Geez. The aggie fanbase is loaded with weak-willed men. Ron Swanson would not approve.

Christ. How much weed do we think this guy smoked? Is Captain Doobage running through so much of that shit that he’s at risk of flunking out or something? -
Has anyone watched the guy? I’ve seen a little of him. He’s a far better running QB than passing QB. UNLV is winning as much because of their defense as anything.

Las Vegas go hard or go home thread

I actually have been. Agreed it’s dead, which is kind of nice. Went to Carbone for the first time last night. It was fine, I don’t blame anyone that likes to go there. For. me, Piero’s is way better, way less expensive and you can almost always get a reservation, even day before-ish. The server last night explicitly stated that the Carbone veal parm was better than Piero’s, out of nowhere. So I had to try it. It was good but Piero’s is the best I have ever eaten, anywhere. And $45 less expensive. They’re building some sort of structure in front of the Bellagio fountains that I don’t recall reading about here. It looked permanent but construction and engineering are not my bailiwicks. The conference I attended was at Caesar’s, so I played some blackjack to bide time when the craps tables were dead. They were paying 3/2 on blackjack, which I haven’t seen on the strip in forever. I thought it might be a Caesar’s empire thing, but no, I played some blackjack with my wife after eating brunch at Mon Ami Gabi yesterday and it was back to the shitty 6/5. -

Are they saying this on their boards or something? Last I was over on the ND 247 board weeks ago, Loy or Lemming or one of their guys was touting the promise of Carr, the highly ranked true freshman. Taking a new QB every year seems unsustainable, but it’s a new frontier, I guess. -
Some thoughts are best tucked away and left to enjoy all on our own, Skipper.

Man, that is really ugly and bad for everyone involved.

I have a friend who was dating Simms during that whole thing. She’s French and doesn’t give a shit about football, so she was totally ignorant and unprepared for what unfolded. Listening to her describe the overall experience and what he went through is both sobering and surreal. Mack mishandled it all, but Texas fans embarrassed all of us in that debacle. Texas should invite Simms back and recognize him the way they do so many of the past greats and celebrate him at a game. They’ve never done it. I know he never won a conference title and choked against CU and those teams never beat OU, but damn. My fear if they ever did have him on the field and show him on the big screen is that a bunch of the same fucking idiots would make his return feel shabby. That wouldn’t be on Mack. That would be on pieces of shit among our fanbase.- 2541 replies

Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo
closetojumping replied to Machinator's topic in Football
Not really. He punched down just fine and then famously “got a ring” for all of the apologists and Lake Travis honks to point to, but beating up a bunch of midgets as a “can’t miss” five star isn’t anything to debunk his bust status at Texas and reveal the fact that he was overrated and sucked. -

Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo
closetojumping replied to Machinator's topic in Football
Obviously I didn’t have access, but I have some friends who did. One actually tried to speak truth to power in his own honest and unrefined way and paid a price for it. Same thing happened when Herman was in charge but the power dynamics for both sides were markedly different. Others tried to handle it more gently and would get left in the dark for small periods in order for Mack to remind them of who was in charge and the consequences for doubting him. -
Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo
closetojumping replied to Machinator's topic in Football
Right. Everyone had it the whole way. Get fucked with this shit. We flew a fucking banner for the Iowa State game in 2010 in the midst of an 5-7 season but before it was fair accompli and the hue and cry from Shaggy posters was panic and angst over alienating Mack Brown. There was also the typical cabal of unfunny and joyless clowns who didn’t like it because of who was doing it, but that’s beside the point. The vast majority of Hornfans/Shaggy posters didn’t want to hear about it and had their head in the sand when it came to looking at what Brown and Co. we’re doing starting 2006. 2010 helped some but not all get religion. Many still defended Mack into the teens. Nowadays, the reality of the past is an orphan. The revisionist history has many fathers. I’ve been here the whole time and the notion that much of the board saw it straight is a fucking joke. I have the scars from it and I am always going to call bullshit on this kind of “shared history”. From 2006-2016, there isn’t a ton of shared history across the posterbase. @SydneyCarton @HenryJames good shit right here. -

The dude’s brother is a walk-on there or something. What could that guy possibly be telling him to keep him stably committed? I’ve said it before but if that QB willingly signs with ATM after seeing this season and hearing about the history of QB failure there, he immediately becomes the dumbest motherfucker on a college football roster.- 2541 replies

Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo
closetojumping replied to Machinator's topic in Football
This is revisionist. When I showed up on Shaggy and started posting that the staff was lazy and there was an unwarranted boost that happened for recruits when they committed to Texas, almost zero posters were on board with it. I was taunted and negged and told I knew nothing. When I posted about street agents and told Seastrunk’s aunt that she was full of shit and they were on the take, regular posters still on this site were calling for my banning. Posters on Shaggy were as asleep at the wheel about where things were going as Mack Brown. Numerous folks were basically crying when I said Gilbert was a bad recruit to bet the farm on. Same for Swoopes over Barrett. Same for Mack Brown just deciding to cancel recruiting in Houston. Or taking a commitment from a guy in a wheelchair who was a 2 star recruit at Lake Travis. Or letting Mac McWhorter just add who he wanted within a 50 miles radius and no further of Austin. No, posters here and there didn’t have it the whole way. Glad we do now though. Sure. -
So OU is moving a backup CB to WR this week out of desperation. Of course, Venables isn’t framing it that way, and why would he?, but his comments are still classically over the top and unnecessary: "He's not a good receiver.; he's fantastic," Venables said. "He looked really, really good tonight. For a guy who hasn't been working that for a while, he was really, really good…. You know me — anybody that knows me, I don't really sunshine pump. That's not me. I try to use my words carefully, and so anyway, he was actually out there with them and running routes and looked really good and natural, as much as anything." Right. This is slow-motion train wreck shit at this point.

Can we not do the stupid shit with names like “Tenner”? All of the dumb SEC nicknames reek of SEC Rant and idiocy. Everyone here did. It’s fantastic, really. The murmurs of Texas getting unfairly favored are growing. Fuck all of those whiners.- 529 replies

Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
closetojumping replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
100% Moffitt put on too much weight with this team, but Elko also literally directed that. It cracks me up. I think the guy gets drafted and reshapes his body for the combine if he’s smart. It’s just kind of absurd that they fucked it up even with this guy. I guess he could still go on a run with what they have in front of them. He’s not though. Watch the Bowling Green footage if you want to debunk that claim for yourself. -
Because I overtly said there was. It’s not the end of the world. Not everyone will work out. If Mitchell and Niblack not materializing is our biggest problem in a cycle, that is high cotton for NIL commitments. And no one needs to give up on either guy completely yet. Mitchell is still on the team for the moment and no one is down about Niblack being a roster/human problem or wanting to leave.

Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
closetojumping replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
It really is awesome seeing some of them grasp reality clearly, while trapped in that asylum with others. Some of the others kind of get it, but they’re always going to retreat to red ass when pressed. And then there are the pure red asses with not only the inability to grasp what they’re witnessing, and also, due to their worldview, incapable of grasping what they’re seeing even if they knew football, but also wholly convicted in their righteousness against those who dare to post otherwise. We’ve talked about all of this for a long time and it is all now on display so clearly. Cooper hid a lot of ugly on that defense. No one covering ATM or posting on their sites even vaguely bothered to examine this massive issue. @RomaVicta wrote more about it here than all of their write-ups combined. York is who he was ranked as - a 3 star who should be really turning conference heads in the Sun Belt. He’s a terrible option as a starting LB in P4. The only thing we’ve really collectively missed on in examining ATM heading into the season is Nick Scourton. They hyped him out of the spring game and he had a great season last year at Purdue. Thus far, he hasn’t done shit at ATM in the 2024 season.
