  1. He needs to go somewhere and drop the prima donna routine. He's young. He can still correct. There's nothing to be done about it, but all of the attention given to high school footballers leading up to their selection announcement can't generally be a good thing.
  2. As absurd as this sounds, if we keep having success and Saban eventually retires...I could see Sark keeping the coach rehab program going. He's very open and honest about Saban believing in him changing the course of his life. It's genuinely touching when Sark talks about it, and it reflects well on Saban who is generally viewed as more machine than human.
  3. I didn't back in the day. I was in one of the last classes they held the draft lottery. I think my number was around 100. Fortunately, nobody was drafted from that class and South Vietnam fell the next summer. One classmate was in the top ten. He had to take some sort of test. He said one of the questions was whether he would fire at an enemy he knew was wounded. I thought, of course. Turns out that that was not the answer they were looking for.
  4. California is not the homogenized flower children state that some choose to believe. Orange County and the San Fernando Valley are not hippie communes. For that matter, Texas certainly isn't a 100% anything, either.
  5. To be fair, he was likely being turned down by every other deep snapper in the country.
  6. Texas would stick up for them and prevent it. Actually, that may be even more humiliating than getting voted off the island.
  7. That's got to be one of the worst lists to find your name on in the world outside of fatwahs. I see Clinton's name and try to refuse to believe he raped underage girls. I do think it's not likely, but who knows for sure? It is hard to believe that persons who took multiple flights with Epstein were totally unaware of what he was up to. Tolerating it isn't as bad as participating, but it's pretty fucking bad.
  8. Some people just like to write stupid cunt whenever they get the chance.
  9. Yeah, it's not like these guys just showed up on the practive field and started coaching. The biggest reason for our success is Sark's ability to put together teams of coaches and teams of players then build a culture. He took the shit for the losses, he deserves the credit for the wins. I'm sure these excellent line coaches would agree.
  10. I assumed that was a disastrous stream of typos followed by the wrong word. Turns out this never served in the military suburban white college boy was wrong. Perhaps others don't know the meaning: and the waiver: Excellent insult to a soldier wannabe. If everybody else already knows this, then I am the idoit.
  11. Overall conclusion: "College football has been ruined by the tool we joyfully employed in hopes of being better than average." Aggie timelines start at the moment of perceived victimhood.
  12. I have no idea what this means.
  13. It's been a hell of a ride. I'm only now really feeling the thrill of where we are and what the future looks like. The team is in fantastic hands. The also still resemble a cohesive college team of brothers rather than a band or mercenaries. Sark's culture building makes this all so nice. The Aggie implosion springing from their panic of seeing us rise is a delicious cup of warm holiday punch with punch. I love this community. Best wishes to all for a fabulous holiday punctuated by kicking the Huskies asses.
  14. Recall Bjork's ill-advised announcement how, for all practical purposes, coaches would have to come and earn the honor of coaching at Texas A&M University. They believe the shit they say. It's a very special place that anyone who would bother to get to know would immediately want to be part of it. No, Nolen wasn't a red-ass Texags Corps Aggie as they all thought him to be. Nuts. I also wrote about another of their burn outs, the guy who raced around the parking lots and went to LSU where he's been kicked off the team. Aggies talk about him in the same way. They have no accountability for their choice to invite and pay these players and then strut around because they have them on their team. History starts when they become bad Ags. What an implosion. I hope Gundy runs their sorry asses off the field. He's probably the coach they should have paid big bucks to.
  15. Turning heads, no doubt. Making noise. The whole new Aggie coaching staff, all four of them, very impressed.
  16. I wish I could remember who coined Slocum's Razor. It was a genius stroke.
  17. @JesusSweatDuck is a great man. Some flunky Tac officer (acronyms like real armymen!) makes stupid remark about the relative value of different aggies and it becomes a cherished memory to be shared 53 years later when the Ags are feeling down and derided. Advantage Aggies. Absolutely true if your brand stands for raising false expectations and meeting humiliating failure. Everybody reveres the Titanic and Elizabeth Holmes. The below seemed kind of random at first: Then I realize he's lashing out at the Armed Forces who sponsor the bowl. It's not random, but it's profoundly idiotic. On brand. Our losses are the best losses! Also on brand. Slocum's razor. Think how everyone will laugh when they realize the simple truth delivered by Aggie Joe. An unfounded expectation accompanied by a delusion. Thanks, Agly.
  18. So are theirs. From dragging the ground.
  19. Thank goodness we never had to use our back-up quarterback. I think I'll call up ESPN and order them to say mean things about the Aggies.
