Honest Questions:
1. People keep saying Jumbo to aTM. Why? Why is that a foregone conclusion? Why would he leave FSU for A&M? I don't get it. Those are wildly different programs. FSU has more everything as a college football program. That, to me, is a step down, and a lateral move at the very best (being generous to the Aggies). What am I missing here?
2. Taggart. This one is on you guys. I don't buy @BallSacked 's explanation that disruption for Oregon is good for Washington. Sure, it would be a temporary shit-pile for the Ducks, but someone with a brain here will have to square that with what appears to be the overwhelming view in these parts that he's a shit coach. Forget all the race banter ... my impression is that most here don't think he's worth a shit and are happy the Ducks are saddled with him. So, why is everyone actively hoping/laughing and talking shit about Willie to FSU? Or Willie to anywhere? We've been over this logic a million times, especially with SC and Sark. Remember? We? hoped Sark would not completely fail so he'd be there long enough to lock them in as a perennial 8 game winner, with the occasional / accidental 9 or 10 win season? Why not with Willie? It seems you can't have that one both ways. He either doesn't have 'great' coach DNA and you should want him there forever, or he does and you want him to leave for another program (or for any reason).
3. FSU. Taggart? Really? Is this not one of the consistently highest performing programs of the last 40 years or so? Piles of great players in the NFL, awards, championships, bowl wins, winning streaks, maybe the greatest feat of them all with that 14 or 15 year top 5 thing they did ... a stadium that puts most others to shame, $$, easy peasy recruiting, national name recognition ... one of the elites. I'm still out on Taggart, meaning I don't know enough about him to say definitively ... I'll give him somewhat of a pass on some losses this year given what he inherited with the QB situation ... the freshman was simply not at all ready for prime time. It happens. But what the fuck has this guy done to get himself in the FSU conversation? Les Miles? Sure, he's been to the top. Mullen? That would have made sense. He made hillbilly state a winner. Chip? Sure. People like that make sense. Taggart? FSU? Why? Because he's from there? That's fs. I don't get it.

it’s almost as if you believe this place has some sort of consistent message ney manifesto they believe in.
They don’t. It’s the same as every other board.
And they are never right about anything despite the self fellating fantasy they’ve all built for themselves.
I like it here. -

Quick timeout from the banter for some creepy questions. I may be brilliant, but it's mostly pretend and I do miss things here and there. I'm partially mortal; sue me.

im being rude answering a question with a question but... -
This post bordered on TL;DR, but I will take the bait.
1. Jimbo worked with ATM's AD while the OC at LSU. And they are offering a shit ton of money.
2. I actually would prefer to see Willie at UO for a few years to see what happens. I don't think he'll pan out, long term. If he does, I think he's off to a better job anyways because Eugene is a shit place to live.
3. Yeah, I don't get the Taggart to any Florida school shit right now other than he's from there and has managed to get a few FL recruits to commit to him all the way in Oregon. His career is still in LIPO mode at Oregon as far as I'm concerned.
For me, bottom line is I'm more concerned with what UW is doing than what is going on at Oregon. We take care of bidness with Petersen and all the other shit is just background noise. -
Florida State is a Tier I, blue blood Program. A&M is a Tier II, non blue blood program that just happens to have a lot of fucking money because it's a cult school. I don't get it either unless it's simply about a bigger pay check. They both fucking suck a rowing, however.

Jimbo is using the old no football only facility thing at FSU. And A&M wants him. Dude on TV at the gym says FSU is tired of begging him to stay ala the LSU job
We give Taggs shit because he's a duck. Duh. If he's good or bad doesn't really matter. Clearly to early to tell. He just matched Petermen's first year
I don't think FSU would hire Taggs and I don't think he's going anywhere but as long as we can trigger Seaver we will -

The Spirit of Aggieland. From the outside looking in you can't understand it. And from the inside looking out, you can't explain it.
