  1. Well, in all fairness, he didn't say WHEN he was leaving Texas. I guess those were long-term plans.
  2. If we're ever tempted to take current affairs for granted, just sit in the dark at midnight, whisper the name Steve Patterson, and tremble. You know what that assholes' resume says about his time here: "Steve dramatically increased endowments and set records for tickets, premium seating, donations, concessions, and licensing revenues while dramatically reducing costs and upgrading data management to drive further future financial successes." I guess he couldn't work in "...oversaw development of some of the most boring, embarrassingly dreary sports programs in school history, had a vision that consisted of patchwork, psychotic skinflint delusions, and barely escaped town ahead of a lynch mob." I hope a sports executive AI beats him to death with a rancid, gristly chicken-fried steak that he saved $1.62 on the ingredients in an attempt to drive future financial successes.
  3. And at least Taaffe didn't cause the tragedy in question, unlike A&M with a certain pagan fire ritual everyone with a functioning brain stem knew was a bad idea.
  4. Don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel. And can we shut up about the juggernaut that Texas Tech is not and never will be.
  5. I think Lubbock is still Lubbock, other schools are now aware of their new recruiting schtick, and Tech will settle out as a more expensive version of what they've always been. They could win the Medium 12 occasionally, but they'll never amount to much nationally. This season hinges on whether or not their transfer class is a dramatic upgrade or not. I don't personally see it, even if their OOC schedule is a disgrace. When all is said and done, Tech will settle for attention.
  6. I thought knowing shit about fuck was a prerequisite for most of us. Or maybe that was knowing fuck about shit.
  7. I'm confused. I thought we were all supposed to have slit our wrists by now and left a note bowing to our new, shitty Big 12 school overlords.
  8. But I want instant gratification, and I want it NOW!!!!!
  9. Heh, all we had to do was score one more touchdown and then go for a 23-point conversion. Seriously, it's the 1984 Cotton Bowl loss to Georgia that really stings. Our offense was so damn conservative we let it come down to that one fucking punt.
  10. Remember how UH used to beat the shit out of us in the McWilliams era? Or how about Mack and OU in the early 2000s? Or, if I really want to be cruel, there's always a blow-by-blow recounting of that Cotton Bowl against Miami. Or. and I'm just spitballing here, we could maybe enjoy the present while it lasts. Anyone up for that?
  11. They're problem is that they're so marinated in their own BS, they think everyone else sees them as they see themselves. In reality, no one gives them a second thought, except when they're behaving weird in public. But then the thought is neither awe nor fear. It's "fucking weirdos--how'd they ever get in this conference?."
  12. Build your program through recruiting? Recruit top-end talent? Who knew that would facilitate success?
  13. "juggernauted sleeping giant fucklion of a program" That would look awesome on a maroon and white t-shit.
  14. Elko: "Our goal is to build the best program we are capable of being..." That's fine. Standard coaching pablum. "... When we do that, it won't matter who we play or who is in the SEC. No one will be able to stop us." WTF? When you haven't won a national title in 85 fucking years, who talks like that? That's A&M's problem in a nutshell. They just believe they're entitled to be the very best of the very best, absent any evidence that they're even above average. And they call us arrogant? We may have underachieved relative to our potential a fair amount, but at least we have achieved mightily at times in living memory.
  15. Some seasons things just don't work out when it matters. Shit happens. Just have to reload and hope critical depth improves.
  16. Kazakhs are nice people, even with the reticence that lingers in older generations from having lived under Soviet security. My youngest son is Kazakh. He was the only surviving member of his family, and we adopted him.
  17. The odd thing is that, no matter how many different ways they try to justify their imaginary victory over the forces of evil centered in Austin, they never, ever enjoy it. One because, deep down, they know it's BS. And two because they are so warped that they actually enjoy their envy of Texas. It gives their pitiful cult a sense of meaning. They're pure and righteous because they lose. They can't fathom the awful possibility that maybe God just has a sense of humor. That they're alone in the darkness of a dead dog cemetery with only a jizz jar for company.
  18. Maybe they're a symbolic representation of the 12th Loser.
  19. If A&M is on fire, the proper etiquette is to wait until they've collapsed into a smoldering corpse and then piss on them. After all, it will be your last chance.
  20. Yeah, but they've got a dead dog cemetery, dorky milk men, toy soldiers, Soviet-style architecture, and a variety of pitiful sadomasochistic rituals to go with the bestest fans ever. It takes a lot of money to pull 18-year-old kids away from that.
  21. Aggie always wins imaginary games. You can't run out of time in imaginary games.
