  1. I suspect the big money boys are like short-sighted fans calling for getting rid of a coach just assuming they can get somebody who will have huge success. That's the Aggies. They dump Jimbo and start approaching NFL coaches and top coaches in CFB as William tells the TexAggies that these are real possibilities. Nope. I've compared it to political polls where the public is asked would you vote for the sitting or a candidate from the opposing party. It always leans to the opposing party (or used to). Everybody taking the poll is imagining their perfect candidate. The fun would be if there's fresh blood for reasonable (comparatively) money. I'm uncomfortable about the morality of tying up 100s of millions of dollars on a bet about a coach's success. But the market decides.
  2. A&M may be walking into buzz saw if we keep improving.
  3. Maybe they're all allergic to cat dandruff.
  4. Yea. That's a real roadblock for GOPs and America. Nobody could get elected with that hanging over their head.
  5. A falsely justified war is coming. Maybe internal and external at the same time. Still, the news is encouraging.
  6. Aggies pretty sure of their new place in the world. Pretty good sarcasm. Not sure about the top guy. This guy's here to set 'em straight: Especially all the guys who name their high school instead of A&M when introduced in the pros.
  7. Our most dangerous foreign criminals. Thanks, President Trump for keeping us safe.
  8. I have no interest in defending either one of those fuckwads. The decision to execute the policy was Bush's. The author of the policy and a huge beneficiary was Cheney. Bush being re-elected (hook or crook) was a watershed moment in my viewpoint of the electorate. That was the worst policy since Viet Nam and maybe worse than Viet Nam because there was not even a figleaf of moral right. In Viet Nam, we thought we were saving the world from Communists. Idiotic, but it's at least something. A current parallel would be Stephen Miller and Trump. Damn them both. I doubt we actually disagree about any of this.
  9. Which one would you say was Dick Cheney in this picture?
  10. Helluva chuckle reading that.
  11. Chicken hawk. Exercised every ploy he could to avoid service during Viet Nam. I wouldn't care about that if he wasn't determined to kill as many American soldiers as he could in a similar boondoggle. Slaughtered plenty of Iraq civilians as well. Haliburton man. Haliburton made fortunes in Iraq. That's not to mention the pallets of cash sent to Iraq with no accounting. The "firm" hired to account operated from the mailbox of a residence in San Diego. I say we strap his rotting body to President Poopy Pants until that pustule passes on.
  12. It's truly a stupid game initiated by sportswriter morons. Every time a coach in question appears in public, they're asked about leaving. The coach has to think about his team at the moment and their season. Of course, he evades or even lies. If he says, "I'm only concerned about this season and this team," which is true, that doesn't stop moron parrots asking the same question over and over. Then the moron parrots feel like they have a scoop when the coach, gasp!, actually takes a better job. "He lied!" Fuck you, moron. TexAgs uses SEC Mike for validation. He says nice things about them, so he is clearly a genius brave enough to resist the BOMC. I always remind that Sharp interrupted the ceremony honoring the national champion A&M at Commerce coach to talk up Jimbo and present this phony trophy. Aggie Klass all the way.
  13. Shameless twats.
  14. That's outrageous. I saw the Florida catch but hadn't seen the Georgia catch. Also, isn't a permanent suspension firing someone? RomaVicta, you suck at your job. We're suspending you. When can I come back? I'll be better. I promise! The suspension is permanent. What?
  15. That's all math. If Jimbo is agreeing with me, we're talking about the emotional shift. What is their calculation for the victory for the team who stops the offense and, for all practical purposes, scores three points themselves? The result of that is not necessarily reflected in victory. Houston sprang back to life and still barely lost. Would the analysis conclude that it was wise of Texas to put that game is such jeopardy? The table that coaches used for years about going for two or not has also been flawed. It depends on where you are in the game.
  16. YES!
  17. He's exactly right. Fucker's been reading my posts!
  18. I thought he was wildly popular at USC when he took over after Kiffin was left on the runway. That was Kiffin, wasn't it?
  19. I had no idea that they'd revived Jan. 1 as a spectacular college football day. A million years ago it was so fun following the games to figure out who would win the MNC. ETA: I read years ago that the bowl games would be so much better attended if they were held on one of the team's campuses. The lesser bowls are scams where teams accepting the invitations must guarantee ticket sales. The suggestion was to offer half the tickets in the home stadium to the visiting fans to lessen the home field advantage. The empty stadiums for bowl games makes it feel like they're playing in a mausoleum.
  20. It was pretty clear after the second week that you couldn't tell how good anybody really is. It makes for a fun season. I have little idea how good the Aggies are. You've beaten teams like a ranked team should, but you schedule has turned out to be shitty. A&M has no control over that. It's pretty much the same for most of the top 12 or so. Mississippi State was close to beating Tennessee and us. Vanderbilt is a solid team. LSU sucks. Florida? Who the fuck knows for sure? Georgia? They're winning games like Texas is but against teams supposedly better teams than we've played. It's all a big, who knows? It's pretty fun on a national level. Last week I thought Georgia would eat us. Now? Fuck it. Let's put on the pads and pump up the balls.
  21. Methinks you are irony deaf. You also retreat to another Aggie sounding response proclaiming some wild hypocrisy because you can't understand what I am responding to. I'm guessing your neck veins protrude like penis veins. See your doctor.
  22. My wild obsession this year is 4th and 1 decisions. Florida's decision to go for it instead of kick the FG was, IMHO, another idiotic decision. I'm guessing a few aspects drove the decision: mathematics (a td still beats them) and the notion of being "aggressive." What is not considered is the cost of failure in terms of emotion. Over and over, I've watched the team that stops the 4th down get a huge lift. You give them a victory. I think it changed Georgia's mindset. I think it deflated Florida a little bit. "Analytics" and announcers and coaches seem to consider it a math problem. Does three points really matter against what we may gain? They don't see it as giving the other team an opportunity for a small victory that they would otherwise not have. They also don't know the value of three points until very late in the game. Had Florida made the field goal and their own defense held, a later field goal would make it a two-score game. If Georgia scored a td (as they did), Florida would only have trailed by one point instead of four had they kicked it instead of going for the first. Their path to victory would be far easier. For the emotional part, Florida had the momentum when the decision was made. They felt invincible. Georgia was down. That's the biggest thing, I think, you sacrifice when you go for it and fail. If you go for it and make the first, you still may be forced to kick a field goal. The Houston game a few years back is the perfect example of this. We were killing them. They were ready to lay down. Instead of kicking a field goal, we let them stop us and they roared back. At the time, I thought it was stupid. Unless you're way behind, always take the points. You don't know the value of the points, and you need not give the opportunity to the other team to get a win.
  23. I feel like I'm reading TexAgs. I haven't even given it a thought since the game ended. The uncalled PI on the td pass was egregious. Still not news since we won. Nobody cares. Exactly. As the play happens, the ref has to make a call. Do you expect a ref to just shrug on a play like this? It was close enough that even with video replay one must study it to decide. I don't believe in that fraction of a second a ref calculates all the stuff some here are claiming he did. Incompetence or errors do not constitute conspiracy. I hated sitting near rage addicts at games.
  24. One of my least favorite players ever. Hot dog. He, Jerry Jones, and Barry Switzer made it easy to cease caring about the Cowboys. Then Bud Adams moved the Oilers which allowed me to give up the NFL altogether. If he stays in coaching, only another desperate program will hire him. He won't want the come down.
