God damn, it sure feels good every time we beat that piece of shit school Kansas State. To have done it 6 times in a row is fantastic. Anyone old enough to have followed the Big 12 since 1998 knows exactly what the fuck I’m talking about.42 points

This fanbase is an incel. Texas just beat the #13 ranked team on the road and is 6-3 and bowl eligible in Y2 following 10+ years of failure. And all you stubby fingered message board geniuses can do is bitch and moan. Newsflash - This program ain't been TEXAS for a long time. The belief that your lazy, fat, couch sitting ass has a better clue on how to run a Tier 1 D1 football blue blood program is laughable. Probably wasting breath, but stop being clowns. At this point, it's just aggy behavior. Be better.29 points

This is a really good idea. While you’re at it, do you have any other recruiting violations you’d like us to put in writing with our players?24 points

Can we talk about the fact that we were down 2 games to 1 and were facing two more road games against a team that was unbeaten at home in the playoffs, then our staff of savages held them to 3 runs over 3 games? I mean, god damn.23 points

Just got back from watching at my mother in laws. Bittersweet moment seeing her choke up as they won, knowing nothing would’ve made her husband happier than seeing this. Watching this team has been a real bonding experience for us over the last month as we’ve navigated moving on with our lives, especially for my MIL. Hell, we watched all 18 innings together the evening after the funeral. To spend so much time together rooting on the Astros is something I’ll always cherish.22 points

What are people expecting from the defense? They gave up 10 points in the first half. Then the offense shit the bed in the second half - committed turnovers, penalties, and couldn't move the ball - and the defense gave up all of 17 points in the second half. We held Kansas St. below their season average - while the offense did everything in their power to lose the game in the second half. We had phantom Facemask penalties called and there was holding all night - but people want to blame the defense for this game?20 points

Another one I forgot. Anytime we had a pre snap penalty all the Aggies around us would yell “that was us” or “we did that” even though it wasn’t loud.19 points

Sitting in a deer blind, after having slept (a little) on this one. And it’s just damned sweet. The Astros were my first sport love, going to games with my grandpa when he’d come up to visit. When he had a stroke and was bedridden in ass-nowhere Mexico, we’d go down to visit, and I’d bring a stack of newspaper articles and other materials about the stros of that era - Cruz, Ashby, Cabell - he’d listen, clutch my hand, and sometimes laugh, sometimes cry. In high school, I went to dozens of games a year in the $3 bleacher seats, including that great season in 86. I was at a college fair, listening on the radio, when they lost to the Mets in game 6. I married a Houston girl. She’d grown up a Stros fan too. So that’s how we raised our kids, including a boy who ended up being a pretty damn good high school CF. Fandom in his youth was hard; the Rangers were good, and popular among his peers. The Astros weren’t. But I explained that we were an Astros family, and he got it. He’d come up in the morning and look at the sports page, and even as a kid, mutter “dammit…the Astros lost.” Then we got to watch the rise. We watched 2017’s game 5 together, a collection of anxiety, pacing the room. We watched the final out of game 7, tears in our eyes. Later, we got tickets for the ALCS, and watched his favorite player, Altuve, hit a walkoff HR. Drove back to Austin that night, listening to the radio replay over and over. This year, he was moving away from home to start college. He wanted an Astros jersey before he left. They were hard to find, but he finally found one, with the name of an exciting rookie, Pena. He grabbed it. Now in school in Scotland, he figured out how to stream the games to the tv in the dorm rec room. He’s turned a bunch of Scots onto baseball, and made them Astros fans. They watch games that go till 4:00 am their time, wearing his extra Astros gear. Last night, we got on a video call for the last inning. Oddly enough, his stream was a few seconds ahead of ours (out at a ranch, through Starlink). I knew we’d won before I saw it on our tv screen. I saw my son’s face, and I knew. That’s a fantastic way to win a WS.19 points

Game experience there- I haven’t been since going to a UT game there in the 80’s. Damn that campus us huge especially compared to the 40 acres - I thought we had parking close to the stadium but had to hoof it almost a mile. The little brother complex is strong - besides the whole stadium singing the “saw off the horns” song - I sat during it- every screenshot of fans on the screens had people doing the “horns down”. I don’t really care but these fuckers were playing Florida- not UT…. Tailgate right next to the stadium was nice but not as nice as the loss by them and then getting home in time to watch the Horns and Astros win. And damn, that upper deck is way the fuck up in the clouds and is steep as hell- never have had vertigo or a fear of heights before but maybe I was thinking about aggy engineering and how fast I was going to die when the structure collapsed… Hearing the comments about Jimbo from the diehard, hunch over and grab your nuts on third down crowd was better than most of the posts here…. Salty tears seen live…19 points

You know, I generally try to ignore bullshit narratives that writers build around sports, especially baseball (baseball is a bit sacred for me). I love the numbers, the right ones actually do tell the story (the real story, not the editorial). Call me boring, call me robotic, call me “rain man”, whatever - you wouldn’t be wrong. Because of this, I really haven’t historically had any hatred for other players/teams in baseball. Even when I was 9 in 1986 and was heartbroken by the Mets, I still though Strawberry and Gooden were cool as hell and fun to watch. But then the sign-stealing story dropped, and we witnessed the most absurd, sensationalized, disingenuous media response I can recall (about sports). The writers clung to the story because it was easy material and got clicks. It gave them a heel, which baseball writers have sought throughout history. And of course the fans of all other teams ate it up. Even other players were clutching their pearls publicly when they knew goddamn well that they’d participated in something very similar. And it’s been going on for 3 years now. We’re talking about sign-stealing, but it’s continuously referred to as “scandal” like this was Baylor football or something. Not only is it just sign stealing, but the statistical evidence strongly suggests that it didn’t make any meaningful difference in production or outcomes at the team level. And anecdotal evidence suggests that it was widespread across baseball. The writers’ willful ignorance on this has been egregious. All this is to say that I have to admit to feeling a bit giddy that the Jeff Passans and Buster Olneys of the world have to come up with new material, have to admit that maybe sign stealing wasn’t the story of 2017, have to tell the actual story of a franchise that has been the best in baseball for almost a decade now and isn’t slowing down. They have to tell the story about how Jose Altuve is a goddamned baseball unicorn. They have to change the narrative. So this is all to say - go fuck yourselves, you lazy, unimaginative hacks. And to all the moronic fans who have berated these guys for 3 years…I’m not offended because you’ve been “mean,” I’m offended by how fucking stupid and, again, willfully ignorant all of it is. I told my brother after the sign-stealing story broke that the positive side of it all is that, when we win it again, it’ll kind of feel like the first time again because of everything above. And goddamn, it kind of does. So I guess that’s the gift we all get here.18 points

How they fixed Yordan's swing before Game 6: Early on Saturday, before Game 6, Cintrón scoured video from June, when Álvarez hit .418 with a 1.346 OPS, and he realized that the player’s hands had dropped, making it harder for him to get to the fastball. He called in Díaz, whose eye he trusts on such things and who sometimes helps him communicate with other players. “You know what?” Díaz said. “You’re right.” Cintrón texted Álvarez: I found something. Come to the cage. Initially, Álvarez was unsure. He believed the problem still resided in his lower half. “Yordan, do you trust me?” Cintrón asked. “Yes,” Álvarez said. “Then give me five swings in the cage and see how you feel. If you don’t like it, then you change it.” It didn’t take five swings. Álvarez felt the change immediately. Díaz and Cintrón saw it. They all knew what it meant: “Game over,” said Cintrón later, dripping with an unholy brew of Bud Heavy, Michelob Ultra and Korbel. “I was so pumped,” he said. “I told the front-office guys, the player of the game is going to be Yordan Álvarez.” https://www.si.com/mlb/2022/11/06/yordan-alvarez-world-series-home-run-batting-cage-session18 points

What a ride boys! I'm a semi-frequent poster, but watched nearly every game this season and read every post in this thread this year! Love this team, knew they were great, but the WS is so hard to win. Attended the World Series for the first time in my life this year, games 2 and 6 and am undefeated! What a joy tonight was to see that in person! 2X Champs, Flags Fly Forever! Let's do it again next year!18 points

So, this is what a road victory looks like? Huh. Doesn’t seem like it should be that hard. Glad it happened. In the part of the season now where I don’t really care how it looks, just care if we win or lose. This TCU game is pretty important, and strangely, maybe not really all that important? If Texas gets through the season at 7-2 it’s a guarantee that we go to the big 12 title game and it’s pretty much a guarantee that we play TCU. But, if we lose this one and win out from there (beating KU and Baylor) we will be 6-3 with the tie breaker on everyone else we would be at 6-3 at with the exception of Ok State. So- if KSU loses at Baylor this week (which would be expected I would think) and Ok State loses any of their last 3 games (also I’d expect that- home ISU, @OU, home WVU) we’d be going to the big 12 title game to play TCU. It’s super important for other reasons though. Win this and we get to crush the hopes and dreams of TCU, which is mean but fun. We get a win over a top 5 team. We get to 7 wins on the year with 3 or 4 games left to play from there where coach will have a chance to get past 7 win Steve. We move into the top 15 I’d think, keep recruiting momentum going, set a floor on the drain where many people said would be our season, and should give confidence going into the last 2 games that we’ve turned it around and gotten through the worst of the rebuild in all likelihood. I’m not going to fly a mission accomplished flag or anything, but it keeps all the reasonable goals for the team in play and earns the right to start thinking about some pretty cool stuff after a decade of eating shit. So, this is a pretty pretty pretty big week. game week thoughts, news and notes etc go here.16 points

Got my 12 yr old daughter on her first deer yesterday. We sat the morning looking for does or pigs. Had a pig really early, but not enough light to shoot, then saw four bucks over the next two hours, but no does, which is weird as we have a lot of does. Anyway, we head back to the house at around 9:30, and on the way we see some does. She wants to try for one, so we stop the mule, hop out and put a little stalk on. I’m constantly telling her to go slower and make every step quiet. We get to a fence gate that is a good spot to watch from and rest the rifle on, but the does start moving out. About the 4th candidate for a shot finally stands still watching us for too long. She was quartering on hard to us, but I had gone over shot placement with the kiddo in the blind and just told her to aim halfway up the body inside the shoulder. It was at least a 100 yard shot, maybe 120. We talked through squeezing the trigger slowly, and as she was lining up the shot, I knew the safety was on, but I wanted to watch her trigger pull/flinch to gauge if we needed to calm down and reset, as she was breathing hard. There was zero flinch as she realized the trigger pull wasn’t resulting in a shot and the safety must be on. Very cool, made me feel like we had a good chance at a clean kill. She slid the safety off, re-lined up and put a shot on the doe. I heard the hit and saw the on-side shoulder malfunctioning as the doe spun, and she was down in ~40 yards. Kiddo was stoked. I mean like really stoked. “I am achieving things!!!” Lol It was great. Later she asked me if I noticed her breathing hard before the shot and I said yes, and she said it was because she was tiring of standing on her toes to get the rifle lined up. (The top rail of the gate was a little too high of a rifle rest) Buck fever was evidently not a factor. She had only shot this rifle (300 BLK) off a heavy tripod with subsonics, and I had put in some supers for hunting and now wasn’t using a tripod. I was hoping she wouldn’t notice any difference with the changes and I didn’t mention them as I didn’t want her distracted. Worked great. She really wanted to make it happen, and she did.16 points

HOLY SHIT WE WON THE WORLD SERIES! Still hasn’t quite sunk in. As a die hard fan we all know it’s much more than a single title. Dynasty, redemption, fuck all y’all, whatever. 6 ALCS in a row, 4 WS, 2 titles. Amazing. Fucking amazing.16 points

Gameday coming to Austin for a big recruiting weekend:15 points

The people we interacted with were super nice. Quite a few olds asked us to take it easy on them before the game. The guy sitting next to my wife was from Michigan and was there because his kid went to A&M. The guys on my side were Washington transplants to Austin that were going to a game in every stadium in Texas. They had money on Florida. Our section had more Florida fans than aggies so there wasn’t much chirping from them outside of a lot of crying about the targeting call. It was my wife’s first game there. The guy next to her convinced her to join into their song with all the swaying. We did horns up whenever they talked about sawing off horns or whatever. She didn’t understand what the milk men were doing, and I couldn’t explain it.15 points
