  1. Those winged monkeys in my butt are suffocating and dying to get out.
  2. A worthwhile observation about money, but be careful of post hoc ergo propter hoc. Xs and Os looked bad early because of poor execution. Plays were there. I'm not arguing Sark's perfect. I do argue the performance I named. I stick by my assessment of us being overrated to start the year. The main point of my post was about who would we get to replace Sark who would certainly improve on what he is doing. Who would that be? I've noticed over the years that many people don't think that far ahead. Several top programs face that problem now. Who's next?
  3. Build underground, keep a large, hidden water cistern, stockpile sunscreen, and get a cockroach cookbook. My sarcasm meter isn't registering, but I don't believe this can be serious. Congrats on the dry delivery. Such a smart movie. As for the laissez-faire attitude towards suffering children, I will remind that there's a difference between a hungry child and a starving child. I probably value the republic more than a starving child. I certainly value it more than an uncomfortably hungry child in sugar withdrawal. You want to help starving children and others at mortal risk, take up the slack from the discontinuation of USAID. Try to help Gazans. Nobody will starve in the US.
  4. What kind of monster are you!?!?!?!?!?
  5. Lot of that going around, it seems. Springtime for autocrats and infamy Winter for voters and sense. We're marching at a disaster pace. Dear leader can go and fuck his face.
  6. That's not the modern era of football which began last August. A&M had been a small military school with no women up to that point.
  7. That's why God created kickbacks.
  8. We sucked for a decade before hiring Sarkisian. We've worked our way back up to the top ten after a disastrous start. We've been to the more restricted playoffs two years in a row. We're in the hunt for a playoff spot this year. Our brand new OL has performed very poorly but may be improving. Same goes for our QB. Let's get a new coach? Who? Some dream coach? You sure you're going to improve on the guy who got us here? Crazy talk as far as I'm concerned. We were picked a year early by the idiot sports press. They were wrong in crowning Manning not us. They were wrong in their assessment; we weren't bad because we didn't meet it. It was stupid just like all the other stupid choices they crowded into the top ten. We may make some noise this year because of the parity and our improvement towards the championship contender we will certainly be next year.
  9. Now I won't be able to go to sleep.
  10. My name is Kyoshi, and I am irony-deaf. Hi, Kiyoshi! I flit around Longhorn boards to ridicule their team for losing a game they shouldn't have and only being ranked tenth. How is that irony deaf? I'm a Texas A&M Fighting Texas Aggie from Texas. Where's everybody going? I haven't even gotten to the part about selective memory being a Longhorn trait! And how I'm not insecure about the Aggies being ranked number 3 having never really been tested! I tweak those arrogant sips by calling them mighty when A&M has always been mightier! We're not little brother! They're little brother because we opened our barn door before they opened the door to an actual university! They wish they were us! Come back! Come back.
  11. If you're waiting for Aggies to become cool in any way, you best set up your cryogenic postmortem freezer now.
  12. You got this thread off to an excellent start. I never opened it before because I didn't know how well the subject would be handled. Compliments. Politics started becoming more like sports back around 1980. On election night, I worked at an airport warehouse, some of the other young men were gathered where I was working were talking about the election. One asked who I would vote for. I was conflicted. "Probably Carter." "Carter? Man, he's going to lose!" It was revelatory. It was all about being on the winning side pulling for the winning team. Of course, it became more pronounced over the decades. For GOPS, so many of their voters should sport some kind of jersey. They already have a team hat that they wear like true team supporters everywhere they go. I, too, find myself ambivalent about US teams. I now hate the U!S!A! U!S!A! chant. It sounds like a taunt rather than a cheer. "Fucking ashamed." You nailed it. Ewers wearing that shit bugs me. The subject should not be introduced in any public way in sports. Sadly, again as you note, that ship has sailed.
  13. Maga, Christian head of some church, vehement alleger about the dangers to your children from others, and hostile to anyone not having boy-girl male-female intimate relationships. Oh, he's also a child raper. Over a six-year period. Outrage. I imagine brutal punishment which was not my thing before these dark days. I guess I'm venting fury. Maybe shackle his foot to a chain connected to a tow hitch protruding from an old pick up truck. Rig it to go 10 mph without a driver. Put it on a circular path on a flat desert plain. Let it go and leave him alone to drag and drag and drag. Give it some time. If he survives, to prison with him. If not? He won't be missed. I'll go imprison my rage again. It's not becoming. I'm not a reader of Shakespeare nor do I see many plays of his. The man had wisdom. Thou doth protest too much. In modern English? Every accusation is a confession with this scum. Thank goodness they're in charge.
  14. We never "formally" declared war on anyone in Southeast Asia back in the 60s, so there was no Viet Nam War. Certainly, it is. Just ask any native Louisianan high school coach. Fantastic! The Aggies pondered this regarding Jimbo. Why can't we put him charge of stadium cleaning? His contract stated, according seemingly knowledgeable Aggies, included language defining the job specifically, so A&M couldn't do that. We put Leon Black in charge of maintenance when we hired Lemons to coach basketball. I think McWilliams was also reassigned, but I think he got a pretty good job promoting UT or something. Black's job wasn't humiliating, just sort of amusing.
  15. That's what I expect.
  16. I doubt it will be as interesting. Jeff Bridges, Clint Eastwood, George Kennedy. It was more than just a heist flick. It will be relatively flat as a 2025 American studio movie. I hope I'm wrong.
  17. I felt the same. It's also overwrought with every person involved in command positions breaking into tears. Sure, do it with a few for impact, but, jeez, not everybody in the movie. I particularly hated the non-ending. Chickenshit. Amateur. Too bad because they assembled an outstanding cast.
  18. Sounds like you know more than I do. I did a quick scan this morning and thought the Senate compromise funds SNAP and pays federal workers. I don't know what the status of the thing is in the House.
  19. Thanks. I had no knowledge of that. Still, isn't she talking about a gambit that is working? You kids.
  20. Places still exist where there are rules. Not everywhere is the United States political shambles. Not sure what your point is in entering a pretty specific discussion about a journalism bastion. Why even write about football or any subject? I'm with you on the exasperation in general.
  21. I laughed when the Aggies impaled themselves on their guaranteed contract to Jimbo with no conditions. I thought is was a one off. Now, it makes me sick to think of institutions of higher learning risking 100s of millions of dollars then loosing it. I also don't know how comfortable I would be if I were already worth 10s of millions of dollars taking all that money in failure. Integrity? That still a thing? Maybe I never understood it. It's all a big toilet swirl of fiduciary suicide and greed. I have no idea how to fix it. The schools can't form an illegal trust and they can't even remember why they exist. Crazy fucking world these days.
  22. The donkey also opened the SNAP food supply to people who are suffering. Anything short of total victory is a defeat for Dems. Anything they can claim as victory is victory for the GOP criminal organization. The newspapers quote them when they say so, so it must be true! Such a fatal spiral.
  23. I completely agree. It's bad journalism. However, if the BBC recognized it as such, they should have forced those guys out at the time. Waiting all this time is a terrible look for them as a once respected news organization. They either ignored bad journalism (damaging their credibility which used to be a big deal to news outlets) and waited until forced to take action, or they don't think it's bad journalism and they are abjectly capitulating to POSUS (sic). I have not seen the tape. The fact is that POSUS did incite an insurrection (treason, fuck the letter of the law) and you'd have to doctor it up pretty fiercely to make him look worse, so why do such a useless thing? Either way, the Beeb (a friend of mine who worked there referred to it as such. Kinda catchy.) has shot themselves in the gonads.
  24. I guess I missed the code lesson. Still, I don't think it was intended as ironic nor are people responding to it as though they are. Whatever, my friend.
