  1. But that's what they taught them to do in journalism school It's sort of like their obsession with "This is the biggest [thing] since [date]." There's usually not nearly enough time to make whatever happened sound historic. It's the biggest gathering of donkeys since donkey fest in 2019. As some of you may know, I despise cookie cutter "journalists" just following the template. Rush over to CR for more of my enormously brilliant comments!
  2. Been a long time, Ags. We got an open letter to the team. Gather 'round, fellas, and listen up. Starts kind of like an AA meeting, but stick with this guy. He's all Aggie! I suppose he's starting with a lie, a fine Aggie tradition. Is your name really Ian Neff? 1 Ah yes! Snook in the springtime. Cotton. Sunflowers. Long may it remain the pristine paradise that gives meaning to the words, "I'm an Aggie." A travel note: take a right on 2155 in Snook, and you can visit the Snook Cemetery of Despair and Betrayal. They say the salt of a million tears has left the ground barren and yellow. One imagines the players mumbling assent. Good ol' Snook. 2 Wow. Torbush Wow. The tens (hundreds?) of thousands of Aggies who never served or even faked serving by joining the Corps claiming "cultural ties" to those who have never fails to astonish. Yet, who could argue that Aggies don't have a "cultural tie" to victory? Just wait until their giant wakes up! Coach, you take it from here. Never forget, fellas. We've got a tradition of winning here! [Manly roar of response.] All right now. Settle down, there's even more tobacco for your pipe in here. 3 And now, boys, something deep. Something Aggies hardly ever mention. You know what I'm talkin' about here, and it's not just jawin'. We fight for our honor. The honor of Texas A&M University. The honor it is to be an Aggie. We. even. have. a. code. [Manly silent reverence almost like prayer.] There's more. So much more, guys. The relic. [Team: Ooooooo...] 4&4 Do it for Johnny. Do it for Billy. There's a reason we kiss our finger and touch the relic. Even though we're the furthest thing from a cult, we revere- you knuckleheads know what that means? Well, you better!- we revere these men. [Manly heads with teary eyes view the relic over the passage way to the field.] Alright, boys, take a minute to review their achievements. It's hard not to. Ian Neff has more to say. 5 Get's a little cockeyed here. I see smudges from tears. Gettin' a few myself. [Manly sniffs and clearing of throats.] Anyway, maybe he was overcome. True Ag. But here he asks why is he askin' us to win. That one's a thinker. Thought he covered that already, but I tell you this will tear your hearts right out. 6 He says it twice. He really wants us to win. Boys, buck up now, that's the same as a "really, really." Forget all that hooey about honor and Johnny and Snook! Ian Neff is personally requesting this. He says he's writin' this with vigor. Vigor! [Manfully, every player, water boy, jocksniffer, passerby, and coach leaps to their feet. Young men all dressed in white bound into the locker room. It's noisy until...Coach merely raises a hand. Absolute silence.] Let's win it for the Neffer! [Place goes nuts in a very masculine way. The bounding young men all dressed in white lead the cheering crowd for the next 20 minutes, singing and dancing to a song about a team they're not playing that day.] Quite a scene. You'd think-- Hey, what's the big idea you shovin' your mug into my little pow wow here? . Sorry, coach.
  3. That has 8-4 written all over it, at least at the moment. Maybe Elko can roll the dice and win again in the portal. November looks dicey. For a number of reasons, it would be fun to roll into Kyle Field, undefeated and top 3, then show them what finishing is all about.
  4. Then he posts a cartoon declaiming the MSM. Embarrassing is exactly the word.
  5. Eef Donald hass Ivanka. I haff Barron.
  6. Idiot World
  7. Me? I took four years of Latin. All A's! But you're right about learning it. I got to fifth semester where there are only serious students and discovered just how much I'd failed to learn. My handle is an unintentional monument to that shame. Same story with Classical Greek. My powerful short term memory carried me at the beginning without me even knowing it. I am teaching myself Spanish now. I don't remember the Latin palabras, but knowing many forms and constructions has helped. Me encanta estudiar la idioma espanol y apprenderla.
  8. That's not how this works. Those bastards shot down one of our helicopters! Let's make up for my personal insecurity by sending the Army to kill people and blow shit up for a few weeks to make me feel better about myself. I'M A VICARIOUS BADASS, MOTHERFUCKER! Remember how much everybody enjoyed the first weeks of the Iraq invasion? They loved seeing "our boys" in the combat zones paying psychological prices that we largely ignore when they return. Then they got bored when the stories were boring about what a shithole we created. But we showed them!!!
  9. Or any song that includes Latin or Hebrew. They's all messicans of one sort or 'nother.
  10. Within a year of losing Schloss. Sucks not to be a destination school.
  11. Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! Ever the victim of the ebil media and the talking points obviously fed to them by the BMOC Had only they played their best game in what was t.u.'s super-duper bowl! We played balls out with nothing else to play for other than the faint chance of a playoff spot, the pleasure of victory, and beating a loudmouth rival! How could they be expected to get up for a game against a team about whom they, in every venue, perform a mini-musical complete with choreography expressing the singular desire to defeat? What do they care about a first round bye, a trip to the SEC Championship game for the first time ever, the chance to win their first conference championship this century, and beating the school whose name dare not be mentioned? Thank God we didn't get their best effort and game plans! Everybody is thinking about you all the time, Aggies. Oh, such a burden it must be! Put all their achievements together and Yikes! I think it will take more than a playoff win to change that narrative. Sorry, Dude. I feel your pain.
  12. Respectfully, I think when you delineate the distinction between American and European political parties, I believe you also define how our parties can be more like religions than theirs. The GOP uses it's saints and apostles, Ronald Reagan and Rush Limbaugh, respectively, to further religious zeal. They're Shia. The Dems are more Unitarian whose adherents like the similar generally good intention but have no fervor.
  13. Nice to see someone focusing on the important parts of the story: Imagine if had been only ten days after Easter or on El Dia de Los Muertos! And who has ever had an affair with 3 children at home? John needs to print up the rules for everyone.
  14. Negged twice for quoting lies to disparage a man's character. You should be envying it, traitor.
