  1. Probably saved a lot of lives by doing that. They can't even build a pile of logs with carnage.
  2. Evidently found the stadium on his own.
  3. Yep. I was thinking it ironic that NIL may have leveled the playing field among top teams and given smaller teams more of a shot at an upset if they acquired a couple of players they wouldn't normally be able to draw. I didn't see that coming, if I'm right. God knows how bad A&M would be doing if they hadn't got two fast receivers.
  4. Elko has the Aggies looking pretty good. He might be looking at Jimbo-money if he keeps it up. Nine or ten wins and the 16-team playoff could put Morbidly Obese Mikey in the money.
  5. Plays like that stab me in the heart for that very reason. I wanted Georgia to lose because I've gotten to where I can't stand Kirby Smart, but to be that receiver? Man!
  6. I couldn't agree more. Often when I see an underdog make it to OT I think they should go for the win as soon as possible. We'll forever have the glorious Dave South call when Baylor converted the two point conversion to beat the Aggies for the first time in forever. I heard it live on the radio.
  7. Arkansas should move to the Big 12 which should change its fucking name which was always stupid anyway.
  8. Obviously, I'm very late to the discussion above. It's a good one and fair. When a woman makes an accusation of rape against a prominent athlete, the results will be terrible no matter which way the truth falls. Either the woman was raped and is now being toasted under public scrutiny (terrible) or the man is falsely accused and will rarely escape the stigma (also terrible). I recall a QB named Sanchez at USC who we wanted and who seemed exemplary in just about every way. He was accused. In that case, I don't think the accusation held up. See? I recall the accusation and am only pretty sure it was invalid. The incident is tied to his name even now by a college football fan (me) who is pretty sure he came out okay. I lean strongly towards the woman's side at the moment of accusation because, if true, she needs support. It's such a betrayal on those occasions when the accusation is false and makes it harder for actual victims. Again, compliments on the dispassionate analysis.
  9. I wonder how much the stupid phrase "settle for a field goal" and commentary stating that going for it is "aggressive" have wormed their way into the subconscious of coaches. You're not "settling" for anything; you're scoring three points. Just watch your team and fans when you kick the ball through the uprights; they celebrate a victory. The earlier in the game it is, the less you know about the value of three points. It seems that as the game goes on, almost always, the investment in those three points pays off very nicely in either providing a margin for victory or putting your opponent in the position of needing to score twice to overtake you. I've also noticed that sports announcers never revisit a decision to be aggressive when it fails. The attempts in the Ga-Bama game, as important as they turned out to be (Bama put Georgia close to their goal line; Georgia squandered a chance to tie and win the game in OT), were never re-addressed.
  10. Bama went for it on fourth and short at midfield and failed, thus flipping the field. Stupid. Georgia went for it on fourth within field goal range and failed. They lost by three. Amusingly stupid. Kick the fucking ball.
  11. You're getting tiresome. If you want to engage read the fucking posts. I. Am. Talking. About. The. Quality. Of. Those. Two. Receivers. Not the Aggie offense in general. Try to get that straight or just go to bed. You're having trouble parsing shit. The receivers were missed by the passer. That is not a statement about the quality of the receivers. Read this a few times. Then sleep on it. Then return and miss the point again. I find myself marginally concerned at the most.
  12. He knows his audience very well. Going 4-0 is a huge achievement that is the envy of the college football world. Has it ever been done before? Has a dog ever bitten a man? This Ivy-leaguer knows historic when he sees it.
  13. They being the Aggies, yes. Those receivers looked fast and often open. Also, recognizing how the football board operates, I'm not predicting shit. I'm wondering about the general opinion of those two guys. Are they the cream of receivers this season in college football? Always.
  14. Yea, I can't tell how good the Aggies are or anyone else for that matter. I agree about MSU. I'd imagine they're wrung out after today's game, and y'all get them at home. It's a wide open year. I think we were picked to be number one a year early because sportswriters are idiots. If Arch has become the monster we've expected, then maybe this will be our year. Congrats on your win, BTW.
  15. I haven't seen the SHSU game, but it sure seems to have changed a lot of minds. Hope y'all are right. A&M looks pretty good. It's a year where it's hard to tell how good anyone is. I know we have a great defense. That's about it. Craver and the Mexican guy for A&M, are they really that unstoppable or is it the competition? So very hard to tell so far. Okay, time for another drink, my friends.
  16. Okay, Houston. What do I do now? We turned the battery off in that tool, so just float out there. Why, Houston? The other astronauts just wanted to lock you out of the spacecraft for awhile so they can sleep without worrying about you accidentally turning off the oxygen, again.
  17. Another insufferable Aggie promotional spot. I'm sure this will net them the universal love and appreciation they so deserve. Understood at last.
  18. The course of the US is set. We're headed for the even shittier shit vortex of fascism. That said, I'll take my small pleasures where I can get them. If I had a lead pipe while standing on the listing deck of a torpedoed ship and the captain of the U-Boat boarded to laugh at us; I'd still smash out his brains whether it saved my ship or not. If I was in a cage and the warden slid on some dogshit and fell into even more, I'd still laugh my ass off. These people like watching pain? They've given me a taste for it as well. On with the leopard show!
  19. Fucking Joe Biden puppeteers ruining everything making President Trump's job of making America great again all the more difficult. Trump will vilify and fire some toady who thought he was Trump's trusted friend. Like a dog, he will be fired. No matter how bad it gets, they're not going to vote Democratic. You've seen the repeated rhetoric. The Dems are an ebil enemy that hates God and America. That delusion is indelible. Say "Democrat" in MAGA country and poof:
  20. Are they out of their fucking minds? The whole thing smells like, "We're kind of a big thing." Rollercoaster. We know the drill.
  21. I think we did the same thing after beating Alabama, didn't we? A Letter of Authenticity, too! All elite programs do this.
