They're not making an argument about mail-in ballots. They're further undermining faith in our election processes. They don't care about legitimate ballots of any sort. They want all ballots to seem illegitimate so they can claim whatever they want. They're dismantling a republic not thinking about politics as usual. There are big stories about this all over the front pages of every newspaper in the country everyday. It's all anyone can talk about on TV news. I think the tide is turning.

They are too timid, editorially, to report what they see in accurate terms. There's a war going on in Gaza with a hunger crisis not a famine caused by a brutal, inhuman invasion. Editors and legal departments will have to discuss this issue for weeks before they decide, finally, that concentration camp is too charged a description for their readers. Now, somebody on a panel show might call them concentratin camps. They will be answered immediately by a shouting, outraged fascist accusing them of hating America.

Shit through and through. The pustules are in charge. We helped blow them up; why would we want to put 'em back together? I think the news media are still shying away from the word "famine" to describe the holocaust in Gaza. Calling ongoing extermination a "war" may be a war crime in itself.

Texas A&M Football 2025 - On the Edge of Glory(holes)
RomaVicta replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
According to Pate, Elko is going to ask his team to practice hard and play hard. Play. Hard. There's your significant difference, my friend. He also says that if they win a big game that it will be a big deal. Light coming through yet? -

I like Klatt a lot. I think he's fallen into that thing I mentioned above: The Aggie narrative finally gets to you, and you go out on a limb. I do find the proximity of these words amusing: High hopes for the Aggies = #16 I'll echo @closetojumping's sentiment about media hate. I don't think they hate anyone. They fluff teams that are doing well. They favor the aristocracy. When we're not good, you hear people everywhere wanting us to be good. They may be Penn State, USC, or Michigan State fans, so they won't pull for us to win it all, but they like big names to stay big. Sports fans are thin-skinned with long memories. Herbstreit called us a cesspool once, and many will never forgive him. He loves the college game and makes sure he knows his stuff. He's great for CFB as far as I'm concerned. He was once standing in the sticky poo that Klatt finds himself in now. He scraped it off and moved on from focusing on the Aggies. I don't think the pundits have many grudges or hatreds. Many are just stupid. All are occasionally wrong.- 422 replies

Yep. They'd be dancing in the streets out front of the Chicken after being skinned alive by the over-rated Arch Manning in Austin and bumped out of the top 16. -

Pathetic quibble of the day: There are several posts about whether this historic Colorado game should count as non-neutral. It says so much about how desperate they can get to identify some meaningless detail as evidence that futililty is not the way of the Aggie. -

I just about never watch this stuff. It's a patience issue when it comes to listening to sports guys talk. I watched this, and it prompted a consideration of the difference between blather and bloviation. Is the difference merely philosophical? I'll get back to you on that. "Elko and his staff are going to ask this team to do something most teams can't do. Prepare and play really hard in each game. There, I said it. Most teams don't do this, because they don't have a genius like Mike Elko working magic and exerting a gravitational field. "Here's another keen point: Notre Dame is a big game for them. If they go to Notre Dame and win there, that will tell you something about this team. I follow sports closely and have my own show. I go to the gym and can keep a white shirt unstained. Winning a big away game will be a big deal for A&M." Profound. Ask your team to win all year. Then win big games. Okay, I took liberties with the language but not the spirit. There is only spirit in Pate's bloviation: the blather of school spirit for the dear old Texas Aggies. ETA: @BurntEyes reminds of Pate's opening: A&M's season last year was a success because they entered the Texas game needing only that win to go to the SEC Championship Game. As y'all say, that fact is doing a lot of heavy lifting in rating the Aggies as contenders. -

I'm late to this thread. Skimming some great stuff. Compliments to @closetojumping I wonder if A&M making themselves largely unignorable despite nobody much caring about their football program places them in a unique position to be over-rated just about every year. I think they are likely the only team of some prominence in college ball to have alumni constantly touting themselves as the next blue blood. They mantra the sleeping giant/all the advantages line until the notion finds footing in some minds of the national CFB media. At one time or another, just about all of those sports pundits pick A&M to surprise the world. At no time do the Aggies deliver more than a big upset win en route to their traditional ocho-cuatro. Now, they have established the pitiful narrative of "is this year finally the year the Aggies break through?" Nobody really wants to spend any more time on A&M than they do Michigan State or Pitt, but the annual question, just as the annual failure, remains: is this the year? They get an obligatory and cursory look flavored by the Aggie hard sell leading to this notion that they will be better than they are. The reasoning is usually applicable to all above average schools: if their QB breaks out, if the OL finally gels, if linebackers can stay healthy... Other than OU's aging MNC, I don't think the breaks have ever gone well enough for the miracle to happen. The Aggies just set themselves up, unfailingly, as a November punchline. The wages of self-promoting a self that sucks. -
Nothing bad enough can happen to these people, but what they do to others will be enough for me. Fat, masked, armored, bullying, fucks.

I like the phrase, "beautiful at every age." Not all persons are. The masturbation kings seem shocked, as they rub their wrinkly puds, that people age. Go to the "I can't believe this is the same actor" thread. They seem to feel betrayed by nature's course. -
Why do I always have to take out the garbage? I hate taking out the garbage. This is such a long fucking walk. I hate long walks. Why couldn't I have a gold carpet? What am I even doing here? Those fighters are scary, huh? Ha! Ha! Ha! Where fat boy?

What was the sniper's price for being killed? I don't know that anyone who can operate a rifle could be convinced that he will have a chance to fire a round in the direction of Poopy Bottom and not be killed or captured by the SS or the cops. I recommend a movie called the Paralax View with Warren Beatty for how they frame a person for this sort of thing. It's actually a solid film.

The Catherine O'Hara eulogy has really moved me. I had not really looked into Candy beyond his professional life. Exemplary human.

Tonight on all the news panel shows: How Bad is the Crime in D.C.? Some producer intern in the meetings thinks to herself yet again: That's not the story, idiots.

That is brilliant in so many ways. Under the cover of parody, Newsome can jab Trump like the Diaper-in-Chief does to everyone.

This made me laugh out loud. The sphinctoid mouth repeated on so many huge (relative to the humans) images for some reason raises a fair notion for a cartoon to something really funny and apt.

Let me know if this is getting tiresome. You're off to a difficult start, Olin, but you're an old pro. Let's see your sunshine pump from the koolaid stand. Okay, I admire your swing for the fences here. Sports statistics lie and deceive. A guy averaging 10 tackles a game and .5 sacks might not really be doing that. Lyin' stats, man. But Olin isn't talking about those kinds of statistics. Man, you're going to go all Perry Mason on these fucking stats when you prove that Tyler Onyedim actually did manage a sack last season! I can't wait to see you plunge in the dagger. Take this, Stats, you villain! It gets better and better! Onyedim was playing out of position even though it was his position! Now, how many sacks did he have, Olin? I'm breathless! Okay, but you started out talking about lying stats. Okay, now deliver the kill shot. You're not applying lipstick to a hog, you're blowing the whole notion of statistics being meaningful out of the water! You magnificent bastard! So, still no sacks in 2024 and only 3 prior to that. You're losing me, Olin. I thought your whole point was to prove the stats wrong and Onyedim to be a solid pass rusher. What have you to say about that now? That's a good thing because statistics suggest that he sucks at it. Stats are kicking your ass, Olin. You try hyping an Iowa State wide-body to rustle the jimmies. I deal in hope. Fair point, Olin. Well, that's disturbing. -

Good Lord that was mind numbing. What? About four original posts (they've appeared in hundreds of other threads, so not truly original) that are repeated over and over.
