Disgusting and damning if true, but I would encourage everyone to wait until real proof is made public on this before running wild with this as fact. It has already been a very tough week and having to wipe egg off your face would be just another bitter pill to swallow.

I don't think there was a mass conspiracy to lose, and I believe making that claim makes us look insane. It does, however, look like there are plenty of provable things that will come out... I think we should let it all flow out to national media. Looks like there are plenty willing to take up the cause.


Doing what he did violated every contract for A&M and baseball. He essentially was doing what's in the best interest for another team while being employed by A&M

Nothing will happen. NIL collectives have almost no rules. Nothing stopping a t.u. collective from negotiating with current players of any school to come play for them. Del Conte just has to mention it to them at whatever benefit he's attending that evening to start contacting and negotiating with A&M players on deals for next year. Players probably "knew" the minute the unofficial agreement with Schloss was made because their phone probably started blowing up with NIL offers from groups affiliated with that school.

I will disagree that Schloss or any player didn't give 100% in the Series. Every single one of them wanted to win a National Championship.

Nothing will happen. No evidence will ever get leaked. This will all get shut down quickly with a couple of transactions to keep people quiet.

I think at the end of the day money blah blah blah tradition, CDC, blah blah blah- it won't be about any of that- if he moves it's just because he doesn't like **** and feels about them like most on this board do.

I think this is it. I dont think he ever liked it here. The overreaction to the newspaper, complaining about one thing or another constantly. I dont ever expect our coaches to buy all the way in and become Aggies, but I think Jim ended up with something resembling disdain for our fanbase. Some folks have thrown out Turgeon 2.0, and I think that is apt. There was just always an air of superiority towards us.


Yep. Which is why this needs to be punished. He didn't leave us for Florida and take kids. He didn't move to a better league. He literally went to the one place that would be unforgivable, took his whole staff, and is trying to take players. He did this with intent. It wasn't just a "better job". It was done in a way that intentionally harmed us.

To be fair, that's just a quick trip to hobby lobby and a few balloon inflators.

Yes, sure they wanted to win, but what a distraction to the players already knowing they were leaving for tu and bigger $$$ and some of the others that had to have known as well. Shocked it wasnt leaked earlier by a player's family/girlfriend/friend of a friend, etc.

One different swing/pitch by any number of the players could have been the difference in game 3 vs. them thinking about the impending transfer to tu....

Can anyone post a link to the "newspaper" incident?


It was after he lost a midweek game to a **** opponent. I remember wishing he worried about the game as much as he did a fan with a newspaper.
It was when we got swept by freakin' Portland last year.
https://www.on3.com/college/texas-am-aggies/news/watch-jim-schlossnagle-hammers-aggie-fans-over-disloyal-behavior/
"I believe in 'em. I believe in 'em. I've been telling him the whole time, I believe in 'em," Schlossnagle said. "This is a tough game. We get our own fans yelling at our players over the dugout. I don't what kind of place this is but I thought there was some Aggie loyalty around here. I've got a dude holding up a frickin' newspaper on one of the dance teams over on the other side. But I don't know. I need to keep my mouth shut but I'm excited for our team, excited for the crowd, happy for the core. The crowd played a big role in the game long as they keep cheering for our guys."

Am I being dramatic? This hire is the most important athletic hire in the history of men's Texas A & M sports.

Let me lay out my case:

1) This sucks

2) He's a great coach; losing him to them hurts.

3) The way he did this has irreparably harmed his reputation but if he wins ( which he likely will ) none of this will matter.

4) The reality is the perception that we are little brother has always been there for better or worse. It's not going away, but I think it is not an understatement that this hire will have ripple effects across other sports and the sporting world in general. Do we really think that a recruit considering us or them won't remember this that arguably a top 5 coach in their respective sport chose them over us.

5) We have to absolutely nail this. It has to be the biggest fish. I don't know who that is. Honestly, it has to be Vitello or Corbin. Perhaps Forbes at UNC.

That's it. There are repercussions far beyond baseball if we don't get this right. Vitello would be an absolute **** you right back at them. Game on.

inflator.

Yeah, but I don't think Michael's carries those lighted signs. They may have had to cinch up their heel straps, clinch their butts, and head to a suburb with a hobby lobby to get the sign.

just thinking logically-

Schloss could demand MORE MONEY from TU if he was a national champion rather than a runner up.

he has ZERO reason to want to deliberately tank a national title.

not to mention he would be one of the few to win multiple titles at different universities.

don't buy it.
Me neither.

College athletics has become such a slimy affair. It breaks my heart.

And many will say, including many Aggies here, that universities have no choice but be part of the slime to stay in the game and that just breaks my heart even more.

It is becoming very clear that there is NO place in college athletics for loyalty, integrity and honesty anymore.

ESPN is going to have a hell of a time finding and selling those feel-good, sob stories for Gameday.

Just really not sure why he took our job - he was a dude with plenty of options year to year. Maybe he didn't have an opinion until he got here. The leadership situation at A&M has been a bit of a CF in his time here, so maybe he was just done with all of it.
apparently waiting until t.u. Fired their coach

This plan has been in the making since he came here. He wanted tu job, but CDC couldnt fire pierce with how he was performing at tu at the time. Whats the most pain they can put on their rival? Have a coach go there, win, and then steal him when the moment is right… all the way up to game 3 of cws finals. Max pain. He didnt account for the colossal **** up of a post game interview from schloss. And not sure if they just thought they would get away with the lie and deceit, and nil recruiting our players to tu while still being head coach at a&m. Hope it all comes out. Hope schloss and company never coach again, hope a&m sues the everloving hell out of tu and schloss

We need a DA or State prosecutor to address this violation of state law if he was using a burner phone on state business to hide from proper oversight. This isn't a matter we hire Buzbee for.
