  1. So, they won't vote actively against fascism? They'll stick with their team that seeks fascism just not this one guy. Yay! We win another narrow election victory against overt fascist, racist underminers of the republic. Hooray! This plague is rolling right along no matter what happens in the presidential election. All this shit has become normalized in that it's not opposed or dismissed out of hand by a large portion of the electorate: Banning books Painting homosexuals as de facto threats to children Denying the science of defeating illness or anticipating climate cataclysm Assuming non-GOPs are whatever they think socialists are bent on destroying dear old America Opposing tolerance (simple fucking tolerance!) of fellow citizens known as woke-ism Refusing to believe any fact that challenges their loyalty Siding with Russia's imperial crime-against-humanity slaughter in Ukraine All of that is just off the top of my head. All of that was laughable pre-Reagan/Rush. None of that will evaporate with the election of Joe Biden. It's the electorate.
  2. If I were president, I'd have those drum majors precede me at every official event.
  3. They are unique in the worst ways. We know what those ways are. It's particularly arrogant of them to think only they have traditions or an affinity for their school as a special place. Every school has that stuff. Participation at those schools is optional thus more genuine. Among the ways they're unique in the worst way is their absolute resistance to any change or any self-reflection. The worst way they are unique is in their belief that they are good fighting evil with Texas as the Great Satan. Everybody else has rivalries. They have jihads. Sickos.
  4. So, what will it be for Deuce? Good riddance to that guy. We only want players that love A&M. We'll hit the portal hard for somebody better. He's a great kid, Ag through and through. tu and E-Rob were quietly, sinisterly working behind the scenes, but Deuce realized that being an Aggie forever is better than anything in the world. Hope he gets that ring!
  5. You gotta figure they'll be good at analyzing. The Elk puts a lot of value on analysis. You don't think Nick Saban analyzes things? The Elk knows how to analyze.
  6. The look of a man who two years in a row thought it was going to be a natty run. Now contemplating the hemorraghing vessel A&M football has become and the competence of their new coach from Duke. "You just don't know Mike Elko." That's kind of the problem, William. The Elk does not emanate the electrity one would hope for to rejuvenate the crew and right the ship. "I kinda think I know why we're slowing and taking on water." Yep, he was your first choice. No DC yet? "Mike Elko is deciding who his first four choices will be." Key data point? Who hasn't said no already. Next will come lowering expectations. "I think finishing 8-4 will show the kind of improvement we're hoping for. The Elk has this heading in the right direction." Never mind the soft schedule next year. Recruiting? "The important thing is to get the guys you want, and that's what the Elk is doing. He doesn't pay attention to star rating; he's looking for real players. Watch. The. Tape. Record? The inevitable, "we lost 3 of those games by a total of 13 points." That is the face of, "what happened?"
  7. Frankly, it's refreshing to be reminded that this isn't the fucking NFL. Some players choose places based on feeling. Some will stay for the same reason. Sark (surely others as well) is not neglecting the things that drew players in the past. I'm an idiot about NIL. I don't think the way it was launched was well-conceived if it was even considered with any depth at all. I am optimistic that the unbelievable flood of portal athletes will invite market forces to drive down the monetary incentives causing so many players to jump. They're not all going to get the big money that a QB or elite position player will get. The Aggies, who understand neither NIL nor what "hitting the portal hard" means, are about to be taught (their decision-makers, all Ags, surely will not actually learn) and serve as an example of the value of keeping both an attractive culture and a well-managed war chest. They went all in on paying players (Aggies: we lead everybody in clever use of NIL. Fisher: we didn't pay anyone NIL). Their locker room became a vat of toxic waste the likes of which have not been seen since Robocop. There is not enough money to pay huge NIL to everybody on the team. @closetojumping has documented the money difficulties that even a program with foresight brains are facing. Their brilliant Plan 2024 pivots on keeping the talent together. They're evidently not enviably rich enough to pony up on the NIL side. They clearly don't have much going on to keep players there otherwise. Why would anybody stay? I'm guessing Anderson likes his situation and world there. It won't hurt his NFL chances. He won't have to spend his last year in college in a strange place. He could change his mind, but I like that just maybe an elite player feels like he belongs to the school. Having the gravitational pull of a player thinking, "I like it here," is important for team cohesion. It's also good business because you likely won't have to pay as much to keep players on campus. This did not start off as such a long post. Certificates will be presented to anyone who completes the narrative and passes the knowledge assessment.
  8. Aggies! Whoop! Plan 2024! Plan 2024! Gotta turn the carrier! Here's your oar! AAAAyyyyyyyy. WHOOOP!
  9. They only have about five coaches on staff. It's not like it's easy to find someone who can take the news of your decommitment. The ones that are there are probably dodging these disastrous announcements of portaling and decommitting like a grifter eluding subpoenas.
  10. I thought you guys were my friends. Gasp! Beware of t.....u.....augh. ETA It's the action not the species, my friends.
  11. Does UT maintain a private jet? Seems extravagant to me. Nouveau riche.
  12. Just put that green bean in the sanitary high-quality chocolate fountain, and your world will change! You know where you'll find me!
  13. Elite schools don't worry about whether somebody else considers them elite. It's similar to concerning yourself with whether or not another team considers you to be their biggest rival. In short, it's pathetic. Seems like you answered your own question there, Sport. Oh, and it's 12-1, Sport. 1 A dream year for you losers. 2 It would be so good for you if you weren't where you are and have been since Hitler could be attributed to luck, Sport. So, we'll be exposed if we lose to Penix. If not, we'll be exposed if we lose the fucking national championship game. I'm sure the world will congratulate you, Sport, and all your little friends for recognizing the hollow shell Texas is if they don't finish number one in the country (natty to your dumb ass). You're all over this motherfucker.
  14. ABC. I didn't watch the video. I was already too triggered.
  15. There were already holes in the wall. Windows.
  16. Because they'd get shot by these same cops. That's why those dickheads applied for the job. Bullying.
