  1. You have to be a moron to believe this. They have 4 guaranteed wins against Texas State, Lamar, UTSA, and Pig. They have a game against a neutered Ole Miss and Miss State at home. Both should be wins. They're already at 6. Auburn is normally due for one of their nonsense miracle runs about now but I wouldn't be surprised if they suck again and Gus will finally fail to do a magic act to save his job. That's 7. SCAR could be decent but with the talent disparity, A&M should have the edge. Either that or they could steal one of the four very difficult games they have. The road to seven is easy, eight is my expectation and nine wouldn't not surprise me with their schedule. While it is very top heavy and would give most teams 2-4 losses the bottom is easy as shit. If they don't get to 8 after bowl season lol @ Jimbo
  2. Is it possible we offer tomorrow? How long is he here for?
  3. Imo take a shot at UT. The difference between UT and A&M is very big. No clue what engineering he's doing, but I'm assuming ECE if he's having trouble getting in with a perfect GPA and a 1500 SAT. I know most of the elite companies don't seriously recruit undergrads at A&M. Most companies will hire a couple masters or PhDs from there but at every elite internship I know, there are almost no A&M undergrad students and where there are some they are dwarfed by the number of Longhorns. Naturally the same pattern continues into full time new grad employment. The network only helps at companies with poor hiring standards that allow nepotism to take place. Like no good company lets one dude make a hiring decision after two hours of talking about A&M or whatever their story is about how great it is.
  4. I think Eaton separated himself a little from the last four. But yeah I agree.
  5. Don't forget the ever famous there'll never be an n-word in SAE frat boy. OU is a hive of scum and villainy like no other.
  6. Got nothing else to add other than God bless IronStache
  7. I mean I'm not assuming we win it by default. What I'm saying is that a good candidate can win it without being born there or having a specific personal connection if they can speak well and/or have decent policies that get people excited.
  8. We don't need some dude to pander to the Midwest. We were literally what like 60k votes away from the Presidency with Hillary Clinton as the candidate after getting swiftboated by the Russians. We can win them with a decent candidate not from that area.
  9. Normally I find your shtick tiresome, but this was actually funny as fuck.
  10. Speaking of which, when will we partner with Stance? I have a couple of nice socks off theirs that I really love. If we could get it in Supima Cotton or Butter Blend (fabrics for those who can't tell) that'd be great.
  11. I was really worried going into it because I feel threading the needle between being pandering while trying to be engaging and relatable can be very difficult for old dudes in administration but thankfully these guys knew exactly what to do: treat football fans who happen to be women as football fans and talk to them like they're intelligent adults. A&M failed miserably to do that. In fact, they went one step worse. Instead of doing the normal faux pas of pandering by failing to treat them as adults or by over-pinkifying shit or by trying to relate shit to things they think women like in some sort of cringy manner, they went to sexual innuendo.
  12. By hiring and protecting their own whenever possible. Their fan base is Aunt Becky from full house on a massive scale.
  13. The correct thing to think is that EJ is getting played by a kid again. Dude trusts blindly.
  14. aggy is the Cornell of the SEC, except unlike the SEC, even the bottom of the Ivies are worth a damn (jk Cornell is trash)
  15. My guess is Ringo, Kimber/Eaton, Alford, Washington, CTJ
  16. So SEC teams had a month to beat BDF teams and they couldn't do it? Sounds like their problem not ours lmao.
  17. It was an extension after going 3-9. The extension lowered the buyout which is the death sentence, especially when it coincides with the "we have full confidence in X" line.
  18. This. Extension plus killing the buyout is the sign a coach is getting fired the next year if he doesn't produce. Granted for Illinois that just means bowling probably, but can Lovie do that? Probably not. Even if he can, the fact that those are your goals is pretty pathetic
  19. Why do that when we have the Department of Justice as part of the BOMC (check LSU basketball)
  20. I mean we were shorted like 150 pages. We would have made it a long time ago without this bullshit if those pages were in this thread.
  21. Hate to go all the way back to the beginning but after reading through half of page 1 I'm about ready to skip to the end. Muslims blowing shit up is a trope so common in Hollywood that it is practically cliche at this point. There isn't much portrayal of Judaism or Hinduism negatively, but that's largely because there isn't much portrayal of them at all. I can't think of the last time I saw an ultra devout character of either religion. Everyone now and then a largely non-practicing or at least not overtly devout one of either religion finds their religion as the butt of a joke, but that's about it. Not much positive portrayal of either though or Islam for that matter, whereas for Easter, we're getting treated to Breakthrough, a movie where the F-list version of Melissa McCarthy shows the liberal doctors and scientists that the healing power of God is stronger than anything they can do. Let me know when any other religion gets that treatment. You literally have to be a Christian to win election as President and just about any other major election in 90% of the country and somehow Christians are getting a bad rap in the media? EDIT: oh shit there seems to be a nice discussion on epistemology and metaphysics that has been going on. Maybe this thread is worth something.
