  1. Too late. The Texas toxicity is here now. Poison from without forever. You forgot a couple: Odd claim that doing poorly in the first year necessarily leads to nattys! Absolute denial that what you just watched was fucking bad, man. Really, really bad. Ouch. That looks like a nickname that could stick. True. I do think USC had a moment of, "I can't believe we're going to lose to these loudmouth nobody clowns." A&M was already convinced they'd won yet again. Wouldn't a great culture have you bearing down instead spiking the ball before you cross the goal line? Isn't this overblown opinion of yourselves part of what Elko thinks he replaced? Fun times ahead. Good to see the SEC patch still proves you're big time. Nothing says "big time" more than having your conference mates nickname you Texas 8&4. Elko isn't the only entity in over their head. I'm reminded of William telling the parrots that big time coaches were contacting A&M last winter dying to be the one to wake the giant. Their selection committee ends up with Mark Stoops and Mike Elko as the top two. I guess Lane failed the phone interview along with all the other big-timers calling to get in on big time SEC football.
  2. Where's the Twinkies? I had 'em right here. I know you love a good Twinkie with your cerveza. Sir, your bet. Just hold your goddamn horses. Honey, is it under those little chocolate donuts? Sir! Your bet. (Turns to angrily toss chip. Knocks over Corona. Farts. Table clears.)
  3. The bowls I've watched have been really good. I usually turn them on for the fourth quarter. I wonder if taking the top dozen teams out of the mix makes for more even match ups and better games. It's funny that the even match up here was A&M with their builiding blocks for next season against an almost entirely depleted 6-6 USC. Aggies would have murdered a team of USC walk-ons and band members, but the second team? Too salty.
  4. The same. I sorta love repartee, but when the other person opens with idiocy, I give a mild smile and just let it sit out there. Very satisfying. I'm a small person to think so, but it's so very gratifying to win with silence. These are tips from the pros for all you kids out there.
  5. Elko belches at press conference at about the 2:10 mark. Burp. Also says his mind is blown that his secondary doesn't understand zone coverage. We've heard about the players showing up for practices, but was Elko there? Defense is terrible. He will never watch another defense that bad. They got the culture of hard work, accountability, caring about each other and the other stuff none of which were there when he took over. Next is building a football team. I think the Elk is in over his head. I think the defensive staff will be shaken up, but weren't these the best guys Elko could draw when he came aboard?
  6. I find it amusing that guys who are not even in the corps of cadets talk up A&M as a military school. Stolen fake glory.
  7. They spent a few weeks trying to tout that as the most exciting game ever played. Sorta like they wanted Manziel to be considered the greatest of all time player.
  8. Lose four of your last four, it's a disastier. Lose three of your last four, it's a hell of year. There is a lot riding on the Midnight Yawn Bowl against a 6-6 team that's lost all of its players. I'm not sure about the coaches' outrage at a factual statement. Oh, wait, William isn't reporting on the team; he's reporting for the team. Weird statement no matter what. It's culture, understanding stuff, feelin' good. Look at all the injured guys and guys no good teams want coming back in true Aggie fashion! They're bought in. They see the light. Guys who, other than Savior Bussey, couldn't crack the starting line-up on an 8-4 unranked team. Gonna explode sometime around midnight to night. William, 50-something, lives with his mother in College Station where he conducts himself as a 20-something bro, and he finds USC using a star linebacker makes their defense weird? Weird indeed, William. Weird indeed. It should be tough, a real test. We should score lots of points on them. That's what happens when you face a real test. You beat the shit out of them. Maybe it's jet lag.
  9. I know nothing about Harris' recruitment except he was coveted. Were there signs about what was to come? Did Texas pursue him ardently?
  10. I felt shitty that the olds made FB so cluttered and dull (here's my new grandbaby! I ran my ninth 10k, The Geriacstravazana! Yummy pancakes. Here's an article I read that you should read.) that youth fled from the reminders of the general dullness that life has waiting for them. I occasionally go on FB to spread my insufferable bloviations somewhere else to give you guys a break. It's disappointing that so few people write or share anything interesting. I don't care what you read that made you feel blessed to live in Tomball.
  11. Hate white white culture? No, dumbass. They hate you if they even know who you are. I can hate the martial ardor of Japan that led to the Rape of Nanking and Comfort Women and the Bataan Death March. I would have hated the Japanese had I been alive at the time of the war. I could still appreciate Japanese art, ceramics, and their austere aesthetic. If some Japanese radio guy started denying the Japanese army did anything wrong in WW2 and that they were the actual victims, I'd hate that guy. Just like I despise American influencers who promote fear of things that don't exist. In short:
  12. We've got t-shirt fans all over the country and in Mexico if I'm not mistaken. A great many people want to see Texas good because it just feels we should be one of the teams almost always in the running. People wanted Alabama to come back. They're another national name. When we are good, we have people all over the country sporting the emblem. I don't think you see that for many other contenders. I think part of it is the elegance of the Longhorn emblem. Another part is that Texas really isn't tied to a specific region, so it's easy to feel included no matter where you're from. Of course, people will pull for underdogs against us. Once we win an NC (that's natty for all the idiots who've never sniffed one in the audience), some will want to see us taken down a notch: that's all just human nature. The new variable is the horns down gesture. That could catch on. It does appeal to the negative side. On TV, you see (losing) fans from other teams giving the gesture as though it's a death ray gun that will have some sort of profound impact on Longhorn fans. It's weird. I think the Aggies making a big deal about the Big 12 rule regarding hand gestures probably set this up in the SEC. The sips hate it when you do the horns down. They used their toxicity to create a rule against doing it.* The Aggies would be congratulating themselves on having one of their lies work against Texas, but they won't admit it's lie. I don't like the widespread use of "hate" in sports. It was considered a very strong word for most of my life. Maybe that's changed. I always pull against the Aggies except in a few rare cases where they've been an underdog but were fighting hard. Maybe 4 times in my life. I don't hate them. I despise their weirdo culture that paints Texas as evil rather than simply a rival. And their turning sports into a holy war. And their constant lying about the past. Fuck, maybe I do hate them. But nobody else! ETA * We had a receiver named Johnson Davis who scored a touchdown against Tech at Tech. He faced the endzone stands, did their guns up gesture then holstered the gun. That's it. The ref through threw a flag for taunting. We went to the Big 12 because players were not being penalized for doing the horns down. It was about whether or not to respect a school's hand sign. There is no rule specifying the horns down. The Big 12 ruled that no such negative gestures should be made. Fuck the lying Aggies.
  13. I like Herbstreit. He loves college football and seems to back that up with how much he knows. I don't hold grudges against things people say one time so long as their being honest. You can be honest and wrong. I don't get the hate. Klatt is great right now. I suspect he'll say enough things he means over the years to come to make different fan bases hate him...and never forget. Klatt will be the same person. So it is with Herbstreit. I get so bored with the idiots who overpopulate sports commentary. Herbstreit is far better than that as is Klatt. I'll admit that I don't follow this as closely as many of you do. He called us a cesspool. That was low and wrong. However, we sucked at the time. He doesn't hold an opinion when the facts change. Maybe we should try the same thing.
  14. I gotta say, I loved the old school attempt to get off the field without help. Toughness.
  15. Yeah, that would have solved all our problems. The talk about inflation, egg prices, Dems being too snooty, and shit is just the froth on the surface of the cesspool.
  16. Back in the old paradigm, this may have had some weight. No more, I'm sorry to say. There is absolutely no evidence that actual policies and policy results matter much in America. When's the last time you won a point with a MAGA by stating an obvious fact? The active vote and shameful acquiesence of non-voters shouts who the party of the people is. The choice could not have been clearer. Stop blaming the Dems who represent what we wish was true about this country. There is no adjustment to the message or even choice of candidate that can matter much. People don't want anything that reeks of humanity or tolerance or citizen teamwork. The vote and failure to vote prove this. The new paradigm is war. Those who love America and hate everything else versus the rational people. The rational people got slaughtered. I don't see a road that civilizes MAGAs to understand liberal democracy or the importance of unity among similar nations. The traitors are in charge.
  17. It's so desperate. We hate tu, everybody must hate tu! Even all of Texas outside of Asstin. Incompetents can't even get the day right.
  18. Everything they do looks completely joyless. Let's look manly mean when we play music and march. They strive to be the loudest stadium, so their fans always look unhappy and very serious in the effort of making noise. It's very important to be a Texas A&M Aggie.
  19. Why only for "illegal aliens?" Is rape or murder at their hands worse than those by American grade killers and rapists? Is there a rape and murder gap between America and foreign killers and rapists? It's hard to believe, but we are the best at everything. We cannot allow a rape and murder gap! Who am I kidding. Nobody beats America at murder and rape. Nobody! Oh, well.
  20. His meter and alliteration leave much to be desired, but I think we can all agree his onomatopoeia is exquisite.
  21. You assume that we walk the party-line jersey color in lockstep as you do. Every time a Dem is accused of something, you see all of us supporting an investigation and letting law enforcement go where it will. We got rid of a senator for just having an inappropriate picture and a few stories of him groping women's buttocks. You elect a rapist.
