    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.Β 

    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.Β 

    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.Β 

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

    East CarolinaΒ tight end transferΒ Shane CalhounΒ has verbally committed to Texas A&M, announcing the news Monday via X. He is theΒ third transferΒ to verbally pledge to the Aggies during the 15-day spring window for theΒ NCAA Transfer Portal, joiningΒ UtahΒ centerΒ Kolinu'u FaaiuΒ andΒ PittsburghΒ linebackerΒ Solomon DeShields.

    As a graduate transfer, Calhoun has one season of collegiate eligibility remaining. He entered the portal last WednesdayΒ and landed scholarship offers from several Division I programs, includingΒ California,Β Oregon State,Β Tulane,Β Houston,Β USF,Β New Mexico StateΒ 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. 138Β FloridaΒ 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.Β Garrett MillerΒ (Purdue) andΒ Tre WatsonΒ (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 seniorΒ Jerry Johnson IIIΒ and Miller,Β fifth-year senior Calhoun, senior Watson, redshirt sophomoresΒ Donovan GreenΒ andΒ Theo Melin Γ–hrstrΓΆm, redshirt freshmanΒ Jaden PlattΒ and true freshmanΒ 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 foundΒ here.

    Five scholarship players have departed A&M for the portal during the spring window (April 16-30): linebackerΒ Alex Howard, safetyΒ Jacoby Mathews, cornerbackΒ Sam McCall, offensive linemanΒ Derrick GrahamΒ and kickerΒ Ethan Moczulski.

    Here are a few gems from the comments:

    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.Β

    About $300 from Home Depot. Warms the seat, cleanses, warm air blower to dry.Β  Minimal use of Tp just to make sure. No walking around with small bits of fecal matter in Tp on your ass. Greatness.

    This hits close to home.Β  My oldest had a Taylor Swift-themed sleepover birthday party last night.Β  They wanted to listen to the new album so i downloaded it, put up speakers and a disco ball and light show and decorations and photo booth and all that.Β  And figured, "It's a full-length album so 75 minutes from now, they'll be danced out and want to get to bed and I can still take everything down and pack it up before I hit the hay."Β Β 

    Fucking thing is 31 tracks.Β  That's not a record, that's a fucking boxed set.Β  I tried to stay up once in junior high and listen to Physical Graffiti all the way through and didn't make it and I wasn't even dancing.Β  What the shit, Taylor?Β  Put a fucking parental warning label on there, "NOTICE TO PARENTS:Β  THIS ALBUM CONTAINS EXPLICITLY EXTENSIVE DURATIONS!"Β  They didn't go to bed until freakin 11:00p.Β  Good times, good times.Β Β 

    My daughters are all grown up and married now. Β I miss a lot of things about having my daughters in my home, but not sleepovers. The screeching, drama, and general inanity of preteen and teenage sleepovers is not fun.Β

    Wife tried to cut my 8yo daughters' bangs. They are crooked, uneven, too short, etc.

    Her: Well, I think they look cheek.

    Me: Cheek?

    Her: Wait, what did you say?

    Me: Did you say they look 'cheek'?

    Her: Yeah.

    Me: Do you mean chic?

    Her: (realizing she said something stupid) ooooohhhh. You're going to post this on your site, aren't you?

    That’s one of my most embarrassing moments. Growing up, I read a lot so had a big vocabulary, but hadn’t heard some of the words in that vocabulary spoken. I was in a theater class my first semester freshman year and had to read a line of dialogue that included β€œchic.” Β I pronounced it chick. Everyone laughed. I was humiliated.Β
