Cool, cool. Guess what, guys? Medicare for all isn't a big deal because the trillions in cost are spread out over millions and millions of taxpayers.

Backstory cut and paste from another site.... "Back story. This was in the alumni section. An elderly couple left their seats behind this guy and two USC bros showed up and sat in them. USC guys were obnoxiously drunk. When the couple returned to their seats, they told USC bros that they were in their seats and the bros started yelling at them. One of the bros took a swing at the older guy. This guy was in the row in front and he grabbed the guy who threw the fist and told him "I'm going to let you go but just leave" When he let the punk go the guy came at him and the UT guy went off on him like you see in the video. The guy did just about what anyone would do. He didn't start the fight, but he sure ended it."

'we were fronting the costs of the video' 🤔

Counterpoint:

What a nut. Reads like a damn Derka post.

Pretty much par for the course.

Hamm from his Facebook group Please Read: I want to address the rumors circulating around myself and Ryan Brauninger over at TexAgs. It’s a bit of a layered issue so stick with me as I provide a very detailed and accurate account. I have to give some background on a few things first before I get to Thursday night but before I do I want to make it very clear that this was not a post I wanted to make. I’ve had a great working relationship with TexAgs for months and I keep in frequent contact with Liucci and Hop. Unfortunately, I have to provide some facts that shouldn’t have to be made public but an attack on my character has been made and details floating out there are flat-out inaccurate. Let me start with explaining my relationship with Brauninger. Like most employees at TexAgs, I feel like he’s had a negative opinion of me from the moment he got in the industry. We’re both very competitive and passionate guys, so I understand the natural rivalry since we are competing for information. There’s also an added grudge that he had towards me that I didn’t learn about until it came to light last Thursday that I’ll get into here shortly. I’m very selective about who I trust in this industry because over my ten years of doing this I’ve been burned a lot, so I keep my circle small. Not to digress into TexAgs’ past with me but it’s worth noting once again that this is a site that had to fire an employee for fabricating quotes from a story I did (Jacob Kristen made up quotes from my story on Wole Betiku), had another employee start the Steven Parker myth (Brice Jones), and have allowed a lot of nasty and personal things said about me on their website over the years. I don’t want to lose track of my purpose here but there’s so much more I’ll eventually go into detail about one day. I just wanted to set the tone about how Brauninger has never tried to form a relationship with me like he has with other analysts because of the reasons above. This summer at the Aggies’ summer camp, I was standing outside the indoor facility with Brian Perroni, who I’m still very close with to this day, when Brauninger walks up. He begins to make small talk with Perroni and I wanted to use that opportunity to extend a handshake and give a peace offering. Perroni can account for what happened next. Brauninger looked at my hand and told me, “I’m not shaking your fucking hand.” I let it go and didn’t think about it again. I did call Hop and Liucci to let them know that I tried to be the bigger man but that I got a disgusting response from Ryan. They said they were going to talk to him but apparently it didn’t work. Fast-forward to week one of TXHSB, when I went to Atascocita vs Katy Taylor. Brauninger was out there as well. After the game, I interviewed Kenyon Green. I was using my phone to interview so my back was turned to what happened next. During my interview, Brauninger is behind me flexing and grabbing his TexAgs shirt and flashing it to Kenyon, essentially trying to distract him. Kenyon did a good job of holding it together for me and finished the questions but it was extremely unprofessional. I didn’t say anything to him and let it go. That gets us to Thursday night when I go to see Demond Demas and Javonne Shepherd. I’m running a few minutes late to the game and I walk in the gates and Branuniger is talking to Mike Craven from the AAS. He’s staring me down as I walk up to the field so I asked him what his problem was and that’s when he began to get in my face and lay into me about what he’d been holding in for a long time. Brauninger graduated from McNeese St. and went to grad school at A&M. While at McNeese, he played baseball with Matt Fontenot, who was brought on by Sumlin to be his director of operations a few years ago. Getting back to Thursday, Brauninger got visibly upset about an open records request that I did over a year ago and let me hear it. Open records requests are not uncommon, reporters do them all the time, and my intention for doing this one had absolutely nothing to do with Fontenot or Brauninger. Fontenot was on the list of people I had on there because I was canvassing the entire athletic department. Apparently, Fontenot had to hand over some sensitive information about his personal life and he told Brauninger. These two are very close. In fact, Brauninger is the Godparent to Matt’s kids. Brauninger laid into me about how Matt didn’t get the same job under Jimbo Fisher and somehow was trying to correlate that my open records request was the reason he didn’t get the same job under a new regime. Back to the game, the Athletic Director saw Brauninger and I on the sideline and asked us to take it outside. We walked out into the parking lot and that’s when cooler heads prevailed. We got in our vehicles and went around the corner and talked it out like adults. We got everything off our chests and then went back and apologized to the athletic director. He accepted our apology and said we’re welcome back any time but tonight we’re sitting this one out. I told Brauninger that we needed to go find a spot and sit down and talk more so we found a local place and had a great talk. We literally left hugging. As far as I'm concerned, Brauninger and I are good. Brauninger was very concerned that he was going to go back to College Station without an interview with Demond Demas. At the time, I was still the only site to have quotes because of my relationship with Rischad Whitfield. I called Rischad Whitfield, who was at the game, and had him make sure Demas called Brauninger that night. He did, and that’s how Ryan was able to get his story out. Typically, they do on-camera interviews, so it backs me up when their story is just quotes. I even gave Ryan Demas’ number to lock in. I wanted to do the right thing after our talk. This ended up being a great thing that needed to happen. Obviously not on the sidelines, and I really couldn’t get out of the way of his approach, but I could have walked away right when it happened. That was a mistake. Brauninger called Liucci to tell him what happened and that’s where things went sideways with TO98. Liucci then called Rush to alert him instead of calling me. Rush reached out to Craven, who is also friends with Brauninger, to corroborate the story. Perroni was there but was on the opposite side of the field. Those were their witnesses. Essentially, the guys I work with took the story third-hand from my competitors, and I never got a chance to defend myself. Nor did they believe me when I tried. They did ask me not to say anything to Brauninger about the Kenyon Green incident, but this was not able to be avoided and I was perfectly capable of smoothing things about with Ryan like an adult which I did. I don’t understand why and probably never will get the full story. Over the past few weeks, Rush has been in frequent contact with Liucci and the CEO of FanReact went to College Station before our launch at TO98 to mend their relationship but didn’t include me. In my opinion, that would have been a great opportunity to sit down with everyone at TexAgs and mend relationships with everyone in their office, especially Ryan. There’s more to this story. FanReact CEO Buckner actually approached TexAgs a while back about white-labeling their product and getting into other college markets. Per Buckner, TexAgs stole their idea and that’s how F5 Productions started that David Sandhop now manages. That’s just one side of the story but that’s all I can offer up. I add that tidbit because my bosses essentially believed a group of people, including my competitors, that they had major issues with, stole their idea from, and wanted to take down, over me. Obviously the incident wasn’t bad enough for TexAgs to fire Brauninger. They are of course going to make sure they back their employees but I didn’t get that same courtesy. Logan Lee actually called Buckner this past week and was trying to spread rumors that I had cost A&M Malik Hornsby. I will absolutely defend Buckner here because he laid into Logan Lee after Malik showed up to our offices later that day to storyboard his commitment video. I had everything under control and I was allowed the exclusive because of my relationships with the people closet Hornsby and we were fronting the costs of the video. Again, more TexAgs meddling. I hold no grudge but there’s a common theme here. There’s been a lot of people who have taken advantage of me during a very vulnerable time in my life. Very personal stuff about my life has been made very public. The picture others have painted about me, mostly done by my competitors and their subscribers, often has me guilty before proven innocent in every situation rumored about me. I’m aware how my past internet persona has perpetuated that but that doesn’t dismiss these facts. I never wanted to get this detailed but I’m not going to let others continue to push this false narrative about me and this current situation. That’s all for now. Thank you all for your continued support. Gig’Em!

Everyone is turning on Hamm. Hamm, I know you're reading this. Now's the time to come to Jesus, lets air all of Texags dirty laundry, mee-maw's shriveled up ovaries that were left out on the table overnight, the cash payouts to recruits and players from aggy coaches.....let it all out here on Surly. We'll go to bat for you, we've got the resources you need to get you back on top. Say it with me, hello six figure payout, hello respect and admiration from the recruiting world. It can all be yours. Embrace the Surly. Be the Surly. Like Ty Webb once said, "me winning isn't. You do."

If there's one thing Taylor Hamm definitely doesn't need, its a shrink.

I fixed some stuff for Hamm

Good evening to everyone who isn't a pussy sooner or an aggy in general. Also fuck off to those who think the sky is falling. It's not. We still have work to do, but this victory just showed them they can and will win. Fuck TCU (their cheerleaders literally), fuck OU, and fuck anyone else in our way to the playoffs. God I love drinking.

yeah this is me. mother fuckers talked shit then tried to talk shit to my wife and i wasn't having any of it. mother fuckers can go back to cali and eat shit.

Can I get you some chili cheese sour cream gravy fries? Maybe an A&M recruiting update? Trust the Hamm!

It's a bad poll. There's no two ways about it. I'd much rather the poll show my guy up 9 than down 9. That's obvious. But it should be equally obvious that it's one poll. It's one poll that is at variance with about three other polls. And does anybody think that this race went from an R+3 race to an R+9 race over the course of the last two weeks? Is there anything that would explain that? It seems clear to me that this is a function of Quinnipiac's likely-voter screen. They're a good polling outfit, so I'm not going to second-guess their methodology. But I'm also not going to panic until I see some confirmation.

I believe we’ve established a firm “Don’t FB up the CR!” rule to maintain civility in here.

The last presidential election made it very obvious it does matter who you vote for.

Nah. He’s gonna wear his wedding ring.

[Training montage:] [Cut to]

Even if she had spoken up, would she have been believed? She would have been blamed for drinking and putting herself in a situation where this could happen. Good girls shouldn't be at parties with boys and shouldn't be drink at these parties with the boys and if you flirted with the boy, then you just asked for it. At 16 she was scared and I don't blame her. Even now when she did say something it's a bunch of excuses of what she should have done and then she's being harassed and doxxed online. We didn't talk about these things back then. Hopefully with the me too movement more women will speak up when this happens and not be intimidated into silence.

I can't help but laugh at the R's complaining about the process after what they did with Garland. D leadership sat on this nugget until the very last second because they knew Trump would only get one nomination hearing before the mid-terms. It was good, smart politics. The question is whether someone should receive a lifetime appointment now in a rushed fashion now that the proverbial cat is out of the bag. The answer is unequivocally no. It should be NO whether its an R nominee or a D nominee. So obviously the Rs are going to pretend to hear both sides as they take pot shots at an alleged sexual assault victim and then try to rush everything to a vote. The alternative is a nomination trying to get through the new Senate post mid-terms. I agree with everyone else though that if anyone puts him at this party his nomination should be voted down. IMHO there are so many brilliant legal minds in this country both on the R side and the D side. WE don't need a Supreme Court nominee with perjury issues and/or sexual assault allegations when we can have one without. WE as a country don't need to rush this is if this is still the guy the President wants.

Put your hand over her mouth, turn the music up loud and have your buddy man the door while you force yourself on her and your ass belongs in jail, period. Pay the fuck attention. Lie under oath about jizz on a dress you get impeached. This asshole lied about involvement in the politicalization of the court when he was with GW and vetting judicial candidates. It’s arguable that sexual indiscretions (Clinton) are germane to POTUS it’s undebatable that impartiality is paramount to the job of SCOTUS. Both perjured themselves and one about the core job requirement. Read the fucking 10 commandments y’all demand be hung on every public space from schools to oh I don’t know.... COURT HOUSES? And, and, and.... the woman apparently talked about the incident with her therapist years ago and those papers may come out. She’s willing to testify and came forward. You’re god damned right it happened and he’s lucky the statute has run and she was scared of him. PTL for PTSD. Hallelujah!! Fuck this guy. Franken was sunk and I reluctantly agreed and so should this guy but this one is easy. No fucking more.

Black girls.

With Ehlinger, Rising, Thompson, Johnson, and Card not worried about the QB position.

Some things, like boiling hot lava, can't be handled, it seems

One thing to call out here is that if you guys want to get serious about getting the aggie boosters masquerading as fan sites owners and admins investigated, the NCAA will listen to well-documented arguments regarding violations. You'd have to show proof that they're actual boosters who donate money to the school, and they're also providing benefits to recruits that give ATM an unfair recruiting advantage. If you wanted to pursue this correctly, consider taking it offline and organizing in some capacity. Tossing wistful missives out on a UT board brings nothing to the table though.

Obama phone?

Hey, @6FigsHandler... You did a bad job handling.

SIAP: Bru McCoy's mom enjoyed herself:

So what do you seriously do if you're at a game and your team scores a td He folds laundry

How does the confirmation process in any way resemble a trial? Kavanaugh is at no risk of being locked up, fined, enjoined, or any other form of government compulsion. Unlike our constitutional rights, which are at issue in a trial, it is not Kavanagh's right to be on the Supreme Court. The rules are all self-imposed by the Senate, not statute or the Constitution. With Garland, the Senate didn't even give him a hearing, much less a vote! By your logic, I suppose, Garland was effectively given life in prison without a trial? Senators are free to vote against Kavanaugh simply because they think he's a schmuck. It's a political process that is left for the voters to resolve in evaluating their Senators. That said, the populace generally wants a reasonable evaluation of nominees. My personal standard would be something along the lines of, is there a substantial likelihood, based on the evidence, that he did this? If so, I'd move on to another nominee, even if I'm not convinced of his guilt.

I liked the part where he tried to be the bigger man.

Literally no one is saying this you disingenuous piece of shit.

Until you’ve loved And lost The way Frank has...

He always puts the water weight back on fairly quickly. Then adds a few pounds of fat to be sure.

I don’t agree with everything Herman does but think you’re 100% full of shit here.

Basically, USC ass-whoopings were the theme of the night.
