  1. I think y’all have Billy all wrong. He’s figured out the con game, and has been fleecing the rubes for decades, including employing his family and friends. He spews the propaganda they want, and empties their pockets as a result. He reinforces their hive mind and ensures they never reach full self-awareness. 
     

    Has anyone ever seen Randolf Duke and Billy Liucci in the same place?  I didn’t think so.

    So Coach was right, Albania's land is mountainous 

     

     

    Coach was such a brilliant character. In idle moments, to wind down, I’ve been watching Cheers on Paramount Plus. That first half of the series with Coach was very clever. 

    Diane was an inferior character to Rebecca, but Coach was better than Woody. Probably because the actors themselves were superior in both cases. 
    Case in point, I recently watched True Detective, first season. McConaughey acts circles around Harrelson. Harrelson just isn’t a good actor.

    But he did get the scenes with the hotties in True Detective, so advantage: Woody!

    Isn’t claustrophia worse with less room around you?

    It doesn’t make sense. At all. I wish logic worked. If it were logical, I’d be comfortable in the middle row of a SUV. But I’m not. I can’t even sit there. 
    I hate it. I wish I didn’t have it. But I do.

    I had managed to never hear that word spoken until this tournament despite having read it forever.

    When watching the tournament this year, Mrs. NNM pronounced it exactly as Jameslaw did. I think I even posted about it upthread.

    This cycle keeps getting better and better regarding the aggie roster and The Elk's apparent alchemy with its construction. ATM has now added a third TE transfer to their roster. I have spoilered Karels' article below but it is more terrific shit. Melko has people monitoring the sites and multiple reporters have been reprimanded so these articles get more and more careful, which makes things more and more obvious. It's greatness. 

    The new TE was a starter at East Carolina. He put up extremely pedestrian numbers over a 4 year career and ATM beat out Cal, Tulane, UH, and Oregon State for his services. 

    Meanwhile, the other two TEs they brought in from the transfer portal both sat out the spring game. Some of the alleged insiders are vaguely stating that The Elk and Crew will not tolerate loafers and that the roster will continue to churn. They'd better fucking hope so, as they now have 8! TEs on the roster. They're gonna have to RIF some more people, man. 

    I believe ATM currently has 8 scholarship WRs and 8 TEs on their roster. That is Collin Klein roster-building 101.

    East Carolina tight end transfer Shane Calhoun has verbally committed to Texas A&M, announcing the news Monday via X. He is the third transfer to verbally pledge to the Aggies during the 15-day spring window for the NCAA Transfer Portal, joining Utah center Kolinu'u Faaiu and Pittsburgh linebacker Solomon DeShields.

    As a graduate transfer, Calhoun has one season of collegiate eligibility remaining. He entered the portal last Wednesday and landed scholarship offers from several Division I programs, including California, Oregon State, Tulane, Houston, USF, New Mexico State and Marshall. He took an official visit to A&M over the weekend before making his decision public.

    Across four seasons with the Pirates (2020-23), the 6-foot-3, 242-pound Calhoun appeared in 38 games with 33 starts. During that span, he recorded a combined 63 catches for 594 yards and six touchdowns. Calhoun enjoyed his best career season in 2022, catching 25 passes for 202 yards and two touchdowns. Through seven games last season, Calhoun tallied 15 receptions for 119 yards and two touchdowns.

    East Carolina initially signed Calhoun to its 2020 recruiting class. 247Sports gave the Saint Augustine (Fla.) Creekside product a three-star rating, ranking him as its No. 59 tight end and No. 138 Florida player in that cycle. Per the 247Sports Composite, Calhoun came in as the No. 57 tight end, No. 159 Florida player and No. 1,200 overall player.

    Where A&M stands with its scholarship numbers, transfer portal work

    Following last season, A&M made tight end a priority during the winter portal window. With Calhoun in the mix, the Aggies have now picked up three transfer tight ends this offseason. Garrett Miller (Purdue) and Tre Watson (Fresno State) were the other additions.

    Barring any additions or subtractions, A&M will have eight scholarship tight ends going into the 2024 season: Sixth-year senior Jerry Johnson III and Miller, fifth-year senior Calhoun, senior Watson, redshirt sophomores Donovan Green and Theo Melin Öhrström, redshirt freshman Jaden Platt and true freshman Eric Karner.

    When including Calhoun, the Aggies now have a projected scholarship count of 90 players for the fall. Per NCAA rules, A&M will not need to meet the 85-scholarship limit until the first day of its fall semester. GigEm247 will continue to update its spring transfer portal tracker for the Aggies, which can be found here.

    Five scholarship players have departed A&M for the portal during the spring window (April 16-30): linebacker Alex Howard, safety Jacoby Mathews, cornerback Sam McCall, offensive lineman Derrick Graham and kicker Ethan Moczulski.

    Here are a few gems from the comments:

    "Elko & company are adding GROWN MEN. We want to win now!!

    Dude has logged 1800 snaps in college!"

    "Can he play tackle?"

     

    TAMU beat NMSU in the transfer recruiting for this guy. 

    Advantage Aggie.

    I don't even want to know what kind of whacked-out crazy is in that dude's head.

    That’s because you are a sheep. You probably inhaled some chemtrails and are controlled by the microchip that’s been surreptitiously implanted in you.
