SMU new coach better than A&M new coach?

[Mexmustang]

Personally, I think A&M is the worst coaches graveyard in America. They see themselves as an elite team, one of the the top 5-8 football teams in America. They are good, but not elite, more like Georgia, but not USC or OU. Coaches simply match that Aggie self dilusion.

[jtstang]

That attitude is ingrained in them during their cult rituals.

A&M is one coach away from being an excellent team. Give Tubberville or whoever it is 2 years and that thing will be humming. I am amazed at the stupid things said about A&M with absolutely nothing to back it up. Look at the recruiting class coming in. Go ahead look it up. They will wipe the floor with SMU in '11.

BTW that cult you keep talking about is the Corp which has sent many many fine young men to the military most of them officers; in fact the ENTIRE classes of A&M in '41 and '42 went to WW 2. Go ahead and call them names but remember who you are talking about.

[jtstang]

No, the cult I am talking about may include the Corps, but it is the entire Aggie population. You know, the ones, whose "traditions" include putting drunk freshman up on an unstable stack of logs so that they can fall to their deaths, and who still want to continue that ritual afterwards and protest the administration when the practice is suspended. Also the ones who grab their nuts at football games in the name of tradition, and god knows what other inside BS goes on at that campus. I'll try to pry out some more of their traditions from my brother, who is a member of the cult.

Your brother is obviously the smart one of the family.

"The desire for safety stands against every great and noble enterprise. "

It's neither great nor noble, but if you climb on top of a giant stack of lumber, you know what you are getting into. This "that isn't safe, so we're going to ban you from doing it" mentality is another symptom of the wussification of this country.

He'll be glad to hear that, but since it comes from a fellow Aggie sympathizer, he'll have to take it with a grain of salt.

Well, wussification aside, some things are just stupid. [deleted] and moaning because the school prohibits the continuation of a dangerous practice that killed 12 innocent kids, or whatever the number was, is one of them.

Here are the great traditions of SMU: drinking or drugs. Complain about A&M. Great traditions.

Yes, well if those stupid SMU traditions were officially endorsed by the school, you would not hear me complain if the school discontinued them like the cult did when A&M pulled the plug on the bonfire.

Nut grabbing ice-cream men under the goal posts, getting drunk while watching trees burn, obsessing about another school in the first line of the fight song. Awesome.

Here are the tradtions of Aggieland:

Sadly SMU is just now taking the problems of Alcohol and drugs seriously after the trajedies of last year.

Guess you got to have your cult password to look at the traditions.

I corrected it. Go back and look.

I'm really not interested. I hope that damn bonfire is not still on there though.
