  1. "Yeah, my Dad was shaking down my team for 3 million bucks. They're rich, and I'm awesome and all, but they didn't come across." Unabashed cheater -- check Overestimates own importance -- check Overestimates his school -- check Throws Dad under bus for reputation and potential criminal liability -- check Give him a sheep and a brass instrument without a mouthpiece, and he's certified red-ass.
  2. At a minimum it would be nice to see Miami bleed OU by driving up the price.
  3. Over the last dozen years, the Aggies have won exactly 8 games 50% of the time. Over that span, they have deviated more than one win from that total exactly once: 5 in 2022.
  4. We make fun of people all the time for being Aggies, and that is an even more debilitating, often inherited, neurological disorder.
  5. Even if there were collective bargaining, it might be quite difficult to force athletes playing for schools in right-to-work states like Texas to surrender their NIL opportunities.
  6. In summary: 1. Communications degrees from Texas and Duke open doors, but 2. not as many as degrees from Harvard, and 3. not as many as being a successful starting QB. 4. Also, OU has no receivers, and 5. Subjects of relative clauses take subjective/nominative forms.
  7. The good news is that we might actually have already played our toughest two games of the season. UGA prior to injuries sustained against us just might have been better than the teams we'll see in the playoffs.
  8. And if we win out, in addition to that we will have beaten at least two of the P4 conference champions and possibly all 4.
  9. I haven't read the whole thread (yet?) but wanted to post an observation: Sports-media figures like to track streaks. With a 12-team field, significant playoff-appearance streaks will be possible. As the only returning team from last year's field, we are in position to own the longest playoff streak for as long as we stay good.
  10. A&M was built on DL and running the ball. Moss is out for the year, and their DL (among others) is out the door. This may be an epic cripple fight.
  11. Maybe the big schools need to run intramural football and recruit for their UIL teams from their own farm leagues.
  12. Surprisingly, there is actually a canyon in the middle of the panhandle.
  13. It looked like the defender lowered his head to me. That is dangerous to both players. I saw forceful contact above the shoulders. They did not incidentally brush face masks as on the no-call that so infuriated the Aggies. To me it was not a close call. Whether the QB moves his head a little does not justify, excuse, or mitigate a lowered-helmet approach high on a defenseless player.
  14. Trying to decide who should be ranked higher in these situations is analogous to arguing over what the top floor is in an Escher work.
  15. If only there were a (RS) freshman on the team who could (in obviously a different way) fill that awesome-QB leader role.
  16. Aggies like to claim that the origin of the name Bevo for our mascot comes from their branding a bovine they did not own without permission and not with the brand of the owner. Do they consider this more in the vein of lying, animal cruelty, or merely garden-variety felonious behavior? I am curious what part of the myth appeals to them most.
  17. Perfusionist?
  18. Is "xitter" pronounced with a "sh" sound for the "x?"
  19. Other shared characteristics: 1) Neither can explain to outsiders the logic behind aggy turditions 2) Both schools having winning records at Kyle Field 3) They have November symmetry: aggy didn't beat an FBS opponent this November, and Texas didn't lose to one. 4) Both aggy and Longhorn faithful were overjoyed when A&M hired Fisher as HFBC 5) Both schools helped Duke with QB/HFBC transfers this year 6) Both schools have fight songs about The University of Texas
  20. Friend of Kittley's mom (no pics, yes that makes my source 11th-hand) says Coach Joey has been over-ruling the offensive game plan and trying to help/compensate for his defense until the last two games. He finally gave up on helping his defense and took the cuffs off Kittley after Colorado.
  21. Kansas would beat Bama and lose to MSU
