  1. If they beat SCe, they'll be talking about how they lost X number of games by the tiny margin of X. That's how close they are!
  2. I wonder if he's doing them the favor of keeping his plans secret until after signing day. Hell, I don't think we'll know the prognosis for his damaged talus until he's been out of the cast for awhile. The Aggie certainty about Weigman playing next fall is ill-founded.
  3. I'm quoting just a small part of your apt post. When they say they don't want a shooting to become political because we need to focus on healing the shattered community, they don't do a fucking thing. They don't go personally console survivors. They don't do anything other than thoughts and prayers. They don't have a public gathering maybe in a cathedral. Nothing. I've always thought the expression thoughts and prayers as one of the most empty in our language. Something about the abbreviation "T&P" makes it even emptier. Am I to believe that these good men are on their knees praying to God at length? That they go to their studies and sit in deep thought about the tragedy? T&P just focuses us on the hollowness of American morality. Lip service, greed, fear, hate. Those are the picks and shovels that excavated the American soul such as it was.
  4. My thought as well. It's even worse that he has those boys doing deeply Aggie shit. I feel like he gets the same thing out of associating with Aggies that A&M gets from the SEC association. They both feel elevated even though constant failure is their brand. I think Hamm is a truly disturbed individual. He likely started out that way then public humiliation made it worse. I don't like facile psychology diagnoses, but I will venture to say that at least one of his pathologies is delusions of grandeur. It's an easy call. I hope he doesn't wake up one night of a dark black mood. He's bound to have guns in the house. He seems like the type to think his wife and kids couldn't face life without him. He needs to get to a professional.
  5. On TexAgs, they persistently urge the staff to remind the offensive recruits that Weigman will be back next year! They think everyone knows about Weigman and should be in awe. Weigman looks like a good QB. His career will be interesting to watch if he continues in football. He's not Peyton Manning or Vince Young or even Johnny Manziel. His name does not have the star power of Arch Manning who attracted recruits without playing a college down. Weigman is largely invisible to the greater college football world as would be the Aggies if they weren't spectacularly failing on the field and anchored by a stupid contract to their failed coach. They cannot conceive that they aren't a sleeping giant just a few nudges from waking. Weigman may or may not boost their performance by returning, but nobody really cares.
  6. They're sports morons who likely never took a journalism or writing course if they went to college at all. All they've ever thought about is sports. They start off dull-minded which is the acme of their intellectual life.
  7. Them grapes was sour anyway, Ags. Copy and paste: This is the week, boys! We've got top-five talent. This is the most important game of the season for our momentum with recruits. The whole world will be watching our contest with the Gamecocks. We must make a statement (this time, make it positive, please!). Sprinkle in blown away by the game atmosphere and hitting it out the park and more abuse of the word momentum. For a bunch of star whores like the Aggies, I don't know how they're going to handle stuff like this. Markus Boswell, Aiden Newbill, Jaxon Lee: Harrison Moore Kiefer Sibley The best guys on the list are committed to other P5 schools. The players above may turn out great, who knows? But they will not keep A&M in the vaunted top five of talent ratings which is something only they care about. I guess it's back to, I'd rather have a kid who wants to be here than a fancy five-star mercenary. Von Miller was a 3-star and he came out pretty good!
  8. This is another Aggie thing. They suffer some setback, but it's mitigated because they claim it "wasn't a surprise." Just weird. It's not really a surprise is sorta like I meant to do that. But this guy knows how college football works in this new era: This is true only if he means their bleeding out in the portal means losing another star recruit really won't make much difference. And of course: Moron.
  9. Or make them see what's right in front of them.
  10. From TexAgs: TexAgs represents the weirdness of the hard core Aggie in most things. Their political board, which I can only rarely stomach, is a study in MAGA thinking such as it is.
  11. We need to flood the area with more guns so the good guys will be ready next time. That or MMA training like manly Hannity. Is right wing America going to be as appalled by this as they are about the Hamas attack on the innocent? Will they see the similarity of experience for victims of terrorism and mass shootings? No. Our violence is like our movies where good guys shoot bad guys thus Scheiss Meister's post. Well done.
  12. That, my friend, is a horrifying piece of truth. Well said. The hate engine is revved up and ready to go.
  13. Bet the Secret Service never thought they'd have to come up with a protocol for a president to be in a jail cell. I guess they'd be posted just outside the cell. Let's find out!
  14. Past Lives based on what I read here. Just about a perfect movie. Thanks for the recommendation.
  15. Looks like Billy, his mom, and the think tank over at TexAgs have come up with a real money-maker. Got that snappy BTHO thing. This would die such a horrible death anywhere else. I'm guessing sales go well before Christmas because Aggies will think is just such a great gift for that special moron in your life. Lot's of Whoop!in Christmas morning beneath the maroon ornaments and among the hopeless children in their Gig 'Em pjs. I notice he didn't try to help the Aggie cause by using an NIL agreement with a player.
  16. Accountability: the Watchword of the GOP I'd like to cuff that smug smirk off his lying face. This is the game. Does this pasty gang of degenerates look like they're interested in playing politics? No. They're in the war against the republic. They actually laughed at a reference to the insurrection then shouted down the questioner. Maybe I'm off the deep end, but I think the political discussion on this thread about the implications of who gets elected speaker from this bubbling cess pool are sort of stuck in the past. There are no GOPs (maybe a few, I guess) at all interested in becoming more moderate. These are defenders of rebellion. The do so in the clip above. These are constant liars. These people have no policy agenda other than painting Dems as dangerous enemies of the country and collecting on the fear and hate they create. And they don't give a fuck about the interests or health of this country. The US would not miss a single one of these weasles who might emigrate away to another country or an incinerator somewhere. Not a single person in that picture is worth the skid mark on a homeless man's underwear. So dealing with them or hoping for something good from them is futility. The only answer is removing them from power. Peaceful means remain available.
  17. Did the story about the huge, water-intensive Saudi farm story have impact there? Looks like the whole deal was allowed and protected by GOP office holders. Arizona cancels leases on alfalfa farm.
  18. I hadn't seen this before. From the responses.
  19. Are you lying now, Ms. Powell, or were you lying then? I think that works better in fiction than reality. The witnesses here will have corroborating documents and witnesses. At least, that's a layman's take.
  20. I once had the estimable position of Assistant Manager of a going concern in the Houston area myself. I was the second of two persons who worked at a Stop 'N Go location. The chicks were all over me.
  21. I'm sure the GOPs who blamed the Dems for not voting for their speaker candidate will gush about how great the Dems are if they do support a lesser of two evils. Let the trainwreck continue. If government shuts down because these idiots can't even elect a leader, the blame will be clear as will the nature of the wicked cabal. No, the MAGAs won't care, but a lot of others will. What a loathsome package of pustules are the GOPs, a plague beloved by a large plurality of Americans.
