    The steadfastness with which they'll insist that continuing to adopt Jimbo's very complex pro-style system despite what will be very poor returns this year (and, as others have mentioned, Texas talent which does not lend itself to a 21 personnel system) will be glorious.

    They've long used the "it will take three years to install his system" rationalization for football failure.

    Get your licks in while you can.

    Get a dog.

    Our guys will be a year older, so we'll improve while everybody else remains static or gets worse.

    Hundred year decision.

    Steal taxpayer money. How many pallets of cash vanished over there? The accounting company was little more than a PO Box.

    You know Jimbo will put the pressure on guys to commit and shut it down with OUsucks getting 4 commits.

    Nah. Remember Luicci said that Jimbo would have picked our class clean if not for the early signing. Goes double for OU.

    Jimbo is cleverly gathering in the hidden gems before cherry picking the big diamonds from poor, luckless Texas and OU.

    here where we are. With a broken legislative process. Laws written to the highest bidder. Doped up to our gills, with an amatuer president who is a con man liar. We did this and only hard work and a clear plan will get us out. So I guess we're fucked.

    Bigly.

    The other part about the Trumpists is that they are driven almost exclusively by emotion. You can't argue someone out of a feeling. The Perotistas were drawn by ideas, that's why they dispersed. Trumpists are a mob.

    Hugo,  don't you think Trump's base is the only thing that will keep these GOP politicians in office?  Trump being impeached doesn't magically bring back the pre-Cheeto Republican Party and put them in a positive light.  These fuckers CREATED this situation. 

    They are fucked, they know they're fucked, and they're gonna latch on to Donald's teat until it's over.  The spineless ones (like Paul Ryan) will "retire". 

     

    The GOPs are in a terrible bind of their own making.  An electorate of 30% hard core Trumpists means that they are easily the dominant faction in a single party.  For incumbents, they can buck the Trumpists and lose the primary or embrace the Trumpists and loses in the general election.

    For decent GOPs, they can go down on principle by condemning Trump or try to stay in office and do some good by not condemning Trump. A decent person would pause before surrendering his/her seat to a Trumpist or a hated Dem. 

    Hacks like Ryan go with the direction of the wind and may have their hands in cookie jar. Non-hacks are screwed by the hacks.

    Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher and his staff have proven that they are not afraid to cast a wide recruiting net, scouring the country for players they believe will help them win an SEC and a national championship.

    Most coaches get the heeby jeebies as they approach the state line. They use bamboo fishing poles instead of the wide recruiting net. Scouring? They've never heard of it and don't like the way it sounds when they do.

    But Jimbo? He coaches fast. He performed open heart massage on Koda Martin to save his life while instructing his QBs how to properly hand the ball off.  Fear is unknown to Jimbo Fisher. He laughs as he steps over the state line to scour the country for 3-star yankees who will tame the mighty SEC in short order. He's a man. He's a short man and cuckold, but he's a goddamn man!

    We've never seen the likes of him nor will we likely ever again. Behold the courage while you can.

    Perroni is reaching Hammesque levels

    Where I have pushed back is on this concept that there was some organized effort within the Trump campaign to undermine the american political system via collusion with russia. I dont think that the Trump election team was capable of organizing within themselves, much less organizing with russia. I think it was amateur hour all around. 

     

    I think this is solid perspective. My reading in Atlantic Magazine's What Putin Wants and their article on Manafort supports that different actors are acting for different reasons. My conclusions based on my limited reading:

    Putin wants to stir up trouble for the US wherever he can. His attack on our election could be (likely is) related to the US condemnation of Russian elections and his legitimacy. His hold on Trump was a lucky card that was thrown into his hand rather than a master plan.

    The Trump actors seem motivated by money or crushing debt. They sold out the system for personal gain rather than being part of a master plan to damage faith in our political processes.

    Trump, on his own, has fascist instincts to attack the press, vilify the defenseless and spew lies about the return to greatness of Italy Germany the US. Putin gets dealt a royal flush.

    All of these activities are vile and unlawful. However, I don't think a master plan was in place to bring us to this point in time where Putin's best wet dream of American political disarray and distrust has taken over the waking world. It's just a perfect storm.

    Still, all these fuckers need to go to jail.

  9. We played the Aggies around Thanksgiving for a hundred years and the OU game never became an afterthought to anyone. What would change now? Why exactly?

    They need attention because nobody gives much of a shit about A&M without Manziel (who was electrifying) in spite of their facilitiesfacilitiesfacilities and membership in the SECSECSEC.

    It also sounds like they want to get out of their new Thanksgiving "rivalry" because they're actually getting thrashed more consistently by the Tigahs than the 'Horns.

    Poor Aggie.

    You could read that he's turning 3 visits into 1.  

    He was going to visit last weekend,  attend the spring game and then set up an official visit.  

    Smart kid. 

    That's what it looked like to me. If you're going to go anyway, you may as well be treated like a king and have the whole thing paid for.  I wouldn't be surprised if the A&M staff had to use the perqs of an OV just to get him into town. Who knows? Maybe it will work and get the recruit interested. Neither party has anything to lose.

    I didn't think the post was that hard to understand.

    Italy is the Louisiana of Europe.  Its an excessively corrupt tourist state. Id take a German gov't in a heartbeat. 

    Oh, so now you're getting all fancy and distinguishing between European countries as thought there is any difference between Germany, Italy and evil France. They're all the same and the murderin', rapin', negro-hatin' Dems love everything about them! They sent the negro they elected to apologize to everybody and eat their vomit. That's no kind of a man or manly political party!

    Join the fine people who have joined the GOP!  We say the politicians are all the same, but you know we don't mean it!

    You'll come for the lib-hatin', but you'll stay for the certainty of your own virtue. We're really great people.

    I really think A&M is targeting out-of-state receivers they're trying to get guys that are like Amari Cooper Calvin Ridley DJ chark

    This is what a man who knows how to win a national championship (Natty to those who have never won one) knows how to do. Non-national championship coaches waste their time looking for players who don't resemble the best players from the past. 

    Jimbo knows how it's done. Recruit the best players and keep the QBs eyes from crossing.

    The SEC trembles.
