  1. this one's a cover of an Ann Peebles song, but they put a good spin on it
  2. OU-A&M would have been an ideal post-season matchup, especially as a first-round playoff game in an eight-team playoff (bumping OU to a top-four seed as conference champion), but also as a Cotton or Orange Bowl matchup. But we don't get ideal post-season matchups, we get a honked out four-team playoff and a bunch of bullshit bowl alliances.
  3. Agree, but don't argue with an Aggie and leave that detail out, it's the greatest thing their baseball program ever accomplished don't argue with an Aggie at all, come to think of it
  4. because no one gives a fuck about the college baseball polls. they don't republish after the CWS (or didn't in 1989), so who cares? but it's technically accurate to say they've finished in the Top 4 of a poll in that sport, even though it doesn't matter since they didn't make the "final four" of the CWS. so not only is it just a regular season thing, it was only one poll-- they were 9th in Collegiate Baseball, 2nd in Baseball America. try to see it like an Aggie would, maybe that will help
  5. this is a little bit longer-- still a stem where some repeating parts are truncated so I can get the whole thing across in 2 minutes thanks for listening
  6. yes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_NCAA_Division_I_baseball_rankings
  7. trick question, football IS the only major sport but they've never made a Final Four in basketball or gotten that far at the CWS-- I think they had a baseball team finish #2 in the poll in 1989 or something like that
  8. Congratulations to Texas A&M for finishing in the Top 4 for the first time since 1939, and I am sure we all look forward to your breaking into the Top 3 at some point in the next 80 years
  9. KUTX has become a lot less listenable over the past six months. I personally feel like they were plenty representative of artists like Adia Victoria, Devon Gilfillian, Gary Clark Jr, etc, but maybe when they said they felt really really bad and naughty about their track record of providing representation of black artists, they just meant black artists whose talent wasn't immediately evident.
  10. Heywood's a convicted felon, isn't he Monte? It.... it doesn't really say that here-- Well, he should be.
  11. I am so fucking excited about poaching Cal's strength and conditioning coach
  12. That would probably be our best option. The eastern alignment of the Pac-X (assuming that means the two Arizona schools, Utah/Colorado, and the two LA schools, plus whatever we schlep over from the Big 12) is a more attractive regular slate of games than the Big Ten West and as long as OU comes with us, more attractive than the Big 12's dog's breakfast of KSU, West Virginia, etc. I just can't see us in the SEC, culturally. Also, creating a "super division" with Texas, OU, LSU, and Alabama in it (along with Auburn and A&M) would be self-defeating under the current post-season alignment.
  13. no one would go around licking dudes on the face if they didn't have at least some admiration for them you know what I mean
  14. That's up to the head coach, Ash, and the new DC. Ohio State hired Ash to co-coordinate their defense with Luke Fickell in 2014 and that could have been the exact kind of dick-waving tension that you're getting at, but they got along extremely well and Ohio State's defense improved significantly.
  15. Very possible. Hard to know what the truth is regarding Saban's replacement. Most of the news regarding Sarkisian's staff is encouraging, to be sure.
  16. because CDC does not have the power or ability to magically change overnight the culture of grabass mediocrity that led to those hirings. Just because CDC wasn't here to hire Charlie Strong doesn't mean we're now immune to terrible decisions driven by significant insiders. Our football program has a long track record of hiring conveniently and rewarding mediocrity, even under CDC (the extension). It will take a long time where we're clearly operating with the same cutthroat mentality of the programs we watch in the CFB every year before a lot of us are willing to accept that "it's all better now". I agree that CDC firing Herman is a huge feather in his cap, assuming he had much to do with the decision.
  17. you don't want him teaching dudes how to catch the ball?
