  1. I asked the question and @Al_4_ISU was nice enough to answer me. I truly didn't know what it specifically related to and I'm glad I have this info going forward. I'll miss ISU and KSU, as I respect both schools and most of the fans I've meet since they joined us in the creation of the Big XII. Both teams are a tough out and play hard. I'd take ISU to go with us in a heartbeat, but I get why that won't happen. I hope ISU or OSU win the conference the year after we leave it. While I'm hoping though, I hope Baylor collapses into a sinkhole... due to some construction site mishap involving Chip and/or Joanna while renovating another shitty Waco house.
  2. What is this and what does it mean? Just two agriculture schools playing each other or is it something deeper? Or, do you just prefer when your school plays another "farm" school?
  3. This sounds like the Jim Gaffigan bit about vacations... “...Why don’t we eat something, then we’ll go get something to eat? Then we should see that thing we’re supposed to see; they probably have a snack bar, so we can get something to eat. But after that, we definitely gotta go out and get something to eat.”
  4. Damn, FCB, is looking rough these days. I hadn't seen a picture of him in a minute, and those bags under the eyes tell a better story than he writes.
  5. @immamac, I got the Ad AIDS as well. 🫡
  6. Sorry, just catching up. 😂
  7. …click, click, click, click, click…
  8. I (and other neighborhood kids) used to play with a huge family of them that lived in some cedar trees in the yard of a neighbor on our street in Round Rock, TX from 1982-1991, then the ants just wiped them out and haven’t seen any since then. My BIL caught one not too long ago in west Texas but it feels like they are all but gone around here.
  9. So...who's it going to be, now that the Beard era is over at Texas? Please, please, be someone that is good and doesn't have weak ass shit moments like Beard. What an absolute waste. 🤬🤘
  10. Legit, lol. Good job! I guess we’ll test this theory when we join the conference. 😁 Jet Black with the chef’s kiss. ❤️
  11. ...until the fire ants moved in.
  12. My 72 year old father still mentions that game and the "one game" bullshit to this day when we watch Texas play. I still remember him being just as confused and just as pissed when he realized. 🤘Hook'em, Coach Gus! #GusBall
  13. “Sarge” incarnate.
  14. That’s me, dude! 🤘🏼
  15. I have no idea what rep actually gets you, but I AM JUST AS PISSED OFF WE DON'T GET MOAR!!!!!! Also, this class seems to have potential to "Fuck." and I'm very gruntled. 🤘 ps - suck it aggy.
  16. Ok, point taken. Let's consider this as if it was a job offer, because that's basically what it is. There are always going to be candidates that will or won't accept travel as part of the job. Those that won't usually don't apply and if they do are not likely to get out of the travel. A good hiring manager will discuss that part of the position with the candidate before the offer is even made. That being said, it may be a point of contention, but it's a small point and not one that most in line to accept the offer would care about. Ask a 18-22 year old kid if they'd mind traveling around the country doing what they love for the next 3-4 years on someone else's dime and see if they have an issue with it. Let us know what you find out.
  17. She’s a smoke show! 🤘🏼
  18. Holy shit this is funny!! 🤣🤘🏼
  19. Rinse, Repeat. Honestly, as a fan, you kind of have to unless you just completely give in and leave.
  20. This first screenshot made me legit lol, so thanks for that, random 247 poster. The second one that was just a few posts away from the one that made me lol is the chef's kiss of their delusion. Let's break it down... Having a former HC on staff will motivate the current HC to do better. Has this really ever happened? It's possible, but I would expect this to be the exception to the rule. It's not likely that a former HC is going to push the current HC, unless the former HC is young and motivated. We know that in most cases, former HC up in years do not suddenly find that fire they had, particularly when they have plenty of money in the bank. Also, HC's have huge egos and could give a shit what their assistant coach thinks they should do. The former HC will be motivated to get another head coaching position. Actually, most former HC that are in the position that Petrino is in, are just happy to have a job in general. Like one of the posters said, this is a gift if they hire Petrino, and Petrino knows it. Dude will smile all the way to the bank, just like Jimbo is doing. Plus, Petrino is 61 and Kiffin is 47. IT's not that big in the grand scheme, but that is a world of difference in the coaching profession and to recruits. Not sure why everyone is getting their panties in a twist if they hire Petrino. See reasons listed above, but honestly it's because those people realize the implications and writing on the wall. College football is moving at the speed of light, at the moment, and this hire has the potential to keep their program down even longer. I have an aggy buddy that keeps telling me Jimbo understands he HAS to make a change or else. I asked him what the "or else" means since Jimbo doesn't have to do a thing and will still get paid either way, and he says that the people in charge will start to apply pressure. So, I ask what will that do? How would you motivate Jimbo or apply pressure if you were A&M AD? "Well, you just got to tell him... that we have higher expectations for his teams and outcomes." Again though, what is his motivation to do something or better? Reputation, maybe? Crickets.
  21. In most instances it doesn't matter, but sometimes it does, and it's really nice to have it when you need it. There's good reasons some don't make it at more prestigious programs, and sometimes those reasons manifest themselves during trials/negotiations. Back on track. Football is a sport The University of Texas participates in. 😁
