  1. Olin has begun writing football stories. You can almost feel the fresh autumnal breezes of mid-September in College Station. Speak muse. Show me the color. 1. So true, Olin. Thanks for providing one for me. 2. Syllogistic reasoning. All persons need a purpose. Le'Veon Moss is a person. Moss needs (and has!) a purpose. Olin, you impress. We seem to have solidly locked into a theme here. I hope you're not being too subtle, Olin. Only three mentions of the word and one reference to it in four sentences. But no color. Lay it on me, man! I don't know if you presume Moss' other purpose is poor grammar or if you have let us down apostrophe- and verb-noun-agreementwise. Running through faces. OK, it's sorta fresh but a little weird sounding. I'll give it a 7.5. Fuck! It's awesome and somehow colorful! Powerful stuff. I'm embarrassed I didn't appreciate it enough, O. I'm also not sure that the quote, immortal as it is, leads to the thing about delivering and taking hits. Whither syllogism? Some people deliver more hits than they take. Le'Veon runs through faces. Le'Veon delivers more... But it is awesome although I'm unsure about the color. His thoughts were conveyed in spite of the poor grammar which you repeat here. (The sentence doesn't need the "too" either, also.) At this point, in my first read of the piece, I still didn't know what you meant by color. Then it was, "Oh, Le'Veon (compliments on getting the apostrophe correct in Mr. Awesome Quote Guy's name) cussed here. Only then did I get the brilliance of the first letters in your unpunctuated parentheticals: He must have said through motherfuckers' faces. I'm guessing he hit the apostrophe on the nose (get it, Olin?) and matched verb and noun. I have no doubt that the dozen Aggies who broke your code agree with your awesomeness appraisal. Then, this awesome sentence: Moss attacks offenses like he approaches defenses — unrelenting, unafraid and unapologetic. In what way does he attack offenses? I thought he attacked defenders' motherfuckin' faces not, presumably on tippy toe, approached those faces. Unrelenting? Check Unafraid? Sure, check, I guess. He's unafraid of offenses and defenses. Rare in a football player. Unapologetic? Huh? I'm not sorry for being unrelenting and unafraid when I attack offenses and approach defenses. Man, you were doing syllogisms just a few paragraphs up! Pull yourself together. I skipped to the end. Olin is a closer. But first, What is it with Aggies and chips on shoulders? Okay, bring it home, Olin.
  2. Unless it's to abandon the Kurds (again).
  3. The unjustified arrogance of that ad so puts the Aggie mentality into focus. "We're already great. You just haven't noticed enough to be filled with awe and fear." I think most coaches would have vetoed that, but maybe that's just impossible with a cult.
  4. Minions? The Shah was our minion after we overthrew an elected government in Iran. Saddam Hussein was our minion in the war against Iraq. We directly trained our minions to be death squads in Latin America at the infamous School of the Americas. We propped up dictators all over our hemisphere and beyond. We won't deter Israel from the hideous slaughter campaign in Gaza. It's maybe worse than Russia's in Ukraine. We bomb the fuck out of countries with bad comportment. We're not that discriminating on who we kill or the effectiveness of those campaigns. That's bullying with superior technology. What's our comportment score? By your definition, we should be among the axis of evil created for the naive imaginations of Americans who are sure we're just the greatest. Calling somebody bad is not the foundation of sane war policy. It's interests that matter. Our interests. Not some idiotic vision of a showdown in the dusty street where divine combat dictates that the righteous win. It's bloody and expensive to cling to fairy tales.
  5. It's the Elko Dance. It's over. The sleeping giant is sitting up and yawning. The sun rises. The swell of emotion over the 2026 class should, for some reason, really get the 2025 rollercoaster cranked up with every seat full.
  6. Well aren't you the yankee doodle dandee!
  7. We get a five-star and we're bragging our heads off because we're stupid sips. Anybody heard any bragging? Also from William: They're turning heads, opening eyes, sending shockwaves! Everybody is talking about the Aggies!
  8. The rhetorical word like vile was the part of your post that sounded of propaganda. I don't dismiss all of your reasoning. Israel is justified if they truly believe there is a threat of nuclear attack. It's strange and truly an indictment of mainstream cable news that one must go to the Daily Show for excellent context on the veracity of Israel on this subject: Israel has cried wolf as have we. My question for foreign policy decisions is, how does this serve the long term interests of the United States? That's a value question. What does this cost in blood, money, and future relations? Is there a principle involved that we stand for and will sacrifice for? Something like defending liberty and self-determination. I guess it boils down to pragmatism.
  9. I just got it. Recruit top flight players! I bet William will be impressed!
  10. Thanks for responding to the original questions. I believe the "it's propaganda" response to your original post had much to do with characterizing Iran as a vile (did you say evil, too? Not sure.) country largely based on the way they wage war against Israel through proxy attacks on civilians. By your definition, as I understand it, Israel is at least equally vile in its own campaign for decades against civilians in the illegally settled areas and occupied areas. The campaign in Gaza with still gets the fig leaf of the awful October 7 attack and is actually called a war by our news media. Gaza is being systematically leveled and it's people bombed, forced to live in the open, and starved. Calling one side evil and guilty of bad things is indeed how Americans are roused for wars we have no business waging. Hitler is always invoked. The liberation of France is always invoked. We're liberators not invaders! Inside every Gook is an American trying to break out. That was all used to roll us into Iraq which is one of the worst policy decisions of my memory. A part of your reasoning was simplistic labeling. It reflects the odd American assumption that when we call somebody a Great Satan, we're invariably correct. ETA: I see my slowness writing puts me in third place. Y'all had visual aids, too! Nicely done.
  11. The Russian asset running the country is a dishonest sociopath without a scintilla of concern about anyone but himself. Every breath he takes is one too many. I am really trying to separate that loathsome person from my opinion of this decision to use this specialized ordnance on unique targets. I'm accustomed to things that benefit my country being done for atrocious reasons. What are the repercussions? Is it true that the Arab countries will not react much to this attack on the Persian one? What is their stance at this moment? I really don't know. Forty years ago, I would have expected them all to be in states of fury. Is Iran the only state or entity that will move against us? What are their capabilities? They must be underground other than the threat of their submarines to the USN. If this truly disrupts Iran's verified attempt to build a bomb (all speculation at this point, I know), why would this be a bad policy? Possible answers: We're unilaterally attacking another country; Our actions may not have even been necessary; We've just had our toe pulled into Israeli plans to further make the MidEast its defacto empire. I'm keeping my mind open. My nose tells me there are foul odors about.
  12. Neo-Con Artists Neo- Con Men
  13. It will be a big beautiful postwar development. Even better than Gaza. Iranians will all have beautiful jobs at the hotels and restaurants and amusement parks. They'll all wear replicas of Hammurabi's coat.
  14. Poor cannonball form costs Lanning Richard Wesley. Cute video is where it's at with the young people. Kids are all on the Tik Tok flashing moves. Or just trotting.
  15. The ones I submitted were. Busty park rangers showing up while I was skinnydipping. Periscope up. I loved the outdoors.
  16. In the land of the midget, the midget remains a midget.
  17. There's a profound conclusion to this: Not only is Howell guessing. He digs deeper. He's a reporter, afterall. He hears that Turntine is keeping people guessing. That's a whole higher level of sports reporting.
  18. That's what Lake Bryan can do to your skin.
  19. Well, now we know why they'll have the number one class without laying out any big NIL money. Elko relates to today's youth.
  20. All of their lore is based on self-agrandizing lies that do not hold up under the mildest of scrutiny. They generate random fictions over there on a daily basis. On idiot speculates and all the parrots repeat it and respond to it as though it is gospel. Just look at their phony fan letters.
  21. Workers in corner offices who get six figure bonuses for getting more work than they pay for from the people who actually do the work. Holidays?
