  1. Watching them from heaven?
  2. And anyway, even if Jerry didn’t fire him technically, Jerry also hired fucking Barry Switzer. That closed the door on my Cowboys fan chapter. Looking back on it, it seems sorta stupid since Barry is kind of a hoot. But he may as well have been the antichrist while he was at OU.
  3. True! If your players had just been a LITTLE BETTER you wouldn’t be asking these questions. We are down and all, but it’s nice knowing we still live in your head. Gracias
  4. 34215
  5. I remember hearing that Phil had been a kicker and an OL at Lake Highlands. So when he got to Texas, he kept working out with the OL there, too. Always thought that was awesome. He must have looked like a dwarf.
  6. Nobody mentioned a coelenterate recently. Which is unusual and alarming, because generally this place is full of them. It implies that the usual hand wringing and spineless whimpering is justified.
  7. They would christen it the battleship Texas Aggie
  8. I would love to have a drink with W. Most of us would, and I think he was a good guy in over his head as President. I feel sorta the same way about Switzer. But then I remember that he was the antichrist to me as a child growing up. And then I recall that I was always a Cowboys fan, until the moment that fucking Jerry hired him. Fucking Switzer. And my love and enjoyment of pro football was over, to this day. my love for Texas comes first. Always. Fuck that guy. And fuck Jerry. I’m on the CTJ team on this one. He might be fun, but fuck him. How anyone can praise and respect DKR and what he did here and the legacy that he left and still have no perspective on Switzer is beyond me. That dude sucks. He may be fun, but he sucks.
  9. Agree on your points. It's something that they sell to recruits over there, I'm sure. Fewer snaps, less wear and tear, preserving bodies for the League. It's a good argument for them because it can exist outside of the "our record is better than yours" sort of discussions.
  10. Texas defended almost 200 more plays last season than aggy. That defensive plays stat is really the biggest single reason why Jimbo had a decent first season over there.
  11. I worked with some buddies in the Physics Lab in RLM. We used to go in there after hours and play Doom deathmatches all night long. Had to scoot out of there real quick when the profs started coming in the next morning. This was early 1994, when networked computers weren't so common. It was sweet
  12. Pretty sure Kerstetter got a RS this past season.
  13. These arguments brings us full circle to the FUPM years.
  14. Lots of good ones. I always liked Pale Rider.
  15. Every time we have another school shooting, I'm reminded that the gun control debate in America isn't a debate at all. When we stand by and collectively watch our children murdered and do nothing, there is no debate.
  16. Catholics aren't Christians?
  17. That's one dumbass kid. I was our deep snapper in high school. One time we were playing Fox Tech (doesn't exist anymore) and after I snapped the ball the guy who was head up on me knocked me on my ass and proceeded to choke the shit out of me under my facemask. I swear I almost passed out. That was fun.
  18. It should come as no real surprise that I work in an actual cave. That morning I got up and was pulling on my boots and watching GMA. They knew that a plane had flown into the fist tower and were speculating on the whole thing, and I was thinking that it was likely a small plane with a suicidal pilot. They showed the tower then, and since I have never been to NYC and seen how BIG the towers were, that only confirmed my thinking. Some little plane. Right. So I clicked off the TV and went to work. As I was heading down into the cave, one of our receptionists came in and told me that BOTH towers had been hit by airliners. I told her that she was full of crap (which was usually true) and went underground. I'd been down there working for a little while when one of our employees came through and said that the Pentagon had been hit. Shortly afterward, a tour came through the cave. I still hadn't seen a TV, and I said the lamest, stupidest thing to the tourists: "Welcome to apparently the safest place in America right now," meaning the cave of course. They all gave me blank stares. I got out of the cave and into the visitor center as just as the first tower fell. My overwhelming feeling was sadness. Not just for that day and all of the people affected, but because I knew deep down that the United States of America was going to war somewhere. We didn't know where at the time, but I knew with total certainty that we would and that when we did, a whole lot more people would die.
  19. Got damn. I hate Aggie success as much as anyone, but you idiots throwing shade on their play tonight need to get a fucking clue. They played their asses off on national tv, and we struggled with fucking Tulsa. And
  20. Man, sorry that you are going through all of this. Divorce, job stuff, and your mother passing. Wow. There are rarely any words, especially from a stranger, that can offer much solace in dark times. Nevertheless, my former father in law offered me some one time, and they have always held true for me. He said, "Something terrible happens and you feel empty, like you might die. And then the next day you get up again and that feeling goes away a little bit. And then you get up weeks after that and the feeling is a little less still. And then months and years go by and you might still have that pit in the bottom of your stomach when you recall those days, but you can live again, and enjoy things, and love again." I strongly believe that we are put here to love each other and help each other, even when that means helping each other along to the next good place. You are doing that for your mom. Mad props.
  21. CDC also took down the signs in front of Occupy Left Field (no real benefit to anyone in the University but the players, who have some noisy fans out there) , in addition to lowering concession prices in DKR. This guy is on the right track as much as any AD at Texas can be, IMO.
  22. The aggies I work with feel EXACTLY the same way. I cheer for the inevitable roller coaster disaster every season, but I’m gonna be surly as all hell if and when it goes down this season.
  23. Here in Comal County, bucks are still in their bachelor herds. Running together until they start running tail.
  24. I sort of wish we'd build a proper pen or corral for him in the stadium and not put him in a corner.
