Aggy ain’t shit. They have no ingredients to be anything. They are a second hand program and they don’t want to believe it which make them delusional. Even if they win something they’re still second rate. Money doesn’t change that. 

They have more honor and integrity than any group who has ever inhabited Earth. Just ask them.

I like the aggy who are self aware.

The dark humor can get pretty good in bad times over there. Or, when people recognize they're in bad times. Otherwise, these guys are told to grow a pair and go back to Asstin.

Oh, and this:

Haha. It’s actually references the least Asian thing ever. I left UT without my degree missing only the Freshman History and Government requirements on my course catalog. So when I signed up for Hornfans I figured I was a Texas Ex minus 6 hours. The career I had didn’t really require a degree so I just didn’t bother.

I did end up finishing and graduating 17 years later after I had my first kid. Just to set a good example. So I’m class of 2010 but entered college in 1988. Reading textbooks and writing essays when you’re about to turn 40 sucks.

Holy shit…I had a version that dream at least once a month for 20 years after I graduated.

3) Tito Beveridge, that rat bastard, is giving Texas anything they want for NIL. - We've been through this and the complete fallacy of it. As we predicted, it's now fact.

Disappointed and surprised they’re not melting down worse. At a minimum they should be crying their eyes out about the runner interference call. 
 

I’ll be patient. I’m sure Brauny is writing 10,000 words on why it wasn’t runner interference/t-sip conspiracy theories.

I feel ya, man. A friend of ours just moved here a few years back from a former Soviet bloc country (if I say the name, the memes will get outta hand). He was a lawyer there, and he's gone to USC night school plus studying for the bar. He's coming up on attempt #3 soon. So take your problem, add a decade in age, and sprinkle on some "not my first language" fun in there, and you've got yourself a fun ol time.

Good for you. For coming back and finishing.

But sorry dude, you blew it.

My favorite story about UT having big classes:

I took Government as a freshman ('74-75), like you're supposed to, with about 250-350 other undergrads in Burdine Auditorium. That was long enough ago that the Prof (not a TA) did a lecture on each US President. Jefferson & Lincoln were inspiring. He did FDR from a wheelchair.  I told my friend about this guy and told him you have to come hear his last lecture on Nixon. I wasn't the only one. The 500+ seat auditorium was packed, standing room only. "Nixon was the most corrupt ... The end." got the Prof a standing ovation. In a freshman Government class.

It would have been criminal and a huge waste of resources to have him speaking to a group of 20-25 students. His lecture inspired me to go see all of Nixon's cronies that went on the speakers tour at LBJ Library. The last one being Senator "Sam" Ervin, Dem. NC, (chair,  Senate Select Committee to Investigate Campaign Practices, also known as the Senate Watergate Committee). That was also a packed house so I knew to get there early.

That's my bookends on taking Government at The University of Texas v. ACC or High School credit.

What I heard cemented my beliefs on HS recruiting, and my disdain for all things OU, A&M & from what I knew, Alabama.

Little known fact. Burdine Hall resembles a ForTran computer punch card.

  My scholarship paid for the Freshman Orientation week; yes, I slept in Kinsolving for a week. Hasn't everyone? UT did a multi-media slide/video show at Burdine Auditorium to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, a cloud of sweet smoke waifing though the air, and afterward we went to Nothing Strikes Back for ice cream in their Black Light/day glow dark room ("When the munchies strike... Nothing Strike Back").

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

Every time I hear Pink Floyd takes me back to 1974.

Good Times & fond memories.

Turkic peoples like the Kazakhs, Uyghurs, etc. and Mongols are ethnolinguistically different, but they share a ton of cultural heritage and history. Both have a mix of east and west Eurasian features.

The Oghuz Turks first migrated westward into Central Asia, bringing their entire herds with them. A Persianized branch known as the Seljuk Turks then continued further west into Persia, defeated the Abbasid Caliphate and conquered Baghdad, then defeated the Byzantines at Manzikert to move into Anatolia. Genghis Khan then began his campaigns of conquest, and his grandson Hulagu Khan later sacked Baghdad. The Mongol empire ruled over primarily Turkic subjects, and subsequent rulers and dynasties identified themselves as Turco-Mongols (including the Timurid Empire, the Kazakh Khanate, and the Mughal Empire). Meanwhile, the non-Mongol Turks who were in Anatolia rose as the Ottomans, cut off from their Central Asian brethren by the Safavid Empire which re-took Persia.

If you really want to go deep into the weeds, look at the impact the spread and adoption of gunpowder firearms had on this paradigm. The Ottomans used cannons to conquer Constantinople and enter Europe, the Safavids used musketeers to defeat the Uzbeks, and the Mughals deployed formations of firearm-wielding infantry and artillery to defeat the Afghans and Rajputs and conquer India - all within a single generation.

Well, aggy certainly doesn't.

But be warned: There are Plan II grads about these parts. Nerding out over Mongol westward expansion may occur.

Khan's open attitude towards technology is one of the things Michael Prawdin cites as one of the key elements of Mongol military success.

Prawdin's history of the Mongols also gave us one of the legendary scenes of cinema:

It's right there on page 90. None of Howard's stories had this scene.

Kazakhs are nice people, even with the reticence that lingers in older generations from having lived under Soviet security.

My youngest son is Kazakh. He was the only surviving member of his family, and we adopted him.

Yeah. What can I say? I screwed up by living off Riverside immediately in the Freshman year. I lived with my brother but an 18-year-old kid needing a 45-minute bus ride to get to a random assortment of 8am classes was never going to work out well. I just flailed around for the first couple years and went on SchoPro twice. I was just happy to still be in school and not getting beaten with wooden cooking spoons for failing out.
