  1. No one is trying to go into any depth with you because you aren't worth the effort with this kind of bullshit. You're misinformed and blathering voluminously as though what you're spewing has any value for the discussion. It doesn't. You've been pathetically wrong here while first trying to cast aspersions with certitude, and now you're crawfishing with the bitch ass "tell me why I'm wrong" nonsense. 
    I somehow missed any discussion of Blue being some sort of team cancer, guilty as charged.
  2. You said everything was based on him skipping his senior year. That isn’t true. 
    Nobody is saying he shouldn’t have been let back on the team, and it was clearly a good choice by all involved. That doesn’t mean there weren’t a ton of red flags that had him on a short leash. 
    Maybe there were, I wasn't aware of them. In fact I was always surprised by the lack of waves he caused based on what we thought he was going to be like. I watched a podcast interview with him (4th and Longhorn?) a little while back where he explained why he skipped his senior season. Of course that could be complete bullshit but sounded sincere and reasonable the way he explained it.
  3. You are on this board too frequently to not have read the 1000 discussions and updates, many contemporaneously, about Blue's travels to be this fucking ignorant. Holy shit.
    Browsing the board and occasionally posting isn't the same as paying attention. Guess I missed all the Blue controversy. I knew about him entering the portal, but also know he came back out pretty quickly. If the coaching staff didn't want him around he would be somewhere else doing his thing.
  4. He also announced (not sure if he officially entered) that he was going to the transfer portal after his 1st year 
    So everyone who doesn't see a path to starting and enters the portal has attitude issues? Apparently Blue's wasn't too bad since he was either talked into coming back and/or allowed to come back if he decided on his own.

  5. See for yourself:
     
    I thought he handled himself well in the interview.  I'm not worried at all about his commitment to the team.  
    Blue never had an attitude problem, it was the media (and us to a degree) projecting that sort of thing onto him because he skipped his senior year. We sort of had the same concerns about Quinn as well if we dig deep in the memory banks..

    These days I'm not sure a 5* skipping their senior year would cause such speculation..but probably would anyway.

  6. We're not that far from being able to engage "Drunk Mode" in our self-driving electric cars where we click the "Home" button to get a safe ride home and the car will refuse any external input from our drunken hands.  
    I hope it's possible, anyhow.
    If you can't even sleep it off in your car (engine off) then what chance does this have of being allowed by law?
  7. Texas fans are in for a rude awakening w/r/t SEC refs.  
    Maybe so, but there was a stark difference between playing Bama in Austin with Rig12 refs versus Tuscaloosa with SEC zebras. I can't be the only one that noticed the refreshing lack of 10 minute game stoppages for what should be easy to spot on replay in about 10 seconds, and pretty much allowing receivers and DB's to do battle without ticky tacky bullshit.

    Of course that was only one crew, the SEC may be just as bad, but from the few SEC vs SEC games I watched the games seemed to flow much better.

  8. Like it or not, prime time college football is played in The SEC and The Big Ten.  I hate to say it, but The Aggies were right to make the move a decade ago.  The Horns should’ve made the move first.  For as long as I can remember as a long-time season-ticket holder, home foes at DKR have been mostly mediocre at best to downright pathetic playing in a conference where the only headlining opponent was played away from home at a neutral site.  In this aspect, it will be a pleasure getting to know our new conference brethren.  But with that said, f—k em’ all.  Time to take this new bitch over
    I think we should have gone west and saved the Pac, but that's just me. All the Pac leadership had to do is either tolerate LHN for a few years until the contract ran out, or negotiate with ESPN like the SEC did. Instead they chose the "unalive themselves" option, and here we are. There's no way a Pac that included USC, UCLA, Stanford, Oregon, Washington (all the others I can't be bothered to type) PLUS Texas, OU, Tceh and Okie Lite wouldn't be a worthy rival for the B1G and SEC. The 3 super conferences could have added all the worthwhile programs that make geographic sense, leaving all the left behinds to form their own conference..geographic sense be damned. Ahh well, C'est la vie.

  9. You really think this will drop him THREE or more rounds???
    I know in the past NFL teams tolerated much worse than a DUI, but times have changed. I don't know exactly what this will cost him, but it won't go unnoticed.

    I will say I was on the "Byron Murphy will go before Sweat" bandwagon back when that was an unpopular opinion, this just widens the gap further. I'm still a Sweat fan and think he can have a great career if he keeps his weight in check, but if I were a GM I'd take Murphy first.
  10. Bring a Gator fan, I’ve got a lot of hate built up against Georgia, LSU, and Bama. 

    To me the other teams are on a lower tier than us and I really don’t care or hate them too much. 
    I just can’t wait to watch a physical tough Texas football game where our players aren’t going to be thrown out for blowing up a WR screen. Can’t wait to watch a game that doesn’t have 35 official reviews and little meetings and bull shit calls. 
     
    We get a whole season of last years Alabama game. I’m looking forward to legit college football. 
    Oh wow, looking forward to another season with Sunbelt Billy running the show has got to be rough. (I lived through the Chuckles and Turtle Tom eras, so I feel ya)

    I guess the thinking among the AD (whoever does the hiring and firing) is that if Billy can get through the '24 schedule with only 3 or 4 losses the pressure to shitcan him will be less..and also save a lot of money?
  11. I stopped giving a shit about the Rig12 long before we left, but I'll occasionally watch a game here and there if I think it will be a good one.

    Everything in the SEC is new to us, so even games against Moo State, Vandy etc will have a little something extra the first few seasons, but after that it won't be any more exciting than going to Lawrence Kansas or the little big apple. However I am expecting the quality of athletes to be a bit better across the board vs the lower tier Big12 teams since (other than Vandy) they can recruit a bit better simply because they have the SEC logo.

    I love the cognitive dissonance among aggy and even other SEC fanbases crying about our "weak" schedule. I mean it's still an SEC schedule and we've been hearing for decades about "how it just means more" and "SEC teams are built different" and all that jazz, yet we have a weak schedule? Does not compute..

  12. Im fucking stunned he ordered Sam Adams. Woild have assumed Bud Ice or Zima
    Bud ice is for frat boys and adults who burned all their taste buds off years ago. I tried all the cheap, crappy beers in my late teens, early 20's...but somehow Bud Ice got excluded. A few years back curiosity got the better of me and I bought one of those large cans during a fuel stop on the way to a fishing trip. All I can say is Natty light can hold it's head high compared to whatever liquid death was in that can.

  13. I have probably posted this before, but…
    about 20 years ago, I was in a cross-functional meeting to plan a major new project. This one guy starts, “Let’s go around the room, say our name, and where we went to college. I’m Mike, and I went to Texas A&M”. 
     
    The next guy, a respected company leader- “My name is John, and I got my GED in prison”. 
     
    And that was the end of that foolishness. 
    That's some quality trolling on the company dime, sounds like a great workplace, lolz (Minus the aggy and whoever hired him)
