  What? I was supposed to pay for that?

  If Baylor and TCU ran ANYTHING, one of them would have been in the playoffs last year. We know how that worked out for them.

  Sporting News is aggie biased.

  We could finally get that UT vs aTm match-up.

It's obvious he did not make contact or LeBron would not have walked away.

  If Green Bay opts not to sign Cobb, Johnson could fit in there.  I don't see Indy or Baltimore going after an older player.  The Pats have a history of resurrecting older players. That, to me, would be his best chance to play in a Super Bowl.

  They will not get a #6 for Andre. 

  Mike and Mike mentioned the Patriots. That would be awesome for him.

It's time to sever the ties with Andre. If this team was on the brink of making a playoff run they could afford to keep him around. Now, it's time to get some depth and add some younger players.   It's not personal, it's business.

[Hidden Content] Well ok.

Take a jacket. It's always freezing.

It's not a lie if you believe it's true.

"Chavis’ lawsuit also named Texas A&M as a defendant. In the suit, he asked the judge to determine whether he owes LSU any damages, and if so, to require Texas A&M pay those damages."   This sounds like the aggies are being sued to me. 

  I did not file the lawsuit.   So you're saying if LSU wins, then the aggies will pay money they owe without hesitation?

UT will get the best available coach. This will be epic!   I could care less who they hire. It's just time for a change.

Good luck to whoever is playing UH. Awesome to see an Ivy League school take 2 of 4 from the best team in Texas this weekend. Nice work, Todd.

Pasties? Like the kind the strippers wear?   Or patsies, like the teams Aggie plays in non-conference football games?

  The operative words are "a few years ago". Trust me, some deep pocket alums are "keeping track".

Dey waitin' on dat SEC check on the first of the month.

COLLEGE STATION – The slogan We Run This State was a goofy bit of unnecessary braggadocio from the start, and it’s now causing Texas A&M more trouble than it’s worth. The latest regarding #WRTS involves A&M issuing a statement to ESPN’s Darren Rovell: “Texas A&M has not had any plans – past or future – to trademark, purchase or otherwise profit financially from #WRTS.” This is even an issue because one of A&M’s top signees, defensive lineman Daylon Mack of Gladewater, used “#WRTS” on Twitter throughout his recruitment – and it turns out his father, Coris Mack, had filed for the trademark last June, according to ESPN. A&M’s statement to ESPN continued, “Texas A&M was aware of Mr. Coris Mack’s trademark application but this trademark application had nothing to do with the recruitment of Mr. Daylon Mack as a student-athlete at Texas A&M.” In addition, the university told Rovell it has “disallowed licensees from using #WRTS in connection with Texas A&M trademarks, to include official logos, phrases and colors, in production of licensed goods. Texas A&M’s office of business development, which oversees the university’s trademarks and licensing, is not a part of the athletics department and is not involved in the recruitment of student-athletes.” One of Texas A&M football’s official websites, Aggiefblife.com, has continued using #WRTS as a tout. Aggies have long contended the motto simply stands for recruiting battles, but it’s easy to see why observers might get confused by the otherwise hollow claim. A&M has finished no higher than third in the West division in its three seasons in the SEC (including sixth out of seven teams this past season) and won a lone league title (in 1998) in 16 years as a Big 12 member. It has, however, put together some highly ranked recruiting classes behind fourth-year coach Kevin Sumlin. Fans, however, would rather see the results show up on the field – rather than in vain claims concerning recruiting rankings. The slogan also provides opposing fans reason to point and giggle when the Aggies stumble on the field, as they did in a 59-0 loss at Alabama last October. For the ESPN story click here.

[Hidden Content]   I guess he knew he was going to be an aggie.   FYI. Dallas Shipp (Aggie Outfitters) grew up next door to us in Baytown. His sister was one of my wifes cheerleaders at Sterling.

  Those teams wanted to increase their SOC and dropped the Aggies.

Texas A&M baseball team honors 13-year-old cancer patient Posted on February 26, 2015 | By Chron Sports   For all the horror stories about big colleges recruiting top prospects younger and younger every year, there are just as many tales from the other end of the spectrum. Feel-good situations that don’t get nearly the same coverage as, say, LeBron James’ son being recruited at 10. Well, meet 13-year-old Elias Gomez, the newest member of the Texas A&M baseball team. Gomez, an eighth-grader from College Station, has battled a brain tumor known as medulloblastoma since 2007. On Thursday, Aggies head coach Rob Childress spoke about Gomez’s story and what led him to offer the youngster an honorary letter of intent. “You are relentless and we feel very honored that you’re a part of our program here at Texas A&M,” Childress said. Added A&M pitcher A.J. Minter: “He has a great story, I mean he’s just overcome a lot of challenges in his life and we’re just happy to have him.”    

Who is Lebron James?
