  1. It doesn't much matter what George W thought he was doing or why he was doing it. Sometimes, it only took one hand to control the strings. Just like this.
  2. I hadn't thought of Dykes. He knows how to get to the championship game. He got TCU to within one victory of a national championship! Think what he could do with our unending supply of money, facilitiesfacilitiesfacilities, and the Aggie Network! He beat tu twice when he was at Cal! Actually, I could see it.
  3. Is it just me, or is this kind of vulgar? They have to believe they're the richest school and they can't be anything or imagine themselves as being anything without crowing about it. I suppose I shouldn't begrudge them; they have so little to celebrate in actual competition or even as human beings. (I'm mainly talking TexAgs Aggies.) We've got facilitiesfacilitiesfacilities, fan support second to none, all the money and resources in the world, and a huge student body! And don't forget our fake army, fake honor code, and manly manfulness! The growing number of 2%ers must really do a lot of cringing. Stick with it, guys. A&M brought you in to spread Agginess, but they've fucked that up like everything else. You're going to make them less Aggie and more tolerable. Fight on!
  4. This is outstanding. You post it here and, after a few sentences, it's recognized as irony. Post it on TexAgs, home of the irony-deaf, and the crowd will either cheer it or debate it as though it's sincere all the way through. BTW you had me almost all the way through the top line of point one.
  5. Dear Sark, I have it on good authority that you should try winning the remaining two games. Love, RomaVicta
  6. Most everybody knows, but I can never let it pass that that yokel handing out the plaque did this at a ceremony honoring the coach at A&M Commerce for an actual national championship. Zero class. Zero self-awareness. Wildly unjustified amount of self-confidence.
  7. These fall under the category of "tactical blunder of being aggressive." An s at the end of blunder would have been clearer.
  8. Slow and not very good but determined:
  9. Today's reading on the interwebs;
  10. Kind of like we're on the ledge with the scotch watching somebody else's world fall apart. Cheers!
  11. There's merit to this. Nietzsche wrote that mistakes always occur in a pair. First you do too much then you do to little. Traylor's a pretty good gamble. Has East Texas connections and will allow the spotlight to move from A&M to somewhere else. I'm thinking getting the story of their obscenely stupid deal with Jimbo out of the news is one of the prime motivating factors. Still, it's an astonishingly huge amount of money to have risked and lost. Even for A&M, it's stupid at an astounding level.
  12. He's evidently been banged up. Still, if he's on the field, utilize him.
  13. And, again, we did not get a laugher. And, again, we gave up late-in-half touchdowns presumably because the stifling defense we had been using must be abandoned for a defense designed to prevent quick scores that inevitably leads to quick scores. I guess we feel like it's enough to limit scoring drives to 3 or 4 plays. All gas. No brakes. Nope. Half gas. Slam on the brakes. It's not the players. Sark has created a culture that overcomes poor strategic decisions. It would take so very little to clean up the repeated strategic errors plus the notable tactical blunder of joining the cult of "being aggressive." Kick the fucking field goal. Punt at midfield when you have a dominating defense. Don't run the same failed blind charges at the middle of the line on fourth and short even if they used to work. Adapt, Coach Sarkisian. Do so and join the ranks of elite coaches. You're so close.
  14. Two observations: I was relieved that we got the false start on 4th and 1 which forced us to kick the fucking FG. I was so delighted that we did not give up our traditional touchdown at the end of the half. Great effort tonight, 'Horns. We look like the real deal through two quarters. Let's beat the shit out of these guys in the second half. Please, for once, let's have a laugher in the fourth quarter.
  15. I zoomed in. I don't usually comment on such things, either. In this case, it looks like somebody used photoshop to switch her breasts with the skeletal woman's on the left. Trump seems to need the women to keep him oriented as to place and time. Sad.
  16. What could be more appropriate than the implosion of their football program on that very same date?
  17. Nothing says sincerity like having your publicist spin a public embarrassment using phony-sounding language.
  18. No offense, but that's some Aggie sounding bullshit right there. So puffed up and postured.* We'll just be us and not worry about proving shit to anybody. *Sincere apologies for the non-sentence. Feature not a bug.
  19. As a sports competitor? Why not? They're not sitting on an equal level in any other way unless they earn it. The celebration of the end of amateur athletics as even a pretense should have told you out front. I agree with those saying Texas has no more interest in this unlikely scenario of UM joining the SEC than anybody else. Do we really want Harbaugh doing sleep-overs with teenage boys all over the South and Southwest? Do we want them to have easier recruiting in Texas? I couldn't care less what conference Michigan plays in. They don't strike me as an A&M wanting to run away from any perceived big brother. It's just a hysterical bluff.
  20. I wasn't aware at how closely we're expected to study every post on a thread for nuance. I shall try to live up to that standard, my friend. For the record, at least I didn't neg the guy.
  21. I don't get the need to declare zero chance about any of this stuff. It's all guesses. There's a chance Murphy is just going through normal early start growing pains. He may improve to excellence for all we know. McCoy didn't set CFB football on fire his first season starting. There's a chance that Arch doesn't turn out to be a great CFB QB. There's a chance Ewers doesn't become consistent game to game. The only likelihood in those three to me is the one about Murphy's growing pains. None of it is crazy.
