After that game I made a famous post on HF calling out the usual haters for their chicken little bulshit, telling them to get lost until the season was over, ended up winning 19 straight after that and scoring 50+ ppg the season later.

It’s always stated that it all works out by the end of the season. But does it? Why does “settle it on the field” only matter during the playoffs?
What team was left out of the 12 team playoff last year due to their preseason ranking?

I am far from convinced, because this is just the kind of silly thing they like to claim to glorify their program.
It is entirely believable.

Our last football title happened during the Clinton administration. Our claim to fame is the fake military that parades around campus. While UT students get a taste of big city living in Austin, Aggies are left with, well, whatever it is you do for fun in College Station (I never quite figured it out).
I've made peace with it. I loved my time at Texas A&M. I made good friends, got a degree, and am gainfully employed. I come from a long line of Aggies, and though I was taught to loathe the color orange, I even befriended a few T-Sips, some of whom are valued friends and colleagues.
But I'm more than a little miffed about an under-the-radar aspect of the A&M - UT rivalry: the celebs, alum and not, who hang around the Forty Acres. I asked my newsroom colleagues to name some famous Longhorns, and I must admit that the sheer number of A-listers that have passed through Austin is impressive.
Wes Anderson. Matthew McConaughey. Owen Wilson. Walter Cronkite. Jayne Mansfield. Glen Powell. Jon Hamm (don't look up why Hamm never graduated). Trevante Rhodes. Kevin Durant. Richard Linklater. Xavier Worthy. Farah Fawcett. Janis Joplin. Roger Clemens. Neil deGrasse Tyson. Renee Zellweger. Kinky Friedman. One of the guys from the Velvet Underground. Governors. Congressmen. A First Lady. Christ almighty, maybe what starts in Austin really does change the world.
By comparison, the roster of former A&M students is thin. Former Disney star Tiffany Thornton? Fightin' Texas Aggie. Oscar nominee and character actor Rip Torn? Class of '52, baby. George P. Mitchell probably wouldn't have been able to develop the Woodlands without a degree from the Texas A&M University. Rick Perry. Martín Torrijos, the 35th president of Panama. My grandmother saw distinguished alum Lyle Lovett play a show at a small bar near campus once. The guy who designed the Burj Khalifa. I mean no offense to Rip Torn, who was hilarious in Freddy Got Fingered, but this is embarrassing, guys.
I get it, on some level. Texas A&M can't hold a candle to UT's radio and film program. If you want to get into showbusiness or journalism, UT is the place to go. But plenty of business leaders, inventors and politicians have gone through Aggieland. We've had some sports icons, too. Mike Evans is cool. Von Miller is an alum, even if he's not that into us. Dude Perfect was fun when I was in middle school. Johnny Manziel was cool before, well, everything. Robert Earl Keen has some great records. I can live with this.
What really grinds my gears, however, is the differences in celebrities who have attached themselves to Texas' flagship schools.
Nowhere was the disparity bigger than last fall. After the Longhorns demolished Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry game in October, pop superstar Dua Lipa donned a custom Texas jersey during her set at Austin City Limits Music Festival. Who showed up to rep my school that season? None other than perennial Arizona also-ran Kari Lake, who hung out on the sidelines of the Aug. 31 season opener in a maroon "HOWDY" shirt as a guest of Ted Cruz. Texas A&M lost that game 13-23 to Duke, and Lake would lose her race for U.S. Senate to Democrat Ruben Gallego months later. Lake went to Iowa. Why is she at my alma mater? George H.W. Bush's name is all over College Station, and he went to Yale. And when Drake has attached himself to your brand in this day and age, something has gone terribly wrong.
If Kendrick Lamar was right that Drake runs to Atlanta when he needs street cred, then celebs, Texan or not, run to College Station when they need to borrow some Real Texas Authenticity™. When conservative influencers do live shows, they head to College Station. While Matthew McConaughey teaches classes at UT, we got a Richard Spencer rally. After his acquittal in 2022, Kyle Rittenhouse declared his intention to attend Texas A&M University (he was never accepted).
A&M's conservative reputation is well-earned. This is a school that, for much of its history, was an all-male military school. Tradition, honor, integrity—these are Aggie values (although many would argue that so is racism and exclusion). It is, at first glance, the place for stuffy engineers and guys who want nothing more than an MBA. It is not the spot for artsy outcasts.
But maybe UT just has better branding. The Longhorn logo is timeless and has been slapped on every piece of merchandise you can think of. Burnt orange is inescapable in Texas and often spotted all across the world. During a visit to the mall recently, I noticed that the store sold three trendy fashion baseball caps: Yankees, Dodgers and Longhorns. Just like C-listers and right-wing media types want a piece of Aggieland, there's a reason celebs want to rep burnt orange. It's a brand meant to signal prestige, good taste, nice upbringing. It says, "I am someone."
Maybe this is just my little brother complex talking; it is a little ridiculous to be annoyed by the people who attach themselves to your alma mater. I guess it's up to me to be the coolest person who went to Texas A&M. But then again, I paid all that tuition. Is it too much to ask that we get Pedro Pascal in something maroon and white?

Yes, arthroscopic-assisted ACLs are very different, as are rehab protocols now, than what was done a couple of generations ago. Technically, I would call the LCL (lateral collateral ligament) the anterior part of the PLC (postero-lateral corner, not to be confused with the PCL, posterior cruciate ligament). Depending on whether he avulsed (pulled off) or tore mid-substance on his LCL, he might have had different surgeries; with a high-level RB like him, my guess is that he had some graft sewn in there unless it was obviously strictly avulsed. I can't remember with certainty, but I think the early concern was that Baxter had torn PCL, too. Not tearing PCL and not tearing more of the posterior portions of the PLC (eg Popliteus) would take some of my concerns away regarding aggressive early motion in therapy and hence help him be better positioned for a potentially faster and more complete recovery. Once he is this far out, his recovery trajectory is more about how rapidly he can re-train and how well he re-adapts to full go.

Watched this again in 4K the other night and it looked incredible.
If you've never listened to the Rewatchables podcast, this would be a good introduction.
Start with the Road House, Cobra, and Hard to Kill episodes.

that’s the entire premise of the thread. the hottest actor right now has a tweet with 35 million views (and counting) accusing him of serially and publicly groping women. instead of being concerned about the tweet and its momentum, a whole bunch of you are instead concerned about me sharing this fact. “they’re coming for pedro pascal now.” i’m not “trying so hard” to do anything, im relaying to you that even the most beloved current actor is not immune from being accused of being a perv because…2025. as i’ve been saying, you being upset by this fact (or by me sharing it) won’t make it any less real.
Thank you for your service.

We used to have something called the Theo principle, in which whatever bad thing you did as a kid recently, Theo would do that week on the show. Lie to his parents, get caught sneaking out, bad grades…. without fail.
