  1. Their coach and half their team may be portaling to aggy by Saturday.
  2. Can't see Traylor because he can't bring enough portal guys and recruits with him to stop the roster bleeding that's about to happen. They will need a major college coach who can bring some players/recruits with him. It'll be the University of Kansas-College Station or something.
  3. In the huddle: "Come on guys, we've got to score here to increase my jersey sales and improve the value of my team ownership shares." Offensive line after the play: "Ooops, missed him. Sorry for the sack. Hey, that looks like it hurt."
  4. The last Civil War widow died in 2020. When she was 21 she married a vet who was 88. The last person to receive a Civil War pension also died in 2020. She was the daughter of a guy who fought for the Confederacy at first and then went over to the Union side. He deserted from the Confederacy just before Gettysburg where 734 of the 800 men in his regiment died. Her mom was 34 when she was born and her dad was 83. At the time of her death, she was collecting a pension of $73.13 a month.
  5. Jesus. I just looked at some of this stuff. They will kill people again, either on the cuts or the stack. And why they insist on stacking the logs vertically is beyond me. It's all just so, so stupid--to the point of not being funny but more along the lines of horrific. The whole thing makes me queasy.
  6. Dan Pastorini played with broken ribs and a punctured lung and he was just a heathen womanizer. Johnson will play as he owes it to virtuous aggys everywhere. Just put him in a flak jacket and send him out there Jimbo!
  7. I posted this week about how Brooks had not fumbled all season. Thankfully we won, but I'll take responsibility for the jinx. Sorry guys.
  8. There is little in this world more lame than aggy aiming aggy jokes at others.
  9. But he doesn't have to spend all that time in CS. He can figurehead it and drop in for press briefings and games while leaving the coaching and recruiting to subordinates. Five days of the week he's on a boat somewhere. What are they gonna do? Fire him? Hell, he'd probably have a better record if he did that.
  10. Because I have PTSD from the previous 13 years, part of me is looking at this like it's house money. We're bowl eligible and every win from here on out just means a better bowl. I mean, we know for sure that our team is going to get those desperately needed extra bowl practices. Hallelujah! The other part of me will be really pissed if we don't win the conference and play for the national title.
  11. Texas is 13th in the country for points allowed this season, with 128 total. Five of the teams ahead of us play in the B1G, including the top three. We're giving up right at 16 points per game, which puts us at #15 in the country. We're holding opponents to 97.9 yards rushing per game, also good for #15 in the country. We are #36 in total takeaways with 13, but that ranking is skewed by a bunch (and I mean a bunch) of little schools like Troy, UAB, Coastal Carolina, Liberty, and Bowling Green. Among top tier schools, we'd be #10-12 and not far off the top five. On the other hand, we are 69th in the country for passing yards allowed per game at 230.1. That puts our yards per game ranking at #27 with a 328 yard average. So, it seems the basic stats align with the anecdotal evidence and our eye tests: we need to improve in the secondary. Now, I'm fully willing to accept the argument that PK designs the defense with the primary goal of stopping the run, forcing short passes, and making the other team execute to perfection to sustain drives. However, that strategy is not fully supported by the play in our secondary. Still, there has been dramatic improvement from what was inherited and I think PK is a damn good coach. Whenever Gideon or Joseph leave, I expect PK to be the deciding voice for the new hire.
  12. Brooks is sitting at 923 yards for the season with 212 receiving yards. His rushing average is 6.4 yards and his receiving average is 9.6 yards. He has 8 TDs and two runs of over 60 yards. In the Kansas game, he averaged 10.4 yards per carry. Alabama, where he averaged 4.1 yards per carry, was his "worst" game. He has zero fumbles for the season.
  13. Is Bear Alexander doing anything at USC?
  14. Dark days ahead for Texas recruiting now that aggy got their signature win.
  15. That's no excuse for hitting send as soon as the fingers stop typing. It only takes a couple seconds to read what you just typed and at least correct the stuff that stands out. That's assuming something would stand out to these guys.
  16. Roma Villavicencio from Ch 5 in San Antonio:
  17. The thing you have to love about Maalik is how much touch he puts on his throws. (Given our schedule, I think he'll do fine--but I'll also bet that there's a ricochet that ends up being an interception at some point.)
  18. There's something familiar about this story from Michigan State, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
  19. That Penn State mascot costume looks like it is from the 1950's. Cheap, worn, and mangy.
