  1. *for what it's worth and I've said this in the past... IF you have surround sound on your tv system, unplug the center speaker that has all of the booth commentary/tv commercial sound running through it. This allows me to watch the game(s) with little to no bullshit play by play or color analyst. It's like being at the game in person, but being able to silence the idiots in your vicinity so you only see/hear the game itself. It's dope.

    49-0

    TL:DR version... OU sucks.
  3. Or, as he most likely puts it... "The Business Model" Billy is Goebbels, and just like his audience did, the aggy faithful (despite the years and years of evidence to the contrary) drink up the Kool-Aid and believe what he feeds them with little to no pushback, lest you be seen as a "2%'er". Assuming he keeps the lights on and they don't turn on him, he's going to live like a king in CS and die a wealthy man, all thanks to morons that insist upon someone taking their money from them.
  4. Texas won 50-20. The best part, was my diehard aggy friend was still on RC's side until they showed the locker room speech he gave to his players before they went out on the field to play Texas. Verbatim..., "Men, I want you to go out there and savor this game like it's the last bowl of Blue Bell Ice Cream." The look on the player's faces and my buddy's as they heard that was priceless.
  5. CSB: When I lived in College Station, some aggy friends and I would always make the Wings-N-More RC Slocum call in show at the restaurant. The show prior to the Texas game in his final season will always be a favorite memory for me. Usually, people showed up early and requested to sit in the room with the show to hear coach pontificate about the previous game and how they would do in the next. They had beaten #1 OU at home 2 weeks earlier, only to lose to unranked Mizzou the following week, also at home. The writing was on the wall, but they still had to play Texas in Austin. We showed up at our normal 30 mins before the show and it was packed with people. We got the 2nd to last table in the room, and it was relatively normal and just like every other time we'd gone. You could hear Dave South mumbling something to himself about getting the radio equipment ready and to start as soon as RC walked into the room. Then, RC walks in as if the mute button was pressed on the room. Quiet. Every person in that room had a red face and was staring daggers into RC as he deliberately made his way to the table with Dave. No handshakes or high-fives today. The restaurant has food out for RC and Dave to enjoy while this interview goes on, but neither touched their plates or drinks. Dave gives the introduction as if someone has just informed him that his favorite dog has died, most likely at the hands of RC, then asks a handful of the softest questions imaginable. RC begins to speak and the ambient temperature rises about 2 degrees with the end of every sentence. The show lasted about half the normal length of time, Dave sounded as depressed as when Zeigler caught the ball, and I was the only person smiling in the room. I'll never forget the feeling that room had and I respected the hell out of RC after getting through it. That room was pissed off and wanted to see RC fired on the spot and he knew it. As deafening as the silence was when RC arrived, the room was equally as deafening when he left. I haven't heard the word "fired" that much since The Apprentice marathon on CNBC. 🤘
  6. MJ over Alcohol... all day long. Alcohol is delicious but depression fuel that kills your joints and drive.
  7. I lived there for 10 years and it pisses me off to no end that I didn't once think to put googly eyes on any of the statues on campus. Total miss on my part. My bad.
  8. “Well, I think anytime you're a receiver, and you're playing with a broken hand, that's a pretty important aspect of your game,” Sarkisian said. “And that guy never wanted to sit out or not play. He came to work. He fought through it. There were days in practice where we purposely didn't throw him balls just to take some of the pressure off of it. But I think we're going to see a version of Xavier Worthy, that's going to be dramatically different now that he's healthy.” I guess "dramatically different" means he's going to catch the ball. Cool. That's what we need in our WR group...catching.
  9. Rubes. Almost all of them are rubes. My favorite part of the move to sec is that all that conference love they spouted about when they joined is all but gone and their bitterness towards it is in full swing. “Texas only does what’s good for Texas!” - some texag rube Yeah. No shit. That’s literally the job. To do what is best for your school you work for. Why is that so hard to grasp? Also, I just want to beat the teams on our schedule. If you’re not on the schedule I don’t give a fuck about you or your team.
  10. ...Did you feel that? I felt something. It might be gas, but it was a low, deep type of rumbl... nope. It was just gas. Still, I bet the ripple is coming though. Any minute... wait, I don't exactly feel it, but I hear something. It sounds like clicking or maybe a metallic sound of something moving across metal. Almost as if it's some sort of track system, like a rollercoaster car traveling up the first hill, maybe? Yeah, that's it. It's a rollercoaster.
  11. Notice they referred to it as six "Texases". Not six "Floridas". Or six "Alabamas". Or even six "aggy". They acknowledge we're Top Dog even when they try to put us down. The best part of that diatribe is the fact he lists aggy last. He did that because he just couldn't let his Ego put that sentence on paper without including aggy on it, but he knows it isn't true or he would have listed them at or near the beginning. Reading it just makes you laugh for a new reason each time. #Giftthatkeepsgiving
  12. Hello, Mr. Flood. Thank you for all that you do, Kyle! 🤘
  13. This is probably the most clear, succinct explanation of the aggy hive mind and their inability to change or evolve. It never deviates. That's because aggy is that weird cousin that you go to talk to at a reunion/family get together, wherein you can't remember why everyone else talks bad about them or tells you to avoid, until 5 mins into a conversation with them. Then you get it. Aggys/Vegans/Crossfitters - They HAVE TO find a way to talk about themselves. The conversation always leads back to them and their thing. Classic external locus of control. It's not my fault, it's everything else, outside of me, that is the problem. Sound familiar?
  14. This picture is killing me. I had to show it to my wife (no pics), just to make sure I wasn't crazy, and she called it immediately. What bride in their right mind has bridesmaids' dresses that are white? Even if the camera messed with the coloring, that's too close to white and doesn't allow the bride to stand out at all. What a racist dipshit.
  15. To put it into perspective for me, Nolan Ryan also had a lot of "close calls" with no-hitters and he is also still known as one of the greatest of all time. People get bogged down in numbers sometimes and forget that the journey to even get to Omaha is not a cake walk. Getting to Omaha is an accomplishment, winning there is even more so, let alone, taking it all down. Now, you can tell how special Nolan was looking at the number of no-hitters, but his numbers showing how close he was are even more impressive. That's how I view Texas Baseball. 🤘 7 career no-hitters (next-most is 4) 12 career 1-hitters, tied with Bob Feller 18 career 2-hitters 31 career 3-hitters
  16. Good. Hopefully, they are trying to figure out how to not have to go through with it.
  17. Hamish: Some men are bigger than others... Hamish's Father: I see your mother has been telling stories about me.
  18. I asked the question and @Al_4_ISU was nice enough to answer me. I truly didn't know what it specifically related to and I'm glad I have this info going forward. I'll miss ISU and KSU, as I respect both schools and most of the fans I've meet since they joined us in the creation of the Big XII. Both teams are a tough out and play hard. I'd take ISU to go with us in a heartbeat, but I get why that won't happen. I hope ISU or OSU win the conference the year after we leave it. While I'm hoping though, I hope Baylor collapses into a sinkhole... due to some construction site mishap involving Chip and/or Joanna while renovating another shitty Waco house.
  19. What is this and what does it mean? Just two agriculture schools playing each other or is it something deeper? Or, do you just prefer when your school plays another "farm" school?
  20. This sounds like the Jim Gaffigan bit about vacations... “...Why don’t we eat something, then we’ll go get something to eat? Then we should see that thing we’re supposed to see; they probably have a snack bar, so we can get something to eat. But after that, we definitely gotta go out and get something to eat.”
  21. Damn, FCB, is looking rough these days. I hadn't seen a picture of him in a minute, and those bags under the eyes tell a better story than he writes.
