  1. As it relates to Aggy players, obviously TBD who they hire but you know damn well some of their boosters are about to offer whatever it would take to keep some of their players from coming to Texas in a pure ego preservation move.
  2. The butthurt from around the 1:20:00 mark through next few minutes is worth the listen alone. These Aggy tears are just what the Dr. ordered to get us to football season. Just incredible.
  3. Made my first baseball specific Texas One Fund donation. Small price to pay for all the aggy tears. Hope a lot of others had the same idea.
  4. Game 7. Betting Odds are even. Should be fantastic.
  5. 1995 - last game of SWC. 15 year old me made a beautiful juke move past a corp douche and celebrated with the team midfield. It was back when they sat fans in folding chairs around the track/field so already plenty of fans on the field and I (and dozens of others) hopped out of the endzone. The early wave got through easily before A&M corp and students came down from the stands to block (and fight) any stragglers that were outnumbered by then trying to get through. But pretty elite sports memory for 15 year old me. No cell phones back then so my dad hung out in the endzone for like 45 mins after the game not knowing if I was arrested or beaten up or what until I finally made it back through the stands.
  6. I had to stop following "Nash" Texas fan account as well. He was having a breakdown about aggy winning a championship game 1. It was the aggiest shit I've ever seen. Sure, I would prefer TN wins all things considered, but if A&M wins, who gives a shit?
  7. Unbelievable Edmonton. Still bitter the Stars aren't there but the Edmonton fans in Dallas were great and what an amazing home atmosphere. Hope they can pull it off.
  8. Makes sense. We got something for him and Nill made sure to get him in a situation where he should get plenty of playing time with an opportunity to take a step forward. Probably viewed as a solid W by his friends in the locker room. I think it's pretty clear Nill has a reputation for doing right by players.
  9. Put me in the category of hoping new management takes over and somehow shakes things up and turns it around. I strongly prefer to fly out of Love but also pretty much done with SWA at this point due to all the things mentioned in this thread (completely inability to manage multi-day weather event until proven otherwise, ridiculous boarding and pre-boarding process and apparently now close calls on flights).
  10. Not surprised he was moved but thought he had more value than a 4th (which is next to nothing). He's a nightly bottom 6 player on a team without the Stars forward depth.
  11. Presumably that pretty much guarantees Borque's opening day spot and figuring out terms with Steel?
  12. Woah. Traded Dellandrea for a 4th rounder. Not much value in that trade at all. I'm guessing too much of a cap hit to extend given whatever else they are about to get done? Need to see some analysis on this or the corresponding move. Of all FO personnel in teams I follow, I trust Nill the most, but didn't expect that.
  13. I'm not surprised to see a step back. And it wouldn't have shocked me to not make the playoffs (in a close race). But I didn't see 10 games back in mid June. Even in years where I had zero expectations, my hope was just to get us to early to mid August within striking distance before we start paying attention to horns training camp, etc. for fall. This team better wake up or we'll dig too much of a hole to have a chance at even that within a few weeks. Hopefully getting guys back soon from injury provides a spark.
  14. I don't see it for the reasons pointed out in that Tiffin article a week or so back but guess we'll see.
  15. I can't imagine how hard that would be given what he means to his country and the weight he carries in that regard, but it would absolutely the be the right move for next season. Obviously we are biased.
  16. Way too much negativity on this thread for a team that massively overachieved. Winning a Championship is hard. Boston hung around the rim for what, damn near the last decade before finally putting the pieces together? Obviously disappointing outcome and particularly that we didn't play better but it's a learning experience that will make Luka better. They were clearly a superior team and deserving champ.
  17. Bad time for an awful shooting night across the board outside of Josh Green.
  18. That should do it. Great run. Boston just completely locked in tonight.
  19. Glad I didn't know anything about the books or that scene going in. Thought it was a great episode.
  20. I'm pretty positive confetti was dropped both home finals wins I attended in 2011, neither of which was a clincher. Who gives a shit.
  21. He hit a Mavs Finals record for made 3's. Stroke magically looked good. So, so ridiculous. Whatever, I'll hang on to a shred of hope he can somehow keep that going and the ultimate streak shooter isn't in fact done but has just finally shot himself out of it.
  22. I think we go as Kyrie goes game 5. I fully expect Luka to have a good game but Kyrie was rattled in Boston. If he can play well, it will quiet/frustrate the crowd and confidence will spread to everyone. And alternatively, if he plays poorly, lots of negative energy for everyone else to fight through. It's probably something to do with my 6th+ ranch water but I feel good about getting it back to Dallas.
  23. P.S. I can't recall if I read it in this thread or one of my text threads with season ticket holders but someone made the point recently that Lively fucks around with that corner 3 constantly in warmups. Really hope he can bring that to his game over the next couple of years. That draft pick just keeps getting better and better. He had a fantastic game tonight
