  1. Researching my random statement now. We were 3rd in the transfer portal 2 years ago; 8th last year. 6th in recruiting 2 years ago; 43rd last year. I know all sorts of things change from year-to-year, but we're about to not even sniff the tourney with, what seems to be, some decent talent.
  2. You're being generous. This roster is FAR better than the results.
  3. Yep. I turned on the game, saw they were going to talk to or feature her over pregame stuff, and noped right out.
  4. Jinx! I saw signs of this right after Terry took over, but I zipped it because, A) most of y'all watch far more than I do and, B) we were still winning. Getting to the E8 was about the worst thing that could have happened to the program. I'm speaking long term; not bitching about making it that far.
  5. I did for about 30 seconds, then it cleared up.
  6. Not specific to Peacock, but it's getting really annoying to pay for an app, then have to watch several minutes of ads during the show. And, yes, I realize that I have to watch ads on regular TV for which I pay for (YouTubeTV), but it seems to be getting worse lately. I'm watching Lonesome Dove. The ads pop up at random times; not during natural breaks in the movie. A character will be right in the middle of a sentence and a 2-minute ad break will suddenly appear.
  7. Who wants to tell him that aggy is the only entity stupid enough to offer a "Jimbo" contract?
  8. At the game. We're playing like ass right now. And my Predator season ticket holder friends are with me.
  9. Got it. I hate when folks pick nits, so I try not to do so. They just about criss-crossed the state when heading north. In reading about McMuttry, paint me surprised that he also wrote Terms of Endearment. I had no idea. Also, funny side note that you probably already know since you read the book. The original town of Lonesome Dove was actually located in modern Southlake. Weird.
  10. Lulz. I saw this quote the other day on here. Didn't recall it. Randomly decided to watch Lonesome Dove for the first time since, oh, 1997. There it is. Love this series, but the geography is driving me crazy. I'm guessing the series had to speed up the book - hence Gus seemingly ending up in the panhandle (Llano Estacado) just after Lane's character gets taken outside of San Antonio.
  11. @magicsoccerspray had this on his list, but it deserves more cred.
  12. aggy will pay this dude 20 million just to put the commitment on the stadium wall.
  13. Agree, but now 2 losses could get you into the playoffs. I guess getting there is like the new "Big 4NYD" bowl goal from the past.
  14. I'm sorry, but this is effing ridiculous. New, student friendly arena, all the NIL in the world, and we can't beat Tech at home.
  15. We're not great but these officials... F sakes.
  16. I got so drunk w/ @Jameslaw121 I don't even recall him leaving sometime during the game. I threw a 10 second bitch fit after the last play. The thing that stings, at least to me, is that I was pretty confident about a potential Michigan matchup. I have no special skills or insight as to why, I just felt very confident in that potential matchup. After they won, I mentally switched from, "OK. You're preseason expectations have been met" to "Fuck it, let's win the whole thing". I did enjoy being relevant again and hearing the pundits discuss Texas for 6 weeks - especially during the aggy game.
  17. These are awesome. I just started realizing that I also do some of the same things made fun of here and in the Progressive ads. A couple of weeks ago, I put $20 in some random machine in Vegas, but it was broken, so I cashed out. When I approached the window, I said, "I hope you have enough in the drawer to cash this big boy out." A couple of tellers turned their heads to check out my "winnings" and came away unimpressed. I walked away thinking, "Crap. I'm what they're laughing at in the Progressive ads".
  18. Correct. I did 6 trainings. In addition to what I've already mentioned, I also had to deal with one teacher that swore my picture of a lengua taco wasn't lengua because it wasn't barbacoa. I responded by stating that I just did a search for "lengua tacos" and did not check my source once the pic was found. That actually cracked up the rest of the group. I had another that went to one of the AI sites that I mentioned, but couldn't get it to work. Granted 30 other teachers were on the exact same site w/o an issue, so it had to be something with her laptop. I'm not saying this was the issue, but she had a bunch of silly stuff added to her laptop - oversized cursor that was about 3 inches in length, butterflies popping up when you press a button, etc... It's not that I don't want to help. It's just... Look around you. If 30 computers are working and your computer is not working, it's probably something with your computer. The way she spoke, it was if I sent her to a sketchy Surly link from "I'd pee in her butt".
  19. Yesterday I was presenting to a class full of teachers. As far as the teaching profession goes, it's quite common to leave candy out at the table or desks. So, I put three bags of candy on the sign-in table. Just as I'm about to speak, this random woman comes up holding the bag of Almond Joys. Me: Is everything ok? Her: I'm allergic to almonds. Me - knowing full well I can't go Surly on this chick: Oh, ok. I'll just put the bag over here. I mean, seriously? If it means that much to you, don't touch the fucking candy. Or, better yet, don't pick up the fucking bag and bring it to me. I'm honestly not sure what moving the bag about 5 feet did for this chick. My son also has a tree nut allergy, so this isn't a rant against folks with allergies.
  20. Guess we don't need a new thread for the UA Game. F's sake, ESPN needs to get its shit together. Graphic had Cam Coleman as an aggy signee. Umo looks good this far.
