  1. Well. I think I am now going to this game. Anyone selling a single ticket? If you are going, where are you sitting? I will likely end up buying a solo ticket but trying to do my best to avoid an asskicking. Where is the allotted section for longhorn visitors? Thank you.
  2. This was my experience as well. I was with 8 other guys and I was one of the smallest of the group, and I am not small. We basically ignored everyone and stayed together as much as we could. We had mixed seats and I was not in the Texas section. We had no threats at the game but a ton of shit talking. The worst was getting back to town from the game. Even the cops were constantly warning us to try to get back to the hotel as quickly as possible. The problem was that proved to be very difficult and we walked forever. I saw a lot of fights but almost all them were between Buckeye fans fighting each other. I did meet Kirk Herbstreit briefly after the game and he was cordial and friendly, whatever you think of him as a sports personality. I regret I am not going this year but most of my travel crew is dead or disbursed. This is not a game I would take the wife/girlfriend or kids to. Having the game at 11:00 should make a huge difference. I am jealous of those who will make the game but I am not jealous of having to deal with Columbus, at least as it was back then.
  3. I don't blame the cop for pulling him over or even arresting him for the suspicion of driving while impaired. But to put the statements in the paperwork that have nothing to do with arrest but are derogatory to young men who have nothing to do with the arrest and fine entertainment establishments is just bush league.
  4. I think another reason involves location, school culture, exposure and history. This is what the true blue bloods have that the aggies lack. If aTm and Texas are offering the same in NIL, how much more would they have to pay for you to go to College Station when you have other options? Most of their problems have nothing to do with money, it has to do with other factors that are attractive to young athletes. Location, prestige, other NIL opportunities, exposure, reputation, winning tradition, and pride. Some people are smart enough to realize that the biggest bag isn't necessarily the best opportunity. Yes, there are players who will chase the biggest bag, but look at how most of those individuals end up. See the 2022 aTm class. I think some of the boosters are realizing, all things being equal, they just can't win. There was a time when they thought they could throw money at a problem, especially when they had SEC/Jimbo/Johnny Football momentum (and some of the internet fans still think they can), but the fact that they didn't make a leap when they were alone in the SEC, dropping bags, Jimbo, 2022 Class, etc. coupled with our recent success and their lack of it has to have some of their donor base facing reality. If my son was a 5* athlete the price for him to go to aTm over Texas, Alabama, Fla, Ohio St., Ga., ND, Mich, USC, LSU (just to name a few) would be exponentially higher because of the location, culture and history of the program. That is their real problem and not one anyone on TexAgs will ever see as a factor. "Big bad Texas is outspending us." Their only problem with NIL is that other programs have it too not that they don't have the support for it. Their problems are not fixable because they are their tradition.
  5. Going to visit Austin this weekend for my daughter's birthday. Son (aggie) wants to go see his team get their asses kicked. If anyone is selling I am interested in two tickets to Sunday's matchup. Thank you.
  6. Their SoS is higher because they have to play us. Our SoS is lower because we play them. That is it in a nutshell. Common Opponents: Fla. - aggies away. - Texas at home. Ark. - aggies neutral site - Texas away. Miss St. - aggies away - Texas at home aggies: Texas: LSU - at home Georgia - at home Mizzou - at home Kentucky - at home South Carolina - away Oklahoma - neutral site Auburn - away Vanderbilt - away We play them at home while we are on the road, but our schedule is a piece of cake because we are playing a weak aggie football program and they have to play the powerhouse University of Texas. Nevermind, they are getting us at home and we play away. Their biggest argument for us having an SEC cupcake schedule is that they suck and are dragging our SoS to the dirt and theirs is tougher because they have to play the juggernaut that is The University of Texas.
  7. We have to stop the run.
  8. Ewers has to throw the fucking ball
  9. damn nice snag
  10. I suspect they would be shocked at the amount of rural land, cattle, horses, hats, and spurs owned by Texas grads vs. aTm grads. We just don't have shirtless overalls.
  11. You know what all of these schools have in common? They all had a game against the #1 ranked defense in the nation.
  12. My current cap is undefeated. I feel where you're coming from.
  13. Gator defense is trash.
  14. HIPAA Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Not trying to police, but see these daily, and even have to correct myself on occasion from typing it incorrectly.
