    SH, seeing your “disagrees.” can’t wait for your take on the Petrino rumors.

    “Jimbo and Bobby . . . douchebag central.”

    What do you know?

    WOW! What overwhelming condemnation of a person I doubt anyone on this board has dealt with one on one. I was once asked by certain people in our department to help "fix" an unfortunate situation we had.

    I called Petrino in Fayetteville, reminded him how we knew each other and ask him about our situation. He told me to have the kid and his parents call him. He said he would indeed take the kid, but he wanted to be upfront with them. He had his starter for the next three years. If his guy got hurt, this kid would be prepared to step in and play. He also said a good friend of his had just taken a HC job and needed a starter. The family was welcome to use him as a referral and choose between the two. Class act in my book.

    As for the motorcycle incident, Johnny Tyson wasn't going to put up with that or it's doubtful Petrino would have been fired.

    While we are throwing stones, let us not forget our assistant coach that called around looking for someone to help him give his girlfriend a new car without his wife finding out about it. Then there is the assistant that liked adult beverages a little too much, but worse he bet on games including ours. Those, people, are just for starters.

    Duke,

    Petrino is one of the best QB coaches in the country. Left alone (which won't happen), I'd put money on Weigand winning the Hype$man.

    Nobody can succeed as OC/QB coach because Jimbo won't let them do their job.

    If winning is the issue, I would rather have Petrino as head coach. I do not think together will work because Jimbo has an ego and a guaranteed contract = no hot seat.

    But if aggie is going full on **** show, they need to hire Art Briles.

    Petrino will have to have some guarantees from BMDs. Jimbo won't surrender the offense and/or play calling to anyone. He will consider Petrino the next "fall guy", but Petrino will consider himself HC in waiting.

    Vol Horn 4 Life Good Bye To All The Rest!

    With 22 in the portal and another 13 seniors on the roster that's 35 (and still increasing) of the 85 players on scholarship departing. Almost 42% of their roster will be completely new next year.

    Um, c'mon guys, we all know it is likely at least some of those in the portal will likely stay at A&M. The number raising their hand to leave is still stunning, though.

    22 currently. There is some back chatter that there will be 5-6 more before spring training. There usually a couple that transfer out at that time.

    This team did have a losing record. Maybe aggie is cleaning house to create a new tradition of filling their roster from the stands?

    Dave,

    Are you suggesting the beginning of a new Aggie tradition - the 36th man?

    And the whole west side of the stadium should be made into a "portal" with fans huddled in groups of 36 ready to leave for other schools if new recruits are found or things get bad on the field. And the 36 man Foundation should provide NIL money to make sure aggie football players that leave have been paid up front regardless of performance ie "Jimbo Style".

    Yeah, “Much ado about nothing.”

    or is it “A Comedy of Errors”…?

    And this: I think I read that A&M 22’ class in the portal ranks higher than the 23’ class so far. That should be a tradition.

    The age of NIL is still relatively young, but the aggy transfer portal implosion may be an event for the ages. Their record may never be surpassed. Kinda like the ‘72 Dolphins. Or maybe not.

    Is there one underlying cause?
    How many were in 2022 incoming recruiting with NILdeals?
    Why so many?
    They went from gloating to laughing stock. :lmao::coolnana:

    To be fair, they have to do something twice for it to become a tradition.

    31% of their 85 scholarships. If they were an infantry unit they would be labeled combat ineffective.
