In recent news of Aggy ineptitude...
The Ags are no longer on the schedule, but that won't stop us from laughing at their bumbling antics. When it comes to Aggy ineptitude, Barking Carnival celebrates the entire catalog.
And, trust us when we assure you that the Ags' departure for the $EC will only increase the frequency and magnitude of Aggy blunders. Some recent cases-in-point:
Is it too late to cancel those hotel rooms in Chapel Hill?
There is no classier way to celebrate an important milestone than issuing a commemorative t-shirt.
Okay, I stand corrected. But that's beside the point. The Aggies chose to announce their initiation into the Southeastern Conference with a t-shirt, and it is a glorious, 100% pre-shrunk cotton monument to Aggy dipshittery. Unbeknownst to the Aggies, the state of North Carolina is not home to any SEC member institutions. Missouri is, though you won't find it on the t-shirt's map. Maybe the Ags are still bitter about the Tallmadge Amendment?
The possible return of Jackie Sherrill
The Aggy Athletic Department has had an impressive run of late. A&M's basketball and non-revenue sports have excelled in recent years, including national championships in non-meat judging sports such as women's basketball and women's track. But the Aggies can't seem to get their once-proud football program back to the level of their 1980s glory days. So, heads must roll in the AD's office.
Hiring from the outside didn't work last time. Why not bring back the cheating liar whose cheating and lies built A&M into a regional dynasty ...and eventually brought shame and a decade-and-a-half of unyielding mediocrity to the program?
According to people adept at twittering, Twitter is all atwitter with rumors that Jackie Sherrill will replace Bill Byrne as Texas A&M's Athletic Director. Let's see... A&M moves to the dirtiest conference in college athletics, and then courts its disgraced former coach to replace its goofy (but by all reports, honest and above-board) Athletic Director. Do you suppose the Ags intend to cheat their way back to glory?
Naaaah. They'd never stoop that low.

I know this is all conjecture, but it wouldn't surprise me if
Bill Byrne is shown the screen door. IIRC he was in Europe when the Aggie brain trust was making their goo goo eyes at the SEC. Most rumors indicate he may not have been 110% behind the move, and he’s had a spotty relationship with the alumnae - remember him challenging a fellow Aggie to some after work fisticuffs about a year or two ago?
But to replace him with the Prince of Recruiting Darkness, Jackie Sherrell? Even Aggies aren’t that dumb.

There is no level of dumb that the Aggies cannot achieve if they set their minds to it.

This reminds me of
Scipio’s article about North Carolina showing their complete disregard for the rules by hiring John Blake.
Hiring Jackie Sherrill will be confirmation that Aggie has no intent of playing by even the abridged version of the rules that the SEC follows.

Exactly.
If this is true, Aggie better hope they win in the SEC! SEC! sooner rather than later. Because OU and Texas will light a fire under the NCAA’s rear if the bad ole days of Southwest Conference recruiting/cheating return, and I wouldn’t want to be a member of the SEC! SEC! after the investigations pan out.

Sherrill as AD
Would be incredible. But I put as much credence in those rumors as the Jimmy Johnson to head coach meme that would emerge from Aggieland every coaching hire.
BTW, Jackie has had major financial trouble and has been reduced to pretty much pimping himself out for personal appearances, local rotary clubs in East Texas etc. I’d always envisioned a meeting/greeting role at the College Station Wal-Mart a la Joe Louis at Harrah’s casino.

Not Buying the...
…Byrne is blameless for the SEC move line. Yes, he was against the move, but he created the environment where it could happen.
Dodds has been AD since 1982. He got along fine with Ag ADs Sherrill (even hired his daughter once), Crow and Goff. Byrne is the only Ag AD with a hatred for Texas so great that he was incapable of any cooperation, even on topics of mutual interest (as opposed to Crow, for example, who toured UT facilities with Ag regents, to show them how they were falling behind).
The Ags had a problem- finances. Dodds offered them a solution- partial ownership of a third tier rights network. It would have increased their exposure and given them the separation they needed from schools like OSU and TT. He didn’t have the (small amount of) money to participate, and he didn’t want to work with Texas, so he said, “No”. Then, when UT developed it, he went ballistic, trying everything he could to bring it down, and marshalling the Ags against it. By that point, the Ags’ leaders truly believed they had no shared interests with Texas, leading them to leave the conference. I honestly believe if a real grownup had been Ag AD since 2003, this wouldn’t have happened.

I honestly believe that if an A&M; AD had agreed to partner with tu, they would have been shown the door
Byrne carried his grudge for UT over from the fall of the Nebraska program, but he also knows that going full Aggie is the way to keep his job.

Byrne
Dollar Bill has always been big on playing to his audience. He figured to cement his job by hating on anything UT. Once he did that, there’s no way he could ever cooperate with Dodds on anything, including a network, without losing every bit of credence he had with aggy faithful. Byrne, in essence, painted his own way into the corner, and when push has come to shove, he probably realizes now he’s had nothing but the title of AD…no real power, and no real protection from getting his walking papers.

I think we may be
looking at this all wrong. Didn’t ATM announce things before the SEC wanted them to about 6 times last fall?
Perhaps they heard some insider SEC expansion news about NC at a conference meeting and voila it’s on a t-shirt before the SEC announces it.
Although, it’s probably just normal Aggie fail.
