Oh Aggy.

I was told that some schools actually count the teams, coaches, and staff as part of the attendance. Is this common practice to make attendance look better than it actually is.

So, with some schools, there are some identifiable issues holding them back. Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Arkansas are simply in states that don't produce enough talent to win national titles. That means they have to go out of state to satisfy their needs, and that is tough with competition from surrounding SEC schools. Paying Bret Bielema an extra million doesn't solve the high school talent issue in Arkansas.

But that's not a problem at A&M. A&M is the definition of all-in, it has tons of surrounding talent and it signs that talent. Which leads me to believe this might be a coaching or player development issue.

I was at a business luncheon yesterday and had a couple of aggys at the table talking football.  It was fun listening to them lamenting on Stublin's shortcomings and the aggy football program in general.  They were discussing what it would take to fire stublin and who would they get. They realize their program is going nowhere anytime soon.

 
How is Texas A&M going to compete for the SEC title when they've already lost three conference games and are behind two teams with one loss records? Logic.

Correct me if in wrong, but didn't the Seattle suit end poorly for the ags as they were suing a disabled fan who had a charity that he was raising funds for? aggie= pride, ethics, moral elite😜

What ended badly was the pissing match the ags got into with Chuckie Sonntag, the guy from Buffalo. The ags threatened to sue him and in the end had to write him a check to make everything go away.

I called Dan Emerson, General Counsel for the Colts, today. He has the info on the problems with the aggy trademark. I also made sure Chuckie Sonntag's atty was in touch with the Colts' attorneys.

Should be fun if aggy wants to pursue this.

What's funny is aggy wasn't even the first to use the slogan 12th man, they weren't even the 2nd! The universities of Minnesota and Iowa used it before aggy but hey, when do facts ever get in aggy's way.

The relationship between Hornsports and the 12th Man goes back a few years. In late 2013, the boss allowed the publication of an article concerning the aggy "tradition."

http://www.hornsports.com/articles/featured1395317068/texas-am-and-the-12th-man-the-story-of-th-r3866

The story was picked up by a writer for the Wall Street Journal.

"But I thought aggy never lied or tolerated those that do? "

They lie daily and tolerate those who do. Especially those who play quarterback for them and go around the country selling their autograph.

 
*snicker*  :rolleyes:   Did Batman take nine years to respond to the bat signal? aggy law....assemble!

Somewhere out there is a signal light, much like the Bat Signal that Batman uses. In that signal is the Texas A&M logo, and when it illuminates the nighttime sky, Texas A&M's lawyers drop whatever they're doing and assemble, ready to sue somebody at a moment's notice. And the Aggie Signal is shining now, my friends -- all because of the Indianapolis Colts.

*groan*

The Seahawks paying aggy a lump sum of only $100k and $5k annually for the "rights" to use 12th Man imagery tells you everything. They're basically saying, "We don't have time to jack around with this in court. Here's a little money from petty cash. Go away, aggy."

the problem with aggy on the seahawks teet is that aggy gets to chest pump and continue the fallacy of owing 12th man.
