    Living with and amongst them, I can tell you that the battered wife Nole fans are a minority. The ones who opine for the days of Jimbo and say "if we had just given him this or didn't have a messed up booster setup, he would have stayed". Most of those people aren't insiders or even boosters. The ones who actually are boosters and know what the hell that clown did don't miss him at all.

    The narrative that Aggy likes to repeat about FSU being strapped for cash or saying no to Jimbo's every desire is a false narrative. They gave that guy everything he asked for. Jimbo threw a tantrum for a football-only facility and threw a deadline on the table to the higher ups, one which was extremely difficult to meet both from a cash and construction timeline perspective. Of course, Aggy repeats the one-sided fables from Jimbo and his flock. 

    The narrative that they wouldn't let him fire Charles Kelly is partially true. After all, Jimbo threw a tantrum the year before to get the guy a raise. I think that speaks more to Jimbo's shitty program management and management of his coaching staff. He had a staff that was Top 10 in total comp. The moron just didn't distribute it accordingly and held on to coaches that weren't cutting it.

    My father-in-law gives a boatload to that school and I've heard all the Jimbo tales from his circle of friends. That asshole torched that place on the way out. He's a petty, spiteful little redneck.

    The thought of him doing that at aggy leaves me gruntled!

    Huh. I taught for a couple years and never heard of anything like that happening (being fired I mean). The one thing I ever was told on that was- probably not a good idea to start reading a note outloud b/c who knows what's in it, but I suppose such things could happen. It seems like a bad idea to confuse words read with the viewpoint of the reader, and I imagine it was probably a more common practice than it is now.  

    Some of the stuff that my 10th grade girls would write and hand in was pretty damn eye opening- and that was 13 years ago.  Can't imagine what it looks like now.  The girls stuff was always worse than the guys btw, as far as inappropriateness goes. I'm not talking about intercepting notes, I really didn't give a damn whether a kid wanted to pay attention or not as long as they weren't distracting others from doing so, I'm talking about stuff that got turned in, for a grade, on free writing prompts/ what you did over the weekend/ tell a story of what you are planning this weekend- shit like that. 

    My funniest moment was the class slut telling her friend about having hooking up with some dude she knew.

    Girl 1- What did you do?

    Girl 2- we hooked up.

    Girl 1- where?

    Girl 2- in the butt.

    if that was in written form reading such a note in front of class would be bad form and for dumb dumbs.  But that's not malevolent or anything. 

    Rules.

    To be fair to Hudson, every Longhorn on the roster shit their pants against Arkansas… He was thrown to the wolves and got absolutely zero help from his OL, WR or the run game.

    Don't know if this has been posted but they are such a weird bunch of mouth breathers.

    Chris Lee said he has been doing his “bourbon voodoo hex” at Texas A&M baseball games since he was a student in the 1990s. He’s continued to try and mess with opposing pitchers by waving his hand over his fist, sitting behind home plate since Blue Bell Park was renovated in 2012.

    The hand gesture was finally noticed by others during Friday night’s College Station Super Regional game between A&M and Louisville. ESPN showed a close up of Lee during the game and a clip went viral on social media. At Saturday’s game between the Aggies and Cardinals, other fans at Blue Bell Park joined in.

    In the seventh inning, Lee looked on at Louisville reliever Ryan Hawks and did the motion before Dylan Rock’s go-ahead sacrifice fly in A&M’s 4-3 win over the Cardinals that put the Aggies back in the College World Series for the first time since 2017.

    “Somehow or another, it’s caught on,” Lee said. “I really, I don’t know what to say. If it helps me or them or whatever, then great. It’s just me being passionate about Aggie baseball. I just happened to be on TV. When I was a student, I used to do it up in [section] 203. Now I’m a knucklehead with a rank and now I’m on TV.”

     

    Might bother him if they were doing…
