  1. But I thought the Station was lit? How could such a happening place lose any staff to somewhere else?
  2. What does it mean to "have broken the football" in a winning season?
  3. They'll just have to double down the worship for M-Elk.
  4. Reminds me of a famous joke. Q: How many Aggies does it take to build a bonfire? A: It depends. How many are you looking to get rid of?
  5. I can easily imagine moving my family from BCS to almost anywhere else.
  6. Aggie would counter by just awarding themselves a bunch of titles from the 1880s and 1890s, under the logic that if they had played Yale or Princeton or Harvard, they would have won.
  7. Still legitimately counts, though. And I wouldn't call that Cotton Bowl a beat down. We actually outgained Notre Dame, held them scoreless in the 2nd half, and were close to a touchdown that would have brought us within one score before QB Eddie Phillips got hurt. 1977 (the 1978 Cotton Bowl) was the genuine beat down by Notre Dame. And anyway, 1970 will always be special for the annihilation of Arkansas in the Big Shootout II at the end of the season.
  8. 1963 is not in my college football watching window, but it was certainly legit.
  9. Someone just sent me this from a site called "Undying Bonfire." "This is history. They enact a memory of Aggies we lost, and rekindle perpetually a great legacy. Bonfire is the foremost leadership lab of its kind in the world. Completely student led and executed, Aggie students test and form themselves and each other throughout the year-round process of building Bonfire." These people simply defy satire. Everything they do is legendary in their minds.
  10. They can never just accept a coach as a reasonable hire and wait to see how it works out. They've been snorting the "sleeping giant" cocaine for so long that the actually believe A&M's natural place is being the preeminent program in college football. So each new coach has to pander to that delusion. It's utterly bizarre. Over my decades of watching college football, the average season for Texas is 8.5 wins and 3.5 losses. basically oscillating between 8-4 and 9-3. That's life among the big boys, but it has included some very memorable years along with three national championships. And then there's Aggie, whose only national championship is four generations ago and rapidly passing out of living memory. But they're not just some paltry 8-4 program. No, they're rightful place is as gods among men, winning at a clip that would make Saban green with envy. Each new coach is a Messiah orbiting the Divinity that is Reveille and the Corps, bringing endless glory to that heaven on earth, land of milk and honey called College Station. If David Koresh was still around, he'd be their perfect football coach.
  11. What about his undefeated record against everyone?
  12. That's their problem, that whole "sleeping giant" sense of entitlement. It skews their thinking to the absurd. All they really need to do is trim back some of their more embarrassing "traditions," accept that an 8-4 baseline isn't so bad, hire a normal, decent coach and evaluate him normally. Then build from there. If they'd just do that, they might be surprised how many really good seasons they could have in the up years of their cycle. I suspect it would be more satisfying than this whole "shoot the moon because we're rich" idiocy they've got going. But that assumes some degree of normalcy to begin with, so of course it's the one thing they'll never do.
  13. Congratulations! No more trips to Ames, either. A bonus.
  14. All true, but if Dabo were to take a Jimbo level contract from A&M, I'd have to consider him less stupid than I do now.
  15. I don't know much of anything about knee injuries. Juts hope good luck for Brooks.
  16. Well, that's their whole schtick, isn't it? They've never actually lost--they just run out of time. Texas A&M: From the outside looking in, you wouldn't waste a second trying to actually understand something so obviously fucked up; from the inside looking out, you're just a mouth-breathing, delusional freak.
  17. Man, that's some sorry ass stuff. And I'm so tired of that pathetic tantrum that ex-military took an oath to defend the Constitution. What about the preface ex- (or former) do you not fucking understand? I was in the military, and I took that oath, but I'm also not some hopeless moron. I understand that was an oath that applied to my time as part of a massive hierarchical organization that would give me orders telling me exactly what I must do to defend the Constitution. It didn't make me some demented, freelance Constitution interpreter and protector for the rest of my life. What a bunch of entitled, whiny shit-stains.
  18. Just as a matter of principle, right?
  19. If they want to be the next Georgia, shouldn't they start growing a shitload of peaches?
  20. He had a premonition that mourning clothes would be appropriate.
  21. Brock Purdy's rating is 144.4. Dak 52.7.
  22. Just a good old fashioned butt kicking. Cowboys are kind of bullies. They pour it on against bad teams but have trouble when the other team can fight back.
  23. But what about Cougar High? After all, they played Rice close. I will not miss this island of Misfit Toys conference.
