    Just remember, Buccees gave aggy $50M a few years ago. So when you buy those nuggets you are funding their glory holes. And yeah, they are nice on a road trip, but just remember this.

    https://today.tamu.edu/2022/06/02/buc-ees-creator-giving-50-million-for-hospitality-entrepreneurship-program-at-texas-am/

    Texas A&M University has announced that former student Arch “Beaver” Aplin III — one of the university’s most successful entrepreneurs — is contributing $50 million toward establishing an academic center that will serve as an immersive learning laboratory for students.

    “When Beaver Aplin does something, it’s never halfway!” said Texas A&M University System Chancellor John Sharp. “The love he has and shows for Texas A&M and Aggies is inspirational and appreciated. This is an awesome gift and will position Texas A&M to become the top hospitality program in the nation.”

    The Aplin Center will offer a transformational student experience through new university programs in hospitality, retail studies and food product development involving innovative degree programs including viticulture, fermentation processes, coffee, and food science. The facility also will house product development laboratories and food tasting centers which can be utilized in partnership with related industries.

    I'm guessing his new building will have enormous and freakishly clean bathrooms glory holes?

    And I think it needs to be thought about that maybe younger folks just aren’t into college message boards, especially with the progression of social media outlets. I just don’t think creating social media platforms for Surly is going to drive people to this board. If anything it will just drive up the number of followers on that account meaning more content on those accounts will need to be generated. It’s highly possible the “message board generation” of the late 90s, 2000s, and 2010s is just for that generation? Just a quick glance at message boards for random colleges across the country, and Jesus some of those threads haven’t seen new posts in a long time. A few forums have threads on the first page of the football board from August. 

    Yeah, that makes sense. I do think a Surly twitter feed would be hilarious though. Especially in-game comments. Idk how else to reach a younger demographic. We generate so much commentary and some of it is outrageously funny.

    But what problems though? CR doesn’t spill out into the other parts of the board. That one “poster” made shit up. 

    I don’t think he said the CR is the cause of a lack of engagement. If people don’t like the topics or can’t handle what’s being thrown at them in CR, then a.) why are you even on this board but b.) don’t go in there. That seems so simple that most of the alcoholic here can understand that, right? 

    While we're at it, why not have a religious board so we can fling shit at each other talking about who's God is more powerful? I know what you're saying... And in the world we group up in, I would be fine with it. But not now. Too many (on both sides) take it way too seriously and like it or not, this message board is left of center, which is finally starting to alienate a lot of conservative longhorns (yes those do exist). It's guilt by association, whatever your political stripe. And it does bleed over.

    I have no idea how to attract the youth. I do think Surly needs a better social media presence so that people see it on Twitter/X and travel back to the board to contribute. Maybe take funny posts and tweet them? Maybe get "influencers" to tweet out Surly stuff? Idk.

    It's not psychosis when it's a cultural phenomenon. Psychosis means a break from reality. Plantation syndrome is aggy reality.

    not when it's posters here  asking why a black kid would play football for aggy... those fans should be ashamed of themselves for saying something like that... And it's always old white men saying that shit.

    Just got this about a minute ago...

     

     
     
    Thank you for your loyalty and support of Texas Athletics. Your passion is unmatched and has directly helped elevate our football program to its first College Football Playoff Semifinal appearance. The future has never looked brighter for our Longhorns, and you have been with us along the way all season long.  
     
    We received your request for tickets to the College Football Playoff National Championship Game on January 8 in Houston. The demand for tickets from our donors and season ticket holders was the most in Texas Athletics history with over 33,000 ticket requests, and that doesn’t even include the demand from our nearly 20,000 UT students with the Big Ticket.
     
    Congratulations!!! We are excited to inform you that should Texas advance to the National Championship Game, we will be able to fulfill your request based on your ticket request and priority limits. We will notify you of your seat location and price by January 4 when we charge your card on file. Ticket prices for the National Championship Game will range from $650-$1,700 and all seats will be filled as best available in loyalty rank order. 
     
    Mobile tickets for the College Football Playoff National Championship Game will be sent via e-mail by January 5.
     
    We greatly appreciate you for supporting Texas Athletics, and we hope you have a wonderful New Year!

    Jesus, that read like my acceptance letter 20 years ago...  get to the fucking point. lol.

  6. Florida State is a prime example of an entity without vision... Texas on the other hand... our leadership saw the writing on the wall, saddled up to the SEC knowing we could influence the future conference realignment madness from inside the SEC better than we could leading a marginal Power 5 in the Big 12.

    FSU is just being reactionary.. They will never be part of the SEC nor the Big 10. Plus, going to a 12-team playoff next year, the solution has resolved itself. They'll leave the ACC and end up dateless... Out of the proverbial frying pan and into the fire.

    I want an ar in a 308 and 6.5 Creedmoor 

    Carroll’s is great.  It and that place in Eagle Lake are two of my favorite gun stores.  
     

    I also am looking at a new pistol for carrying.  What I have now is either too big or too small.  I want a true small carry 9mm.  Thinking about the Sig P365XL.  

    User name checks out :)
