Excuse you, sir? If a thoughtful pair of parents want to name their son after a legend with a career OPS of .828 and a leader of the breakers of Babe Ruth’s curse, who are we to question that?

Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
closetojumping replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
@SydneyCarton and I had the luck of playing a round of 18 yesterday with a true member of Old Army. We have a buddy, who is a 2%er if there ever was one, that we play with once every 6-8 weeks. We were short a 4th yesterday and he brought along an old boss of his that is also now his friend. So we started the day with redass older dude seeing my longhorn hat and SC’s longhorn polo and the old hits started early when he started talking shit to us about the 9-0 loss the night before in baseball to Arkansas. Living vicariously through other teams? Check. “We just swept y’all and you’re talking shit?” He tells us we barely won and they’d have won at home or neutral. Minimizing Texas achievements while claiming hypothetical wins? Check and check. Gems from the rest of the day: -“Marcel Reed is special” -“Klein knows football. “ -“Elko is going to get it done.” -“Wish we were gifted the schedule you guys had last year and yours this year. “ -“The OLine is going to carry us. “ I know I missed several. It was hard to keep up. The screenshots from this thread were jumping off of the Internet and into our real life and it was surreal. It helped that we kept baiting him with softball after softball. -
We don’t all have to love the same movies, gramps.

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Full Roster Weaponization

That’s just IT people huffing their own farts. Not the guy. -
I don't give a shit about Twitter - the business. What I care about, and I think others the same, is the ability to click through, or see the whole post, or see old embeds when looking at something from the past, all of that. Just seeing links and no image, or an incomplete image or one that doesn't click through when looking for more, I feel like all of these thing happen now, along with dead image space on old pages.

I’m not dying on the hill that he graduated. Just thought I read that he did. I don’t remember being pumped about anyone other than Tapp, but I could be wrong. The reality is, we all wanted that class to be awesome because we felt like we needed it to be, given the decade+ of shittiness. -
You can point to numbers and whatever, but your fuckery with Twitter was fucking dumb and remains dumb. The site is worse for it and the user experience is worse for it. No one gives a fuck if you and the CR clowns had your feelings hurt by Elon Musk. It sucks. No, I don’t have the time or interest in building my own site and the lack of Twitter embeds aren’t enough to cause any sane person to go do that, particularly since all of your other contributions are appreciated. I just wish you’d cut the political infusion for every thread worth a damn where Twitter embeds would be helpful. Everyone not in the CR and interested in the political shit feels this way. Anyone saying otherwise when this comes up has a long CR history that can be seen when clicking on their profile here, including super clever posters on this thread.

Okay, I give up. Am I the only person that doesn’t understand what the fuck is going on here? You forgot the part about salting the earth in the parts where their empires once stood. Otherwise, I am with you, brother. I haven’t missed a chance to let some motherfuckers know when someone brings anything up on occasion around ball fields, bball courts, or just somewhere random in general.

I am pretty sure that Finkley graduated. Bryant played this year and was blown off the ball every time he was in on a snap. It was depressing to watch. -

Well, there you go, I guess. -
You should quote me where I said Vernon Broughton doesn't care about football. I don't remember that part when I did say that he prioritized his wedding over the spring game and that pissed the coaches off. You know, the things that actually happened. We can play the game where we each work to pull up dumb takes from the other's posting history. I am interested in seeing how that goes for the two of us. Is that something you're interested in doing?

The White Stag of every transfer cycle for Texas is the badass WR who will not be named, but would change everything if he joined the program. We've faced that in 3 consecutive cycles. Now, I'm not saying Texas hasn't also signed some terrific WR transfers in each cycle, because they have. Nonetheless, there's always been "another". Two years in a row it was the WR/KR from Kentucky who finally went in in the 3rd year and Texas ignored him. One of those years, Evan Stewart had also agreed to a deal and ATM moneywhipped him stay and continue to devolve into a team-destroying shitheel. The guy out there remaining as a potential get, who will probably stay where he's at and deflate us all, would be a better get than either Stewart or the Kentucky guy. At least, IMO.- 194 replies

Sucks for him. That was a gruesome injury to witness. Theisman, Tyrone Prothro, and this dude all on national tv of some sort. When a leg injury turns a body part sideways, backwards, or in multiple directions at once, the playing days are usually over. I guess Tim Krumrie and Alex Smith might disagree, but those are both crazy ass stories in bravery, persistence, and lunacy.
-
It would look like hammered poo. That dude isn't an outside receiver. His hands also kind of suck. A 2nd round grade for him is absurd. I won't be surprised if he's passed up by year's end. He didn't do himself any favors with how he handled part of the offseason, either. He's not going to get a lot of undue loyalty the way he did this past season. You took one play and attempted to build a foundation with that and your usual bullshit of negging Ewers as some sort of subpar college QB. It's astonishing how often you sprint onto this board in order to show us your ability to projectile vomit bad takes.

I enjoyed the book, True Grit, as well as the latter film. No Country For Old Men, book and movie, are both excellent. Apology accepted. We’re currently witnessing some true snobbery and idiocy here due to the Coen Brothers, and that’s a given whenever they are mentioned. So does Nolan not count because he’s British? You can’t really call his movies “British” and he rivals anyone.
-
He’s got no idea what’s coming. How many of us have been a part of M&A in some form? He has no clue and he’s projecting. I am loving this. It’s hilarious. Nahlin is completely unsophisticated on these matters and Ketchum is probably even more clueless.
-
I think you have it pretty straight as far as I can tell.
-
So one of Nahlin and Ketchum is about to be tossed out on his ass as they’ll merge sites eventually. Either that, or, and this is quite disturbing, they join forces to become the biggest blowhard, fake insider recruiting board on the planet.

No, JFK is also a terrible movie. What the fuck is going on here? Boring legal/weed debates and now overrated movies from the 80’s/early 90’s talk? We need WR transfer rumors or something.
-
I tried to watch it once because of how many people told me it was a must-see. Didn’t pass my 30 minute rule when watching movies. I wouldn’t waste my time.

My 11 YO just went deep for the second time in LL last night. No doubter off the best pitcher in the league and then threw 4 IP for the win. He’s hit bombs in select and won games on the mound in select plenty. Still, doing it in the playoffs in LL with his buddies is a whole different thing. It’s insane watching kids throw around 70 from 46 feet and then watching another kid turn on it.

So excited to go to the SEC with these Tennessee assholes
closetojumping replied to TexasEd's topic in Football
This just shows you how truly stupid many of the programs and collectives are right now. Madden Iamaleava couldn't hold Trey Owens or KJ Lacey's jock and yet he was set to make more in NIL than those two, combined. What a clusterfuck of idiots between the Arky collective, the Arky coaches, and the Iamaleavas. -

The “I’m so fucking fed up” thread on Aggie 247 is pretty outstanding. That poster base is much smaller than Texags and they’re a magnitude more intelligent. As well, there are times where Tarp will actually let his guard down and post honestly. Anyway, here’s a string of posts including some terrific stuff around Elko being a fat waste of space:
