  1. I don't know how this relates to what I wrote.
  2. Their favorite drill:
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. The homoerotic undertones of their corps traditions suggests that they had plenty of possible sex partners.
  6. 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.
  7. The modern era of football is about to 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!
  8. 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.
  9. Don't underestimate President Donald J Trump's keen abilities, as proven by time, to acquire and develop land with enormous success!
  10. 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.
  11. Neutral field with no weird swirling wind to disable the better passing game don't mean nuthin.'
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Stolen from somebody else: Slocum's Razor
  15. Maybe big-armed Dreamy Brauny. Scary. Who is that in your avatar?
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. I did not know this. Double plus bad.
  19. Another kumbaya No Kings Day ought to do it.
  20. I hope everything goes as well as it can. That's my sentiment in any dire situation. I've heard of the burn treatments described by @Magus Ossis, and I think there could be no worse way to learn exactly how much you value living. Wife and kids must be a pretty solid goal for going through such agony day after day. I'm not a religious man. I think all good wishes are equally valuable and prayers in some way. I would be glad of all that I could get if I were in that bed. I wouldn't be concerned about the context from which they were launched. Very best wishes to Jordan.
  21. This kind of messaging I can get behind. All the appointees lying to defend this act and the Republicans voting down investigation of it are completely declared and shameless Nazis. Lethal shamelessness. My beautiful, little mother, back in the 80s when the death penalty was widely debated (remember things being widely debated? Sounds kind of quaint.) was asked if she could flip the switch or pull the trigger herself. "Damn right I could."
  22. I think it's fair and astute to say that Gov Walz is (would be) the biggest corruption story in America right now. So, about those Epstein files.
  23. Below is the stretch before the modern era. I start with 1955, but I will note that they only scored 12 points against Texas from 1894 to 1907, winning one game and tying two. Those two touchdowns were spread out over 1903 and 1904. In the same period, Texas scored 63 points. I guess the Aggies were off fighting the Boer War, probably for both sides since neither side really won. Pre-modern Era Here is the modern era (erasure begins in 1984) : Here is the post modern era or, the Post Erasure Era: In the 32 years since being erased, Texas has hardly won any games against the Aggies. Aggies dominated the national scene while Texas wallowed in irrelevance and eventually disbanded their football program. I'll note that Senor Umlaut, I think, said that there is no longer a starting date leading to the present that Aggies can cherry pick to claim a winning record against the Longhorns. Thus, the pitiful look over their sloping shoulders to a time 30 years ago, in another century, where they beat us a lot, never played for an MNC, and lost most of their bowl games.
