  1. Who the fuck is Jack Harlow?
  2. I just had to look that up . . . This place makes the Maldives look mountainous.
  3. The judge summarized Johnatakis’ sovereign citizen claims as “bullshit” and “gobbledygook,” according to NBC News.
  4. The first couple of years Mrs. Bullneck and I were married ^^ that was super accurate. Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners were a beating. She buys a lot of ready made stuff now and it's much easier and lower stress.
  5. Looks like their next coach will be either Ryan Day leaving tOSU or Jeff Traylor leaving UTSA. But reading the copy on DCTF it's easy to see why they have an inflated self opinion. Ryan Day, Dabo Swinney, Lincoln Riley are amongst group of big name head coaches Texas A&M should vet to replace Jimbo Fisher as head coach of the Aggies Mike CravenNov 22 10:25 am Texas A&M is one of the 10 best jobs in college football. The Aggies have the resources with Aggies United leading the NIL charge. They have the fan support – over 94,000 attended a Week 12 home game against Abilene Christian. And they have the recruiting base with College Station 90 miles from Houston and 180 to Dallas, not to mention the home base of bEast Texas. The 2021 coaching carousel taught us not to limit possibilities in these searches. USC hired away the head man at Oklahoma. LSU stole the Notre Dame head coach. Nothing is off limits. As the landscape of college football changes, jobs rise and fall in the pecking order. If Texas A&M was a stock, you’d want to buy now. The most obvious names to replace Jimbo Fisher include Mike Elko, Jeff Traylor, Jedd Fisch, Jonathan Smith, and Lance Leipold. But what is the biggest fish the Aggies could reel in with a perfect cast? Let’s go deep sea fishing. Dabo Swinney, Clemson: Talk to enough Aggies and you’ll eventually find one with deep pockets and an affinity for what Swinney represents and the culture fit he’d represent for Texas A&M. He checks all the boxes. Great recruiter. National champion. Old-school mentality. Southern. Swinney and the Clemson faithful haven’t exactly seen eye-to-eye (hi, Tyler from Spartanburg) during a “down” year for the Tigers. His buy out is $5 million, and he already makes over $10 million. Texas A&M probably has PTSD with those types of figures and avoids Swinney unless he’s willing to take on a contract that’s more incentive based. Ryan Day, Ohio State: What happens to Day if his Buckeyes lose to Michigan to close out the regular season for the third year in a row? We’re not saying he’d get fired, but we’re not saying both parties wouldn’t be better off with a clean slate. Day would represent a massive coup for Texas A&M. His teams consistently win 10-plus games and compete for spots in the College Football Playoff. He recruits tremendously and his offenses always rank amongst the top in the FBS. Don’t completely discount the possibility if the Buckeyes lose to the Wolverines and are out of the CFP picture. Kalen DeBoer, Washington: The problem here might be timing. If DeBoer’s Huskies beat Oregon in the Pac-12 championship, he’d be unavailable until January. Texas A&M fired Fisher two weeks before the season ended for the chance to get a head start on his replacement. The transfer portal opens Dec. 4 and the early signing period isn’t long after that. The Aggies have a roster and 2024 recruiting class to compete right away under a new head coach if that hire can salvage the roster. Waiting for a name like DeBoer, who’d be a home run hire, just might not be an option. Lincoln Riley, USC: The shine is fading on the former Oklahoma head coach because of his team’s inability to play defense at multiple spots. He left the Sooners for USC and an easier road in the Pac-12 only for the Trojans to leave for the Big 10. His style doesn’t fit that conference, and he isn’t exactly killing it on the recruiting trail in Southern California. Riley is a Texas native with a penchant for explosive offenses that create Heisman Trophy winners. Mike Norvell, Florida State: Sure, the last time Texas A&M hired away the Florida State head coach it didn’t go so well, but Norvell is not Fisher. He crushed it at Memphis (look what happened to the Tigers after he left) and has resurrected Florida State from a three-win team in 2020 to the verge of a CFP berth in 2023. He’s won at least 10 games in the past two seasons and runs a creative and modern offense.
  6. Probably. I thought about labeling it as such but got lazy (also, not 100% sure!).
  7. I was destined for another long and boring Tuesday night. Then I discovered . . . MACtion!
  8. Not sure where this goes exactly, but here's Shane Buechele and his Super Bowl ring.
  9. Not sure where to put this. Comic, yes, but in a sad way. Oklahoma? Yes, but not really football. And I'm not starting a cockfighting thread. Or gamefowl. Whatever.
  10. 1. Been covered. 2. Been covered. 3. No idea what this means. 4. This either. Why is "throwing shade at the D establishment" so important?
  11. What are the other possibilities? KSU v. KU? OSU v. OU?
  12. If anyone is wondering: ISU is at KState BYU is at OkieState TCU is at OU The Big XII could have solved most of their problems over the years (Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri, aggy leaving), the stupid tiebreaker in 2008, etc. by just using their heads and being proactive. But no, they all seem to be Kent Hance level of stupid. Their could have been 12 actual teams and two divisions but they opted for the dumbest round robin format imaginable.
  13. OK. Supply & demand for a particular stock? Social security? Couldn't be a 401k or IRA (see below) What caused this $.40 increase? Was it good (bigger executive bonuses) or bad (living wages for employees)? Do tell! UT Tyler, I'd guess. They have a 65% acceptance rate.
  14. I'm with you on this, especially the bolded part. Just out of curiosity, how many economics classes did you actually take? Or do you just watch a lot of Fox news?
