  1. Hitting. The. Portal. Hard. Actually, had A&M landed a few highly touted guys, I'd be inclined to think that they may be hitting on some decent overlooked players from the Missouri Valley Conference. As it is, it looks like they're being forced to settle. T&P
  2. Did you hear? An Aggie picked the largest booger in history: 15 pounds. Sadly, his head collapsed before he could eat it.
  3. Speculation and arguing about draft ratings not going away.
  4. I've got to say that I like the quality of comment you get from the Florida board. I've been told it's a solid university. It's reflected in their message board. I look forward having them around. If any Gators are lurking and reading this, you'll find that smart and funny are always welcome here. ETA: The quip about Crabtree being the only guy Blake Gideon has ever put in the NFL was stellar. Stupid and dickheaded find their way here, too. And much surliness.
  5. You could have left a few things out so that I could add something, motherfucker. I'm reduced to "ditto." I've started out optimistic with each new coach hire. It's sort of like most times a president you didn't vote for gets elected; you are hoping he does well for the country. Finally, someone justifies my blind optimism. I hope the pessimists can abandon their stances and get aboard rather than wanting to be right more than wanting to have fun. I was wrong two times. I don't care. I still have trouble getting my head around the situation. We are in the playoff ranked #3 with a real shot of winning it all. Damn! Again, ditto to @victory88 on everything else related to football. Are we back? I don't know. All I do know is, Hook 'Em!
  6. Always a powerful argument. Also, a statement which you follow with dreams of dirty bombs being smuggled into Israel. My observations and opinions are based on things that are clearly obvious right now. Israel has overwhelming advantage over entities like Hamas. Israel is not on the verge or near the verge of being destroyed. Your last paragraph is emotional drivel speculating about me and others. I'm not the only "not thinking" about what he writes. Have a good weekend.
  7. If that's why, these guys may have set a new low in sportswriter idiocy. For honesty's sake, they should say they're rating players on their potential to play in the NFL. They're not rating them as college players. Plenty of great college players don't make it in the NFL. It doesn't diminish their performance as collegians. So, they are saying their own initial judgment about a player is swayed because Texas chose the player? "We were idiots to rate this guy so high. Texas taking him proves we're idiots. Thank you Texas and the NFL!" Fuck the NFL and focussing on it in a college football discussion. College football turning in to the NFL fast enough.
  8. @SydneyCarton Missing pronoun. Actually poored is from Middle English. An odd form both transitive and intransitive. Ain farmē̆r pourede aſ ain idioÞ until hæ becamæ starvede. Hæ haede nōn-ọ̄ther golede for coacheſ. An Aggie foolishly poored [away his funds on facilities]. He had no more money for coaches. I thought everybody knew this. Ich am fuī̆ple ophe shiÞ
  9. What got them was what they say characterizes us: arrogance. They have been telling themselves since they joined the SEC that they are now elite. Unsurpassed facilities (had y'all heard about those?) and all the money spent on the new stadium and the Hall of Tampons Champions was like buying an Oscars dress before ever getting a role in a movie. They beat Alabama their first year and assumed that put them at Alabama's level. Still, though they were sure they were elite, they needed to find a coach to "return" them to their destiny. Jimbo was it. He knows how to win a national championship. A&M is now the greatest school in the country scaring the fuck out of everyone. Their walk-on part in an indy film is about to become the movie's lead. Think of Citizen Kane who poored money after money into his wife's opera career. Teachers, facilities, costumes, supporting cast, bookings in the great stadiums. All a shocking flop. Still, they couldn't let go of their arrogantly absurd self-opinion. No more sweet deals like for Jimbo, coaches would have to earn the right to date this movie star. They are not a B-Movie operation even though all they produce are B movies. Even so, the biggest stars and directors will naturally want to work with them. They hold a casting call. Nobody comes.
  10. They've got a plan for momentum. First, you get just the right look for your front man. Neat. Dignified. Charismatic. Guy's a fucking media magnet radiating electricity and winning hearts and minds. Check! Then you have a keen strategy for creating momentum. This can be done by the pathetic plan to announce the names of Aggie players planning to stay. They're not silly. They're announcements to the world that it's news when a player decides not to hit the portal instead of the other way around. The momentum (whatever these idiots think momentum is) builds from keeping enough guys to field a team in the bowl game. That kind of momentum leads to momentum which is very good for momentum. Check! Now you get to count it a momentum propelling event when you win the recruiting battle for players already on your team. It's infectious momentum. Infection will spread far and wide.
  11. What is this imbecile talking about? A&M players didn't know about the portal or that they could use it to follow a coach? He goes on to say that it's a "subtle way of giving them a blueprint." Next he'll send a subtle code explaining how to raise a toilet seat. That word! Stop using that word! Players announcing that A&M is where they will stay does not generate excitement of a sense serial success. If anything, it shows that leaving A&M is something all the players are considering and the call is very close.
  12. I suppose they could stop listening to Israeli assurances about safe areas because the Israelis bomb those place, too. As I wrote above, I'm only just rejoining this thread and have only read this page. Maybe that explains my befuddlement with your question, @InkaUtexas. Have you suggested something in this regard on earlier pages? The Palestinian civilians seem helpless and increasingly diminished by hunger, violence, homelessness, and grief to me. Seeing the photo above illustrating what kind of medical procedures are going on without anesthetic is an absolute outrage to me. As president, I would inform Israel that we are going to fly into Gazan airspace and conduct air drops to hospitals and refugee clusters. No matter their answer, those airdrops would procede. If the military brass could assure that Americans could land on the coast to truck in supplies with only slight risk of attack by Hamas, I'd quite possibly inform Israel that we are going to do that. And they need to stay clear of any risk of accidentally firing upon our people. The consequences of Israeli interference with efforts to restore some level of civilization to Gaza would be a drastic change in our relationship. Again, I don't want my name or my country's reputation attached to Israel's slaughter campaign.
  13. The below will be the engine that pulls the chain that takes the rollercoaster car to the first and highest peak of expectation. Sure you do. You only lost depth to the portal last year and this year. This year throw in some key starters portaling out or bolting for the NFL. Elko's a great, no-BS coach! We have all the talent in place for a run. It was just the lack of a great coach. We are set! No concern that Elko so far seems to have about zero appeal to players already at A&M or leaning to committing to A&M. No concern about the iffy coaching staff. Only certainty in the destiny of the Fightin' Texas Aggies from Texas! Elko is about to experience hell and failure in a very public way. At least he'll get the money.
  14. Coach Elk wore his beautiful suit on a visit to a really good second string player for Old Dominion. Melk got animated talking about how he could have had JImbo's new wife. The Elk struggled to his feet and kept twisting and turning to face the different family members in the room. They fled left and right at each twist the Elk made as though he were waving a loaded gun. Granny yells, "That button, motherfucker! Either unload it or switch on the safety!" A long wet fart seemed to relieve some of the tension on the button. The Elk!
  15. Consideration is a great thing. Still, if the answer is that what you are doing is in the best interests of the country, would you deprive your country of benefit just because a bunch of dickheads are glad about it? I truly don't think so.
  16. That is a stellar collection of Hook 'Em Horns. I'm actually moved. As for the news about this commit and this class and this team and my man parts (I finally stoop to this)
  17. Two. Games. I don't give a shit about having a tiresome argument about this. He was accurate in high school. He hit some nice passes in the games this season. Rag on him all you want. Maybe he will be bad. My point was and remains that evaluation on such narrow evidence is likely to be no more accurate than you imagine his passing to be.
