  1. I can't beieve the guys covering this game can't stop talking about tu. No mention of us.
  2. They're also beginning to think us losing against Washington will deflate everything we're doing. Should we lose, they'll crow that we're a paper tiger. The usual nobody will listen.
  3. I assume the theme color at purity balls is blue.
  4. Even our second team guys are coming back! Momentum! I'm on the edge of my seat worried about their PWOs' decisions!
  5. Represent a lot of presidents accused of leading an insurrection, have you?* *Couldn't resist the snarky tone. Struck my ear as funny.
  6. Which Aggies see as vindication somehow. We got rid of him first, and now LSU has proven we were righteous and manly in our decision! Respect our decision. They act like Harris just showed up on campus like any would-be Katy insurance salesman would. Then he failed Fish Camp and got in lots of trouble, so the Aggies had to let him go. You idiots pursued him. Paid him. Gloated that he enrolled. He was part of your greatest achievement since 1998 maybe all the way back to 1939. The 2022 [choir angels hit note] greatest class ever.
  7. I just saw the story on this in my Washington Post feed. I'm outraged. It's become more common as this shit gets treated as business as usual. Thanks for your interpretation, by the way. Always appreciated. The sequence of my responses - I read the headline that the SC wouldn't speed this up. Motherfuckers are trying to help him. After reading legal commentary on here, I think it's part anti-republic bias and hidebound determination to stick to procedures when you don't have to. - I note the date of the decision. Friday before Christmas weekend. Outrage. This is a political move. Am I to believe that this little bomb was dropped on the universally chosen day for releasing shameful news due to normal procedure? What a coincidence! Amazeballs. - Okay, I read most of the article. Smith makes the argument about the unique nature and implications of this prosecution. You know, petty shit like a threat to the republic which, if proven to exist (watching it on TV isn't really persuasive at all because that evidence needs to pass through the intestine of proceedings to be acknowledged. Of course!) I see no reason not to have the Supreme Court deal immediately with it's part in checks and balances. - I read the arguments of Trump's crack legal team: 1 It's too important not to be expedited. This isn't to put the pressure of rushing on the defense. A judge has determined the trial date and the defense has that time no matter this ruling. (I'm not a lawyer. I do, however, have something of a brain.) 2 This doesn't invite comment from the highest court? If this were a serious assertion, how could one not comment that it has gravity? If the court does not take it seriously, they should state that as well. I think the silence is calculated not for neutrality but to support the Trump teams claim by not laughing it out of the court. That's not legal procedure? The date of release. The failure to opine are political moves. Fuck petty procedure so long as it doesn't damage a defendant's right to a fair trial. 3 No shit there's compelling inference of partisan motivation. Were Trump's guys giving big irony winks to the slime the GOP has put on the bench? I laughed out loud. There is no doubt of an abundance of partisan motivation in the whole procedure. It's just not Smith. Maybe the district court doesn't take a long recess for the holidays. Maybe they tend to the business of the republic. Rule by the first week in January. The SC doesn't put the decision about hearing the case through the usual cumbersome process. Get right down to it. rule by the first week in February. Fuck, rule by the third week in January. How is that crazy? Usual procedures? Fuck that. I don't see how the defense is damaged by this. Worrisome precedent? Sure, every president that tries to overthrow the government will be able to use this or be subject to it. So? We expecting a lot of this sort of thing? The GOP and their appointees to various places in government including federal court seem bent on proving that government doesn't work as it is. Secretaries undermine their agencies. Congress ceases to be about policy and obstructionism becomes a strangely tolerated policy. Now we have outright misuse of House Committees. Let's see, that's two branches. Oh yea, the judiciary. They contentedly give the appearance that everything is slow and maybe you won't get justice. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. As the great Congressman Adam Schiff said in his speech in the first impeachment trial: “Well, let me tell you something,” Mr. Schiff went on, his forefinger jabbing the air for emphasis. “If right doesn’t matter, if right doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter how good the Constitution is. It doesn’t matter how brilliant the framers were. Doesn’t matter how good or bad our advocacy in this trial is.” If “right doesn’t matter,” he concluded, “we’re lost.”
  8. [This descent into the dull black recesses of Aggie paranoia isn't over yet. Beware!] EBIL! This is a concise representation of the Aggie Honor Code about lying.
  9. tu is using LSU as a front as they plot to bring us down. We warned the SEC!
  10. Yea, I noticed the usual failure to grasp a metaphor about the Rubicon, as well. I suppose expecting them to is asking a lot of intellectuals trying to grow a pear.
  11. The Aggies should by a box of these for such occasions: A small box, of course. ETA: Lemme run that through the Rosetta Stone™ TexAgs Translation Machine Dealyn is an Aggie through and through. It's another head-to-head win over tu.
  12. Mr. President, sir, these tears are out of gratitude for all you've done for this country. Pardon the hair on my powerful, manly arms. I bring a message from Ivanka, sir. She says she is at last ready and will meet you in that blue barrel. She knows it's kind of kinky, sir, but she says that you will see why when you touch her silky skin.
  13. I agree with much of this. Trump is extraordinarily suited to revving that engine up. I have trouble knowing who could replace him at that level. I think that's perhaps a failure of my imagination than much of an indicator that no person (to the degree the orange malignancy is a person) can come close. The hate engine is permanent. The hate inclination has always been there. Who knows? I believe it goes back to having to believe persons of color are inferior in order to justify brutally enslaving your fellow man. The engine was carefully constructed by cynical men looking for gain at almost any cost. We've now seen a villain running it who has dropped the almost part. He's become something of a god to many. What happens when he is gone? He has shown the way. He's removed many obstacles by proving many of them rely on some shred of decency, integrity, or patriotism. He's generated interest and hope among the worst people in America. The field of those who will attempt absolute power has grown. That I don't know their names doesn't matter, IMHO. I've written before that I think it will take another outsider to replace him. This isn't about politics. In fact, it's actively anti-politics, so politicians need not apply. But they're out there. I think RFK Jr. is in a strong position to take the lead. I don't think he is as villainous as Trump, but he's a fucking loon who shouldn't even be in the conversation...just like Donald Trump. Again, it's the electorate that will keep the hope hate alive. Somebody will assume the reins again.
  14. I know it. You know it. The American people know it, but it's so strange that nobody over there says anything about players not signing because Jimbo is gone. He was a disaster and all that, but a shit load of players are bailing. I believe their agginess makes them really believe that players just learned how great aggihood is and that's why they were coming. It's at the root of all their dismal executive decisions as well. Again, I know we all know it, but it's just hard not to say it out loud every once in awhile.
  15. Trump has become the present embodiment of a feeling carefully cultivated and controlled by the GOP/Right. Trump didn't do anything more than seize control of that feeling. He didn't create it. I've called it the hate engine. The engine will remain when he goes. No one may run the engine so openly, maliciously, and traitorously has he does, but the engine is likely forever.
  16. I wonder if Bisontis has been practicing with the team. No matter how bad he is, he's a starter for them. Can you imagine the talent that's backing him up?
  17. Do we even have that choice? I'm with SimkinsMan on this one: Sark created the culture that has taken root. Look at Worthy's transformation into a team guy who plays hurt and never gives up. If Sark wants him, I'm sure he will have done due dilligence. The guy is a fabulous talent. I hope he meets Sark's standard.
  18. What is he, 16? Terrifying. Welcome!
