  1. Apparently, he's not good at the glad handing part of the job. Big complaint I would hear from the UNT faithful is that he really didn't seem interested in being around the fans. He would do his radio show at the local Rudy's and as soon as his segment was done, he was gone without shaking any of the hands of the folks who were in attendance. He's a good coach, but nowadays you have to be more than that. You have to be CEO of the operation, and part of that operation, especially at the P4 level, is being a promoter of the program. From what the UNT folks tell me, he doesn't seem to have much desire to do that part.
  2. ASU lost at the very beginning of the season, on the road, due to one play at the end of the game where the DB and Safety both missed their assignments. One blown play at the end of the game. They had the victory and just lost it on one play. Stop with the transitive property BS, especially games played in week 1 and 2 when these transfers are still trying to gel. Tech lost to ASU who was blown out on the road a week earlier by Utah who Tech blew out of their own stadium. Transitive property is meaningless, especially in games played in week 1 on the road. In 2008 Tech nearly got beat by Nevada (@ Nevada) and looked pretty meh in another non-conference game. Later that season they beat two Top 10 teams in consecutive weeks. Using the ASU week 1 loss on the road to Miss St. as a reason to say Tech is not very good is either being dishonest or ignorant or both.
  3. I realize I'm a third party to this conversation, but as a Red Raider and a normal human being, I get especially annoyed with the following Aggy-isms: 1. TU. Fuck that stupid shit. No where anywhere is UT called "Texas University". It's the University of Texas (at Austin). TU is fucking stupid and juvenile and screams little dick syndrome. I will actually dress down any fellow Red Raider who uses that term, because it is retarded to do so and we don't need to act like fucking dumbass aggies. 2. Ran out of time. No, you imbeciles, you lost. As in, you scored less points than the other team when the game ended. You fucking lost. You are lucky you "ran out of time" when playing OU to a competitive 0-77. There was no amount of time ever that would have allowed you to come back and win that game, or 2003 vs. Tech when we beat your ass 59-28 and you still had the gall after the game to say you ran out of time. Take the L. 3. T-sips. I have to admit my Red Raider dad also used that term when he was alive. Another stupid aggy-ism that is supposed to be insulting but I don't get it. When I asked my aggy relatives about it, they would mock UT fans "drinking tea with a pinky in the air". These are the same people who love to say "Look, you have TeeTee on your shirt....you have TeeTee on your cap....your ring has TeeTee on it....hahahahahaha. I'm like, seriously, are you five? You are grown adults laughing your asses off at teetee and peepee jokes? Sorry for the rant and intruding on your thread of hate, but the above three things are my some of my biggest pet peeves with the society of Agroid.
  4. He has served his time in Purgatory. /notRomanCatholic
  5. The girlfriend side catfight was nice. Pulling hair...the whole bit. Society's lowest common denominators on full display in that video.
  6. That’s bullshit. There may be some recency bias due to aTm being off the schedule longer than UT, but otherwise no, the hate is strong against atm.
  7. Holy cow! I didn’t realize the MS Paint aggy was modeled after a real person.
  8. If they hadn’t shit the bed against Wake Forest, would they already be in the CCG?
  9. My name is Uncle Nate, and I support this message.* *Except for the part where you said they are Texas Tech. Fuck that shit.
  10. But they smoked UNT in the Physics Bowl earlier today, and that’s all they care about.
  11. Wow. I thought UT was supposed to have superior academics. That was…regarded.
  12. Dude, don't be disrespecting Sheriff Buford T. Justice of Texas by comparing him to this aggy alumn Trooper. Yes, Sheriff Justice had his faults, but I don't think even Justice would have acted like that.
  13. Is that the Barney Fife trooper or is that a young, dorked-out Lucci?
  14. Yeah, but it's kind of an incestuous metric, is it not? You have to rank teams first in order to establish a SOS. When you use SOS to rank those same teams, you're essentially ranking teams in order to rank teams - it's circular. There's also a lot of selective transitive property being applied...they apply when it helps their argument, and they dismiss it when it doesn't.
  15. Until now. I promise you it's no longer remotely comparable to what Tech just opened this past year.
  16. Them receipts sure are awfully inconvenient.
  17. I have two goals for the remainder of the 2025 season: 1. Win the Big 12 2. Beat aTm in a playoff game*. *And should this happen, I guarantee you aggy excuse will be they had a tougher season playing in the sec sec sec and thus they were more beat up than Tech in the playoffs. I guarantee you some agroids will say that very thing should we beat them in a playoff game.
  18. I love how people who know that you can't use transitive property in college football will turn around and use the transitive property to justify a position on SOS. "Tech lost to ASU who lost to Mississippi State, thus, Tech is overrated and played a weak schedule." Now, in regards to the OOC, I will not even try to defend Tech's schedule. It is what it is, and it ain't much. But Tech did beat, convincingly, the #11, #12, and #23 currently ranked CFP teams, and lost on the road to the current #25 CFP ranked team by a last minute TD. If I try and point that out, aggies and golden domers will say that the Big12 is weak and Tech's schedule is weak, yada yada yada. Well, tell me who A&M and Notre Dame have beat? Notre Dame has the USC (#15) win...that's their only victory over a CFP Top 25 team. They lost to A&M and Miami (and Miami lost to SMU and Louisville. So don't give me this crap that Tech's SOS is so much weaker than Notre Dame's, or Oregon's, or A&M's for that matter. We have wins over 3 Top 25 CFP teams, something those other teams don't have.
  19. I still don't understand why the BIG feels the need to do this. They already have the most lucrative TV deal. Are they mismanaging their funds? The whole thought of Universities and their athletic conference getting in bed with PE is mind-numbing.
  20. It’s funny because it’s true.
  21. Although I agree with your basic premise, the fact is I like what he's saying, so I'm giving him a pass on the tree, the aggy shirt, etc.
  22. Too short.
  23. Someone sure as hell is. Conference commissioner, university presidents, AD’s?? My fear is if the BIG10 does this horrible thing, other conferences will feel they have to do the same, and then it’s all over but the crying.
  24. Coaching matters. Not only are they extremely well coached, but he’s created a winning culture. You need both, and they have it. Their talent is good to great, but I firmly believe they are better coached than they are talented, and they are very talented.
  25. AT&T is our cell provider, and they offered us a free 14 day trial of DirectTV streaming. So that gets me through the next two Saturdays.
