    Ford Explorer 2017. One of the wheels is throwing a warning that the tire pressure monitoring system has failed on one wheel. It's definitely not working according to the dashboard. Ford Quicklane quoted me $250 over the phone. I'm completely unfamiliar with these systems. Is $250 reasonable? 

    Same thing happened to my 2019 Chevy Suburban. My quote for a fix was $100. I think $250 is a bit high but don't know the particulars. 

    There's some kind of $10 tool that allows one to reset/relearn the sensor. That might be worth a try. Just google it and see if it may help. 

    Or, you can just ignore it. Which is what I've done before.

    He shouldn’t call another game ever again at any level. 

    I just watched Lindsay on Close Call Sports and she agreed with the ejections ( as do I). She didn’t like the “shoo-fly” gesture but everything else was done absolutely correctly. 
     

    I mean does the middle name have any relevance ?  At all?

    Baseball has rules and follows them. I not against that.

    Some poor P5 program is really going to take a chance on Kinne and get burned horrendously. So far his coaching career has involved inheriting a talented group of players at UIW, then getting them to transfer with him to Texas State. Dude knows nothing about building a winner.

    Why the hate? Best of luck to Kinne and Texas State. 

    If aggy had half a brain they would've hired this guy and his staff instead of some obese douchebag from Duke.

    They aren’t a little brother anymore because they’ve been dumped in the Baby Moses box at the fire station.

    Not to be too impolitic, but aggy is less a "little brother" and more of a "slightly retarded second cousin" at this point. Or maybe not so slightly.

    The Elk is gearing up for that fat contract extension before he gets fired.

    I love sentences with “The Elk” and “fat”. 
     

    just seem to belong together.

    I went to TexAgs expecting celebration. These guys are really down.

    Then there's this mantra followed by an element of truth.

    Maybe you're just doing less with less. You have lesser coaches working for historically mediocre programs that don't recruit at high levels unless there's lots of money or the recruits have been indoctrinated from an early age. 

    The assumption that A&M is somehow "more" or a sleeping giant is a part of your dishonest mythology that includes stories of the corps loading artillery onto a flatcar to shell Waco or how you're the victim in every riot you started. The absurd tragedy of the bonfire fiasco is turned into something heroic. You build an idiotically big tower of logs without a safe plan for doing so.

    The day will not come that the veil that hides the extraordinariness will be lifted for all will see how wonderful A&M really is. There is no veil. Everybody sees a bunch of weirdos. Fine, embrace that. Congratulate yourselves on delusions of being a "part of something bigger than yourselves."

    Constant self-congratulation and certainty that nothing can be wrong is the magic combination for success in any endeavor. Keep up the good work!

    The best part is aggy should've dropped the A&M for State back in the 60's along with their off-putting, fake army culture.

    Too late

    Part of the perverse aggy "charm" is their congenital inability to make reasonable decisions or to make reasonable defenses of those stupid decisions. But then, those two things kind of go hand-in-hand. 

    It's like when they said "the only bad thing about giving Jimbo that big of a contract is that we couldn't do it for 15 years". 

    My god.

    Everything about UT chaps their hides.  

    I once had an aggie ask me, "Why does t.u. get to be called 'Texas?'  A&M is in Texas, too.  So is Tech, and TCU, and a bunch of other schools."  I was dumbfounded.  I replied that there are lots of schools in Michigan, but only The University of Michigan, is called Michigan.  It's the default designation for the flagship public university in most states.

    So you know it pisses them off that one of the most iconic representations of the state of Texas-- the Longhorn breed of cattle-- is associated directly with UT, and not their own school.

     

    Exactly. The stupidity is mind-bottling. But then it's aggy.

    It's the Michigan Wolverines and the Michigan State Spartans. It's not the Michigan Spartans. 

    Seems an easy concept to understand, but then again, it's aggy.

    NEW: 67% of people in CA-22 rely on Medicaid. But the majority of the district also voted to elect President Trump in 2024.

    So we went to talk to residents about Trump’s proposed cuts to Medicaid.

    One Trump voter told us: “I feel like they're stabbing us in the back, you know?”

    Not in the back. You're getting stabbed in the front. You're just too stupid/ignorant to know it.

  10. Sorry to see Bregman go, but basically fuck him. At his age the Astros would’ve been fools to sign him to a contract longer than 6 years. Maybe even fools at 6 years. Or maybe it’s all Boras’ fault. 
     

    Maybe Bregman will put up killer numbers thus year. If so, good for him. But I doubt it.

    Some people are hardwired to be fuck ups. They come from all walks of life. Some happen to play football. 

    I hope he turns it around, gets the help he needs and all that, but there are some people who can't be helped. They don't want to be helped. Not everybody wants to get better.

  12. Mukuba's immaculate interception and Bolden's fumble recovery in the end zone against ou are my two favorite (so far) plays of the season. 

    Incredible plays, incredible teammates. 

    Hook 'em!

    After the game, I guess he could

     

     

     

    But seriously - all props to Skattabo, the guy played his guts out. He talked a ton of shit, and then went out in the 2nd half and put his team on his shoulders. Hats off to the guy.

    Yep. Earlier in the game my wife was calling him Skattabohoo. But he did an outstanding job.

    One of the biggest coaching Fuck You's you'll ever see in-game, at any level.

    Half dozen times in the 2H, Bilema put his QB under center, with one RB, and everyone (9 bodies) on the LOS. No WR. No one in the slot.  No nothing on the outside. You never see this. Just a big fuck you, stop us to the South Carolina defense. And it wasn't close. Illinois just mowed that defense down and won the game on the final drive in doing so.

    Men v. boys. 

    Today I became an Illini fan.

    That is the irony of this. When I wrote I do not think ASU will break 20 pts, I assumed most would understand my expectations for Leavitt in this game and how seriously I took the #1 grading by PFF. Just saying the guy is a good QB

    I don't think ASU will score much more than 20, if that. But I'm ok if the Horns win by "only" 3. 

    Texas right now reminds me a bit of the old saying "slow is smooth, smooth is fast". Other than playing against Georgia, the Horns just win. Maybe not by as much as we'd like, or as pretty as we like, but they win. 

    And if the other teams think they can hang with us because we only beat Vandy by 3, then by god, let them think that. Because they can't hang with us. 

    Hook 'em!

  16. It's glorious over at texags. lol

    Someone posted that Elko is a Golden Corral buffet coach on a Ruth's Chris budget. I mean, he does look grotesquely obese and aggy sure does spend (waste) a lot of money on incompetent coaching staff, so they have a point. 

    aggy will never stop being aggy. Glorious.
