  1. They abandoned the offense that worked pretty good to be overcautious and be devoured. "Victory" offense.
  2. I think I even noticed the receivers not paying attention on that play. Anybody coming across the middle would be deadly. Arch saw the situation and chose swiftly. Well done.
  3. So did I. (think they had it in the bag) The dumbasses with Horns Down painted on their bodies was particularly sweet to see. Their fans seem to have bought into the Horns down as something that devastates us. At least we didn't eat it, fuckwads.
  4. Negged for dishonesty, TexAggy. Thanks, though, for distinguishing yourself from the regular Aggies who post on this board. Here, I'll do what you're too chickenshit to do: tu=ebil Now fuck along home and lie about your experience here.
  5. Saturday was a pretty big lesson in the philosophy. Let's wait and see.
  6. I felt like shit after the Kentucky game which Stoops handed to us. I felt like hammered shit at the end of the third quarter yesterday. We were going to be routed to begin the plane's final descent into the Volcano of Shame. Then? What a ride! The im was taken out of impossible. I was happy! I never care that I was wrong about shit when we win like that. I don't really understand someone stifling that pleasure for fear of seeming to reverse one's position. God forbid somebody have a little fun after victory.
  7. This was eating me up. The color idiot kept saying that MSU had stifled our running game. No. We did, Mr. Brilliant Football Analyst Hired to Add Something Insightful. Never running for a first on third down has become the new always go for it on fourth instead of kicking the FG or maintaining field position. You must make first downs to establish a running game. You have to stick with a running game to set up play action. On third and 2 or 3 after two running plays, you kill any groove you're getting into by always fucking throwing it thinking you're fooling anybody. We have a QB who is terrible at simple short passes. He throws maximum velocity cannonballs that are generally inaccurate and extremely hard to field. (I'm all for the Arch lovefest after yesterday's 4th quarter. I think I felt better about this win more than any other so far this season. It saved the season.) The one time he threw a ball to lead the receiver was on the first pass play to the sideline. That's what that play should look like but has only looked that way one time. Work. On. Sustaining. A. Ground. Attack. We have big OL. Sometimes they can run block. Wisner is hard to keep from getting a few yards. The pass plays with open receivers who should make first downs are not well executed. It doesn't matter if they are well designed and called if execution is a failure. We don't have a run game because we reject having it not because we're getting stuffed every play. Yes. He carried the load as QB in the fourth quarter. Yet another corner he may have turned. I hope the concussion doesn't block him from remembering it. Bravo Arch! However, Arch should be hot wired and delivered a shock every time he throws deep to the left side of the field to Wingo. It's his favorite pass. It almost never works. Stop fucking doing it and find a route that may actually work. Is there a reason Niblett isn't playing Wingo's position?
  8. I think I walked in on somebody else's fight. The Ohio State reference was a joke. I do say A&M played like a top ten team. We may have done so for a quarter yesterday. Right now, they're a better team than we are. Their portal additions turned out to be brilliant. Reed has come around.
  9. Well, since we're talking A&M, can we count only losing to Ohio State by 7 as better than any of their wins? Can we use their standard? Plus, I don't see how our schedule impacts the magical alignment stars that reduced their schedule to shit. They did beat LSU like a top ten team should.
  10. Man, you guys are sure about your judgments formed in dire moments. Every coaching hire is a crapshoot. Didn't we supposedly have Saban lined up to take over for Mack? Oops. Sark seems to have built a strong culture. We were over-rated to start the year based on the notion that Arch would be a Heisman winner and some how we could immediately reload an entire OL. No and no. Sark didn't vote us number one. There's a real problem with the offense. Sark has blame to take. I have doubts about firing him this quickly. If Sark does jump, we need to keep PK as y'all say. I have no idea what Kiffin's locker rooms are like. Would we want Saban out of retirement? I'm nervous about returning to the wastelands. eta: I've read more of the thread. Having CDC is a plus, but didn't he hire the suddenly despised Sarkisian?
  11. For TexAgs Aggies, our schedule last year was laughable to the nervous Aggies. Their weaker schedule this year will fall under the category of the enormously difficult grind of playing SEC teams week in and week out no matter who it is you play. It would be amusing to see the Aggies actually make the SEC championship game with one or two losses (as long as one of them is to us), get crushed there, get an okay seed in the playoff only to get crushed there again and finish near the bottom of the top-25. I don't see us making the playoff this year, but it would be funny to eliminate from that, too. It would turn one of their best years in living memory to utter humiliation.
  12. It's a laughing at un-self aware humorless Aggies thread, not a bragging to confuse the humorless thread. How did that work out for Him?
  13. The only restraints on Trump are illusory ones he hasn't pushed against yet. I fucking would. I'd gather everyone of Trump's toadies into his gauche ball room to reward them for their service.
  14. Surgical military strikes. Regime change. Enormously costly unwinnable engagement. No people throwing flowers and chocolates to their American liberators.
  15. That was the first serial killer/torturer I became aware of. We'd just moved back to Houston. I was still in school. It's the only reason I know that there's a place called High Island. If someone can do a show on Dahmer, they can do one on Corrl. Like Gein, I bet hardly anyone not from Southeast Texas has ever heard of him. If someone does want to take on his story, perhaps it lacks any sense of humanity that grounds some of these stories. The neighbor in the Dahmer story helped with that. I've never read anything about the Corrl stories. I only know what's been related to me about the horror.
  16. It's not a very well put together documentary, but the story itself is so heartbreaking that it doesn't matter. I'm sure we all guessed who the victim was early on. Such an exemplary human being.
  17. The billionaires will be fine.
  18. It was a fourth down play as well. If it's called, they're moved out to about the 20 to try another 4th and goal. They whine unceasingly about the referees of the world taking orders from the SEC or money from us to keep the dear old Aggies down.
  19. Many Texans who never went to college are Longhorn fans. I love that Hispanic Texans number high enough for a Spanish broadcast of our games. I know that the fanhood extends beyond state and national borders, but I recall Darrell Royal saying that we are the state team and many people here see us that way. Lastly, all Texans likely have money finding its way to UT. We're theirs. I love it.
  20. You think the University of Texas will shrug off $50k? Did you go there? Hell, I went when it was cheap and they tried to squeeze every dollar out of us that they could. There was a building use fee for self-paced courses that never met in a classroom. For one semester back when pre-registration was still kind of new and nobody had computers, they made pre-registration regular registration and turned what had been regular registration the days before a session into late registration. They charged a penalty. All students who didn't yet have the money to pay for pre-registration paid a little extra. Oh, here's the capper. When I started, Texas was redoing the Union, so it was closed for two years. In those two years, they still charged us a Union Fee and had the gall to charge an extra "Special Union Fee" to pay for the renovations. UT will never get a dime from me. I have contributed to the student food bank because I remember some hungry weeks. Not that it bothers me or anything.
