  1. That's what happens when you play at the end of the season. The favorite has a full season's worth of data behind it. Also, A&M and Texas are rarely both on a roll when they play. Typically, one is up while the other is reverting to the median.
  2. It wasn't a perfect throw, but in my days as a receiver, it was what we'd consider catchable. Maybe 25% Ewers fault and 75% the receivers. But when it's 50% or more on the receiver, he gets the blame no matter how geometrically disorienting that 25% was. Cuz it's not exactly a walk in the park to throw the ball either. That said, Quin could use some improvement in consistency on deep throws.
  3. Hey, at least we're still better than the Giants. Probably. Maybe.
  4. That is true. And Quinn definitely has his moments. He's a good-to-very-good college quarterback, but not a great one. I kind of feel bad for him, because I don't think his resume necessarily translates into the draft status he wants. NFL scouts will note that he's (1) injury prone; (2) inconsistent with the deep ball; (3) inconsistent with his footwork (a real red flag); and (4) can evidence a certain passivity in the face of difficulties.
  5. Geez, the level of fetal position moaning in this thread is something else. What's the point of panicking on a Texas team that actually is capable of winning its last four games? Certainly the offense needs to be more consistent and play two good halves, but I'm riding with 11-1 and the SEC title game until another loss actually occurs.
  6. I like him, but he's having a historically bad game.
  7. He does seem to be playing himself down any future draft boards.
  8. Trust the process. It's taken us only decades to come within 38 points of Detroit. It also brought us the scintillating return of Ezekial Elliot's corpse and the fascinatingly dull enigma that is Dak Prescott. And senility can only help Jerry's judgement, right? 2057 is our year. Just wait!
  9. Spot on. Most fans would understand this as a year to keep their expectations in check. They were 7-6 last year, fired their coach in an epic contractual clusterfuck, and had heavy player turnover in the portal, losing more talent than they gained. So, it's probably a meh year where you simply enjoy it if they do better than that. But no... Every A&M hire, recruit and portal pick-up is a master stroke from the Elk, their latest greatest coaching hire ever. The Sleeping Giant... has hit the snooze button again. Dammit! Elko sucks! We need to find an even newer greatest coaching hire ever! One who comes here already squeezing his left nut.
  10. They may be some of the worst linemen in P4, but you forget the Aggie ace in the hole--they really get A&M. God help them.
  11. Well, if everyone says you're obviously not a Heisman candidate, that's early Heisman talk, isn't it?
  12. Isn't it just adorable (or as adorable as a mindlessly belligerent rodent gets) how they refer to THE STATION. Like it's some unfathomably happening VIBE capitol instead of a rancid slide of redneck nothing burger, which it most assuredly is. The fucking Station has never, ever been buzzing. Except maybe with flies.
  13. Because they took pity on you fucking weirdos and decided against treating you like what you really are--a fourth-class citizen nobody likes.
  14. Well, to be fair, Aggie is a destination. For Soviet style architecture aficionados, weirdos with a milkman fetish, toy soldiers, backward hobgoblins, people who like to build dangerous structures with logs, and those who want to be in a cult while pretending to be the greatest little fan-base ever. So, yeah, fuck the 12th man. He's a fucking loser.
  15. It already has been. This will simply embiggen it.
  16. Geez. We hired a baseball coach. These pathetic drama queens make it sound like we betrayed Christ.
  17. This is classic Aggie bullshit. The cheesy, high morality act combined with a total lack of perspective. It's fucking college baseball, not a war. Now, go play solider with the Corps and wave your sword indignantly in the general direction of Austin (if you know which direction that is).
  18. The only way to top this would be to buy Reveille and ship her off to lesbian Collie commune in Malibu.
  19. Blah, blah, blah, dethrone Texas, blah, blah, blah, THE state power, blah, blah, blah, Sleeping Giant, blah, blah, blah, Rich as Fuck, blah, blah, woof, woof.
  20. A&M is a dream job in every way but two: (1) You have to live there; and (2) you have to hang out with a bunch of fucking Aggies. College Station or Austin.... Hmmm... Doesn't seem that hard of a choice.
  21. Amazing how every new Aggie staff has a remarkable attention to detail until they're fired, at which point they were always a bunch of slacker losers, and the new staff has a remarkable attention to detail. Don't care, got the new guy. Aggie coaches--they're all great until they're not.
  22. I have never been involved in such a conversation. I have, however, had SEC fans ask me what's wrong with A&M. My personal favorite was an elderly lady who rather sheepishly asked "You're not like those Aggies, are you?" I assured her we were not.
  23. What is this eternal obsession with Horns Down? Most Texas fans could care less if someone does Horns Down. That's just the inevitable cost of having a well-recognized symbol like Hook em Horns that your team is known for. Nobody does Thumbs Down because Gig Em' Aggies is a symbol that is both obscure and stupid. I'll never forget watching the second half of the A&M-Oklahoma State game in 2011. The No.8 Aggies led the #7 Cowboys 20-3 before choking their way to a 30-29 loss on the hallowed grounds of Kyle Field. The kind of loss that would have any Longhorn fan pissed if it happened to us. Yet, at game's end, when the TV cameras panned the crowd, there were these two clusterfuck idiots in maroon and white smiling as they did Horns Down. WTF? That's the same as admitting you're not a serious football program, you have no expectations of ever being one, and you don't even have your own identity. Big brother is living rent free in your head, or would be if he ever deigned to spend any time in that mentally deficient rat's nest.
  24. So, what is wrong with at least mentioning Arkansas. I realize that Pig has fallen on some tough times of late, but they're arguably a more memorable foe than fucking Aggie. The 1969 Big Shootout is one of the most legendary games in UT's history, and they were certainly a more meaningful rival than Aggie has ever been in the Royal/Broyles years. And if we're talking about overselling Pig, what gang of numb nuts was it who scheduled them in Dallas and called it "The Southwest Classic?" Rivalries are built on a foundation of gut-check games. Texas-Oklahoma has dozens. Texas-Arkansas has a respectable smattering. Texas-Aggie--not so much. It's basically streaks of us kicking their ass with the occasional upset and one Aggie period of dominance when they were cheating like mad. Who gives a shit? Texas-OU is a rivalry because you feel it in your bones. Texas-Aggie is a rivalry because your mother told you that you had to play with that weird little kid down the street to keep his feelings from being hurt.
  25. The sky has been the limit for Aggie forever, at least according to them. You'd think they would have hit it at least once in 84 years. Hell, we've hit it three times in the 55 years I've been watching Texas football, not to mention the times we were one win away. I guess they've been searching for the perfect Elko culture for 84 years. Just like they were searching for the perfect Jimbo culture for 78 years. Why is it every Aggy coach in memory has installed the perfect culture before ever playing a game?
