  1. I went over to 247 (I know I know) to look at A&M's list of verbal commitments. Here are their six remaining players above the three-star level: I think Davis, Evans, and Bussey are shaky, but I'm not sure. I suppose I should have included Jernagin as he is the 3-star LB that they love more than suddenly worthless 3-star Tyanthony Smith. Anybody feel like using the list to give a status report? I'm just not as in the know as most of you about the general ocean of recruits.
  2. The parrots are really getting into this mindset over on TexAgs. Some wonder why even recruit high schoolers in "age" of the portal and NIL when you can find whatever you need through the portal. Let players develop somewhere else, then just "hit that portal hard" to get proven guys. And again: That they have picked up a receiver from Old Dominion to replace Ainias Smith doesn't register. They seem to think that players will become good and then follow everyone's natural inclination to be an Aggie. Just gimmee. Yep. A&M's facilitiesfacilitiesfacilities and Aggie network and the bestest fans were just fools gold when Jimbo peddled it. Now a morbidly obese alchemist has come along to change it into real gold with real coaching and real recruiting. When talking about recruiting, nobody factors in the loss of Jimbo in that regard. They seem to think it was all E-Rob whom they all now hate. There's your big time selling point! And look at the proof of how much that matters to all their defensive stars leaving and recruits flipping! These guys know they can't compete for playing time against the absolute studs who will be racing to play for the most famous defensive mind of the day! I must have missed that bullet point in Plan 2024. Too bad, it looks like the only one that they will achieve. Only money could make a player go to tu instead of dear old A&M! We are the richest school in the world, money is no object for A&M! Ahhhh, dissonance! 1 Set us up the bomb? 2 Debils, I tell you! How could one conclude anything else when the top 5 recruiting class Jimbo had verbally committed is disintegrating its way out of the top 20 now that he's gone? 1 + 1 = 2. Duh. The Texas A&M University Fightin' Texas Sour Grapes!
  3. I'm unpersuaded. This reads like the apologists for Bush who pointed to Clinton suspecting wmds as being the same thing as a disastrous policy to invade as we did. No sale. I'm not going to rehash it, but feel free to keep throwing your massive intelligence around and insulting the intelligence of anyone who disagrees. It's a great look.
  4. That young man will never want for fresh corn for the rest of his life. Hi, I'm Dylan Raiola. Eat Nebraska corn. It's good. Nebraska corn. Dylan says, "it's good!"
  5. Well, I hope you feel nice and snug and warm in your odd little tower of knowledge. My poor little auto-lobotomized pea-brain recollects, or "seems" to recollect, I suppose. Who can be sure when lobes are missing? Anyway, I'm pretty sure we had a reasonably successful effort going in Afghanistan finally using special forces in the role they are designed for. Suddenly, the president of the US and his minions start telling lies about Iraq's WMD capabilities and constantly suggesting that Iraq had something to do with 911. So Bush did lie. He also said that the WMDs Iraq had threatened the US. They didn't. The neo-cons stated a purpose about the delightful welcome that our boys and democracy would get after we finished killing people. That was on the surface. After the invasion, pallets of cash were shipped to Iraq with virtually no accounting because a PO Box operation was hired by the GOP administration to track it. (Vanity Fair) Also, sweet deals for buying up Iraqi industries were handed out to the rich GOP faithful. (Atlantic) Cheney's old friends at Haliburton where he had been a board member raked in 100s of millions of dollars. Oh, and we squandered the unity of the world behind us after 9/11 and created more terrorists than we killed. Annnnd, any possible success in Afghanistan was squandered because we pulled the special forces out of that country to attack Iraq from the north where Turkey, one of those gravely threatened by Iraq's WMDs wasn't worried enough support the invastion in any way. I can't imagine anyone other than fucking lobotomized morons not privy to your elevated knowledge believing that maybe things would have been different without neo-cons holding sway, an administration willing to lie to set neo-con wet dreams into action (at least on the surface), and big money wanting to use their GOP puppets to do stealing on a large scale. The Dems opposed the invasion but were too weak and cowardly to risk their seats to say and vote so. Everything would have been exactly the same, I'm sure. Thanks for the convincing argument, my friend.
  6. Rep for remembering the double n in Branndon. We played them back when we had James Brown at QB. It was in Austin. Branndon was trying to bring the Aggies back and he took off running on third or fourth and long. He ran out of bounds on the wrong side of the stick on the Texas side of the field. Brown stepped up and gave him shit about it. Quite beautiful. I loved James Brown.
  7. This is going to be quite a shock to the star-fuckers at TexAgs. They've dipped pretty quickly into the hidden gems/watch the tape bag. I know everybody around here is going with Plan 2024 and expecting that sweet Aggie natty run, but I'm having some doubts. Mark it down. Book it. Calling my shot. No natty for Aggie next year.
  8. Hey, he fucked up the A&M football team that's actually done something's homecoming: He's got to be great!
  9. We're not weird! Only the weird would see this as anything other than evidence you are weird. The t-sips told you I was weird. Nobody thinks I'm weird. If people would just get to know me, they'd know I'm just different and not weird at all. Call me! We can do really fun things that aren't weird at all! I'll introduce you to my friends that are like in the Army!
  10. I assumed the Gore remark was sarcastic. He was neither a neo-con nor an idiot.
  11. Exactly. You can hardly say their attempt to at least subvert representative democracy is not without risk. The GOP's criminal organization modus operandi is a unified effort. They are without decency, honor, honesty, or empathy.
  12. They'd be spineless if they were refusing to make a stand that they know they should make. Also, as you well know, priniciples need not be virtuous or even good. Their guiding principles are demonstrated just about every day. The status of their spines regarding Trump is indeed weak to non-existent. However, they've been part of a much more subtle and insidious brand of what has become known as Trumpism for decades. It takes spine to want to subvert the democratic government of your own country. If self-interest and will to power at all costs form the foundation of your guiding principles, then your spine and values are aligned. They are boldly taking this country in broad daylight. I wish they were spineless and aimless, but they're not.
  13. You are correct. I confused my Tigers. From Good Bull Hunting's Ten most controversial calls:
  14. Actually, their expression is they were outscored. Never lose.
  15. Why would anyone want to do that?
  16. A medium size movie he was in called the The Driver was pretty tight.
  17. Thanks for posting that sequence from Harlem Nights. I thought maybe I'd been wrong about the movie, but I was not. Terrible.
  18. They're sure the ref screwed them on a horse collar non-call late in the LSU game. They documented it in their catalogue of games they lost but didn't actually lose.
  19. In my shitty apartment, we use HD webcams and have neat backgrounds. Our medium close-ups match and are comped perfectly.
  20. If they spent $25 each on production values and learned the simple art of setting up a TV camera shot, they may go a long way. I've never watched more than a few moments because I feel like I've accidentally walked into an aging 3 bedroom apartment occupied by agoraphobic slobs who only communicate to each other via Zoom from their messy bedrooms. It's depressing.
