  1. no one who roots for Florida would call 2012 a great season for them they've done this thing-- I know you as an Aggie aren't familiar with it-- where they won the national championship, a few times. and they've had a few years where they won their conference championship (again, foreign concept) in 2012 they didn't even win the division and lost to Georgia. no one who roots for Florida is sitting around pulling his pud thinking about Johnny Manziel (once again, I know that will be foreign to you as an Aggie)
  2. this guy's really unloading the vault, here's an unreleased track that they played on the 2006 Brothers of a Feather tour-- to me this is a top 5 unreleased song and in their top 20 overall. It's really a shame it never made it on a record. This being a demo, it's a little uneven (there are overdubs but also some clearly first-take aspects of the performance). I think the version they played at the Rose Theater in April 2006 was better than the demo version. Either way, I just fucking love this song.
  3. here's the other half of that demo period, when they reconvened in January 1998
  4. I don't think any Ohio State fan raised on the rivalry will be able to just shrug after a win over Michigan. Maybe if OSU keeps winning every year and Michigan finally ditches their fight song and the helmets and changes its colors to pink and baby blue and its mascot to the Snowflake, that visceral feeling will dissipate, but I doubt it. I started following CFB when I was ten years old; someone who's thirty right now would have started following it in 2000 by that rubric. That means almost all they've seen of the rivalry is Ohio State winning, and that they haven't seen Michigan win a meaningful game in the rivalry since they were in the 8th grade. It would be interesting to see how someone that age feels about it.
  5. I gotta eat my crow, I shit all over Chip Brown for reporting that Urban Meyer was talking to Jimmy Johnson about becoming an NFL coach. That apparently actually happened. I was totally wrong about it. Which..... OK. I still think, though, that Fuck Chip Brown.
  6. If anyone's curious, the December 97 demos have finally leaked on the Internet (as opposed to tape trading circles, of which I was never a part). These are among the first demos they put together for what would become the By Your Side album in January 1999, but these were done before Columbia really got involved in telling them how the album was going to be. This was after the Band record (which they'd done on their own time/money) was rejected. They really blew it by not putting Bled To Death on By Your Side but I'm guessing the label probably dictated that. I really don't think there's another band out there that could put together a 10-12 song "unreleased tracks" record with as many really strong songs on it as the Crowes could. It doesn't seem like we're ever going to get a traditional "career retrospective" boxed set from these guys, but in the YouTube era maybe that doesn't matter anyway since practically all of the unreleased material is going to circulate.
  7. it's hard to describe, but it kind of rhymes with "well, it's clearly explained in the comics, if you read them"
  8. people that are squeeing about whatever this Wandavision thing is-- so it's like Marvel comic book characters pretending to be in a 50s sitcom, or something? how could this hold anyone's attention for more than five minutes? it sounds like it might make a mildly amusing SNL sketch. Oh who am I kidding, SNL stopped being even mildly amusing 20 years ago
  9. well, what the Aggie isn't telling you is, in said thread 100% of our fans are saying "it's a fucking travesty that none of our players could start for Bama, that's a good enough reason to fire Herman"
  10. Well I probably should be Drug out to sea Where I can't hurt no one And no one can hurt me At least I'd be free And probably I'd see What caused me to be So detached completely Jumping rope Through a thick cloud of smoke Fumbling through all Of the letters and the notes The ones that you wrote Did they keep me afloat Or just wrap 'round my throat Like a noose on a rope Probably both So lay low baby I won't be back anytime soon If it gets too lonely I will follow you 'round in this tune I don't know what to do What I'd do if I knew But we go through our day And get by and get through But my heart is with you You probably knew Your love is like glue So lay low baby I won't be back anytime soon If it gets too lonely I will follow you 'round in this tune So lay low baby Just for a little while more If you can't keep waiting I will find my way back to your door **************** if you've never felt like that, I envy you
  11. My boy and I were wondering what it’s like for you to have no soul. And, also, what do you use to fill up your body where the soul would be? Now, is that human excrement, or dog excrement?
  12. this is the most bingeable show I can remember in a long time-- it really is like eating potato chips.
  13. "Coach, what are your thoughts on Black Lives Matter?" "Coach, follow up question, what are your thoughts on the situation at the Capitol last week? And abortion? And Cuties on Netflix?"
  14. A&M's reaction to everything that's happened in CFB the past month or so just typifies their myopia. "We shoulda been number four! We shoulda been in the playoff instead of Ohio State/Notre Dame!" became "We shoulda been number two in the poll after the playoff!" Their focus was always on why Notre Dame shouldn't be in, why Ohio State shouldn't have been in, why Ohio State didn't deserve to be more popular in the post-season popularity poll. It's all about what other people think of them. "We should be thought of as better than anyone else except for Alabama!" Not "CFB needs to expand the playoff, because good teams are getting squeezed out like a Cadet's misshapen testicle". The Aggies didn't care when TCU and Baylor got left out in 2014, or when UCF didn't get a shot, or when Ohio State went when they didn't win their conference and didn't go when they did. Regardless of program, most fans you talk to think the CFP should be expanded and it's just a question of "how many" and "when". Not A&M! When it comes to the playoffs, Aggies have three major points they want you to hear: 1) OUR 2020 TEAM DESERVED TO GO IN THE DANG PLAYOFF AND COULDA WON THE WHOLE THING 2) HOW COME MORE SEC TEAMS WUDN'T IN THE DANG PLAYOFF (any other year) 3) OUR 2012 TEAM WOULDA WON THE WHOLE THING IF THEY'DA HAD A DANG PLAYOFF
  15. "You mean... the karate was INSIDE me, all along?" "Exactly, just like those four bear claws you ate for breakfast."
  16. I'm a white Texan and I've been to College Station, and been like "what the fuck" we're halfway through Season 3, it's funny as shit whether it means to be or not.
  17. Big 12 Football... It Just Means Meh
  18. You know Sarkisian stole that from Herman right? Kelvontay versus the CU LBer. I know that neither of them invented the strategy of trying to force the defense to cover the best receiver with a slow defender. My point was that if Sarkisian can get Ohio State, in the national championship game, against the Heisman winner, to commit to that, I would like to think it bodes well. That's a good coaching staff with good athletes, who had almost two weeks to plan against any kind of defensive alignment that ended up with their slowest linebacker checking Smith 1x1 without the ball. Maybe it was bad coaching by Ohio State, but maybe Sarkisian is what the pumpers think he is.
  19. watching Borland chase Smith into the end zone on the TD that made it (I think) 35-17 was fucking hilarious I'm trying not to read into last night too much, because Devonta Smith is so special, but the way Alabama's offense got him in space and (alternately) matched up with minus defenders really gives me hope for the Sarkisian era here
