  1. Love it. Watching Ole Miss - Miami, I was getting pretty fed up with the showboating. I was wondering if I could stand it every game. Oregon and Indiana were more restrained as ourselves and Michigan. Glad to realize it was a function of team personality. I'm not liking the homogeneity of every college game. The bands play the same piece from the Shining. The fans sing to the same songs and routines led by the scoreboard. Watching players race to get to their feet so they can separate from everybody else to strike the same tired pose gets old, fast. I'm not talking spontaneous celebration that can look similar, I'm talking about pure performance after a play. Okay, I'm going out by the street so I can shake my cane at passing cars.
  2. I believe you mean US Government guaranteed, risk-free investments. I think it's called the Jimbo Doctrine.
  3. It's also mildly strange that their loss to Miami at home by a touchdown means they're top 4 while losing to a "mediocre" Texas team in their biggest game of the regular season has no implications whatsoever. It's also kind of pitiful that they whine about their seed (they wuz robbed) when all that means is they wished they played Tulane or James Madison so they could claim a playoff win of any kind. That's as far as they would have got provided that the swirling wind disabled JMU's offense enough. Getting the tenth seed was just too much. Also, it's looking like they had the softest bracket anyway. Such are the moral victories of the TexAggy.
  4. I didn't know you were a Red Raider. You're correct, I wasn't taking a shot. In fact, teams like Tech and others appearing high in the rankings with good teams is something I enjoy about the chaos of "NIL." I saw Tech very little this year, your defense was a pleasure to watch. At this moment, paying players has the unforeseen effect of greater parity. I'm not crazy about the term "blueblood" or the bickering about who is or isn't one. Great tradition doesn't entitle anyone to anything.
  5. I don't know how this relates to what I wrote.
  6. Their favorite drill:
  7. Yes. I think a result of so-called NIL that nobody foresaw was teams like Texas Tech buying their way into the game. Some non-juggernaut schools can scrape together money for a few players that never would have been interested at all. Maybe we're on the cusp of weird sort of parity. As @closetojumping noted, stability in the game is gone. We're not at an end point. I said a low seed making it so far is an anomaly, but we can only judge by the past. The future may indeed show that it's anybody's game. I like the idea of that kind of uncertainty. I hate the idea that players being attached their schools will go away. One of the things I liked about the college game was that I was pulling for guys who made a similar choice to my own: they wanted to go to Texas. If that evaporates completely so will my interest in the college game. I don't care about the NFL which is impossible for an NFL fan to comprehend. I think they want everything to be the NFL. Fuck that.
  8. We can also expect citizens to be terrified and thus rattled when approached by shouting ICE thugs approaching their cars angrily. People guilty of nothing and doing nothing suspicious get dragged from their cars, slammed to the ground, cuffed, and sent to jail. Some are beaten. Some are killed. The thugs first weapon is frightening the shit out of you. They are not public servants. They are not professionals, nor have they received professional training. They act with no empathy. They are indeed fucking terrorists getting paid by the USG. The real police and soldiery should be facing them down at gunpoint demanding surrender and assuring attack if they do not.
  9. The homoerotic undertones of their corps traditions suggests that they had plenty of possible sex partners.
  10. Fair, but it's sort of an anomaly isn't it? Further, how good are they actually? It's been the kind of year where it's hard to tell. Beating A&M 10-3 and a Kiffinless Ole Miss may just mean they caught the easier bracket. I'm not saying A&M and Ole Miss were bad, but, like I said, it's kind of a hard year to tell.
  11. The modern era of football is about to be shrunk to Nov. 20, 2025 when the Fightin' Texas Aggies proved themselves to be the second best team in the nation with maybe the most impressive loss in their extensive history of high value losses!
  12. I enjoy good games. That worth anything? Florida was a shit team that caught us at the end of our shit period. Also, the argument that the SEC is something special has been pretty much blown up this season. They lost all their post season games against other conferences ('cept'n us) and the Aggies lost only a single conference game. Lastly, it's a twelve (okay, ten) team playoff. If you're on the cusp of that, you're not that big of a deal.
  13. Don't underestimate President Donald J Trump's keen abilities, as proven by time, to acquire and develop land with enormous success!
  14. I browse TexAgs usually looking for something topical. I was exploring their vicarious championship run on the back of Miami. Too many Aggies (2%ers evidently) were being too sensible to be of any use to me. You see them at the top of the string below. I was about to close it up and go back to work, but the last guy's post seemed like another illumination of the TexAggy life and cult. That last sentence says it all. Essentially: It doesn't surprise me that someone not pleased with out loss doesn't have an AgTag. Indeed.
  15. Neutral field with no weird swirling wind to disable the better passing game don't mean nuthin.'
  16. If they were really classless assholes, the visitor section at Kyle would always be empty. Miami fans would still be wandering aimlessly, hopelessly lost in the labyrinth that is College Station.
  17. 1 A new modern era is born! Such a contorted child. Well, if you want to include the Big 12 wins, why not add 2011, your last year there when you actually played these teams and lost to both? 2 0-3 versus the school whose name dare not be spoken. 3 1-1 versus another team with a crushing overall record against you. Who cares about playoff appearances, playoff wins, scoring touchdowns in the playoffs, conference championships, or relevance? That's not what the modern era is all about! Brauny is soooo dreamy. I believe he was a cum laude (never missed the jar) graduate of the A&M Alchemy Department where losses are magically transformed into wins. Spike that ball, Braun man! 1 Too bad you're not. 2 You're the best 2-game-losing--streak, 0-1 playoff team, and national joke in the country. I'm sure Miami will note your achievement on their NC trophy should they win it. When they look back on the season, Texas A&M will surely be the game they talk about. Still, take credit for the loss. You deserve it.
  18. Stolen from somebody else: Slocum's Razor
  19. Maybe big-armed Dreamy Brauny. Scary. Who is that in your avatar?
  20. William: Ls? You pimp walking a victory before the final gun, UCLA style? This somehow give you scoreboard? Nope, you're trying to ease the pain. We won our last two games against ranked teams, how'd your season end? Real scoreboard shit. See you in the parking lot! Bring your shine box.
  21. At least they tried. Pretty pathetic, though. Now you're speaking my language. I think the oligarchs could weather it pretty easily. The acquiescent won't even know there's one planned or care. And this is why it won't happen. The wicked conspiracy of the banks, colleges, and Congress to put all college graduates into crushing debt is another shackle. I was shocked to find what had happened since I left school in the 80s. ICE is a state-sponsored gang of violence hungry thugs. It's killing me.
  22. I did not know this. Double plus bad.
