  1. I love this conflict between the optimists and the realists: It reminds me of a joke I heard long ago. A guy falls out of a tall building's window. Another happens to see him passing swiftly downward. "What's it like?" "So far, so good. Feels like flying!" Or like you're in control of your own destiny.
  2. Night games! Road games! No SEC road game until November! t.u. is just lucking their way through this whole thing! I suppose merit is what puts an 8-3 team in the position to make the CCG and CFP. I suppose the Aggies will get a sympathy top 25 ranking this week, but they shouldn't. What's this? Your TexAgs bros say A&M has the 7th most talented roster in the USA. Hmmm, which is the best spin? We're 8-3 with only two straight SEC losses; the last one was really close! With luck, we'll even be ranked! We're playing for SEC Championship late in the season! They're close to the program, too. The tu players are shitting themselves for fear of night and Kyle. No you're not. Nobody really cares much about A&M. This guy says it well: Took me a while to figure that out. It's evidently the mark of a very important person to be envied by all. Can you imagine boasting about that? Who wouldn't? We all had such high hopes for the elite staff Elko put together and the monsters of the MAC and Missouri Valley that he got out of the portal. Pay attention to this guy. He has one of them Us: TRAITOR! Things are right on track: That's right. We're not some fluke 8-3 team clinging to a top 25 ranking! We're big time! We're a real program! Did you see what we did to LSU? To the seniors from Bowling Green? Back off, tough guy. As always. Very important:
  3. But they stood atop the SEC standings in control of their own destiny! They're a real program! Defeating 4-6 Auburn would have convinced them that they were the team of destiny for the SEC championship. Now? The team of dysentary.
  4. Well, our first SEC season is almost over. How many guys have we lost in the grind? How battered down are we after going up against SEC teams week after week? How pathetic has our OL and run game looked these last two weeks? No. Don't tell me. It's just too sad.
  5. Thank you for helping me not think about that.
  6. Nobody cares what their team does after the Super Bowl Victory parade. They won the Superbowl! We're winners! I was concerned about college football becoming the NFL. What an idiot. The whole country has become the NFL.
  7. Past tense. They were hungry. I've been studying Spanish on my own. Gratifying. I also ran it through google translate to be sure. ETA It occurs to me that Spanish may be useful in our emerging banana republic. Caudillo Trump.
  8. Well, you know, they're a real program. Kind of a big deal. You've got facilities. Hoo boy, has A&M got facilities! And you going to keep the boys off of the farm once they've seen a game at Kyle? A&M doesn't need a QB this year anyway. They've got 'em stacked.
  9. He and William are confident that A&M did perfectly well with QB recruiting. Now seeking non-highly rated QBs because ratings are not really that important. Elko and crew are evaluating. Thoroughly. See Brauny for more copium.
  10. They ate 'em all. Tenian mucho hambre.
  11. For those quibbling about no consequences: "Alleged War Criminal and Criminal Against Humanity Ben Netanyaju" is not a favorable epithet for a leader much of the world believes to be just those things. This is now quotable by the credible world press which is generally timid about such proclamations even when they document them in person. Now they can quote the court.
  12. I needed that dark laugh. Thank you.
  13. God? Earth, here. One of your primates is out of control. Already handled. Cooking themselves. Their children actually. Insects are on deck to take over.
  14. Henry Kissinger would have had to flee to (checks chart) maybe China? The western hemisphere is out even if they don't honor the statute.
  15. I browsed. Got this. Have you no Aggie Honor, sir? Poor little Reveille down there just waiting to watch the next game or at least the scoreboard. Now soaked in Aggie urine filtered through Aggie turds. REVEILLE! Almost forgot to add: She never even gets a chance to say it was a sippy in disguise:
  16. Insightful, CTJ, as always. Irish asks a good question that leads to my uneducated thoughts. As I understand it, the 2022 class was a colossal front of cash that caused discord (to say the least) in the A&M locker room due to imbalance of pay. A&M fumbled (shocking!) their handling of this because they were already in trouble maintaining the 2022 standard let alone flooding the locker room with cash to make everybody whole. You think they're walking into the same airplane propeller?
  17. I do. They changed the rules, my friend. They introduced ruthless means to a system designed for civilized (for the most part) intercourse. I have a cold, ruthless side, too. They should not be able to count on the rest of us to keep on white gloves. We can cite them later for people caught on video attacking our country. Queue it up with the Twin Towers burning and the Pentagon gashed. The war seems to be over before we raised a fist. Shame on us. Now we get the fruits of comfortable capitulation. I do not exclude myself from that shame. I'm embarrassed (in a sniveling kind of way) that I've got the white man stamp. I'll probably die in the recliner watching a Longhorns game before they discover my true feelings on which I've done little to act beyond what I'm doing right now. Pith. I try to bring them down with pith they will never read. Fucking hero of the republic. The Romans should rise from their pyres and slap me for invoking their name.
  18. John Brown didn't get long. Nor did the Lincoln assassins (acting in the name of a country other than the US), abettors, and standersby. Widely witnessed treason is a case for summary execution with vast historical precedent. These methods are not fitting matches for how we want the law to work for average citizens. I don't care. I don't care that the law has an ineffectual definition of treason when I can see it for myself. Along with a 100 million other witnesses. If anyone is unsure, we can replay the videos on a loop. But they're citizens, these "alleged" traitors? Really? Persons who publicly, violently assault the seat of government with arms in hand don't forfeit citizenship the moment they do so? They get to enjoy a benefit because they weren't hosed to the ground with .50 cal as their actions invited? My, aren't we civilized following decorum on the Titanic! Legality triumphs over the obvious. Our violent enemies remain alive and most serve only tiny percentages of their worthless lives (such is the value of someone's life who takes up arms against the United States, no?) in prison. But this is an emotional appeal, Roma. That is the way of the mob and not a nation of laws. No shit. I didn't change the rules; they did. Let's play. It would have been easier to have acted on Jan. 7. Round the whole bunch up and put them on slow boat to Gitmo. Sink the boat. Send Trump to join them on Jan. 20. Pretense? Uh, everybody saw them attacking the capitol and TV changing their status as prisoners. It's not criminal law so much as military law. Our vibrant experiment as a free people has become hardbound. The laws established to keep that experiment on the rails now derails it through arcanity which is the new tyrant over the obvious. ETA: I didn't name @TwiceHorn at the beginning of the post because it's not for me to volunteer persons to engage my raving and bloviations. We seem to be leapfrogging each other as we post which gives the feel that I'm specifically directing my opinions at Twice. Twice's opinions are as nuanced as anyone's; I don't seek to encapsulate them. I've always appreciated the input from Twice. It ain't easy bringing slaps of reality.
  19. I wrote before reading this. I'm not persuaded, my friend, that someone making themselves an enemy of the republic cannot be tried and jailed (if convicted; it's a difficult case, the whole country watched the crime on TV) in an expedited fashion. I'm sorry, Mr. Smith. You'll have to wait in line like everbody else.
  20. Should have gone after them for delaying a government function. Both fucking sides. Just as the press was grinding along the business as usual coverage and analysis of the race (I don't know that doing their jobs would have mattered, but at least they could sleep at night had they done otherwise), the legal system could not find a way to expedite the most important criminal cases likely in history, possible exception for civil rights. Well, it just takes this long. I'm sure it usually does. Lawyers have other things to do, dockets are crowded, procedures can take time, the judge is crooked... I respect the illumination we've received on that from patient attorneys, particularly @TwiceHorn. Fuck all that other shit. Clear the dockets. Order the attorneys. Expedite procedures. Replace the judge for conflict. Pro-ceed. The justice department crawled. The courts crawled. Lawyers were allowed to delay the crawl. Just like the press and much of the electorate who should know better, we've sleep crawled to this putrid administration already allowing peeks at their fouled diaper of an agenda. I stayed patient. I tried to trust the system. I shut out the annoying, knee-jerk reaction of "ain't nothing going to happen." I'm waiting for my membership card to Idiot World to arrive by fax anyday now.
  21. He's doing for it Trump. He's a good toady.
  22. Look! Standing ovation! On his head! Maybe even attached!
