  1. I get it and like this piece and TFG. I personally embrace the hate. Bring it. It's good to be king. That said, these guys weren't around for or have forgotten the level of hype around USC, Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart.
  2. Salad wars, begun they have!
  3. Yeah, you would never lower yourself to a taco, wedge, Cobb or potato salad. Fucking liar!
  4. Now we are at a different level of knowledge when you broach Brazilian steak houses. The early rounds of meat, eagerly jumped upon by some, absolutely screams, fucking noobs.
  5. Your lack of gastro intake capacity and will is disheartening. I understand Elko teaches a class on The Art of Consumption, perhaps you should look into it.
  6. Whoa! I was simply challenging the notion The Elk doesn't partake of salad. In no way was I disparaging the deliciousness that is a good wedge salad.
  7. It definitely feels like they are setting up the character for an extremely pivotal roll. Don't know the books but it seems clear to me he's likely to be a hero of sorts or at least importantly aligned with one.
  8. Well, perhaps my brain skipped over them thinking them sarcasm or just ignored them for being dumb. I'm just going to have to take your word for it as I've zero interest in reviewing threads looking for stupidity. Plenty to be found without digging for them through archives.
  9. That's not how I saw it then or now. My view was that Sark understood that his reputation as the QB whisperer would be tarnished. He also knew his commitment to his own words, "Ewers is our starting QB" prior to the season contributed further. In essence, Sark dug his own hole, his ego and fear of negative media coverage, possible negative influence on recruiting (maybe even in the 2025 cycle) and his own reputation as the QB Whisperer might be permanently tarnished if he made the switch. Further, as we discussed/suspect and evidence supports with the NFL camp, it was Ewers mental and technical aspects. Again, the QB Whisperer ego lead Sark astray in the "I can fix him" way. To help quell the demand, Sark played Arch LESS and in fewer ways as the season progressed. For a lot of reasons, but namely ego and fear, Sark couldn't bench Ewers. And yes, the moment we can't question a player or our a coach is when I'll start looking for "letters" in my "inbox" and offers to meet immamac in the parking lot for a fist to cuffs. All that said, its the past. My thoughts are pure fucking speculation. I don't and almost certainly won't ever know the full truth and frankly, at this point, it don't make a shit. I don't really care. It's in my data bank. I see similar shit in the future I'll fucking mark it. For now, I care more about 2025, being ranked #1, playing OSU and this bad ass run we're about to make.
  10. I don't need you to go full um.. Ewers thread on receipts.. but I guess I'm missing all these Surly posters that think aggie is gonna break the fucking 8-5 ceiling this year. I'm sure there are one or two regards here that think it and of course the mediots have bought in for unfathomable reasons once again. Just not seeing many posters here that buy the cult propaganda like the media.
  11. Personally, an hour long cliff notes episide of season 2 and jumping into Season 3 would have made me happier.
  12. The word you are looking for is cult. 10 warning signs of a Cult Why People Join Cults: To those on the outside, it can be difficult to understand why anyone would join a cult. They Don't Know They're Joining a Cult - Most individuals don’t recognize the group they’re joining is considered a cult. They Have Unresolved Insecurities Another study found that many cult members experience attachment insecurity prior to joining a cult. Their insecurities may drive them toward a group that promises acceptance. Once they join a group, they’re usually distanced from outside influences. After people are separated from the outside world, leaving the group becomes difficult. They often grow dependent on being in the group and develop suspicions of anyone outside the group. This is why some people suspect that cult members are “brainwashed.” And there is some science behind this idea, as members are often told they’re being persecuted by people outside the group. They Are Manipulated Into Joining The other major theory about why individuals remain in cults is mostly sociological. Cult leaders often promise to reward members in some way. They may tell them they’re going to move up the ranks within the cult or they may convince them that something really good is going to happen to their special group. Does all that sound familiar? Yes, those on the outside can't understand. It's weird because it's a fucking CULT!
  13. I liked Hill shit talking Wisner some "Don't hold me!".
  14. Interesting, I am having the exact opposite experience. I found the Gaal/Salvor story repetitive and slow without what I felt was real and deep exploration of their relationship/feelings. Instead a thin skinned drama, "cause she gonna die" is what we got. That's what I thought should have been the primary relationship focus but the tired Gaal/Hari drama repeat crossed with a very predictable cult cult cult plot made season 2 very slow for me. Season 3 is moving much quicker with much more interesting plots and bigger changes. Love the pace of this season and the various relationships are so much more enjoyable. Well, the autistic musical clown is annoying but..
  15. I don't neg on this sports board or for sports takes, even horrible ones but the way his question was positioned, got real damn close.
  16. There was a shocking amount of suppression and deflection in that message. Holy shit! I think his son went to Bama to get as far as he could from the "ghey hate" his father clearly suffers while still attending a school in an "approved climate/state". Or... maybe his son just wanted to pull for an actual winner.
  17. It is absolutely aggie to hedge all bets regarding Texas. Michigan was going to crush us/is so weak now was the chant last year. Of course, given zero originality or unique thought an easy rinse repeat is on the table for another top 10 matchup where Texas is involved.
  18. That's pretty disappointing coming from Klatt. I would expect that from Stephen A Smith or Skip Bayless but like you said, Klatt is better than this take.
  19. Bumping this as the new trailer is out. I like this series for silly fun. New/final season takes on AI.
  20. Amusingly, by that point I was near a decade past the moment I knew the Cowboys long-term fate. The clock started the day Switzer was hired. At that point, having grown up a Dallas fan I was on the path to eschewing the NFL all together. Had FYJF actually leaned into VY or Houston drafted him and done the same, I might well be a Houston or Nashville supporter today.
  21. Agreed, but I questioned then, as I continue to still, the degree those injuries were the cause of Ewers' issues vs mental and technical ones.
  22. Taco salad would of course be Elk's entrée to his Wedge Xtra bacon Xtra dressing in his "Keto" diet phase.
  23. I posted long ago that I didn't agree with Sark's choice, but understood it post Georgia 1. He's the QB whisperer. If he didn’t stick with his word of Ewers is our starter he would have gone back on that word and his commitment. Not to mention failing as the QB whisperer. @SL Xpress described it in far more detail but..
  24. I bet The Elk would murder a wedge with extra bacon and dressing.
  25. I just added the Cowboys, Raiders, and JaMarcus. If that ain't enough toxicity for you, seek help.
