  1. Have you been paying attention to UT football this season? You don’t think the product Sark has delivered sucks? I sure do and I’m certainly not denying it. News flash, amigo - it’s going to get a lot worse before it ever gets any better. That much should be obvious. I have zero confidence in Steve Sarkisian. Zero. Highly problematic is the fact the regent who insisted he knew what he was going when he had Herman fired and who largely is responsible for the Sarkisian debacle will never be held accountable for his incompetence and will be given every opportunity to screw up the next hiring, also. That’s one of the major problems with UT football. Im not sure how you interpret this sentiment as my lying about what I said. How anyone could not have understood after the OU game that UT football is lousy. It deserves laughter, ridicule, and mockery. Sarkisian is way in over his head, the program has incompetence at the highest levels, and I can find no reason why anyone who understands the game of college football expects anything other than a complete shitshow for the foreseeable future. How you interpret my opinion as a complete excoriation of the program that I am certainly not walking away from mystifies me. Now, enough about Texas football. There are reasons to believe other school sports can deliver a quality live sports entertainment product. I have completely separated myself from UT football other than to laugh at the incompetence and to shake my head at how educated people can’t see how bad the product Sarkisian has delivered is.
  2. We are seeing the greatest period in both the history of aggy football and also in aggy athletics as a whole. Not a single aggy men's program won a NCAA national title until their golf team in 2009 (correct me if I got the year wrong). The school only has 13 NCAA national titles in total and all but one or two have come over the past 15 years. As for the aggy football team, by all objectives measures, Kevin Sumlin would be their greatest coach ever. Heisman Trophy, first top-5 finish in well over half a century, first coach in program history to win three consecutive bowl games. These are high times for aggy football. Yet, not a single team of the greatest era in aggy program history would even be remotely considered for that top-200 list. In fact even through the greatest period in program history, it has been over 20 years since aggy football scratched out a winning record in conference play two years in a row. Myles Garrett, possibly the greatest aggy d-lineman in program history never played on a team with a winning record in conference play, let alone competed for anything of significance. The greatest era in aggy program history and not ever in contention to win a single conference title. That amazes me. One of the things that amazes me about aggy athletics is how aggy doesn't have an NCAA gun sport program. Only knowing how fucked aggy is as an institution makes the fact A&M doesn't compete in NCAA gun sports understandable.
  3. We should claim the four that have been awarded by contemporaneous nationally recognized pollsters. The issue with aggy claiming their "retroactive championships" is the Billingsley Report fails to take into account the game of college football wasn't a national sport at the time of the claimed championships. The S!E!C! wasn't founded until 1933. Its founding helped standardize the rules of the game. When teams play only regional opponents and play under rules that differ between regions, there is not legitimate way to compare teams from various regions. Remember, during the seasons aggy claims their "retroactive national championships," the Southwest Conference didn't allow post-season play, which is why aggy had to decline the challenge from Tennessee as explained in the clip below. Only after college football became a national sport could a national champion be crowned. Except in College Station, those fucks are so deep in "fairy tale greatness" they have no clue about the actual facts surrounding their claimed championships. By the way, has anyone else noticed how suddenly no one is writing letters about being a visiting fan to Kyle Field and experiencing a magical epiphany of what superior human beings aggys supposedly are? Isn't it odd that all of a sudden those "spontaneous and legitimate" letters are no longer written by anyone when individuals from every corner of the nation were writing them not long ago. lol.
  4. Clay Travis' laughable premise that SECN revenues would make second-tier programs such as Mississippi St or aggy financial powerhouses with operating revenues greater than Notre Dame, Texas, etc is something that could only be believed by ignorant rubes. Which is why aggys swallowed it hook, line, and sinker. The entire "aggy athletics is a financial powerhouse" fairy tale was driven by their capital campaign, not by operating revenues. Most aggys were never taught how to read a balance sheet, so they have no idea how capital contributions and operating revenues differ. Fuck them. It's not as if balance sheets are the only things aggys were never taught about. As for "aggy national relevance," attached is a link to the Billingsley Report's top 200 teams of all time. Quoting the report, "This list is compiled from all 13,793 teams who have been ranked since 1869, not just National Champions." https://enc.cfrc.com/archives/Top_200_2020.htm Whatever one thinks of the Billingsley Report, I mention it because it is the source of aggy's magically produced "retroactive national championships." If aggy wants to tout the value of the Billingsley report in determining "retroactive national championships," let them also tout the Billingsley Report's top 200 teams of all time. Not a single team in aggy football history qualified for Billingsley Report's top 200 teams of all times. That pretty much clarifies where A&M football stands in the world of college football. Their "greatness" simply doesn't move the needle. Not "Johnny Football," not King Gill, not John David Crow. Not the "Wrecking Crew," not any team. In the history of their program. Notice the teams listed. Then notice the teams that are listed repeatedly. Those are the programs that built the sport of college football. Those are the top-tier teams in the sport.
  5. I didn't say I was going to be gone. I said I've given up on this incarnation of UT football. It's a horrible product and the people responsible (Eltife) need to be kept in mind. Eltife wanted to be the big man (see what I did there?) and run the show. He's in over his head. Sark is not the man to run the program, the next two years are going to be purgatory for UT football fans, and I'm going to sit this debacle out.
  6. Sportico just released a new database of collegiate financials. They are using DOE numbers that haven't been updated since the pandemic, but I am sure the DOE will get their shit together and start actually doing their jobs again soon. The database is somewhat interactive. Here is the comp between aggy and Texas. If you go to the database you can get much more info. https://www.sportico.com/business/commerce/2021/college-sports-finances-database-intercollegiate-1234646029/
  7. No. Kevin Eltife is the architect of this team, from the firing of Tom Herman on down. Sorry, but I’m not about to (yet again) to live passes to idiots who insist on making all the decisions because the donate the most. The big UT donors are complete idiots.
  8. Did it escape you we lost try again? Back in my day, we weren’t the team that lived and died on moral victories.
  9. Oh, no. Kevin Eltife and the other incompetents who have driven this program into the ground don’t get to be let off the hook. I have every intention of driving Eltife’s midget ass into the dirt that it deserves. Mid you want to get did of me, you’re going to first hold responsible the person who put this team together.
  10. It’s called” a noisy recusal.” To hell if I will give a pass to fucking incompetent pieces of shit who cash their checks and deliver nothing.
  11. Do you’re saying “wait till next spring?” Fuck Chris Del Conte. He has delivered a long-term loser to UT football. Abandon ship. Abandon UT athletics. Just move on.
  12. Fuck you, and Kevin Eltife. The fact that you are ok with UT Steve Sarkisian not being qualified to sniff the jock of the OU coach tells me a lot. Texas football has devolved to a joke. No one questions whether they can compete against any UT football team. Fuck UT athletics.
  13. Sorry, Sark, but fuck you. I officially abandon UT athletics. I’m not sure anyone associated with UT athletes has a clue how to do their job. They just raise prices every year and call themselves “marketers.” 2005-2021= much humiliation. The players now get paid huge money and not a one of them could pray to be qualified for the big money position of sniffing Lincoln Riley’s jock. Sorry, UT athletics, Its not just that you can’t deliver anything but loses, it’s just that you are losers.
  14. I officially abandon UT athletics,
  15. I officially abandon UT athletics,
  16. It's time I abandon UT football. We have tried for years with every advantage possible and we can't find a coach even remotely capable of even sniffing Lincoln Riley's jock.
  17. Texas sucks. End of story.
  18. No. Sark is a loser and should feel bad. Sark sucks.
  19. Fuck Sark. Im tired of being asked to support coaches who can’t dream of a day they they are qualified to sniff Lincoln Riley’s jock. Texas sucks.
  20. Just let it go. Steve Sarkisian isn’t qualified to sniff Lincoln Riley’s jock. UT football has been transformed into a culture of losers. Either learn to live as a loser, or just walk away. For me, I’m walking away.
  21. Steve Sarkesian isn’t qualified to sniff Lincoln Riley’s jock.
  22. It's been two years and not a single aggy has won a dime in my $1,000,000 "aggy yell leader" sweepstakes.
  23. Let the fucking conference burn in Hell.
  24. Just talked with a neighbor who is a nurse. Evidently there is a company in Dallas that has nurses doing at-home IV therapy for medical patients. A “marathon group” had the nurses come out this morning for medical hydration. It was fans getting pregame IVs do they could start drinking again.
