Texas A&M Aggies, aTm (official thread of jizz jars)

[1926Buckeyes]

The whole history of run away spending on a mediocre football program seems to center on aTm. They tripled what was then the going rate for a head coach to get Jackie Sherrill. A couple of years of some success was followed by a suspension over “irregularities” and a return to mediocre.

It follows the obsession media has with their traditions and what they should be instead of what they are. It was pretty telling when ESPN had a whole segment about A&M having some of the best traditions (???), lore (?), and fanbase (???) in all of CFB, but never having the success and even dominance they thought they should have. A&M buys into it and thinks they can just spend the most money and get success.

But that's essentially CFB in a nutshell. Traditions and lore that fans never want to let go of(i.e. playing a rivalry game at the same time every year, touching a sign before playing-ND hasn't played like a champion in decades, touching some inanimate object before a game, performing some ritual only your fanbase knows about, etc)

Ohio State: But our traditions are cheeky and fun.

Notre Dame: Yeah, I mean, their traditions are cruel and tragic.

Alabama: Which makes them not traditions at all, really.

Ohio State: Evil traditions.

And the media only puts a favorable gloss on those traditions: "oh look at the lovely fake solders 'thank you for your service." They won't touch with a ten foot poll the sickness behind the fake soldiers and milkmen: the jizz jars, the boot fetish, the fraudulent claiming of WW2 Medal of Honor winners as their "alumni," the Klan history, assaulting students for forgetting to remove a baseball cap before entering certain buildings, attacking opposing cheerleaders with swords and on and on. The national audience isn't give a true picture of how deeply warped that place is.
