    The ags are predictable because they are such a product of their environment.

    That the ags never point to original source documents and instead always repeat fish camp fairy tales demonstrates the quality of their educational experience in real life. The fact is the ags are largely educated through rote learning. They graduate with no knowledge whatsoever of Socrates. They lack both self-awareness and an ability to demonstrate critical thinking.

    The guy lead off with a hard number, which most aggys do. It is typical of aggys to try to establish a position of authority with initial bluster. Think drill sergeant addressing new recruits. Think fish camp. One foundation of aggy culture is that aggys are taught to know their place. They are taught to willingly submit to authority. They have no concept of others employing critical thinking in response or challenging the underlying premise of their claims.

    As a primitive culture of roughly 500,000 living in modern society, they are a fascinating study, but their uniformity in thought and behavior makes them very easy to identify. They shun work at all times, be it physical effort or the mental effort necessary to gain knowledge and education. They will do as little work as possible to create the impression they have accomplished any task. When challenged whether they have actually completes a task to the level expected, they resort to bluster, thinking the other person will respond as aggys do and become submissive. College Station sucks because aggys half-ass everything. aggy academics trail far behind major engineering schools (MIT, Stanford, Cal Tech, Berkley, etc) because aggys half-ass everything. aggy athletics suck because aggys half-ass everything. The aggy bonfire fell because aggys half-ass everything. aggy research produces next to nothing because aggys half-ass everything. Buster failed because he half-assed his research and his argument. (see where I am going here?)

    Dear Buster was sent home to get his shine box because he showed up, demonstrated classic aggy intellectual weakness, and got his ass kicked by Socrates. Buster will probably come back and again act like his typical aggy self and any one of us can refer back to our education and send him on his way. It was just a real life example of the value of two different educations - rote learning vs meaningful learning. Buster failed because the aggy education failed Buster. Fuck aggy. The people of Texas deserve better.

    With all due respect, you are anything but Socratic. 

  2. Current gator here, I can attest to our poor qb play over the past few years (damn you Will Grier!). Watching the gator offense over the past few years has been like going clubbing with your friends and seeing your crush make out with a douchey frat star.

    I'll be rooting for Switzerland. I started watching them in 2014, and I've followed them ever since. Their absolute ceiling is a quarterfinal appearance, but I'll be rooting for them nonetheless.

    You are full of shit.

    Good point.  And another problem I have is reading greens.  Some reads are obvious, but sometimes I can't read a putt to save my life.  Then there's the grain issue.

    Is there a trick to it besides the obvious?  I tend to over read every break.

    I grew up in Houston and if your username suggests where you live, then I can say most greens in Houston don't break as much as you think. I payed tournaments as a junior around the Houston area and I always over read breaks. That being said, on long putts it is better to leave on the high side and on short putts I would avoid playing anything outside of the hole. Unless, the slope is really severe, but generally it is better to ram the shorter ones in with confidence by not giving up too much of the hole and hit them in with some pace.

    You nailed it.  Short game.  It's 60% of your strokes - you do the math.  

    I started working on my short game a ton - once I get my irons figured out, I expect to be back as a single digit handicap.  Lots of chipping and pitching.  Every angle and shot you can imagine - flops, chip/roll outs, long carry pitches, etc.  Get a good shag bag of 30-50 balls and spend 1-2 hours a day just chipping and pitching.  Your scores will come down in a hurry.  

    I agree! But, you an't ignore putting. I have a similar problem to houtex, but I would say my chipping and pitching is above average. It doesn't matter if you can hit it within a five foot radius of 80-90% of your chips when you can't sink a five footer on a consistent basis.
