  1. AggiesToday gonna be in shambles.
  2. 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?
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. "Mr. McAdams" officially dropped as a single today. He also announced an album coming next month (likely songs from the show). Presale opened today.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Undefeated. (again)
  9. lol IT is so boned without Gerry and Bobby.
  10. How cute, Elko has his own Toneil Carter.
  11. Yeah but the 18 year old kid who couldn’t get into aggy said that Smith wasn’t visiting. Checkmate, Gerry.
  12. 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.
  13. I absolutely remember wanting him a decade ago. Color me skeptical that a 60 year old S&C coach is still elite.
  14. "Major hire" = unemployed for almost two years.
  15. Our entire extended family lives in Texas. I will consider myself a failure of a parent if my children stay here.
  16. 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.
  17. I’m firmly in the “Texas will never turn blue” camp, but goddamnit the Republicans really wanna test the theory.
  18. To be fair, the current aggy DC was also in that pic with Robinson.
  19. The Yankees are about to land Shohei and have the best offseason in the history of professional sports. You should go ahead and bet your life savings on a Yankees title in 2024. It’s a lock.
  20. So, uh, Katurah's backstory was fucking nuts.
  21. I don't think it's fully sunk in how different things are gonna be in the transfer portal era. Before, a kid that grew up loving Texas but didn't get an offer would use that as fuel to prove that we missed out. Now, kids will use it as fuel to get an opportunity to transfer. Sucks for the feeder schools, but sure does feel great to be king.
  22. Hell is not hot enough for that man.
  23. Pretty sure a lot of aggies thought they were getting this guy, lol
  24. I can acknowledge that this was essentially a “gotcha” question asked by a ghoul of a human being not in good faith. I can also acknowledge that, under oath, it may be difficult to give an unequivocal response that satisfies both the politicians and the University rules. I can acknowledge that their answer does not necessarily make them antisemitic. But if it’s not antisemitism, then it’s incompetence. If they were not able to prepare for this exact question and develop an answer that does not basically sound like “lol who gives a fuck about the Jews” then they are not fit to hold their current office. They walked into a hearing that was begging for a Fox News headline, and were unprepared enough that they ended up giving an answer that I’ve seen ALL over the internet today - even from non-political folks. Inexcusable from individuals tasked with leading higher education in this country.
