  1. I took my son the other night to the Breaking Benjamin concert in SA this past week. He’d been a “fan” of BB since his pre-teen years and had seen them in SA and Austin over the years.  
     

    The early bands were Wage War and Lakeview.  The last band was Staind and I could actually hear the main singer, but we left after about 5 of their songs. Tough for a 50+ years old guy to sit through, but I made it with slight tinnitus the next 24 hours.  I don’t think I can do that kind of concert again, but it went well and we were out by 10:00 on a work night for me.

    You are absolutely correct. However I don't associate with aggy in my normal life so I have to take what I can get. 

    Internet aggy is the best aggy.  You don’t want to have to converse with aggy on an in-person basis, as it’s just eye rolling and mind baffling.

    Gotta find a friend that was a 2%er so you can get the agtag. It makes it even better 

    Kind of like getting that “Ag tag” is the only people wearing class rings at work are aggy.  My boss graduated from the USNA and he doesn’t wear their class ring and he was a Naval Aviator.
     

    When I was active duty in the Army, those officers that graduated from the USMA always wore their class ring and were referred as “ring knockers.” But only aggy keeps up the “ring” as a pass to the future.

  4. Honorary degrees?, as that’s the 20+ year plan.  Did they actually put a button in a seat for a class for this special recognition and degree plan?  Some of those, it’d been 20+ years since being on campus originally.

  5. It all boils down to the “lesser” SEC conference members being willing to give up their November “cupcake” home victory built in annually.  One less potential home game $$$ generation (even against FCS), versus a potential road loss to a conference foe.  
     

    For those mediocre programs, looking for that 6-7th win for bowl eligibility, those are the ones that have to “agree” to vote for that 9th conference game.  Fans, public eyes, and voters be damned!  Their system of November “cupcake” had built in for more than a decade, as everyone in the SEC “should” win that weekend, while 50% of the nation loses that weekend.  For rankings purposes/team rest alone in November.

  6. Can we end the Quinn thread, as each of the last three seasons had a Quinn injury that sidelined him. Prior to each injury/season Quinn was amazing and bright lights ahead! 22 - Bama and etc, down to the ‘24 “self injury” (non contact). Who knows what he’d have done over his time on the 40?

    He did realize about 18-24 months ago that his physique needed to change for the better, with competition right behind him, and he did. So close the last two years and he helped bring our program above where it’d been the previous decade+. I will always appreciate what he did for Texas.

  7. I hope some of our younger fan base got a dose of the jackassery on display from their fanbase the last three days.  I’m sure there are clips on social media to give them enough of what many of us who had the nerves to sit through the three games saw on TV.   I hope we get another shot at them later this month or in June, but if not I hope our fanbase comes out on fire in November when they come down to DKR.
    Those who never saw us in the SWC days can’t appreciate how heated the rivalry was back then.  I’d say it was more heated as far as hate than our rivalry with aggy at least in 60’s and 70’s.   In the  80’s it might have cooled off because we both kind of sucked at different times in that decade then they were off to the SEC where they became irrelevant in football.    

    ‘60s is where Fayettnam came from. Many Horns fans came out to damaged cars after games, even if it was in Little Rock (can’t remember if they played one there). Texas tags without Pig stickers meant bad business crossing the state line, even though half their roster was from Texas, hence the Pig paraphernalia required!

  8. Nothing like pinning medals to your trousers. Stolen/make up valor in N Korea is a thing? What have they celebrated in the last 60+ years, or since their enlistment?

  9. All of the previous “walk ons” throughout CFB history are like WTF? They actually had a purpose. Not all were “Rudy,” but most were scout team players Mon-Thur against the Varsity, whether in t-shirts or full pads.

     

    My Dad’s only existence as a UT football player was basically in practice over his four years playing there. Someone will have to take their place on the 105.

  10. Coach Fran got the former OSU QB to come in and make 2024 “respectable.” How 2025 will go, with J Cook, is an unknown for everyone?

    Fran Brown was on the Pat McAfee Show during mid-season last year talking about not showering post-victory for their trip home? Something about relishing the victory?
