of the tenures prior to Elko, because after 1 year, Elko's record (.615) is better than the entire tenures of Sherman (.500), Fran (.533) & Wilson (.525), and is within 5 percentage points of Fisher (.643), Sherill (.648), and Bellard (.640). Only Sumlin (.677) & Slocum (.721) have significantly better lifetime results than Elko's first year.

By the way, that also blows out the entire tenure's record of tu's Strong, Mackovic & McWilliams.

So as a competent person, I have a hard time looking at your blanket assertion regarding football that it is a complete disaster and remotely taking it seriously. So show your work. Convince us that football is an unmitigatble disaster moving forward.

And as for basketball, the fact that Buzz has the same happy feet that he has demostrated for his prior two stops has no bearing at all upon the overall state of the basketball program, so imo you're just banging pots to hear yourself make noise.

Finally, for baseball, I am dumbfounded by the early start of this team, and if Earley doesn't right the ship, we'll adjust. But to say that the hiring of Earley is sententing the program to obscurity is asinine.

So, it's not at all that bad. Could it be better? Sure, but that goes for every college program sans about 3 or 4.

Enjoy your day.

Not good. That's all I am trying to say.

I admittedly like to stretch the boundaries with my posts, for entertainment effect, but my points still remain. After 100 years of banging our heads against the wall and having nothing to show for it, it seemed like the fan base would be tired of it and ready for a change. Rabble rousing can make a difference. Remember what happened when we ALMOST hired Mark Stoops? How the entirety of our school rose up and said "hell no!" We can effectuate change if the fan base is tired of this.

But it's apparently not. The consensus among the majority of our fan base is still "even after 100 years of failure and terrible leadership, we WILL NOT complain, we WILL NOT question anything, we WILL NOT criticize anything, we WILL CONTINUE to pretend everything is fine, and we will continue to quietly eat the **** sandwiches we have been served since 1939 and simply HOPE that things will change next year..."

I'm just so tired of that approach, but carry on, I've tried my best. Y'all have A LOT more faith and optimism than I do, but I'll leave y'all alone. Love you guys!

Hungry Ojos is a parody name of "Hungry Eyes" song popular in the 80's

Fat Bottom Squirrels is a parody name of "Fat Bottom Girls" song from same general time period

Same posting schtick. Hmmm...
