I posted this a few years ago. UT paid out around $50 million for Mack, Herman, and Strong. texxas5asports.proboards.com/post/306284/threadSo you are only $25 million in savings vs A&M. But don't be surprised if Sarkisian uses the Jimbo deal to get himself a raise and a buyout increase. I wouldn't doubt. But he won't dare ask for it until next year if the Longhorns make the expanded playoff. Because unless Oregon or Washington lose in the next two weeks or Michigan chokes which is also possible, I don't see Texas making the cut for the final four even if they do win out. The last two weeks of playing to the wire and then a little over it has probably propelled Bama over Texas with the what have you done lately thing.

Huge congrats then on the win Do you think A&M is gonna miss that money? If you do, you aren't nearly as bright as I thought. And it still amazes me the amount of hate you have for a&m. But I guess it shouldn't since most of the time it is t-shirt fans like you with absolutely 0 ties to a school that acts this way. Ags aren’t gonna miss it much. Jimbo’s ranch is in Franklin, and I bet his investments and spending will find its way back to some big cigars. Lots of wells still producing gas out that way too…of course all speculative. It isn’t my money going to the TMF so what the rich folks do with their’s is what it is. I've heard he has more than just that one ranch. lol And you are right, it is their millions and they can spend it like they want to. Hell, I watch my wife get her donation letter every year from TLU, formerly TLC where she graduated and it goes where the rest of em go, right into the damn garbage can. Like she said, nobody paid for her education but here through dollars and very hard earned academic scholarships that were not part of the universities scholarship funds. lmao

But I guess it shouldn't since most of the time it is t-shirt fans like you with absolutely 0 ties to a school that acts this way. For the hundredth time or so, I'm hardly a Tshirt fan. My late Mom and Dad went to UT and my dad was UT law also a member of the Silver Spurs. I was listening to Longhorn football while I was being fed to sleep by mom and dad as a baby. And had I not fallen in love in Nov 1991 with the gal who would be my wife of 30 years next August, six months later I would've been at UT and I'd have the Texas Ex Sticker on the back of my Truck. But I was in damn love with the girl obviously and stayed at A&I. Do I think A&M is going to miss the money? Probably not. Are they going to be wiser not to spend that for the next coach? I don't know? I would hope they are for all the fallout this experiment has shown. But who the heck knows? I don't hate A&M, my Uncle is an Aggie and some of my lifelong best friends who are like Brothers and Sisters to me are Aggies. Cool But for someone who says they don't hate a&m, you sure don't act that way. It is kinda like chino acts like towards calallen in fact.

Which is BS because UT is better than both of them! UT's only problem right now is quarters 3 & 4. They need to find that problem and get if fixed.

My level of "hate" comes no where close to Chino's level of hate towards Calallen. I get more of a laugh than anything over the irrational exuberance the fanbase has and the obsession it has with TU. The last 10 years were supposed to be part of a separation from UT and they were going to carve their own path and yet "Saw'em off" still remained the primary slogans after Gig'em. If A&M succeeds , good for them.. I've never actively of vocally wished they lose in anything as long as they are not playing UT. Unlike Oklahoma where I want them to lose at everything.

But the simple fact is the committee who is swayed with the what have you done lately flow of the season are likely holding the two weeks against Texas because of the one OT game albeit it was against another ranked team for it's worth. That might have been overlooked on it's own had it not been followed up by last weeks nailbiter with TCU who was 4-5 going into that game.

Yup That last game didn't score any beauty points to the voters. I just cannot understand the drop off they are continually having after halftime. Edit: Worse is that Brooks is out now. Damn! Kid was having an incredible year.

Nothing about UT putting 57 on Tech? Arch Manning leading a scoring drive late?

Nothing about UT putting 57 on Tech? Arch Manning leading a scoring drive late? It was an answer for the Rig 12 Commish and his comments back in August at the Tech Booster club. The clown was actually in attendance tonight. Plus the whole Tech nation yapping their mouth last year about the Big 12 championship going through Lubbock after beating Texas. Horns have to take care of business next week. Probably against Okie State. Yours truly will be in attendance.

Mike Elko is coming back to Aggieland after spending two years at Duke as their HC. I was hoping for Traylor at UTSA but Elko is a solid hire for the Aggies.
