Tell Me About Texas a&m
They were better than us all the years they didn't play us. So, by that standard, they've really closed the gap from the Big 12 days. People just don't understand!

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - This Is Fine
He was their big recruit. Until Concepcion showed up, he was their big hope. Undoubted game-changer. It would be a big deal if he goes to some other program and tears it up. Either the Aggies never found a way to use him or he's not as good as he was rated. It was small town high school competition, but he has flashed at A&M; he just hasn't made much of a mark. The Aggies constant expectation that he, almost alone, could lead them to greatness is why I recall him more than other players. Sometimes, I think being rated an athlete maybe confuses coaches when they get on campus. They dither too much about where to play him. I'm interested in how this turns out. @immamac BTW, love the upgrade. Looks and works great! Now my images won't be so huge. Well done!

Trump’s America
That letter is so disgusting that I could not finish it. It wasn't that long ago that the first few paragraphs would have been enough to destroy a politician in the public's mind. The active support for this man and the acquiescent non-opposition is sickening. The acquiescent likely remains unaware of this. Uninterested. Un-citizens of the republic. The active support shows how our attitude towards bullies has changed. A great number of us cheer them. I stopped reading the irony of the writer's claim that Trump had saved the building from almost certain destruction. We had to defile the building to save it.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
After one of the few times they beat us in the Big 12, my beloved and I went to a wine and food event at Becker Vineyards. You had to go down a line of tables for various tastes of food. It wasn't hard to tell who the Aggies were. Such a drab color for clothing. Anyway, an decked-out Aggie is one of the volunteers serving. I'm not a hateful fan. "Congratulations on your win yesterday. I'm a Longhorn." "It's nice to finally meet a good loser." It was this game. The stretch extends from the first year of the Big 12. Need anymore be said? I had rejoinders ready to launch in the missile silos of my mind. I remembered the saying about arguing with jackasses, particularly irony-deaf jackasses. I just smirked and moved on. After 6 mudholings in a row, let the little man enjoy his moment out of the dungeon of disgrace.

Trump’s America
The video is very persuasive. Compare the crowd reaction at the Kennedy assassination or even the Kirk assassination, those crowds hit the ground and/or fled. Why was this crowd different? Is it the big lie? It's almost inconceivable that so many hundreds of people could have been included in a fradulent demonstration of such importance. But maybe that's the genius. The actions staging the photo were well shown. I hadn't gathered that from earlier videos presented with no examination. The flag being lowered into the frame of the shot really stands out to me. There's this as well: The two dead persons. The assassin was perhaps paid to act the role unaware he would be killed as part of the script? I just looked up the firefighter and all the coverage is the usual eulogy stuff that the news template calls for. If a shot was heard and he took a bullet in the stands behind Trump, again, where is the crowd reaction? Did they find a way to shoot him that the crowd would not notice? Wouldn't some molecule of morality keep the conspirators from murdering people to promote a lie? January 6. Gallows. Dead cops. Trump shows no discomfort with that. I don't go for conspiracy theories, but ignoring those theories altogether makes the world safe for such conspiracies. I hadn't looked much at this until the last hour. It stinks. Lastly, Trump is a coward. He ran to the war bunker when BLM was peacefully demonstrating outside the gates of the White House. The secret service would have to use that crane to pry Trump from his crouch on the stage if he thought he was in danger. His little hands would be gripping the floor boards like grim death itself. I think I may be convinced. I'm sure we can rely on the big news media to set aside their template to really dig into this. Sure.

Trump’s America
He has a vocabulary of about 90 words. That's including conjunctions and articles. He only uses first person pronouns. Like no one's ever seen before. Worst ever. Greatest ever. I never heard of him. Some people are saying maybe the greatest ever. Dog. Tears in his eyes. Big manly arms. Hoax. Fake news. Ratings. Those are the meat and potatoes of his remarkably limited intellect. He basically knows how to steal and lie and fail. Oh, and cause needless suffering with total lack of empathy.

Texas A&M Recruiting 2027: Elko's Cholesterol - Not Great, Not Terrible
William! Stepping out into the open in writing! Long time, no see. Your English, with one odd exception, is pretty good here. You're welcome for the helpful hints. 1 Presumably this high-profile player is Reed. I guess if you're referring to College Station alone, William is correct on this one. It's been a long fall from the Heisman campaign at mid-season. His profile nationally is sort of like his profile when he's scurrying around his terrible big linemen: puny. 2 Who is William quoting? 3. Ya gotta know the man and his meticulousness. It's infused in every aspect of his life from the way he dresses to the level of fitness he maintains. Mike Elko is something else. He thinks a lot about things. Things like replacing his coordinators. Things like generating an offense against good teams. I think he really spent his meticulous time working out that boffo extension before the gas ran out on the dream mobile. Keep fluffing, William. Keep fluffing.

The ones who know you best. Nobody else gives a shit or just laughs at how bizarre you are. Stop reading the letters of praise from opposing fans written by Aggies. Or don't. Who cares?

Maybe an inoperable kidney stone. Or fall into an industrial shredder. He hangs on long enough to realize what's coming then, adios. Maybe get Vance's childhood sweetheart, too.

Their answer the last few years about being "little brother" is that people don't realize that A&M opened its doors 7 years (or whatever) before we did. They think that's a real zinger. Should shut all those shit-talking t.u. mouths! Fucking morons think the nickname has something to do with relative age rather than relative station in the world. Their answer confirms how small they are. Personally, I won't call a stalker "little brother" even if the stalker isn't particularly threatening. They've become more virulent since their stint of shady success under Sherrill then his bagman. Thought they had a new world order going there for a while. Nope. To be clear, I talk about the TexAggies not the increasing number of 2%ers who may save the place.

As Greenspoint alludes, you pretty much describe what I was referring to. The amusement park ride comparison recognizes the enjoyability of the experience. As such, the ride does what you say it will. The notes above (by others) about the movie being too long may be an indicator of what I mean. A well-wrought story never feels long. Some will reflexively say that all movies don't have to be Shakespeare. I find Shakespeare mostly impenetrable to read or watch. However, as I understand, his plays appealed to all levels of intellect and social strata in his day. They're all great stories, many of them borrowed from other sources. The Dark Knight is otherworldly and brilliant in every aspect of filmmaking. Michael Mann's Thief is one of the tightest movies I've ever seen. Bridesmaids is similarly brilliant to me. They have well told, interesting stories with some depth. The quality I'm describing can be found in the full range of move genres. It's not about intellectualism. (I don't mean to lecture @GreenspointTexas, I'm speaking generally just to make my own position clear.) Avatar has simplistic plots of good versus evil, ugliness versus beauty, and man conquering nature. You can do a lot with those conflicts. Avatar does not. The story provides the thinnest of threads to tie together a bloated movie that is way too much in love with itself. When something meant to be thrilling seems to drag, it's a sure sign that the filmmakers see their work as so wonderful that not a thing should be removed. I'm concerned that the studios only generate extravaganzas where only the most accomplished of directors have freedom to breath in life. Director Nolan does so. His movies are good on the surface and invite you to think if you're inclined to. That's a perfect balance. Most other big directors are hacks with technical prowess and largely empty souls. No world view. A last observation about the sadness of studios dropping quality, riskier, cheaper movies from their slate can be seen in the Academy Awards the last few years. Most nominees are small movies not seen by many people. Some are very good. Last year's slate was pretty awful. I didn't finish The Brutalist or the Emma Stone nekked fest because I didn't care about anything or anyone in them. The movie that won was watchable. It would be nice to see a real Hollywood movie with sweep, solid story, great acting; something memorable. To create anything artistically great, the artist must take risks. Risks payoff or fail with more magnitude than staying safe which risks being boring. The studio executives are risk averse, so they churn out the same movies over and over with only minor twists. The worst thing would be if they're creating an audience that remains satisfied with that. I write long because this interests me so much. Film is one of my fields.
