  1. Well Looch, it's like this. When you are not the main rival of your main rival, it's a probability that your school is not considered an elite football school and therefore lacks the pedigree to absorb a 5-7 season with minimal damage. So sit back and enjoy what a 5-7 season does for a consistently mediocre team. There's always next year.
  2. This Hill thing is really chapping that aggy ass. It's caused more aggy misery than going 5-7.
  3. Wash, rinse, repeat. It's been this way since the first year of recruiting... It's never, "fuck, tu beat us for that one".. it's never aggy sucking being an issue. It's always "tu money'. 100 + years of eyeballing the University of Texas with envy, desperately wanting to be UT, yet cannot comprehend why someone would pick "tu" over aggy.
  4. It will be funny to read all the agfics when a couple of those 13 commits get flipped on signing day and cause a panic with the others who have options.
  5. This will have a long term.affect. aggy is lucky that there's a portal now, or this would've been disastrous or even catastrophic.
  6. And yet it goes over their head, just like this class that is the embodiment of how aggy views itself. Accomplished so little, yet...
  7. Shouldn't that read; Coach Leach Tribute to Kyle Field? Fucking aggy....
  8. I'm struggling to come up with something-anything that hasn't.
  9. He did say that... And like always, he wasn't praising aggy, he was mocking them.
  10. I thought aggy is the misfortune some are just cursed with.
  11. Not that it really matters, because anyone is a fit... Jimbo's playbook Garbage Garbage Trash PUNT!
  12. Correction. 1. aggy runs its mount about how great they ARE. 2. Today, 9/1/1939 is the accepted starting date of WWII. But, at the time, it was considered a European War (and a.separate Asian War already being fought), and escalated to a World War with the attack on Pear Harbor.... So aggy hasn't won shit since BEFORE WWII. 3. Nobody thinks that shit it weird. It IS weird.
  13. It doesn't help that all those crankheads are some broke ass mother fuckers just like their state.

    This is correct. The Mannings have been doing this a long time. They are working towards Arch having a long and lucrative NFL career. That's the reason they are in no rush his development. That's the reason they stated a RS season isn't a problem. As for staying through a senior year, it's hard to say. I have a feeling it depends on how close we are to capping his college career with a NC, and how well our O-line protects. Risk vs reward is likely the deciding factor for the years he plays college ball. Money isn't going to be the biggest thing. They know the better he is in college, the more he will make in the NFL, and the more experience and maturity he has going into the NFL, the better the odds of him succeeding once there....
  15. And that's a reminder of how bad ass Colt was. His Junior and Senior years were spent behind a Swiss Cheese Line with O RB help.
  16. If I remember right, while he was at OSU, due to the QBs they had on campus, the true freshmen QBs had minimal practice workouts, and Ewers had even less because he was one of the scout team's QBs. This was one of the main reason he transfered after that year. Ewers came into a new system, without playing or even having a lot of practice in the prior two years. He might as well be a true freshman with two years of inactivity from his last HS game and his first College game. it has not been pretty at times. But at times, it's effortless for him. I get the feel he expected more out of himself and tried to shoulder the team, but it didn't work out that way. Throws he made 2 years ago consistently, were off this year, which had/has him thinking about the throw too much and it shows. When the receiver is open, it's almost as if he's in the pocket praying "please be a good throw, please be a good throw", and we've seen how it goes. But then other times, especially when he spots someone open he didn't expect, he does his wrist flick without a second thought and nails a dime, effortlessly. He's been up and down for sure, and it hasn't been pretty. A lot of it has been on him, but there's been plenty of times when the receivers haven't done him any favors, added to an O-line that's had it's share of breakdowns. Yes he could've played a little better... Or he could've played worse. It's possible he's still banged up. I remember Colt's sophomore year, his shoulder caused issues with accuracy and under throwing the deeper routes. I think Ewers will be okay next year. He did leave the door open for competition with Arch though, so if I'm mistaken, we have another top QB recruit to lean on. Training camp is going to be interesting next year.
  17. I know. Maybe it was the coach, maybe it was the team, but I just Didn't enjoy the season. I haven't enjoyed our running game since JC entered the draft early.
  18. Well, at least this year, they were even both ways against OU/UT. Hell, I was so used to having all hold calls go against Texas, while OU players got by with bear hugs and shit. That's the only game we will get somewhat of a break, if we are still here next year, but it will be pretty ugly in the rest.
  19. I believe Ewers will be just fine next year. He might as well be a true freshman, with a long gap between his last HS game and his first college game. He's had his moments, both good and bad, but drop balls and O line break downs from time to time, haven't helped either. I would love to RS Arch. I am going to miss Bijan. Until Bijan came along, I hadn't been excited about handing the ball off in a decade.
  20. 34 Texas. 24 Baylor Bijan. 163 yards.
  21. Isn't that the green light to use both holes to pick her up like a bowling ball if you find her passed out somewhere? Asking for a friend...
  22. Their only two P-5 wins were against Miami, who has lost to Middle Tennessee and Arkansas, who lost to Liberty. What else is needed to prove preseason polls need to end. The 6th ranked aggy is going to end the season ranked something like 106th in spite of wins over two high ranked teams at the time they played.
  23. "The attendance today is 90,000. This must be a typo. Excluding the ones who must be here today, such as myself, security, both teams, the band and such, the attendance is somewhere around 193-whatever year that was, to commemorate our last National Championship".
  24. Yeah, but how could anyone in the booth, look down at that crowd, and make that announcement out loud without busting up within the first three words coming out of their mouth?
