  1. There is nothing to scratch our heads about. Back in the 1920s they were much better than us. Before the 1930s football in Texas was subpar and the evidence for that is clear whenever you see Texas schools playing the big midwest and east coast powers back in that era. Which is why A&M's fake national titles from that era are such jokes. They would have lost 50-0 if they had played a real team.
  2. Yes. It was Poona Ford in that infamous 2015 Oklahoma State game. Nine years and a meaningless loss by a bad team and we are still pissed off about it. That is how much bullshit it was.
  3. I haven't seen a clipping called in over 30 years I don't think. I thought that sometime in the 1990s it got renamed "illegal block in the back"
  4. It just means "fuck you Texas". And we are going to get it in the stands all game, every game, against everybody. It only gets annoying if the opposing team and coaches are allowed to do that and our team cannot retaliate without drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct flag. And if both teams going "fuck you" in various forms throughout the game isn't taunting an opponent I am not sure what is. But hey I don't make the rules. Just make it clear what we and our team are allowed to do when the other team does "horns down" and fine we can live with that. The previous situation where they can do that freely but anything we do in response may or may not give us a 15 yard penalty on some arbitrary basis is not acceptable.
  5. Well at least he is no longer representing UT's hometown newspaper anymore.
  6. Didn't this fucker retire?
  7. Why? We are months away from election day. In the short term attention span theatre of this century that is an eternity to unite behind a candidate. And Biden is very replaceable. There is no cult of Biden that needs to be eased. The priority is getting the best candidate to beat Trump. We haven't even had the convention yet. And Biden should never have run for re-election. We should have worked through the Primary process to find the right candidate. But hey, still plenty of time. In Britain and France the whole election is just a few weeks. We can do the same. The election was already being delivered to Trump's hands. The priority should be keeping Trump out of the White House, not keeping Biden in it.
  8. Well the Big 12 was brand new, we didn't force anything to move. As for forcing the SEC to do things, well I hope this vast power does us more good than Sark and Texas based media members having to travel a shorter distance. Nobody cares about money besides Texas. For everybody else it has always been about the pure love of the game.
  9. The idea that somehow the one state and small school dominated SWC would have made it as a power conference past the 1990s if it weren't for Texas is incredibly stupid. I mean if the PAC 12 wasn't viable in this ridiculous cutthroat era, the SWC wasn't going to make it. Likewise, pretty sure the Big 10 and the SEC were going to be poaching the second tier conference's schools whether Texas was in them or not. Unless they think the ACC also has Texas in it somehow. Like everything that has happened to the entire country in sports the past fifty years was somehow all masterminded by Texas, despite the fact we are almost always a step behind and reacting to what other people are doing with the very possible exception of the LHN.
  10. LOL "Generation of Aggies" Aggies are considered fully adult by age 11.
  11. And boy did they laugh at us during that search. Only for Pierce to do better than Rob Childress but, you know, it was a bad look for us.
  12. Really? Because Augie spent some time talking to me and my father once they returned to DFF after the 2009 CWS. But maybe he just didn't like little kids.
  13. Wait wait A&M is trying to steal another school's coach? Isn't that illegal and toxic? Maybe DBU fans should sue them.
  14. Yeah it would be really nice to have a fresh face who can at least distance himself a bit from the inflation issue. Even though blaming the President for whatever the current state of the economy is, is so stupid. A legacy of Bill Clinton.
  15. Chances of dying in a fire are at least going up a bit every year.
  16. Joe would have to emulate LBJ and step down voluntarily. And if he was going to do that, he should have done that last year. Ah well. I live in Texas, I am used to politics being extremely demoralizing.
  17. Yeah well I could have told them this was going to go badly. Biden just barely did enough in the debates to pull through in 2020. Did they really think he was going to be better? It almost seems like the Democrats want Trump to win.
  18. Baseball finally delivers gymnastics to us after all this time. Is there anything UT Baseball cannot bring to this great University? Well...besides Men's Soccer.
  19. Everybody will have forgotten come February. Well...we won't, but normal non-A&M and non-UT people.
  20. Does 2021 and 2023 when we made it farther than they did not matter? Were those years 20 years ago? Ah well. One would think if they surpassed us BY FAR that wouldn't be the case.
  21. By what? I figured as big SEC guys they would be delighted with an all-SEC final.
  22. We will never stop being bitter about that. Hehe. But the one game championship lasted until whatever shitty network paid to televise the title game (and did a shitty job, they sent all their MLB guys to cover it who didn't give a shit about college baseball) which was until 2002. We were, in fact, the last team to win the single game championship. Oklahoma State also was eliminated from the CWS with only one loss when they lost the title game in 1990. Wichita State, the team who beat us, then had the same thing happen to them in 1991 and 1993. In fact it might have been more common than not for the CWS runner-up to only have one loss during that era.
  23. Yeah. And look how grateful they are for their success? This is why they suck. They should be excitedly building on an amazing run. Instead they are going to burn it all down in a fit of nonsensical rage. Schlossnagle came in and worked miracles. They should be thanking him for an amazing job done. It is insane.
  24. Well...that's a coincidence. We couldn't have possibly known Pierce would melt down and Schloss would take A&M to the title series and A&M's AD and Schloss fall out AND we go to the SEC all at the same time. You just can't plan something like that.
