  1. I was critical of Taaffe last year, as most of us were, and frankly it was valid. But the kid worked his ass off and shut us all up. I've asked more than once if any Longhorn has *ever* improved more from one season to the next. I haven't heard any names thrown out yet. So yeah, keep making us all eat crow and go get that trophy, sir!
  2. Exactly. I was about to add that their average season at home over those years is about 5-2, with 3 of the wins coming against Lamar, McNeese, and Bowling Green. So yeah it's a tough place to play if your team sucks. If you're bowl eligible, you're gonna win there about half the time. If you're actually good, more than that.
  3. Fun fact Aggy has lost 17 home games in the last 10 years.
  4. This can't be a real post. How about 2005 Texas @ tOSU and literally hundreds of other road environments that featured a top 10 home team, or even a top 25 home team, in a big game? Yeah, Kyle is a big stadium full of weirdos, but that was a mediocre football team, and Kyle got very quiet very fast when they got in a hole, as usual. That place is a complete myth.
  5. Is there a 280-character version of this?
  6. Man, if only there had been some way to tell that Trump wouldn't honor his end of the deal when he bought your vote... Some sort of precedent, or some sort of national archive of things that have happened in the past...
  7. Weigman entering the portal. Should we grab him for 4th string, just for chortles? Nah. Let's don't. Poor aggy.
  8. Ah, yes. Get rid of income tax. The political wetdream of the monumentally stupid for about 200 years.
  9. Re: willing to pay more... No, they're not. Trumpkins are the people who keep the shelves at Walmart full of crap made in Chinese sweatshops. And they live in houses, trailers, and apartments built by Mexicans. And they're still broke. They might *prefer* to pay a little more for things made by white people (which is what the line above really means) but the fact is that they can't. They need non-white people to survive. And they're gonna realize that the hard way pretty soon. Everyone who voted for Trump will very quickly be in the same line as everyone who's ever done business with Trump, trying to get what they thought they'd agreed to, unsuccessfully.
  10. I feel like the application for a Trump cabinet position is two checkboxes: will you be loyal to me no matter what, and you have raped a woman, right? These people are gonna do unspeakable shit. More unspeakable shit. With impunity.
  11. I mean, the first expanded playoff featuring SMU, Boise State, and Indiana but not Alabama, Michigan, or Clemson is what everyone wanted, right??
  12. This is a dangerous road. If we go to 16, eventually somebody will want to make it 32, then aggy is making the playoffs about 1/3 of the time, which makes a farce of the whole thing. Snicker. Chortle. Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!
  13. Strongly disagree with all of this. The CCG's are for championships. Co-champs have always been stupid and unsatisfying to both sets of fans. Championships go on the wall, championship games are good for recruiting, and the games themselves are massively interesting to fans, including neutrals. And giving the byes to 4 conference champions keeps some of the drama of the regular season. 3-loss aggy was still alive for a playoff spot because they had a chance to upset Texas and then win the CCG. It keeps more teams alive longer, which makes more games late in the season matter, which is a good thing. Seeds 1-4 are artificially generated? By games on the field, as opposed to pollsters' ranking them 1-12 and bestowing byes based on the eye test? Yeah, this is just wrong.
  14. I'm already in a band called Subterranean Jewbas, but we'll allow it out of respect for Hasidic brass as a genre.
  15. See, this is why I come here. I learned something today. Also, there's aggy misery over on the football board. Buncha redneck hosers.
  16. God dammit, I worked hard on that.
  17. Did the Donovan in Waco joke make it to air? They cut it pretty quick...
  18. Fuck it, I'm gonna call again and just tell an aggy joke...
  19. That was me, lol. I'm pretty sure they've saved my number from previous calls, or maybe he remembers my voice, because they used to take the bait every time. Maybe I'll try a Cajun accent next...
  20. SEC Network just showed that the average price of a ticket to this game in the secondary market was $1,025... Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee..........
  21. Can't get thru, but I'm gonna keep trying...
