    That site lost credibility with me in the Chandler Parsons thread.
    Somebody referred to him as the white Scottie Pippen.

    We'll see if chandler parson can live up to his contract, otherwise there maybe some chemistry issues.

    Are you kidding me? They overpaid out of desperation, and we let them. Parsons was their ONLY hope at a free agent acquisition of consequence because nobody else chooses them. Monta Ellis might have it all, but what he doesn't have is marketability and a game that will attract other free agents. Parsons is a good player, but that contract is a calling card for BAD GMs.

    They are just overpaying to take a final shot or 2 before Dirk is gone. Something good teams generally due to take a shot. Their mistake was thinking they were that good before the signing. Question we should be asking were we that potentially good?

    I hated losing Parsons for nothing and still do, but they just paid a max contract for Chandler Parsons. If that's what makes them happy, then so be it.

    As an Aggie, reading that link reminds me of browsing the Shaggybevo or Orangebloods forums.

    "I've never considered A&M a true rival"

    "A&M is our idiot little brother; it's really just about us and Oklahoma"

    "Aggies are a delusional fanbase whose only joy in life comes from bashing Austin because College Station is the worst place on earth"

    It's just generic fan forum talk, not a scientific study, so don't get too wound up about it. In fact, they're probably the same folks that post the inter-collegiate rivalry drivel on those UT and A&M fan sites.

    Dont really care what they say on another board, but all I have to say is I am so glad we can't put gifs in our signature. That would be so annoying.
    Anyways I wish Parsons well. Not a Rocket, dont care about him anymore.
