  1. I wonder if these are the first actual encounter with the Pah-wraiths? A lot of parallels here, including how they're imprisoned. Food for thought, anyway.
  2. I agree, I didn't really come to realize it until I moved out of West Texas, though. The environment is harsh, it's difficult for me to adjust when I go back and visit friends/family.
  3. Aren't you the guy that came into the basketball board to make like 3 posts this past season and all of them where whining about Tech or Tech posters? Shut your bitch ass up little boy!
  4. A) Those are also valid reasons not to like him, but there are plenty of coaches that do the same for Texas. Probably a lot more than any other in the state, actually. Texas does a lot of negative recruiting, everyone does. There's a reason: it works. I don't really like it either, it just is what it is. Rodney Terry did a TON of nasty negative recruiting against us because he was very upset that his star player at UTEP didn't follow him to Texas. It's shitty, but it happens everywhere. No one is immune. B) When I say coping I'm just making a joke. It's just a silly thing I see on Twitter all the time, as if we found a pile of money in a chest of drawers somewhere and we're desperate to win something before it runs out. The sustainability is not a question, at all. Also can someone please shut slorch the fuck up? Jesus, he argues like a 13 year old and it's so cringe.
  5. I mean that's the goal, is it not? It's not like we're saying natty or bust. You gotta start somewhere. You're telling us to do that, we'll that's what we're trying to do. We're not taking a guy like Guyton so we can laugh in Poorgia's faces and high five each other. Moral victories are Aggy's department. We're doing it so we can try to build winning rosters moving forward. It either works or it doesn't, and anyone with a brain knows it will take time either way. Maybe you're right about Joey, I have no real investment in him at all, if he gets it done he gets it done. Great. If he doesn't, cya. Find someone else. You guys still being upset years later about some dumbass hyperbole he engaged in trying to hype his players up after a win is amusing to me, at least. Don't be so thin skinned. Like I said, the alternative is to just not try at all. Also, the notion that the money is going to run out is just cope. Tech's not losing money here. The athletic department isn't poor and being propped up by a single dude like Oklahoma State's was for so many years. As long as the will is there, so will the money. Tech has plenty of wealthy donors, not as many as Texas, but it's not as far off as you might think, either. Also, I don't think the comparison to Aggy's spending sprees are apt. Every single person that goes to A&M that isn't a creepy WASPy cult freak is a fish out of water there, and they aren't trying to build a culture. They have an established, all-encompassing culture that is never going to change and that most players will never feel like they're a part of. That's not really the case with Tech, even with Lubbock being out in the middle of nowhere.
  6. I mean that's the big question, right? I don't really think that it matters as much as people try to make it out, but the question is obviously is it going to turn out like Aggy or Fl State or will they actually be able to build a winning tradition. The alternative is just not to try at all, I guess, which is certainly what some of the traditional blue bloods that suddenly can't get every single player they want would prefer.
  7. Sure but winning traditions can be established, and some of the programs with great winning traditions are situated in really shitty towns/in the middle of nowhere. Unless you think Norman, OK is some kind of destination.
  8. Seems like the right place right time to me
  9. Why, do you think we're going to run out of money to pay them?
  10. Cinnamon in the chili doesn't bother me. In fact, a good pot of ol' Texas Red is made better with the addition of some good cinnamon flavored Mexican chocolate. The problem with Cincinnati chili is serving it over spaghetti with a pile of unmelted cheese on top. It's just plain worse than regular spaghetti and meat/tomato sauce.
  11. Tech has gobs of money as well, and it's not going to run out of money any time soon. Cody Campbell et all aren't dumb, they know the spending will have to continue ad infinitum, it's not about blowing a bunch of money on one single football season, they'll have to keep doing this year after year and the results fans want probably won't come as quickly as they want. And yeah, we're pretty much trying to follow Texas' model. It's a good model. The product on the field is proof of that, and it took some time for Texas as well. Either way it'll be a much more interesting ride than it was before.
  12. Every single one of the medicare spam calls I get are spoofed from my cell phone #'s area code, where I haven't lived in like 20 years. It's hilarious.
  13. Documentaries about topics that are inherently negative like murder are intended to make you feel a certain way and think critically about stuff. The example I always cite is Blackfish, which is specifically designed to make you (rightly) hate Sea World.
  14. Lmao he posts "Pallywood" shit and wonders why people call him racist. e: LMAO and a paid pick me shill too. What a rube.
  15. I don't think Brisket keeps it a secret that he used to be like that, many of us were. God forbid someone changes their viewpoints over time instead of just staying a runny pile of shit like you.
  16. Médecins Sans Frontières calls for immediate closure of US and Israelibacked aid group in Gaza – Middle East crisis live Not going to let the story of this genocide die as many of you seem to be willing to.
  17. Doctors without Borders is speaking out against the GHF now, more first-hand testimony of the IDF and private American contractors indiscriminately shooting at starving Palestinians in Gaza. More totally non-genocide stuff for people like @Hitch to eat up. Médecins Sans Frontières calls for immediate closure of US and Israelibacked aid group in Gaza – Middle East crisis live
  18. I've gotten at least 30 of these calls between today and last Friday, always during business hours, every single one was an AI voice, no discernable non-American accents.
  19. No you deserve to get dunked on, man. How many fucking times do I have to say that these OSINT Twitter accounts post nonstop bullshit and you dumbasses should stop PRONG HORN posting them every time there's breaking news? Like, just have the smallest amount of media literacy and restraint.
  20. Honestly, same, even though it might sound funny coming from me because of my posting in the Israel thread(s) but I hate having to make that comparison because it makes people's eyes roll into the backs of their heads. But sometimes the parallels are just so goddamn obvious you're just like...
  21. Didn't click the tweet but I assume it's just suckin dick
