  2. Everyone knows the wheels on the bus go round and round. Everyone knows that. I learned it at Wharton. But what most people don't know is that the wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish. Lots of people don't know that. I had a man come up to me, big man, big as a bus, and he said, "Thank you. I didn't know that and you taught me. I thought the wipers went swoosh, swoosh." Can you believe that? Swoosh, swoosh? Fake sounds.

  3. I miss the old pizza hut restaurants that were around when I was a kid. Table top video games, hot pizza, and a cold pitcher of Pepsi. Current pizza hut can kiss my ass. https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/01/foolproof-pan-pizza-recipe.html

  4. Whittington being good has nothing to do with his post. Whittington was not recruited as a RB. He was not recruited by Drayton (thank the gods on that one) and was NOT some master plan to overcome the fuckery that is Stan Drayton and his fucking donut hole batting average recruiting RB to fucking Texas. Whittington's talent and skillset does serve to cover up the abject failure that is Drayton.

  5. Trump joking around with Putin telling him not to interfere in our elections with a smirk on his face and clearly meaning the opposite is the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen a president do. And with trump that bar is set pretty low already. Surly trolls. Come forth and defend dear leader! We need to hear from you!

  7. The famous aggy/Baylor fight is a story that isn't often told in its full context. The aggys had long been known as bumpkins and jerks and were disliked by most of the state of Texas. The week before the Baylor game, they players SMU in Dallas. The aggy cadets in the stands were predictably obnoxious, harassing the women in the stands watching the game. There was a fight in the stands with the SMU fans at that game, also. With knowledge the aggy fans had harassed the women at the SMU games, the Baylor fans were not in the mood to tolerate the rednecks doing the same. When the first aggy started acting like an ass, the Baylor fans let loose and started beating their asses. Over time, the ags made up the story of hauling a stolen 3,000 practice howitzer on a flatbed rail car with the intent of committing mass murder on the Baylor campus. Keep in mind the howitzer was ordinarily pulled by a team of horses, but the aggys want people to believe after the cadets broke into the armory and committed a felony by stealing federal property, the kids alone moved the gun miles to the train, lifted it themselves onto the rail car, and managed to transfer the piece to another train (there was no direct rail service between College Station and Waco at the time). All without anyone connected with the railroad asking what a bunch of teenagers were doing with a howitzer.The dumbest part of the howitzer/ train story is that there was no live ammunition ever stored even remotely close to College Station. They had no artillery range. They needed no live ammunition. They practiced using wooden dummpy ammunition, which is what they would have had with them on the train, had it actually happened. but aggys, being dumber than stumps, actually believe "howitzer on the train" fairy tale.

  9. If you are implying in any way that it is possible to draw up a Venn diagram using "MILF" as one variable, and there is any overlap with anything at all about the ag-bag lady, then we need to get you in front of a judge ASAP, because an enforced stay in the rubber room is in your near future.

  16. Not sure if I ever mentioned this story before but my buddy’s son-in-law is some sort of ace fighter pilot and Trump visited his base and they asked his squadron or whatever to come in and talk with him. Before Trump came in, one of his handlers told them: 1) make sure the height on your seat is set low, Trump won’t be happy if he sees someone sitting taller than him. 2) “speak to him as if you are talking to a 9 year old.” thats an exact quote. he said trump spent the first part of their meeting asking if females were as good as the male pilots. Don’t remember the rest, but the guy apparently came away appalled such a fucking idiot was our President.

  23. Yes we absolutely have to land guys like Broughton and Bijian, because we can not land the Evans and Breeses of the world. Some of you guys are still living in 2002 the game has changed and Texas was dead for almost a decade. We’re Texas means nothing past the Sabine. We have to lock down the recruits we need in our territory because it becomes 10x harder to win battles in other territory especially the SEC. Every battle for the instate Top 100 player we lose means we are forced to pick up a Top 500 player from out of state. A&M bringing the fucking snakes from the SEC into Texas only makes this job more difficult. The dead weight on this staff means we are often poaching Top 500 kids from programs like TCU and Arkansas and that’s not how you build a title winning team.

  28. look, i'm sympathetic to the emotional trauma of visiting auschwitz, so please don't take my posts as an ultimate attack on you personally. bikenau was a death camp. that was its complete raison d'etre. seeing the inhuman indecency that happened there can rock your soul. but words do have meaning. we are imprisoning these people, when we don't have to do so. and we are doing so with a stark lack of humanity. it's a concentration camp. the purpose is to be punitive. we don't have to treat these people like this. ultimately, we don't even have to let them into our country. but in the interim, we could treat them with compassion. why are we not doing that? because the cruelty is the point. that's why the concentration camp definition is true, and, frankly, it's why it bothers people. folks don't like uncomfortable truths. take a look at he american statesman thread on the current events board. i would posit that if the concentration camp nomenclature bothers us, it's because it's telling us truths about ourselves that we don't want to confront.

  29. LSU fans are clearly delusional. They seem to think that going away from their personnel strengths and emphasizing their weaknesses on offense is somehow going to help them. Their OL is huge, strong and SLOW. They are optimized for drive blocking for the run in confined spaces. They will not be at their best when asked to pull and find a defender in space. They will be even worse when called upon to pass block against a quick edge rusher or blitzer - as was demonstrated by the huge number of sacks (35) and TFLs (89) they gave up last year. It's an OL designed to run power between the tackles, not to spring the QB outside on an RPO or to pass protect. The WR corps is big and mostly fast, somewhat like Georgia (emphasizing athletes) but with a bit more size and less speed. The other thing they have in common with UGa's WR corps is that they've shown athletic ability but not much in the way of decision making for option routes in the quick game. For that, you need good judgement and being on the same page as the QB. The former is unproven but LSU doesn't recruit players (or students for that matter) for their brains. The later requires a lot of combined reps - which is exactly what they won't have in game 2 it they really have installed a whole new offense in the off season. Going from run 5 yds and turn around or run deep to having to diagnose the defense requires very different qualities - ones that frankly none of the LSU WRs have ever proven. And they want to build all of this around a 57% passer in Joe Burrow. His running is very similar to Baylor's Charlie Brewer or ISU's Brock Purdy but he's not in their league as a passer. The guy showed he can make the one tough yard and pick up decent chunks on the occasional scramble but he's not a guy I'd want back there as either a runner or passer on 3rd and long. Finally there is the comfort factor. SEC teams may be disconcerted to see this style of offense executed with high-level talent. The outcome of both the Sugar Bowl and NCG would argue for that. But that is a total non-factor in the Big XII, where teams have been defending against the Spread with personnel optimized to run it for a generation now. WVU ran a power-based run spread even before they arrived in the conference and Tom Herman certainly can diagnose it. In short, LSU may be switching to a new system that Texas is intimately familiar with - much more so than Orgeron One LSU is badly staffed to run that system and will likely do so worse than almost anyone in the Big XII. They going away from their strengths and towards their weaknesses or at best unproven and untested qualities. It may pay dividends against SEC opponents who have demonstrated clear vulnerability to such offenses assuming it's handled well. For Texas, it just drops right into the comfort zone of a defense that faces this sort of thing every week both in practice and during games.
