  2. I know we only beat them by 1 run in each of the games, but can we talk about how unfair it was that they got to bat 9 innings in each of the game, but we only got to bat 8!?

  3. Mackovic dipped his toes in recruiting other areas. Well, his assistants did, in any case. Ricky Williams case in point. Eric Metcalf recruited us as much as the other way around. But we've never really flexed as a national recruiting power the way other schools do because of the perception we didn't have to. There was also the fact high school coaches ran recruiting in the old days in many ways. You had to stay on their good side or you weren't going to have much of a chance with their players. A good way to piss off that fraternity was to bring in a bunch of out of state players. Everything is so transactional now. Not just NIL, although that's obviously a critical part of it. But high school coaches have seen their influence diminished by trainers, 7 on 7 programs, and other 3rd parties even before agents got involved. One of the big reasons why Texas was so fiercely opposed to A&M heading to the SEC is that as an institution Texas spent decades trying to keep the SEC out of Texas as a prominent presence. But once A&M broke that seal the floodgates were opened. We'll never go back to the days of instate schools dominating Texas recruiting. At the end of the day Texas and the coaching staff at UT do not owe their loyalty to high school coaches. Their priority is to build the best roster they can. There are going to be years where different positions of need are going to have a weak in state class. I love the idea that Sark and company have created enough in roads in hotbeds outside the borders that they can go get the best regardless of geography. There was a feeling that in the 2000s Mack Brown had an opportunity to do the same thing. The brand after 2005 had never been hotter. Vince in football, TJ Ford and especially Durant in basketball. Baseball winning a national championship. Instead he sat on his laurels and allowed Saban to take the recruiting momentum away from him while he acquired a lot of summer camp bread to build recruiting momentum, and ended up with very average classes that were overrated because the commits had "Texas" next to their name. This is honestly the best I've felt about the program in my lifetime. I was too young for the glory wishbone era. But I remember the 70s, and all the decades since. This is the best shape the program has ever been in during that time in terms of long term sustained success. It feels like this is the way it always was supposed to be, and we even got a little glimmer in the mid 2000s. But that was a mirage, and I knew it at the time. This feels good, man.

  6. I have figured out why A&M hasn't played up to projections this season, other than the simple fact that they are aggy. The names in these two bullet points piqued my curiosity. So I went and took a look at their roster, and here is my in depth analysis. They have: Caden X 2 Kaeden Kaiden Aiden Hayden X 2 Clayton Payton Gavin X 3 The coaches have no way to effectively address instruction to any individual player. It's mass confusion on the practice field.

  10. The ags have won roughly 33% of the football games they've played against Texas. But they've won 100% of the football games never played against Texas. \

  15. "Well, at home or on a neutral field, where we made just a few less errors and made a few more timely hits, and the umpires actually called a fair game and didn't ignore that his foot was obviously off the bag on that last double play out, and where Greg Sankey never let them into the SEC, and if all of their mothers had never fucked their fathers, and if Schloss had actually loved us back, we'd have beat their asses." Right.

  22. And crawfish Louisiana does not operate as smoothly as lobster Maine. Despite all of my city’s misgivings, this quote from a gentleman living in New Orleans in the 1870s is as accurate an assessment of my opinion and feelings as I could write.

  24. Not that bad. I'm in Marbella. Old ladies buying all the bread. I could only order cold tapas and you have to pay cash. Beer is getting a little warm.I need to write a strongly worded letter to the Red Electrical company. Traffic circles everywhere are the norm so traffic is ok. Worst part is internet went down at 1230 and it's just now coming back (it's 545pm now). No TV. The German school near me went to all day recess so the kids were being loud all afternoon and screaming about invading Poland and shit. They said it was heat related but only got up to about 75 today here. I had no idea this was kind of a big deal until I tried to go down the mountain where I live to eat and the internet came back on and I saw this thread. I just thought my neighborhood went out. Oh, no ice cream at the supermarket, they taped everything shut.

  25. That’s because the conservative was supposed to win but since turnip started with his 51st state shit, his numbers have nosedived to the point where he might lose tonight. This was supposed to be a cakewalk for the Canadian conservatives

  28. On 4/28/98 I took my last drink somewhere around 3 am. On that same day, I picked up my third desire chip at a noon meeting, got a sponsor, worked the steps in three months, had a spiritual awakening, and have not had another drink of alcohol since. At age 72, I am forever grateful to the members here and at my home group, the Harbor Club in Fort Worth, for showing me a design for living that has exceeded every result I had hoped for in life. Thanks be to the God of my understanding for these blessings and for those who have been so encouraging throughout this journey.
