  1. Holy shit, this is the guy they waited three weeks for? How many people must have told Elko no?
  2. Also, does the dad even follow college football? This kid could fake commit *anywhere* right now, hell he could "commit" to the fucking Philadelphia Eagles, and they choose... aggy?
  3. I don't think the culture of the locker room can be overstated as well. There are plenty of talented kids who just need a strong environment to thrive. I have absolutely no doubt that Xavier Worthy is a malcontent if he starts his career at aggy, and I'm fairly certain Evan Stewart would have been a baller for us had he been in our locker room on day one. Your team culture can hold a player back or it can be just what they need to take the next step.
  4. We are the dumbest fucking country and deserve every bad thing that happens to us.
  5. Never fear, Brandon Harris is here to make a vague insinuation.
  6. It's a valid question and honestly very tough to answer. I can only speak for my opinion, but I would say that criticisms of the Israeli government, the seeming disregard for civilians, the general tone set forth by certain politicians both here and abroad, etc... that's all fair game. Fuck Bibi. But when folks start dipping their toes into talking about "Zionism" is when things tend to get a little messy. I'm by no means saying that any criticism of Zionism is antisemitic, but I would say that most of the obviously antisemitic people have REALLY strong opinions on the topic. And I'll acknowledge that there are bad actors claiming antisemitism in places where there is none. Fuck them, but please don't allow yourself to dismiss the notion of ANY antisemitism just because some jackasses are crying wolf. And unrelated to the previous response, but another thing complicating the matter is that the groups, especially the unaffiliated third parties in America, are not speaking the same language. We've talked about it ad nauseum regarding the "From the River to the Sea" chant, but here's a paragraph that sums it up pretty well: When your chant for peace is heard by many as a chant for destruction, how do we find a resolution?
  7. The threats to this lady absolutely suck, but I hope she realizes she has been gifted the opportunity to write an all-time column. "I had an outsider's opinion of Jose Altuve, but then I did my own research..." would instantly redeem her within the fanbase and, with her apparent ability to draw attention, could get some national play.
  8. I don't think every Pro-Palestinian is antisemitic. I think a metric fuckton of not-antisemitic Pro-Palestinians do not realize that they are serving as "useful idiots" to promote antisemitism.
  9. "Mr. McAdams" officially dropped as a single today. He also announced an album coming next month (likely songs from the show). Presale opened today.
  10. That's definitely the logical take, I'm just trying to figure out why they keep including his "I'm not done fighting yet!" comments over and over if there isn't some kind of payoff. Him and Katurah are equally non-factors in the strategy, but they want us to be more sympathetic towards Jake for some reason.
  11. Dee has played a great game, if she pulls it out then she'll be one of the strongest winners in a while. If it's not her, I've got a weird feeling Jake might Gabler this shit. Feel like I've caught little moments in the editing where they are hinting at a potential comeback.
  12. Yeah but the 18 year old kid who couldn’t get into aggy said that Smith wasn’t visiting. Checkmate, Gerry.
  13. So, assuming this is true, either every single collegiate coach in the country voluntarily passed on one of the top S&C coaches in the world for two years in a row for some reason OR he’s had multiple opportunities to get back and was just waiting for Mike fuckin Elko to come calling. … or maybe a long, impressive resume is not indicative of someone’s ability to lead a 2024 football team’s S&C program.
  14. I absolutely remember wanting him a decade ago. Color me skeptical that a 60 year old S&C coach is still elite.
  15. "Major hire" = unemployed for almost two years.
  16. Our entire extended family lives in Texas. I will consider myself a failure of a parent if my children stay here.
  17. Firing Jimbo early so that you have a better chance to win in 2024 and then ending up with a FAR worse roster in 2024 is the most aggy thing ever.
  18. I’m firmly in the “Texas will never turn blue” camp, but goddamnit the Republicans really wanna test the theory.
  19. To be fair, the current aggy DC was also in that pic with Robinson.
