Tex Pete

😂 Sounds like we need a Band Dorks forum. @immamac make it so. I remember Bucky Godbolt on the radio once talking his kid playing “skin flute in the marching band.” He obviously didn’t take it as seriously as some of you.

***I do not hate the band or the effort band kids put into what they do. I have noticed that over the years, game performances have become only about practice for competitions. And what the hell is up with having electric guitars, kettle drums. and huge sound systems at a “marching band performance?”

I always used to say (maybe still do), “OK band. Y’all need to take a knee and run out the half…”

Great Longhorn! Hook ‘em!

He is a guy who should never have to start at the University of Texas.

Yeah, Bush did his job this year and I have no complaints. Glad he was not a necessity this year like he has been in the past.

Maybe there is big demand for Ketamine among NFL players. McKinnley will test the market.

I remember much discussion on Texags back in the day about what Reggie McNeal’s nickname should be. On a long-deleted thread over there, they had The Sheriff, The Real Deal, Loose Wheel, Banana Peel, and quite a few other suggestions. They finally settled on “Car Stereo Thief,” which doesn’t have a great ring to it but it was at least logical.

Ah yes. Leon is going to match wits with Lane Kiffin. That should go well.

Speaking of that, whatever happened to Brian Perroni? Did he get stuck somewhere? I must have missed it.

So: Dat Nguyen and Stephen McGee are both idiots. Nguyen put up a special flag thinking they were going to be in the thick of the national championship chase in 2022 based on what? Then Stephen McGee said the problem is that their expectations aren’t high enough. Dat Nguyen in 2022 proves that is false. Their expectations are consistently unrealistic for a mediocre program. They’ve never won anything so they should be patient and allow a coach to build his program. They can’t do that because all of their media are aggies and not neutral observers and they’re incapable of being objective since they’re emotionally invested. They immediately spin everything as pro-Aggie and try to manipulate people with the things they write and say. Their writers recruit for the school. They HAVE to toe the party line. As a result, people’s expectations are unreasonable and they panic at the least sign of failure and then push Eject and don’t give a coach a chance to work through struggles. And then repeat it all over again. Khan also should have noted that RC cheated just like Jackie Sherrill. That also adds to their being unreasonable. Their only two coaches who have tasted success since 1939 were buying players. TLDR: if they’d shut the fuck up and watch events unfold instead of beating their bird chests about every little perceived win, things would go better for them. They’re utterly incapable of doing so. Their culture is the problem.

They decided the replay was “inconclusive.” It was clear as day. They just didn’t want to end the match on that call, IMO. So very Big12 of them.

These kind of grinding wins often make a team stronger. Let’s hope it does.

The prior replay was utter bullshit. Tennessee was clearly in the net and the match was over. But y’all are welcome. I tuned in when we were losing in the previous set and we won the whole enchilada.

Just be glad Kevin Mar didn’t make the trip.

I tuned in at 23-22. Y’all can thank me.

IIRC, players/coaches get 4 or 6 each. At least they did for the 2004/2005 Rose Bowls. That alone is a lot of tickets.

His wife’s name just happens to be Peggy.

I hear this getup is available as a loaner:

That motherfucker is the Oatmeal Raisin Cookie of $9.95ers.

The Demon Deacon mascot has been offered the aggy job, so stay tuned...

Jimbo also has stacks of $100s scattered at his feet, not measly coins.

I'll just think about the fact they they haven't won shit since 1939.

The greatest rivalry game in all of football is not a "really minor thing." Playing the game in the Cotton Bowl at the Fair is what sets it apart. Aggy is so jealous that they moved their series with Arkansas to Jerryworld to copy us and failed spectacularly. Fuck anyone who wants to just play another game.

Yeah, it's in one of their songs or cheers. Life in College Station, Texas must have been boring as shit around 1900. Those idiots came up with things I would have to be delirious to even imagine. That they enshrined them as traditions, well... "Jim Bob, hurry up and change the dead dog scoreboard! Reveille can't keep up!"
