  1. Yeah, its been a hot minute but some things came back to my old, questionable memory.
  2. Yeah, this is probably an entire non-CR thread and/or a CR thread. Setting aside for one moment ethics, the scientific research on accuracy/validitiy of data obtained from torture is one aspect. The other is, of course, the ethical aspects.
  3. Many here know I dont drink anymore and a goodly number know why... So... I'm going to go ahead and claim I've never been in a bar fight to try and make it sound like I was once kinda cool.
  4. There are some clear indications on the billboard itself. It doesn't say Texas A&M anywhere on the sign. Aggie nation and Whoop are the only things that clearly align it to aggie, but are broad enough that it wouldn't be an infringement of IP I'm guessing. (Surly lawyers?) So, it whoever did it appears to be avoiding getting hammered by the infringement of aggie IP. They also didn't use SEC logo, just letters SEC. So, my guess is someone aligned to, but not directly part of aggie. Feels very much like something Texags might do.
  5. Some people might be put off intially by the length of that interview, but its really compelling, funny and extremely incitefull. Absolutely worth the time, and it goes fast. Thanks for sharing!
  6. I've recently fallen into a YouTube rabbit hole on the fucked up world of influencers. Confession, I've never had a ticktock, Twitter/x or Snapchat account and dont follow much celebrity shit so I'm way behind. But yeah... not only was it clear he was juiced to the gills, other fitness influencers were even pointing it out. Some of them even were freaked when they found out his rotations as it greatly surpassed world champion level body builder numbers. It was a fuck ton of PEDs.
  7. I feel you in the Garth Brooks one. I think primarily it just went long. However, in retrospect while Garth Brooks was the specific subject, I think they were taking a broader swipe at massive celebrity and the detachment they suffer. Katie Perry and Rachel Zegler are other recent examples of celebrities surrounded by yes men that truly lost touch with the real world and created their own world and drama. (No CR, but its not limited to Hollywood/music)
  8. If it hadn't been for all the bribes the secsecsec would have stuck to their gentleman's agreement hand shake and left Texas out in the cold. No other reason the SEC would have let Texas in.
  9. I know its likely the noble, elite and morally upstanding citizens of Surly will largely find it horrific and unwatchable. However, for we few immoral, grotesque and soulless hiding within, it's brutally hilarious, self deprecating, disgustingly funny and in some instances super cringe hilarious.
  10. You are categorically incorrect albeit amusing and factual. You made major multiple errors here in this logical walk through of aggie cult hive mind. First, you actually presume any form of logic or reasoning can be applied to the aggie cult mythology. Second, you make the error that aggie would view their "brothers" in the SEC as cheaters. They have, for far too long, simp worshiped the major teams in the SEC while at the same time delusionally believed they were "building rivalries" and becoming loved among the other institutions. Anyone outside aggie knows that is pure delusion, but they view it as facts. No sir, there is only one cheater and it is tu who paid the SEC off to join them and bag manned the powers that be to align the liberal gays in Austin with cake walk schedules. Third you fail to recognize aggie logic and myth that tu was largely responsible for NIL coming into being. Sure tu had co-conspiritors like Ohio State, Oregon and other illuminati cheaters that are pay to win institutions, but to be sure, tu lead that charge. Why did Texas lead that charge? Because prior they had lost all power and influence because tu can't win the normal way like aggie, the King Alabama, Amazing Georgia, impressive "rival" LSU and the rest of the nobility in the SEC. However, most importantly, to reassert dominance in the state of Texas, where tu had become a nothing burger, they needed access to play THE College sports program in the state of Texas which is, of course, aggie. So, tu created and assured NIL, bribed their way into the SEC SEC SEC, then paid for weak schedules all to swindle their way back to being the major power in college sports in Texas. This mythology and cult propaganda is brought to you by the hive mind, fake military, farm school college. You're welcome.
  11. Exactly man.. her eyes are just so gross I wouldn't even be able to get it up..
  12. I was just defending your honor, man. I'm not going to allow some schlub on the internet with no receipts claim to be the broken woman fixer.
  13. Well, did Bryon White storm the beaches of Normandy without any help? Didn't think so!!!
  14. Well, there is plenty of reason to shit on the garbage that is the NCAA. I do agree somewhat with a take from Joel Klatt that there needs to be a specific body managing just college football. However, it damn sure doesn't need the likes of Nick Saban having any influence at all. There is another underlying aspect of players having control that gruntles people like Nick and his ilk. I hate to go here, but Ill say its less about "good old loyal OL" type players and more of what aggies would refer to as "mercenary" skill players. I'm not saying it's the primary concern as the preservation of the "old school bag society" is absolutely the primary interest, but I'm sure the other aspect is probably spoken in hushed tones behind the scenes.
  15. It also seems pretty evident the head coach didn't support this decision. Cleveland, we're not Detroit!
  16. 1) Cleveland QB historicals beg to differ with your hypothesis 2) The reason he was taken as late as he was as second QB by Cleveland speaks to the value bet they placed. See #1 for excellent history in that regard. 3) He and his father along with some help from the mediots did all the digging of that grave. 4) He made the bed, but you're of course welcome to lie in it with him. Edit - 5) Amusingly, I had a similar conversation with less media flair about Johnny 8Ball with my BIL the Thanksgiving after he was drafted. He really only follows the NFL and thought it would work out great. We haven't spoken about it since.
  17. Hmmm.. okay. I will say they were all a lot less delusional and shit tossing than Nebraska, aggie, CU and Misery. I do find it amusing that Misery has found the most "success" in football since the "escape from Texas power".
  18. Ahhh.. so its more who wants to join the Pac than who the Pac wants to join. I'm on page now.
  19. Ehhhh... I know a few KSU and okie State fans and obviously there is one ISU poster here... I might agree they have delusional dreams, but unlike aggie and sand aggies I'm of the opinion that they largely accept their reality and know a lot of balls have to bounce their way to even make the CFP.
  20. Why do you feel Texas State is a better choice than UTSA or UNT for access to Texas. There maybe good reasons and I'll openly admit my ignorance if they exist. Purely logistically speaking San Antonio and Denton seem better for hosting visiting fans. Granted, Austin will be the location for hotels should fans travel. Importantly, both are aligned to bigger cities, DFW and SA. UTSA also has "University of Texas" in their name which brings a certain perceived value sports wise, justified or not.
  21. Does help clarify why ND signed a 12 year deal with Clemson, particularly given they already had 6 games on the schedule during that time frame. I think there is some aspects to ACC and perhaps at some point ND being forced to join a conference but that's all speculation. I do think losing USC played a part as, deserved or not(usually not), USC is usually ranked and considered a rival which helps both teams SOS. I just don't see the upside of dropping this game for either team and its not good for college football imo.
  22. Hahah, did you not notice in the last page Sam was discussed and that Vince, Colt, Major and Simms have been steady components of this thread. This is primarily a University of Texas forum and this is the Texas Football sub. Quinn is going to continue to be compared to how other Texas QBs performed in the NFL, how he performed compared to Manning and other aspects of former Texas QBs. If you want discussion content that is purely Quinn's performance while in the NFL at Miami with no historical Texas QB references, you might want to TRY Here
  23. Quinn may have had some help in those efforts. Quinn might also have greatly contributed to ending the run to a championship both those years.
