I kept saying the same thing to my daughter as we were watching the games. The coaching was odd and made no sense. It sure does now.All I do is Nguyen said:
It really does feel like the coaches, at least, didn't give their best effort during the final series. Challenging obviously wrong calls, using Sarge when up 9-5, we honestly didn't need him, not arguing the strike zone AT ALL (unlike Vitello who obviously gave a ****).
I hope the Karma train comes at Schloss and the other coaches hard.
I've gone from truly caring (wayyy too much) in my younger years, to having a more balanced approach - yet still very passionate, to...thanks largely to NIL and modern transfer rules...really just wanting to take my daughter to games for the environment because we have a really cool school and stadium that is GRAND to a 3-4 year old...and if we win, all the better because it's neat when Kyle is buzzin and everyone's happy.Tex117 said:Sea Speed said:millertime40 said:Sean98 said:millertime40 said:

You weren't lied to. You were a dope with his head in the sand. We all were at one point.
Some of us figured it out before we ever gave any money to the TMF. Others wasted some money learning it.

My kids bc I wanted them to be passionate about A&M the way I was when I was a kid, but it's pointless now, it's not A&M, it's pure trash
Summer of 2020 I realized it was all a farce and complete waste of time and emotional capital to care one bit about any sports team, college or not. I am CONTINUALLY proven correct.
This really is the only reasonable view.
Sure, watch some sports to be entertained, but being emotionally invested is silly. It brings nothing but emotional turmoil.

But pretty much everything that used to set college sports apart and make it special has been sucked out of the game. With football, NIL wouldn't be so detrimental if they would just somehow go back to the old transfer rules.

if we were to win a natty this year, it would be cool, but I know I wouldn't care as much as I would have just a few years ago.

That's essentially throwing the game then. Making moves in the best interest to another team and not A&M while being paid by A&M is illegal.
To me, this raises a bigger question…
What is the point of watching college sports when the product on the field isn't a true representation of the name of the institution on the front of the jersey?
I don't watch pro sports because I don't have a connection to a bunch of adults that get paid to do a job and don't really care about the team they are on.
Now, when I think of college sports, why does it matter if the team wins when the players and coaches have no allegiance to the institution, only to the money they are being paid?
Why should I care about the outcome of these games that are played/coached by eternal free agents?
What return do I get on the investment of my time in watching these events?
Why should I care about any of these coaches or players and if their team wins or loses?

Whenever I hear the name Spencer Arrighetti, I will always think of that time in Houston at the Shriners’ Classic when @FrogPreacher and I overheard him getting absolutely undressed by Schloss for not carrying the ball bag or something.

Somebody ask Spencer what he thinks. I dare you.
