    These tickets are going to be dirt cheap right before the game (and/or once 40k tickets to the schools are distributed).

     

    Agreed. I'll bet lower bowl tickets are $500 or less by game time.

    Ole Looch with a surprisingly cordial tweet.  I like it better when he's not haha.
     

     

    I suspect he was euphoric after the Texas loss, feeling a huge sense of relief that the 'sips' will not win a national championship this year. This chemical high (briefly) allowed him to be magnanimous.

    We failed to get much pressure on Penix last night and he developed a rhythm that really exposed our weaknesses in the secondary.  We did finally start blitzing and that made Penix uncomfortable enough to throw a few incompletions and that helped give us a shot at the end.  That makes me think our odds to win these games against a great QB improve dramatically with a consistent pass rush that makes them have to operate under some duress.

    So, where is that help going to come from?  Do we have a monster pass rusher on the roster or in the pipeline?  I wouldn't mind seeing what Anthony Hill might be able to do playing on the edge in passing situations.  He has the athleticism and explosiveness to potentially be a disruptor.

     

     

    We did recruit the no. 1 pass rusher in the country, and we have a pass rusher coming in from the portal who rated near the top of those available. Both should offer immediate help as well as a maturing group of underclassmen. For the first time in a while I'm more worried about DT than DE.

  4. Fuck yeah!

    Quinn came back to Texas and has taken on the mantle of leadership at the University. He went into Tuscaloosa and crushed those backwater bastards. He led Texas to a Big XII championship. Dude is a certified badass and has played an instrumental role in bringing Texas back to the top. Can't wait to see where this ride ends.

    - Except the prism through which they are looking at this move, as well as pretty much all other moves (including something as broad and significant as a coaching change), is whether or not it would help them beat Texas.  The centerpiece of their asinine "Plan 2024".

    - And this guy (as Chuckie pointed out) is the Aggiest of Aggies ... here's another sample from him

    Good bull. Love to see Good Ags looking out for the interests of other Ags. 78Eagle is clearly looking at this in a non-biased way, and focused on what’s best for the kids.

    This is a hysterical comparison. 2017 was the first year there was an early signing period, and only about 60 percent of players signed early. Now that there is more familiarity with the concept, the early signing day number is about 90 percent. But nice comparison anyway, Brauny. Enjoy the Elko magic.

    Evan seems high maintenance, but is that it? 

    Sark has made a big deal out of building culture at Texas. Up until this season it was not clear whether that was coach speak or real talk. Pretty clearly, after this season, it's very real. Stuff like letting Jonathan Brooks take a snap in the Big 12 Championship is indicative of a strong culture. The team's fight-to-the-end mentality is indicative of strong culture.

    Texas is now in a position where they have NIL money, and an attractive program for WR portal candidates, such that they can be selective. We want Adonai Mitchells, not Agiye Halls. So Sark is not going to take a WR that fucks up that culture. Is Stewart talented? Heck yes. Will he be a good culture fit? Us plebes on the interwebs can't answer that.
