  1. Texas has more than several billionaire alums who refuse to help our NIL program. I don't think this is a factor for why they're fucked up, or at least not in the top 5. Maybe top 10. USC has fucking spent on NIL. There's been a ton of articles elsewhere about how fucked up USC is athletically and academically. Like hundreds and hundreds of million dollars in debt fucked up.
  2. This is nice. In the early conversations about NIL, accompanied by a man who stirs queso into salsa with his finger, we discussed the concept of fundraising enough money for Texas NIL that, at some point, would be large enough to pay the yearly NIL requirements for the team without touching, and in fact growing the principal. I'm not sure we understood how fast NIL would get this large, but it's a a nice pie in the sky idea. Of course, you're talking about probably a Billion dollars in the fund now to do that. If 100 million is left over from that guy, that's a nice start for Kansas.
  3. No shit, myself and most of my buddies from HS all received acceptance letters from Texas Tech...without applying. We just all got mailed documents congratulating us, they we were accepted, and information on how to continue enrollment.
  4. "I couldn't have indoctrinated my son any better. I can't imagine why he went to Alabama, it must have been these new Yell Leaders" says man with zero personal reflection. He also doesn't have any experience with cheering for a winner, so of course the 'Bama decision was baffling. The kid must get that from his mother.
  5. I'm guessing it didn't cost this much back in the day, but that's just a guess.
  6. I watched this game, and cheered for VY. I can absolutely tell you that I would have jumped into being a Texans fan wholeheartedly if they'd taken VY. The fact that they did not is 100% the reason that I don't give a fuck about the Texans and have eschewed the NFL. Outside of a small window in Austin for college, I've lived in Houston my entire life. They can all get fucked. I'll cheer for the Texans in the sense that I want good things to happen to Houston, but I've turned down plenty of free tickets to go watch them play on Sunday. No interest. I'll reconsider if it's a suite. That's it.
  7. C'mon man, you give it away when one picture has hills/mountains, trees, and rivers all in the shot.
  8. It doesn't look to me like Elko hates anything remotely edible. It looks like the only thing they did different was take those pictures at a different time of day.
  9. Didn't one of the other guys on the bus yell "he stuck the landing!" for the one that landed upright?
  10. Also appealing to RB these days is not being a sole featured back. The NFL views RB as the most replaceable position out there, and it typically has the shortest lifespan in the league. RBs have taken a longer view of working to preserve their bodies in college more than even just 5-8 years ago.
  11. Now we need to talk about YOUR childhood around the age of 10. Are you Wednesday Addams?
  12. To be fair, I said Snow White/Magic Kingdown party. For all we know it's Avengers or Star Wars and CloseToJaggering and his Disney nostalgia chose to buck the trend and go with Grumpy.
  13. If B Wizzle 2145 says it, well take it to the bank. Also it's a coin flop that that guy's actual name is Brad or Braydyn Wizzle and 2145 is his 401k balance.
  14. Yeah yeah, I'm sure that 10 year old looked at you with watery, pleading eyes and said "Pappa, Pappa, will you please wear a 'Grumpy' dwarf shirt for my Snow White themed Magic Kingdom Birthday Party? It's all I want in the WORLD" and your three-sizes too small heart just burst and you said "Of course son, I will grant your VERY specific wish for a Magic Kingdom themed birthday party group, and not because it was totally my idea in the first place."
  15. What did I fucking tell you shitwads? Disney Adult.
  16. We're not losing to fucking Florida in the swamp. Even if Lagway is healthy, which is a big IF, they're still coached by sun-belt Billy. I don't see Lagway handling our pass rush well. At all. And it's not like our secondary is fucking weak. He hangs his hat on the deep ball, and he's great at it, but if even if he delivers some he's going to be fucking punished for it.
  17. There's usually an empty suite next to ours. I'll just hang out there.
  18. Eh. I wholeheartedly support Mateer getting deep into it with a bookie and having to throw some games.
  19. So are we going to get a CloseToJaggering Bingo card going for the opening game(s) of the year? Or just wager on some yardage and scoring totals? We could do straight cash, homey, or make CTJ just names his next kid Parker Alan Jackson _____________.
  20. We need to use modern technology to get the quality of these videos upgraded to HD somehow. I probably settle down and watch VY highlights once or twice a year, and I'm always struck by how bad the quality is for most of the videos. As in, I swear it didn't look that dark and grainy watching it live back in 04 and 05. Or on my DVR of the Rose Bowl I kept around for years.
  21. Maybe. Were those people regular Texags posters?
  22. “It’s terrifying how little the experts actually know” says the guys who fought to take horse paste during covid. Terrifying indeed.
  23. But it's not. None of those people are going to come back and eat crow, or admit they were wrong, or apologize, or offer a mea culpa, or change their behavior. Because if you're even half right about what you say, and you're probably more than half right, they'll never give you the satisfaction, much less admit to their own bad takes/behavior. Do you think everyone is taking notes about the posters in your screenshots to remind themselves later "Oh fuck, that's one of the idiots Derka smoked about Quinn Ewers?" No. This isn't real life, this is the internet. As a result, all people read is you showing up, crying about how right you were and those meanies won't come back and eat crown and apologize, and bithcing about the horrible personal attacks you've suffered. But ok, that doesn't come across as "whining," right? Because you say so, I guess. And now they see me telling you to stop whining about it. You're whining about grown men being "held accountable" for their own actions when you consistently don't hold yourself accountable for your actions here right now. Park Gothic is right, there is no reasoning possible here. I'll see myself out. @troph Your long national nightmare is now over.
  24. Oh, I think you do. I think we all know why.
