Who is that young guy that regularly asks questions to Schloss in press conferences? He is really good and asks great questions. They need to get him into the football press conferences.

It's all done on purpose. Not having to answer real questions makes him look better.

I don't know. Possibly.

Sports journalism as an occupation doesn't tend to attract the best and brightest.

The issue is that you have to throw all of these softball questions in order to keep your credentials. People get so upset these days when you criticize them, football programs have been known to ban reporters and take away credentials from people who ask tough questions. It surely is no different at A&M.

Actually, I think I would care about hearing what he has to say on this matter than the usual coachspeak. No coaches are telling you anything in the spring anyway.

Now that more and more Aggie teams are putting out a high quality product, it is time to stream all Aggie games that are not otherwise picked up by commercial outlets.
For example: Soccer and Volleyball. This may possibly turn some women's sports into a profit center if enough people see the product quality and build a fan base. I also noted that on a recent recruiting weekend, a number of recruits elected to watch the #1 Aggie baseball team during their visit.

The SECN+ channel needs to step and make their product more available. Right now getting the SECN+ stream is a "Where's Waldo" exercise.

I recognize him. It's Hubert Farnsworth. A young, aggressive, reporter trying to make a name for himself

Umm…I think the key issue is you can't favorite those sports and the ESPN app isn't designed to recognize your previous watching preferences by school or other fan relationship except via favorite teams.

But search generally works.

Why? He isn't in the top 574,714 people whose opinions on Bonfire I would care about.

What's funny are questions about college traditions during the NIL era. As if that remotely matters when "students" are "attending" and being paid by three different schools during the same semester.

Call it for what it is, which is NFL lite with players bouncing around between teams and waivers like it's training camp.

The old college try is gone, and if you think it's not you might want to have your head examined.

So coach, how do you feel about this year's free agent signings? Did you overpay on any of the contracts?

These guys are all kiss ups trying to be friends with the coaches. No one wants to ask the hard questions. This is not new though.

That's not exclusive to Aggie media. It's a major part of the reason I hardly listen to any sports radio anymore; all discussion and analysis being driven by access. And you can easily tell who has access to whom, by whether the hosts absolutely love someone or absolutely hate them. It leads to a lot of silly discussions about personality, attitude, and whatever intangibles are buzzy that day - but little real analysis of gameplay or individual performance.

Maybe college AD's have followed the pro's example of controlling access based on coverage, I honestly don't know, but if that's the case, it certainly isn't unique to Aggieland.

It's all crappy, all the time.

y'all really think that a major colleges SID is going to allow a reporter to ask difficult questions like a coaches play calling or why he played or didn't play a certain player? Nope!

"bad decision coach"

Honestly, if the presser is boring it probably means things are going well. The more entertaining Jimbo's got the worse the team was doing.

They can't all be Mike Leach.

It's not about asking difficult questions right now. Elko is on a clean slate, so there is nothing to be critical of. It's about asking questions about things fans want to hear about at the end of spring practice. Do people really care what the college adjustment period was like for Elko years ago or would they rather hear how the linebackers are looking in the new scheme and who might be pushing for that open spot next to York?

Thanks for your questions, I'll answer them.

- I don't feel anything about our free agents, in fact I care so little I don't have any feelings at all. After 32 years, my buddy and I dropped our 4 season tickets to this new era of "college football" two years ago.

- I don't feel we overpaid for any of our contracts because I now charge more than that for my appearance fee to the games.

**** our tradition. Especially losing.
