1. It is Aggie Family, NOT Aggie Nation

2. Founder/Owner of Buc-cees is an Aggie. Coach M may have known that, and if he didn't probably knows it now, but I thought he would have made a reference to that when he dropped those great lines.

There has just GOT to be some kind of tie-in there in our future promotions.

Never. We're the 12th Man.
Aggie Nation is stupid.

He had me as soon as he walked out to UGK. Call me whatever you want as long as you're winning

I would argue that it's AggieLand instead of Aggie Nation.

I'm sure he'll put that right above Xs and Os in winning basketball game to get corrected.

After listening to the press conference, he's a breath of fresh air. He has so much more confidence and believes he is going to bring us a great program. So much better than Buzz's, "I'm not very good" attitude. That fake humbleness from Buzz was tiring. Appreciated Bucky's transparency about what to expect next year.

He's gonna get it done and I'm sure he'll fix what he's calling/referring to the Aggies. He might even fix the bevel too.

First time on TexAgs?
We argue over minutia.
Also, don't ever equate a TexAgs opinion with a "strong" opinion.
People argue for the sake of it here.

Let's not scare him with the weirdness until he's fully moved in.
I resolve in 2026 to be more tolerant and respectful of trolls and emotionally fragile, overly pessimistic posters so they don’t run crying to the mods and have me banned for three days.

"Strong Opinion"? probably not

Irritant like fingernails on a chalkboard? yeah, absolutely


but seriously, Bucky seems to want to stress his desire to immerse himself in the 12th Man. I think there's a real distinction between referring to students, alumni, and their relateds as the Aggie Family vs. the ubiquitous, overused, stale, and sterile "Nation".

If Aggies were EVER known for one thing, it's that we take pride in marching to a slightly different drum.

No we don't. You're wrong. That's the worst take I've heard in a while and it's not even close.

That press conference was Day 3 for him on the job. Pretty sure he'll make a few more gaffaws.

Also, pretty sure the media handlers in the AD told him "… probably best to say 'The 12th Man' next time"

The biggest (only) thing he needs to worry about and work on is his roster. Everything else is window dressing.

I was thinking the same thing the other day.

I wonder what kind of assimilation process new HC's have to go thru so that they fully "get A&M" - AND how much of that happens before or after they accept the job.

I'd imagine it happens after and most of it organically
