    C’mon guys they’re building parts for the Death Star.

    Andor has a hand in building it. Andor has a hand in destroying it.

    Yep. I think you've nailed it.

    Yes it was.

    If we had somebody who could catch punts we would have won about three more games. What a weird fucking team that 2010 group was.

    Not sure if it's less embarrassing or more embarrassing that we had played for the NC the season before. I'm going to go with less.

    Yep. Can't afford $95 million right now. Don't fire him. Reassign him to an assistant athletic director role and keep paying him his $9.5M salary on the current schedule even if you have to do it for ten years. Easier to make the monthly payments than pay the lump sum, especially when you're going to have to pay for a replacement at the same time. Fire the rest of the staff (hopefully they don't have long guaranteed contracts).

    I think his contract stipulates he must be the Head Football Coach.

    I think its time to bring back the swag that Sumlin introduced. For example the #YESSIR hashtags had alot of millennials like myself tweeting everytime someone committed. Lets not forget about the Swagcopter.

    Aggie football needs the swag back to bring the wins.
     

    Yup. I can’t think of a more natural combination than swag and Jimbo Fischer.

    My gf is from India, and is one of the smartest people I've known.  If you administered any of the commonly used IQ tests, she'd score extremely high.

    And she somehow made it through her entire life not knowing that North America is completely surrounded by water.  I know this because she asked me how long it would take if we drove to India.  I explained to her why that's impossible, and told her never, ever let anyone know she'd asked that.  Soon after, I bought a nice globe for the house.

    Even when they're smart, they ask nonsensical questions.

    Of course, I've seen enough of those "stop random college kids and ask them history/geography questions" videos on YouTube to understand that today's younger generations are the mostly poorly educated about commonplace stuff since the 19th century.

    My wife has a Masters in Econ from an Ivy and scored 11th overall in her country’s college entrance exam her year. Watching TV with her is like watching TV with a 5-year-old.

    With how he looked in the spring game and reports that he doesn't know the playbook and would rather party its tough to see a scenario where he plays well. If he was as good as advertised then he would have at least been in the QB competition with King/Johnson. Here's the spring game where he throws about 2 good balls the whole time. 

     

     

    I love that when he airmails a ball 5 feet over the receiver's hands the announcer says "Good Coverage!"

    @ChiTownDoc I was also fairly amused that Venables just took the shutout like that at the end.  Didn't even try to mount anything those last few drives to keep that streak intact.  If you try and fail, so be it....but at least fucking try.  It's not like a pick 6 or something that was really going to make it any worse.  

    I enjoyed it a lot obviously, but I'm not sure I've ever seen such a combination of brain dead AND gutless coaching.  

    Yeah. I agree. You gotta try to score something just to avoid all of the stats that have been flying since the game ended. Terrible optics to just give up like that.

    It's nice, isn't it?  And when you complete your ballot, you can drop it off in any one of hundreds of drop boxes in your county (there is one at the library about a half mile from my house).  You will get one text when your ballot is received and another when it is certified and counted.

    All voting should be done the way we do it here.

    Seriously, is this not how it is in Texas? I only lived in Texas long enough to participate in two elections in the 80-90s.

    There are a lot of places in there Bay Area that aren’t SF. We live in the East Bay in Moraga. But the whole area of Lafayette, Orinda and Walnut Creek are great. Of you Fing need to get into the city easily there are other communities to consider as well. 

    WTF? That last sentence was meant to say “if you don’t need…”

    And I don’t know if I want a major city and if we do I don’t think it’s a US city. I love the outdoors and being within walking distance of a trout stream would be ideal. That’s the idea behind tahoe or Colorado. And from Tahoe/truckee we can be in Yosemite or SF or Carmel or any other amazing spot for the weekend pretty easily (within a day of driving).
