  1. It would be different if we weren't in the CFP hunt. Right now Sark is just figuring out wins to keep that alive until Ewers is back. I didn't expect Sark to play Manning against a KSU team, that's a big ask for your first game. Playing on the road against TCU or ISU also a big ask (other than mop up time, but let's face it - MM gets all the snaps he can as he needs them). That leaves Tech at home -- not happening. Anytime Ewers is ready he's back. Heck he might be dressed ready but not start (as not 100%) in any or all of the last 3 games but come in if needed.
  2. I'm all for aggy entertaining a rebuild as we enter the SEC
  3. I mean he's in like his 6th season as a starter and closing in on 20,000 yards passing. He just past Jim McMahon. He's played on some shitty teams too. He's a starter and we should boo the man for just being a big time a-hole.
  4. IF it comes down to Texas / Alabama for the 1 loss final spot, in how the committee has weighed things in the past, I don't see them giving the spot to Alabama. They'll weigh improvement, early season loss etc, but given a head to head, given it was an Alabama home game, that is going to trump everything else.
  5. Lost in this weekend was Auburn beating Vanderbilt, finally giving the aggies a win over an above 0.500 opponent this season.
  6. I guess doing everything possible to build the best program has a price limit. Certainly can't sell "whatever it takes" to recruits while Jimbo still a walking dead cast member.
  7. Lol to anyone who's thinks Sark is doing anything other than playing the QB he thinks gives the team the best chance to win the game being played.
  8. Also rumors of Le'Veon Moss possible ACL injury from Ole Miss game
  9. Yeah, crazy part of Austin is how much lower their teacher pay is too. A brand new zero experience hire in say Katy ISD is paid more than a 20 year veteran of Austin ISD.
  10. Exactly. Best defense against private school tuition raises is better public schools nearby.
  11. To add, like this year Abbott will talk about new funding for education on top of that, but that's to "cover" his add-ons... and it never does. They are adding "billions" to system this year for school security. But the amount they add to an elementary school that will be required to have an armed guard is like $30k. Our district can't currently find guards to hire at $50-60k. So the new "billions of school security funding" the state is giving out district will likely requiring eliminating a teaching position at every elementary school to cover the required expense.
  12. Abbott and his crew have already done enough damage to our district. People really don't understand (understandably) how public schools are funded in Texas. They look at their property tax increases and think more is going to their kids schools. It's not. Fixed amount per kid hasn't raised since 2019 and we would need to raise it 50% just to be "average" in the United States. It is slow killing the state.
  13. Another reason they get rid of him....built on 1st year coach excuse
  14. To add to NoName's mention, It seems awful quiet on the aggy media/team front this week. I'm actually starting to think there is a chance there are plans to can Jimbo if aggies lose this game. I think the writing is on the wall that recruiting already in a precarious position and the narrative has switched to "are the aggies going to put it all together next year" to "are the aggies going to fire jimbo next year". I think everyone is comfortably in the "he's gone, but when" camp. After this game they have two pretty much guaranteed wins before LSU. Firing him after losing this game would be clean sitting at 5-4 with a loaded roster. This week just seems "off" for billy and the boys. I actually think they may know something.
  15. Was it someone on Surly or elsewhere talking about punking a kids girlfriend of boyfriend when they came over for a holiday dinner? Doing a full level 10 prayer, twirling, etc before letting them off the hook. It was funny as hell and I've been saving it up to use myself as our family is perfectly messed up enough to pull it off.
  16. solved for everyone but the coaches trying to figure out which play number they need to send in - I thought that was 42... that was 1st qtr it's 23 now, you just called for a fake punt on 2nd down
  17. or currently be employed by a TV network that has a vested interest in the Big10. He's on the opposing team of the ESPN is pushing an agenda argument.
  18. They do need to be replaced over time as the sensors degrade (10yr is from time of manufacture, not use, so don't be buying them off ebay unless "new"), it's also why I replaced my wired ones with cheaper battery only ones.
  19. Change mine on even years when "fall back" time change. (Used to do every year but new batteries last forever and I have no need for half dozen pretty charged 9V batteries anymore)
