We do this to share the team's pain. See, now it's not weird; it's special. Once you know the reason and the tradition, you will want to come to A&M where you can be a part of something bigger than yourself. A place with values and an honor code. Texas A&M University. We stand up the whole game to show we're ready to go into the game if needed. It doesn't matter if we're playing an fcs team or the game is a runaway. We stand ready. They almost needed us against the Bowling Green Seniors. We were ready to go in when Appalachian State outscored us. Also, the pinnacle of our lives is earning our Aggie ring! We then take our places in the Aggie Network. No other schools have these things. Here's our unofficial hand gesture that we use to inspire the team at every game! Once you get to know us, you'll love us! That is, except when you play us; then you will fear us on the field but love us as the classiest fans anywhere! -

He was blown away. Has something to think about. Knocked out of the park. Not the exact same words, but this reads like Aggie fluff. Gettin' ready for the big day! Or, maybe, beautiful Lake Bryan! Roll out the red carpet? Hell, boy, we roll out the red lake! Knocked it out of the park! Given 'em all something to think about while they're taking their antibiotics back home!- 4664 replies

Here we have the strength of Aggie reasoning followed by.... ...the classic Aggie tale about every outgoing coach. The new guy will have them showing up to practice on time, fielding grounders, swinging two bats to warm up, and spitting without hitting their uniforms. A whole new deal! This genius, Aggie-like, falls in line: *No, you don't. Default to the traditional fictions about virtue. Last summer these guys were heroes and true Aggies because they stayed. Now? Not so much. Marvelous: 1 Captain 2 Conjugation. 3 We all aspire to be the person in charge of the command. 4 Aggies never simply lose. It's resent, you moron. -

They're going to make him earn his millions. When everything went to shit and they were taking another drubbing, Earley looked resigned. I imagined him thinking, "This is humiliating and awful. Just make it to the end of the season and it will stop. And I will be a millionaire." Nope. Aggie gonna make you go through it again. What a kick in the gut. -

Irony deafness is never funny. Neither is blindly answering your question within the question even while denying it's the answer. There's a moron on the road His brain is squirming like a toad. Jack's on a roll: Maybe he's a troll, but it's amusing. -

I hadn't thought my NFL metaphor (We don't how or who plays, just make me feel like a winner!) for what drives voters as nationalism. Of course, that's what it is. I guess I think of nationalism as influencing foreign affairs. Seems pretty dumb now. Thanks.

It's become an in-your-face gesture in the way a pointed Merry Christmas has also become. They excel at seizing harmless words and gestures and weaponizing them. Liberal. Environmentalist. Feminist. Woke. Democrat. Social justice advocate. They should merely be names of movements or whatever type of group, not objects of hatred simply as words. These hateful tactics are not accidental, of course. Well said. I share much the same sentiment. I never really liked the word "proud" of being American or Texan. I started saying "pleased" instead. Like others here, I liked knowing that as a nation and as groups of citizens, we did a lot of good things. It helped to balance out the horrible things we've done although I begin to doubt the good acts have nearly the weight of their opposite. But all powerful nations smash things and steal things. Not all of them show up if there is a disaster or bother to use its might to protect an ally. Our dual nature was extremely evident in Central and South America. Our government is training death squads in Georgia and propping up Caudillos while private citizens (largely Christian) were building churches, hospitals, and offering very valuable aid. I don't see much of that now. Trump makes it a policy to erase it. All I'm left with are our blunders and abominations. They will mount in the coming months. I'm neither pleased nor proud to be an American. I have nothing to point to to justify either feeling. We're somebody new. I am proud to be part of the opposition with my other friends and friends here. The nation is not void of good pieces. I'm in a state of resigned lament. I'd be delighted and surprised if this country became embraceable again. I feel ya, @Sbbruin

Thanks for the recommendation.

I think it was clear when Israel's expectations of driving the Gazans into Egypt was thwarted by Egypt refusing to open its borders for them. The Israeli plan to quckly desplace huge numbers of Gazans and then, presumably, to never let them return was wrecked. Instead of allowing Israel to close its border and deny Gazans their homeland, Egypt pre-empted the plan by seeing the future and refusing to take part in it. Israel kept dropping 1000 pound bombs or residential areas. Much of the idiot, lazy press painted Egypt as the cruel one. After all, this was a righteous war against Hamas for the (genuinely) unspeakable crimes committed on in October. I believe the better press elements (likely print journalists) found the story that Netenyahu had been supporting Hamas to have the enemy he needs to allow brutal policies. Although widely reported, the black and white issue of the Hamas criminal attack made covering the war easier for the big TV outlets. Panels don't like complex issues to yell at each other about. This started and continues to be a campaign of annihilation. Bombs, terror, starvation, denial of medical help, and bulldozing in areas of Gaza made the intention obvious. Should someone argue that this is pressure to retrieve hostages, I will point to the Nazi tactic of killing 20 innocent villagers to pressure the French resistance. Of course, the scale of that is quaint compared to the Israeli campaign. Our journalists fail us again, but I can't be sure that it makes much difference. Their failure is not having the fortitude to identify something they see accurately. This is not simply a war against Hamas where the Gazans are sadly caught up in the crossfire. This is total war against Gaza. At the very least, it should be described as a military invasion and takeover of Gaza. There is no place that the Israelis have not smashed and occupied. The media fail in the same way in their hesitancy to label the starvation in Gaza a "famine." A year ago, I heard a guy (unhappily) explaining that the UN had not declared famine because they have precise criteria for doing so. There must be x number of children per thousand people to be dying regularly was one of them. Others were similar statistical marks. The man (probably a UN spokesperson) was unhappy, I think, because to him it was absurd to see pictures of the roaming Gazans with neither decent shelter nor knowledge of where food will come from and quibble about whether it was technically, by UN definition, a famine. Of course it's a fucking famine. The word was created before there was a UN. I can see that the newsmedia have embraced that absurdly concrete definition because they dare not pronounce something unless it's a quote. It's my biggest problem with the TV press. They're lazy and incompetent. This nasty little "war" has proceeded under a broad tent hiding its malice. Israel has made itself an outlaw nation. And we support it. Shame on us.

I found this exchange over at William's place. Imagine the world centuries from now. Archeologists sift through the remains of College Station. Several odd things about the place and the legends of an army run by a dog and a populace terrified to walk on grass has finally justified a dig. The writings below would be very insightful as to the minds of the people known as Aggies. 1 Bowel Movement Aficionado 2 Apparently, the Aggies are considering the creation of a bull fighting team. 3 Statement of fact. We'll call this Dogma 1: They're all out to get us because of t.u. It's a fact! 4 And here? Dogma 2 We have to ignore that "fact" of persecution and concentrate on ourselves. Aggies will gaze at their own navels after what it is and where it is are explained. 5 Aggie Netword validation. Brings a tear to the eye. 6 It's pretty clear you weren't agreeing with the fixation on t.u. part. 7 You keep using that word... 8 Firmly in the camp of Dogma 1 9 You abjectly accepted the object lesson about power when you protested Texas joining the SEC. It was betrayal that you would not stand for! You might just take your power to another conference! You learned the measure of your power in that moment. Chastened, you tamely voted for Texas' entry. 10 His (nick)name keeps popping up. I expect a sizable faction of TexAgs posters to demand his return. 11 The Aggies are so noble and decent and decent and just plain good. Thanks for the truth, buttwad. -

It's very typical and typically weird that they think the whole world is following the dear ol' Texas Aggies very closely: -

Filmmaking note: these are Conan's first words in the movie. Brilliant. -
They learn decorum, bearing, command, discipline while getting a top notch education. Their Commander Clown-in-Chief shows up in a garish red cap to spew idiocy, jingoism, and drivel with no regard to the document these men and women have sworn an oath to. Bring on a military junta that then surrenders power like George Washington did once the traitors are rooted out and hanged. As President Trump said, democracy imposed at gunpoint. That's an order.

It's a repeating pattern. RomaVicta (before now): Surely it can't get any worse. RomaVicta everytime: Doh!

Would JD Vance be up? I recall thinking Gerald Ford was not smart enough to be president. He was a more accomplished scholar (and athlete) than I would ever be. He was likely my intellectual equal or even looked down. I just thought that presidents should be smarter than me. He wasn't a bad guy. The GOP wasn't yet a bad party. Ford would be a low point for capable presidents, I thought. Nope. Reagan had little idea about what he was doing or how things work. That will be the low point for GOPs, I thought although I was becoming aware of the construction of the hate engine. Reagan meant well. I don't think even Nixon ever had a thought of undermining the republic. He just abused power. Next, the hopeful blip among the GOPs. GHW Bush. He did many things I didn't like, and he was the old school face of the new school (hate) GOP. We leave the low part of the wave where Nixon defined the depths. Certainly a smart guy was in charge who cared about the republic. That was so common, that a person never thought about naming that as a qualification. Of course there can be corruption and power/money grabs, buy no basic desire to fuck up the country. But no. W Bush is an ambulatory moron with name brand recognition. The Iraq invasion and all the lies used to justify is the worst policy decision of my adult lifetime. At least there was a publicly recognized pretense for the disaster of Viet Nam: fight communism. It was stupid, but it was something real. Iraq...don't get me started. So W will be the dumbest worst GOP president in my memory. Nope. I don't expect things to go up. I just hope they do. A Republican president has become, by definition, a disaster in the making.

As we've all discussed, it may come down to them. I haven't watched these videos yet, but it is encouraging that the sat through much of it in stony silence. I saw bits from Trump's address to Alabama students, and it felt like a rally for Trump. Trump should be the antithesis of what a young thinking person visualizes for this country. Maybe the officer corps will be saviors of the republic.

The dark humor can get pretty good in bad times over there. Or, when people recognize they're in bad times. Otherwise, these guys are told to grow a pair and go back to Asstin. Oh, and this:
