  1. That's a higher more refined grade of idiocy than you get from Texags. We've also criticised a coach for wanting to make sure his players were hydrated just because he was bad at other things. We're elite when it comes to refined, targetted idiocy, sir.
  2. Be physical. Get good players. Knows how to make his program successful. Verrrry impressive. Good bull. Very insightful. Stuff I never knew was important. I'm about the most optimistic guy in the world when we hire new coaches. If we hired this guy so we could be the place where he proves himself, I'd be furious. The Ags will rally around him and say stuff they've been saying with every new coach for decades: Lot of bad stuff going on in the locker room. Team didn't have that Aggie fire. This guy doesn't stand for any bs. He'll make us tough. I think the team is getting it's swagger back. tu is so scared of us.
  3. Mistakes happen in pairs; you do too much then you do too little or vice versa. Bjork is playing to his audience like Billy when he talks about setting up incentives so a coach doesn't get paid well unless he does well. Sounds great if you're happy getting a guy for whom the base salary seems pretty good. They're low-balling after setting the bar for high-balling. They're going from their weird notion of you get what you pay for. They concluded that if you pay someone a lot of money that person must be fantastic. In their minds, Jimbo was elevated by the high salary he commanded from them. Seems that didn't work out. Now they're convinced that incentives are the way to go. Certainly not stupid on its face. Their problem is that they assumed that everybody wanted that sweet A&M job because it fucking gawd damn A fucking and M. They discount the amount of money it took to draw Jimbo as a reason other coaches might be interested. Jimbo loved A&M. Everybody secretly does when they're not quivering in fear of them. So the Ags have the swag to lay down a tough contract. Result? They get an itenerate guy who just had a pretty good year. I guess the other coaches Billy said were wearing out the phone lines wanting to take the job just didn't impress the Aggie brass as much as this Fisch guy. Sort of like Petrino.
  4. I'll let Sark be the judge, but agree with you. Our offense will be good. It will be more dangerous with elite receivers, but elite receivers are not required. Stewart seems kind of like a cunt.
  5. Don't give up on us white men yet! We'll do better! We promise! Ah, who am I fooling? We need to be kicked out of power worldwide.
  6. I suppose that I, in the same way, can assume that all persons grouped in age around you are facile reasoners. There are plenty of things to dislike about any generation. Generational pride is idiotic. Generalizations are generally idiotic as well. Except when discussing the Dutch.
  7. First thing, I don't want to hear anymore of you idiots calling me E-Rob.
  8. Don't forget Vasek was rated higher than Burke. I'm ready to see him prove it , but so far we can't seem to mudhole any team enough to allow younger guys some snaps. This has been my concern for years, dude. Even when Mack was mudholing opponents, he'd leave in the starting QB way too long. I'm sure he and GDGD were slaves to the idea of getting as many reps as possible. By the time QB2 got in, it was just hand-off time which also irritated me. I'm old school enough to not want to run up the score, but if your second teamer needs reps and you wait too long to put him in, run the fucking offense. Oh, and kick the fucking field goal particularly when you already lead. Lastly, don't go for two until the fourth quarter and playing from behind. Points is good, coach. Points is good. Fucking dumbasses.
  9. That's a shame. Their air force fought quite well and bravely. They introduced us to the exocet missile. I think they flew French Mirage jets. Prince Andrew was one of the helicopter pilots who would hover near the ships trying to draw off the missiles. I guess he dreamed of 15 year old girls in between flights. Argentina sent an old battleship towards the British fleet. The General Belgrano was torpedoed far from any spot where it could have used its guns. WW2 technology versus Space Age technology. What a show.
  10. I don't want to turn this into a movie thread, but... I think most director's cuts are bloated and narcissistic. Apocalypse Redux is a prime example. There is a cult of the director among movie mavens. If only the artist could be unbridled. Bridles are often good. Everybody hates it, but movies must be collaborative efforts. Kind of like a football program where all must come together to recruit, train, practice, and play! It applies. It really does. Really.
  11. Interesting point about staying in a P5 conference. On the one hand, with a 12 team playoff there will be room for winners of non P5 conferences. OTH, could such a team recruit well enough to have a chance of getting very far? If Oregon State made the playoff a few years in a row, would that draw players? I have no idea what the answers are, but it's interesting to ruminate over. It would be ironic if congregating all the strong football schools in five conferences actually make it easier for some of the non P5 schools to build up and compete.
  12. Can we stop this? I assume you mean great for us. This guy looks about right for what they should be looking for. I'm enjoying watching all this unfold, and I have no dread or much care about who they end up with. I would like for them to end up with another disaster, but I have no dread about whoever fills the position. If he makes A&M stronger, good. The games will be better. I'll only be deprived of a measure of Aggie misery. If he sucks, another few years of a great show. We're not a house of cards or a place that should have any special apprehension about playing the Aggies. Perhaps my own lack of concern is due to how often they prove that they can't rise above mediocrity. Now cheating doesn't give them any great advantage. Bring 'em on. ETA: I see Texafornia anticipated me on this one.

    More of a Russian province, but I take your point.
  14. Better people than I'll ever be. Respect and thanks to them.
  15. He's right. Some are acting that way if you count the people who are acting like we're acting that way. Well, we know somebody who did that. This somebody is prouder to lose with an SEC patch on their jerseys. It just means more. If Texas were running away from the Big 12 because we can't win it, why would we bring the 14-time (mouth vomit) conference champion with us? It really makes me mad when they call me sippy. Clearly, Texags should be put in charge of selecting the top teams. They could tell Miami was elite before anyone else even thought of it. Same goes for Tennessee. They know football like Jimbo knows how to win a...
  16. The Aggies would be able to cover themselves in glory at being able to say that they're rich as shit and once again will prove how much sitting national champion coaches crave the job based on how much the Aggies have to pay them to come to College Station.
  17. Wow. Those Duke statistics: Virginia gained 448 yards despite 12 penalties. Go for him, Aggies.
  18. This is the true brand of TexAgs toughness: cheat and assault someone from the rear. The same classy, stadium-guiding fans that brought you Cart McCry while creaming their panties when Eyebrows McGee started his first fake limp after the first play from scrimmage. They love that one of their military school men hurled a shovel full of horse manure on band members in the stands who had no way to retaliate. At least they couldn't before the cops grabbed that degenerate. They have the kind of toughness that is very defensive about not being considered students at a military school where only about 5% are in the ROTC and only about half of those nerds actually take a commission in the armed forces. We're a military school! You hear what that yokel said?
  19. You're just not seeing the whole picture. All of the above is because they are unlucky and plotted against. We are lucky and ever-plotting. And cheating. Oh, and destroying the conferences that we hold together after the pussies run away.
  20. This says something about where we are.
  21. You've got to get the team and fans fired up when Abilene Christian comes to town! I bet the yell leaders told their best stories, and all the girls are giddy. The fun is back! Expect a recruiting bump.
