****Offical Texas Baseball Thread****

[clob94]

lol... reading threads like this and how you guys endlessly clown A&M (with an assist from A&M) is really pretty awesome.

I mean its their destiny to always be #2 (or worse) in the state, but its hilarious the new ways that you guys find to embarrass them (and how they embarrass themselves).

It's like this-- aggy jokes exist for a reason.

Look, there are some very decent folks out there that went to aggyland for their education. Very fine folks indeed. Some of them are my closest of friends. And for the most part, I've got no problem with them. But when they start getting a little big for their britches, it's just a matter of time before that penny drops and they are made to realize that, yes, they're still aggy.
Usually, it's because of their own doing. They'd do well to travel everywhere surrounded by orange hazard cones. And, yes, there have been times I've felt TRULY bad for them.
Bonfire. Horrible. Worst thing imaginable. I cried that day. Can't even imagine how terrible that was for them.
77-0 Oklahoma. I felt bad for them. I was chuckling about it, but I did feel a tiny bit bad for them.
UCLA blown lead. Up 34 at the half, aggy started being aggy and ended up losing 45-44. I felt bad for them for about 2 seconds until I remembered the next level sh!t talking they were doing on social media. Then I just laughed. And laughed some more.

Look- it is who they are. Aggy can jump up and surprise you every now and then. But over a long enough timeline, they will aggy it up, every single time. It's their nature.
Now, did they aggy this up? Sorta. But we really helped. A lot. This one stings more for them. This one is different. This confirms to them what they've known all along- doesn't matter how much money you have, we've got more. Doent matter how cool you think your town is, we've got more. Doesn't matter how many titles you play for, we've got more. Doesn't matter how desirable you think your athletic department is, we've got more.

We just have more.
And yes, they hate it. And austin IS full of hippies and drugs and gay people and dildos and furries and weirdos and democrats and over priced BBQ and margaritas.

But that doesn't matter. Because even if it weren't....... we've still got more...... of everything.

All i know is Texags has about 8 forums just about us currently lmao

 

[KChorn11]

Awkward for who? Pierce got paid a lot of money in his time here.

Awkward for a lot of people. Awkward for Pierece. Yeah he got paid a lot of money. Doesn’t make it any less awkward, snd CDC CDC made it awkward for Schols making the move literally right before the series started because then everyone knew Texas at least thought they were getting Schols.

 

[Drtxhorn]

Word on the street is that Pierce leaked the news to Kirk Bowels about Schloss. The intention was to wait for the announcement but Pierce or someone in his camp let the cat out of the bag.

IMO, y'all have the biggest clown on aggy in history, 77-0. Y'all had to try not to score in the 4th quarter in that game. They hate texas and ou because they can't beat us. Crimson, now that Bell is gone, don't be a stranger.

That would not be surprising. Pierce has some stubbornness in him. He did not like nil. He paid all the players balances on their partial scholarships instead of bringing in more talent.

 

[WRLHookem]

So Schloss leaving A&M for Texas makes him an a-hole. So when whoever A&M hires leaves their current school would they be an a-hole too because of what they did? I'm trying to figure out what makes A&M so special that coaches can't leave for other jobs when the season is over. He gave them two of the best teams A&M has ever had in the the history of their University but they still think he owes them something.

They say the timing was bad but what would have happened if they reported Pierce being fired a couple of weeks ago? The speculation and rumors would have been following A&M through the whole tournament and they would have blamed us for that, something may have even leaked out about Schloss which really would have caused a distraction. CDC wanted his new coach to start as soon as his current season was over so this was the timing that worked best for that. CDC had is guy and there was no need for a search so he waited until one day before the season was over and then pushed the ball down the hill. The rumor mill didn't have time to get much momentum during the last game and didn't hurt anything. I think CDC handled it as best as it could have been handled.

Gotta put it in perspective. Put yourself in the dudes shoes. Look back at some of his in game interviews during both UT games this year. Listen to how kind he was about UT talent while also promoting his own team. In one of the interviews he bashfully discusses meeting UT in a real weekend series in the SEC. If you look back you can see the guy was already committed to Texas halfway through the season. What would you do when you don’t really like your atmosphere, location on earth, where you live and commute to see your family because don’t move. He loved working for a former boss who now has immense financial power. But then you just coached your team to the NC series. Schloss has been CDCs guy since our first series where we got blasted by SEC teams again in Arlington. He handled it just like any of us would.

This is the most accurate post i have ever seen regarding aggie. I would like to copy and paste this to all my aggie friends.

Of course which is why they should have just made the move after the regional.

 

[Lampasas]

Saw where Earley might be attempting to return to A&M. Not sure if true, but has Schloss cut him loose? Surely he will have to for his lack of commitment.

Cut him loose because of lack of commitment? I mean, this seems a little funny given the circumstances of “lack of commitment”. I mean you just hired a coach you love that left his family and another team with a deal in place during the World Series and screwed his own players by his “lack of commitment” 😀
There is some smoke here because players loved Earley. I’m meh on Earley only because you don’t ever get to see the hitting coach much due to being in the shadows of the head coach. I don’t know how he is as a leader.

If any of what Schloss says about his interactions with the new AD is true, then you guys (ags in general, not you specifically) need to take a hard look in the mirror.

There are always 2 sides and then the truth. It’s somewhere in the middle. The timing, Schloss knowing in April, etc isn’t on the AD. Schloss played this one poorly, but I haven’t been impressed with our new AD hey anyway, so I’ll wait and see what all comes out, but talking loyalty probably isn’t the best statement.

Trev still carries around a chip on his shoulder about being injured in college and never making it in the NFL. Ask anyone from Nebraska and they'll tell you the same thing- Trev USED to be one of their favorite sons- until they realized he's a tiny man in large man's body.
I'm VERY close friends with 3 brothers, all from Nebraska with DEEP ties to the athletic program- Trev is an asshole.

Looks like Tulo made the cut and is staying!

Earley getting the HC job at AM may have played a role in this. I am not a baseball expert, but from what I have read over the years is that everybody loves Tulo. Aggy hiring Earley may be simply serendipitous.

Yeah I saw that and Tulo was also being considering for a couple of head coaching jobs too, but decided to come back to Texas after they let him go.

 

[DHHorn]

I'd take Tulo over Early any day. I think it's an upgrade.

Schloss was just collecting a paycheck for the last few years while he waited for the Texas job to open up. He gave you the best seasons you have ever had in baseball, so don't act like this is some sort of huge betrayal. Just remember that A&M could have fired him at any time they wanted as well and wouldn't be loyal to him if he was losing. They have contracts and termination clauses for a reason, it goes both ways.

 

[ElDiabloTejano]

i'm one of those dudes who usually doesn't watch a game until the regionals.. i don't claim to be an expert on all the machinations of running a collegiate baseball program.

here's what i find delicious: two weeks ago, the waters in college station were calm and deep. EVERYTHING was going swimmingly. they were mentally relaxing on a warm beach, soaking in all their sunshine. the george strait concert-- i'm sure it was wonderful, but this was like a referendum on aggydom to them. to boot, they were goose-stepping towards an actual national champonship.

then it didn't happen. then, all their insecurities were laid bare when schloss left. and he didn't just leave; he left for BIG BROTHER. all this time they thought they were on equal footing with Texas (they probably thought they were ahead, let's be honest). schloss highlighted that they are not only little brother, but they are truly a mid-tier athletic program that can only get coaches on the way up, or on the way down. they pass through college station just long enough to ascend to where they want to be (schloss, gillespie, even bjork) or descending from their peak (jimbo).

and now, big brother is coming. and unlike the comeuppance it always looked like they were going to get upon entering the secsec... they're FAVORED.

i married into a family of them. i'm enjoying rabble rabbling.

Yes, and he wouldn’t be at Texas if his best friend wasn’t there. This isn’t about Texas either. I don’t mind him going to Texas because he’s a grown man who can do what he wants for his career. It’s the way he went out and was a total liar. He screwed his players and the school. The players are staying put at A&M and not following him. They didn’t follow him to A&M from TCU either. He is a great baseball coach but he is a dick with little character in his home life and he is all about himself. He is about personal satisfaction and nothing about his team. It’s pretty telling when players don’t follow this “legend”. Firing is completely different. You get fired because you fail. He wasn’t failing. Knowing this in late April and leaving the day after and Texas dicking it up and firing their coach on the same day as the World Series clearly gives a picture of Schloss. It’s just my 2 cents. Don’t act like Texas wouldn’t be pissed about it. AND I understand A&M would not be sulking over stealing a Texas coach. It’s just a crap move on timing and Schloss talking to a reporter about being selfish for asking a question and how A&M was the last coaching move…Write that comment from him was a load of sh*#. That’s all. It is what it is.

Everyone knows it too, and you're right....we would not have felt bad if it was the other way around.

Schloss knew he was leaving when they played us the first time this year. Read his body language, his comments mid game. He was already looking for a house in Austin Lakewood months ago. ATM was just pergatory before the UT heavens opened.

That’s all. It is what it is.

All coaches lie in press conferences, both Jimbo and Elko lied in theirs too. I agree it could have been handled better but his comments at that press conference didn't sound that bad to me. He basically said that he gave up a lot to take the A&M job and put everything he had into it. At the time he took the job his intentions were to stay for the long haul and his feelings about A&M hasn't changed. What he left out was the part that situations change and it doesn't mean he has ill feelings towards A&M which he said later. As far as the players following him, the players should do what is best for their careers and after seeing how fans reacted to them putting their names in the portal and how fans were reacting to all of it they probably didn't want to deal with the blow back if they transferred to Texas. Especially if A&M is sweetening the deal with a NIL bump, good for them.

Aggies - “He screwed the players and the school. Absolute trash. Left the program in dismay”

Also Aggies - “We came out on the good end of this deal. This program is better off now than before”

Classic Aggie circular logic just to blame someone else. ****ing weirdos

Also, one of your cocksucker “media” types lied and you stupid ****ers ate it up.

Most hypocritical, woe is me fan base in the country. Never seen someone talk so much about how humble they are.

At least Texas fans accept we’re probably too arrogant for our own good.

Y’all are blind cultists with severe inferiority complex.

Another reason why I want to hire Schloss is to money back hand the frogs. The fort worth supers showed me how arrogant and haughty that fan-base was(undeserving too). Snatching their coach away would be a proper b*tch slap,
