  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Another insufferable Aggie promotional spot. I'm sure this will net them the universal love and appreciation they so deserve. Understood at last.
  10. 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!
  11. 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:
  12. Are they out of their fucking minds? The whole thing smells like, "We're kind of a big thing." Rollercoaster. We know the drill.
  13. I think we did the same thing after beating Alabama, didn't we? A Letter of Authenticity, too! All elite programs do this.
  14. So did about 50 million other people.
  15. Is there MAGA propaganda or flags or rallies or anything else where they're, "Yay ICE!"? I'm ignorant, so the question is unprejudiced. I missed the whole rapture hullabaloo. I know MAGA loves cruelty and scorn for Hispanics doing all the hard work around here, but do they cheer the instrument? Thanks for informing my lazy ass.
  16. Is there anyone actually pro-ICE? I don't think they have the unearned stature of the cops or the earned stature of firefighters. I wonder if the right just sorta stays quiet on the subject of masked, armored, heavily armed thugs rounding up people who are now missed in the fields and at the factories. Fucking Idiot World. The north wind feels nice in Johnson City. I think a Trump guy took his two flags down. They were on the gate to a nice piece of land. I wonder if we can get reports on Trump flags as we do about candidate signs prior to elections.
  17. And what were they doing walking around free if you knew where they were, Donald? Oh, how much vomit can the adherents lap up?
  18. Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United State of America!
  19. They thought they'd benefit from the cessation of all the handouts they imagined their hardworking immigrants were getting. Surely no one will detain or terrify your hardworking immigrants away from working hard at low wages and no benefits so you can brag about bottom line. Nope. No transfer of (more) government benefits to you because eliminating imaginary handouts yields no money. Oh, and your labor force is diminished or gone altogether. You bought into the fear and hate of brown immigrants. You voted hate and fear. You delighted in cruelty towards them. Now, dumbass, you wonder why they're not coming around like they used to. You villify people who come here, work hard, and send money to family in horrible places. You ever try that, dickhead? They're largely better people than you. And me for that matter. You didn't make a political or policy decision while deciding your vote. You voted your spittle.
  20. My God, man. Never forget! These men and women risk their lives daily! For you!
  21. Not a quote. I use pictures of some posts so they can't be easily read by Hermano Grande.
