  1. He's exactly right. Fucker's been reading my posts!
  2. I thought he was wildly popular at USC when he took over after Kiffin was left on the runway. That was Kiffin, wasn't it?
  3. I had no idea that they'd revived Jan. 1 as a spectacular college football day. A million years ago it was so fun following the games to figure out who would win the MNC. ETA: I read years ago that the bowl games would be so much better attended if they were held on one of the team's campuses. The lesser bowls are scams where teams accepting the invitations must guarantee ticket sales. The suggestion was to offer half the tickets in the home stadium to the visiting fans to lessen the home field advantage. The empty stadiums for bowl games makes it feel like they're playing in a mausoleum.
  4. It was pretty clear after the second week that you couldn't tell how good anybody really is. It makes for a fun season. I have little idea how good the Aggies are. You've beaten teams like a ranked team should, but you schedule has turned out to be shitty. A&M has no control over that. It's pretty much the same for most of the top 12 or so. Mississippi State was close to beating Tennessee and us. Vanderbilt is a solid team. LSU sucks. Florida? Who the fuck knows for sure? Georgia? They're winning games like Texas is but against teams supposedly better teams than we've played. It's all a big, who knows? It's pretty fun on a national level. Last week I thought Georgia would eat us. Now? Fuck it. Let's put on the pads and pump up the balls.
  5. Methinks you are irony deaf. You also retreat to another Aggie sounding response proclaiming some wild hypocrisy because you can't understand what I am responding to. I'm guessing your neck veins protrude like penis veins. See your doctor.
  6. My wild obsession this year is 4th and 1 decisions. Florida's decision to go for it instead of kick the FG was, IMHO, another idiotic decision. I'm guessing a few aspects drove the decision: mathematics (a td still beats them) and the notion of being "aggressive." What is not considered is the cost of failure in terms of emotion. Over and over, I've watched the team that stops the 4th down get a huge lift. You give them a victory. I think it changed Georgia's mindset. I think it deflated Florida a little bit. "Analytics" and announcers and coaches seem to consider it a math problem. Does three points really matter against what we may gain? They don't see it as giving the other team an opportunity for a small victory that they would otherwise not have. They also don't know the value of three points until very late in the game. Had Florida made the field goal and their own defense held, a later field goal would make it a two-score game. If Georgia scored a td (as they did), Florida would only have trailed by one point instead of four had they kicked it instead of going for the first. Their path to victory would be far easier. For the emotional part, Florida had the momentum when the decision was made. They felt invincible. Georgia was down. That's the biggest thing, I think, you sacrifice when you go for it and fail. If you go for it and make the first, you still may be forced to kick a field goal. The Houston game a few years back is the perfect example of this. We were killing them. They were ready to lay down. Instead of kicking a field goal, we let them stop us and they roared back. At the time, I thought it was stupid. Unless you're way behind, always take the points. You don't know the value of the points, and you need not give the opportunity to the other team to get a win.
  7. I feel like I'm reading TexAgs. I haven't even given it a thought since the game ended. The uncalled PI on the td pass was egregious. Still not news since we won. Nobody cares. Exactly. As the play happens, the ref has to make a call. Do you expect a ref to just shrug on a play like this? It was close enough that even with video replay one must study it to decide. I don't believe in that fraction of a second a ref calculates all the stuff some here are claiming he did. Incompetence or errors do not constitute conspiracy. I hated sitting near rage addicts at games.
  8. One of my least favorite players ever. Hot dog. He, Jerry Jones, and Barry Switzer made it easy to cease caring about the Cowboys. Then Bud Adams moved the Oilers which allowed me to give up the NFL altogether. If he stays in coaching, only another desperate program will hire him. He won't want the come down.
  9. Yes. I'd also thought Arch's poor play was bringing the team down as a whole. Now we see the inverse. I think the comeback win and his play in this game have the guys thinking we're in any game. I hated the end. It seems we always have to have a shit fight every week. The one play touchdown "drive" to start shit in the fourth was sickening. The blatant interference on the near td catch was infuriating. Anyway, I feel better about stuff going forward. If our defense is intact, I think we give Georgia all they want. Arch's quicker release and hitting to short passes is very encouraging.
  10. Outstanding game. Cobbled with the second half last week, and everything is looking good. He was choppin' 'em up out there. I'm delighted. His progress now does not negate what was going on earlier in the season. Sark looks better for sticking with him. He looks like he's arrived.
  11. Incredulity=Gullibility
  12. Something darkly funny about this screenshot. Three absolute disasters. "Ceasefire back on after strikes." So, there's a ceasefire in between outbreaks of war. That's stretching that definition pretty far Mr/Ms journalist. Reloading and gassing up the planes is not really a ceasefire as boasted by President Where the Fuck Am I?. The hurricane reminds of President Mushroom's screwing of Puerto Rico after their disaster and his deft deception with the Sharpie that proved he knows more about weather than all the meteorologists.
  13. How many disgusted alienated GOPs will believe their party is going back to the values they've lied about since Reagan? Trump just revealed who the GOP is. The GOP, I'm sure, were surprised the revelation didn't destroy them. Nope, the hidden vile part is now embraced. There will be no retreat from the acid they've poured on the functions of the republic. They're not going to invite back the government employees who were replaced by toadies. They're not going to re-fund any science that they've questioned. The rapacious policies will stand. The GOP will have gerrymandered districts, crooked election officials, and the Supreme Court to keep them in power. The returning GOPs will comfortably slip on the warm coat of lies about their righteousness. The Dem party is dead. Trump leaving will not yield them a single vote.
  14. Trump won't trust Vance. If Vance wins, Trump will get Kirked and beatified. He's got to run someone he can absolutely trust to step down.
  15. I'm late to the thread, so I'm sorry if I'm repeating someone else's response. Since Trump is sure he won the 2020 election, will he use his last election as a precedent for election to office more than three times? Sorta kidding. Sorta vomiting.
  16. Well, there has been a development in the last few years equivalent to the invention of steam engines to agrarian England. I wonder how many people think Name-Image-Likeness when they read NIL. That reasonable debate was handled poorly and has now pretty much been shuffled aside to set up the careening. So, it's different this time. Add the notion of paying a coach $25-35-55 million to leave then hiring a new coach with the same deal and risks, and you have financial insanity. I don't see how anyone stops it, so we just ride along. When you get into the neighborhood of half a billion dollars going to fire coaches in one season, you're in a pretty sick part of town.
  17. As explained by the referee analyst in another game, if you lead with the helmet on a defenseless player, it's targeting no matter where on the body. Look how low the tackler has to come in to make that kind of contact. I thought it was targeting while watching. I think the refs in the booth blew it.
  18. Don't forget that SNAP along with USAID provides a subsidy for farmers because we grow more food than we need, which is likely a good strategic idea except for the part of it that drains the aquifers. I figured this out on my own years ago. President-Cognition-Who-Doesn't-Know-What-Cognition-Is Trump can't grasp it even if explained to him. People stop drinking milk, so the dairy interest launched a massive eat cheese campaign. So good for America that children are raised as cheese addicts. It's why you also had 5 pound blocks of cheese being provided to the hungry of America. Don't want to lower production, lower prices, or pour out all the milk. The pulled themselves up by their bootstraps billionaires and heirs say let 'em starve. It's motivation. They're right. Here in Idiot World, it's motivation to hate the illusory libs and the Dems and the woke and the intellectuals. I am that cat. We here in ebil Cloak Room are all that cat.
  19. No, there is yer good nigras, too. Astonishingly racist. I skimmed past that paragraph because my eye caught the cornball Aggie shit. It's also not quoted, so is that from the purported "gump" or a lead in from the hooded author of the post? Either way...
  20. Undoubtedly? Like I said, I don't know.
  21. Do high-IQ people repeat the same phrases over and over? It also looks like the left side of his face isn't working. I wonder if he kept that side of his head away from the cameras. To me, it looked like he was speaking out of the right side. He looks thinner, too, and not in a healthy way. I have no idea if his sudden demise would be good or bad or whatever for the country. The hate engine rolls along no matter who is steering.
  22. Forgive my humbly submitted addition. I opened up AP to see about the SNAP story. I bet Adriana got straight As in Journalism School! The story here is Trump Administration Denies Food Support to Score Political Points. In an official notice, the USDA blamed Democrats for the Republican Trump administration's decision to withhold food distribution to 1 in 8 Americans. The administration refuses to tap contingency funds set aside to avoid such stoppages. But no. We get the template. Quote service. Don't report what you see. Report what you can quote. Shameful.
  23. That money would have bought a lot of drones. Oh well, who wants to prepare for the next war when the stuff from the last one is so cool. I loved these guys: They convey such power and tradition. But, you gotta let go.
  24. That's funny. Arch's namesake was a running QB in college. I only saw one bowl game that he played in. Stuck in my mind all these decades. Never saw him play as a pro that I recall. Archie Manning found a way no matter what it took.
