  1. Like Mack versus OU, this team needs to come out aggressive. But still, moving the chains is the key. We were miserable at sustaining drives in the first half of the last game. Can’t do that today.
  2. It is hilarious to me that they cannot grasp: a. Nobody gives a shit about Texas A&M. They beat their bird chests but no one in America cares. b. They don't have more money than we do and they never have, despite their false claims. c. They are paying a former coach more than they're paying their current coach because they wanted to hire a coach they could brag about (sitting NC head coach), they paid him way too much money (since he had already failed at FSU), and they extended him for even more absurd money and then were stupid enough to guarantee it. It was just one terrible decision after another. d. All that sunk cost makes it harder for them to make NIL offers with money they don't have. e. The oldest Aggie tradition: making one terrible decision after another.
  3. I'd like to think my Poooooooooor aggies! post contributed something.
  4. The kid can play. I know one of their starters, so I have watched them a little bit. The team was better than their record this year, IMO. I was also surprised Mendenhall was coaching there. New Mexico is often on TV after most games are over.
  5. Landon Rink?! Holy shit!
  6. And they have been focusing on the lines, especially DL, since Elko arrived with Jimbo. It hasn't done much for them. They're a second rate program.
  7. They have to have the athletes to stop it (or we have to miss blocks). Georgia has the athletes to stop it.
  8. There are a lot of cons to sitting him, as well as pros for it. I would assume Sarkisian doesn't want to put Arch into this kind of environment as a starter yet, and he also doesn't want to create more psychological issues for Ewers. I would assume there will be an Arch package like there was last week, which also leaves the door open for Arch to play more is Sarkisian deems it necessary. I am ok with that.
  9. The field position thing was the biggest factor. I think we kill ourselves by running plays at or behind the LOS and then throwing 49 yards downfield (and missing). That leads to far too many 3 and outs. Yes, hitting a quick TD would be huge, but we consistently do not do that. We need to focus on the next first down until we get in an offensive rhythm. Our mediocre punting just underscores the necessity of getting first downs. Seems to me that we don’t throw nearly enough 5-7 yard passes.
  10. From my desk in central Texas: LONGHORNS!
  11. It seems strangely fitting to me that The Tacklebox is the only stadium in America that has created a black market for plastic bottle caps. “Psssst. Howdy. Over here… Hey, pisshead zip, I’ll sell you a sixer of Aquafina caps if you’ll just whip out and let me saw Varsity’s horns off…if you know what i mean. And I think you do. I was on the national championship meat judging team of ‘04. I know my meat, so let me see yours.”
  12. They don’t. I think they misheard Jim Valvano’s famous line as “Never shut up. Never, EVER shut up.”
  13. When the Kream and Kow Klub sodomized Bevo, I’m guessing.
  14. Nooooooo! Mack?! Nooooooooo!
  15. Oh, Graham….shut the fuck up. I’ll pull your underwear over your head and shove your stupid ass into one of the Kyle Field sewage settling ponds.
  16. I don’t see Cornyn’s affront to all sensible Texans as political in any way. But you do you.
  17. Good on our athletic department. Justice was served.
  18. Kirby probably threw a fit.
  19. That's pretty tough to do when you play as many FCS teams as they do.
  20. Yep. Aggies insist upon themselves. The crowd was going to win them the game. Until it didn't. They're the best fans ever. But they aren't actually. They're the friendliest fans ever. Except that's demonstrably false. The coolest traditions. Did you watch the yell boys and see the words to their song at the beginning of the broadcast Saturday? I will pass. It's the greatest environment anywhere. But it's a total freakshow. The best homefield advantage in the country. Except the stats don't lie. People actually believe those things because they listen to how much aggies talk about them. None of them are true. They're all self-aggrandizement from a fanbase that has never enjoyed success in anything that matters or is measurable. Stop listening to them. The media buys into it because they're never seen anything like it. And because aggies have to tell you all about them. I have been to an aggie-Sam Houston State game. It was not a special environment at all. It was just like a Texas-UTSA game, just with a lot more goobers per capita. And we don't play FCS teams like aggies do. My guess is that Minute Bull is an aggie fan who just exposed himself (not in the Tate Pittman or Aki Ogunbiyi way). Because they can''t help themselves.
  21. Glad to see our players stand up and speak out for their brother. Aggie fans are low-class. That sign was not the least bit surprising to me.
  22. Robert, Stop me if you've heard this: Poooooooooor aggies. Poooooooooor aggies. Poooooooooor aggies. Poooooooooor aggies.
  23. Nah. Fuck him. And fuck OU.
