  1. I hadn't tested positive for Covid this whole time, until Wednesday. I've had a couple of colds that I thought might be it, and more contact cases than I can recall, but never tested positive until this week. No idea where I got it, because the only person that I know who currently has it was my GM at work who tested positive Monday, and I only saw her momentarily from a distance, and was never in close contact. My case was pretty mild, with Thursday being the roughest because the fatigue kinda kicked my ass. Other than that it was about the same as my usual head cold that I get every year or two. I even felt good enough yesterday to get out and do yardwork most of the day. I'm pretty much over it now. Just a little bit of congestion.
  2. They aren't even the flagship football program in the Brazos Valley. Since 1995 Blinn has won 4 NCs and Sam Houston has won one and played for 2 more, plus a few more top 4 finishes. During that same stretch A&M has managed 1 conference championship and that's it. I swear, for the life of me I can't figure out where their extremely over inflated sense of self worth comes from. Or how every new coach they bring in can't go three months without starting to spew the same stupid shit. They are never the least bit introspective. Ever. And the chiropractors in the area must make a killing from all of the sore shoulders. I have never seen a group that spends as much time patting themselves on the back as aggy.
  3. CSB, a life long friend of mine was on the cover of SI in 1989, and he also had a feature article about him a year earlier, and there's a picture of me in that article.
  4. Honestly I think this is a win for aggy and they don't even know it. My big concern is that they might actually go out and accidentally hire a decent AD to replace him. Bjork was an empty suit and his main job was turning the lights out in the athletics building on his way home every night.
  5. Hell, at this rate they're gonna end up with that Three Year Letterman guy from Twitter.
  6. LOL at both Stoops brothers being left holding their dicks after thinking they had been hired by universities in Texas. That's funny as fuck.
  7. At this rate I expect the FBI and IRS to raid the Michigan football offices before kickoff tomorrow morning. Gotta say, when this thing started, I never saw things unfolding like they have thus far.
  8. Quick question for anyone who knows. What is the overall total aggy will have paid Jimbo when they're done with the contract? Is it possible, when the dust settles, that they will pay him more not to coach for them than they paid him to coach for them? If so, that's amazing.
  9. She's been doing Colonial Penn commercials lately. She looks pretty rough in those. It's hard to imagine that someone as popular as she was in her prime wasn't more than set for life. But I guess life is pretty fucked up for a lot of folks these days. Sad to learn of her situation.
  10. Sam choked that game away hard at home against a team that's pretty much on their level. They'll never even be able to compete with schools like Rice or either of the New Mexico schools most years. Dumb decision to move up. They shoulda been happy to keep occasionally collecting hardware in I-AA.
  11. Holy shit! Are you me? Because that's exactly my story too. Same age and everything.
  12. The thing that gets me about this picture everytime I see it is the fact that that trophy is for the FCS Championship. Not the FBS champion. If you Google "NCAA Division I Football National Championship" it brings up the FCS. Perhaps aggy is planning on dropping down a level to finally have a chance to win a "natty". I still think North Dakota State would have something to say about it though.
  13. Snapped this pic on campus in College Station this morning. I couldn't believe my eyes.
  14. I'm sad that this round of realignment is pretty much over. I wasted a lot of time following it the past year or so, even though I don't really have a dog in the fight. Honestly, in the long term, I'm not real sure that the changes make that much of a difference for the Big 12. I wonder how 4 teams that didn't make the Pac 12 better are going to improve the Big 12? I guess more markets will be good for them, but they'll also be dealing with teams that didn't really want to be there in the first place, and now there are 4 more mouths to feed as well. Folks are trying to frame the story like the Big 12 won and the Pac 12 lost, but in truth, the Pac 12 was a dead man walking once USC & UCLA said they were leaving. But it has all been fun to watch.
  15. Didn't their AD say something along the lines of whether it's the PAC or the Big 12, they had a spot just a couple months ago? If so, wow at how they overestimated things.
  16. He has more skins on the wall than any other coach in the Big 12. No one should be shocked that he's building a team.
  17. Also, my avatar is my 3x great uncle William A. A. "Bigfoot" Wallace, who was one of the original Texas Rangers. Also my other 3x great uncle and Bigfoot's brother Samuel was killed in the Goliad Massacre.
  18. Went to Luckenbach on a nice Spring day, walked into the post office/gift store, bought a cold Lone Star from Marge (RIP) at the inside part of the bar. Then meandered around to the area where the outside part of the bar is and noticed a guy playing guitar and singing a Jerry Jeff Walker song under the big oak trees for a small crowd. Slowly wander around to the area where the people were watching and look up at the guy singing and realize that it's Jerry Jeff Walker. This was back when there were still beer tabs all over the ground. Mid to late 90s-ish. That was pretty Texan I think.
  19. aggy didn't reject the Lone Star Network because they didn't have the money for start up. They rejected it because every single partner it was pitched to said that they wanted to air much more Longhorn content than aggy content because Texas was far more valuable to them. Just like when Nike told them the same thing, they got pissed and walked away assuming it would kill any chance for Texas to have a network.
  20. MTV died the day they stopped playing Dokken videos.
  21. And they're cheap as hell too. I have a battery powered leaf blower for when I need to remove a light layer of leaves or grass from the patio or walkway, and a plug in leaf blower that I got from Walmart for like $20, for when I want to remove paint off of walls or grout from between bricks. It's seriously strong and isn't any louder that the weaker battery powered one.
  22. The NCAA is a voluntary membership organization. No college or university is forced to join it. No matter what a state law says, the member institutions agree to the NCAA rules to be a part of the NCAA. They also agree to abide by NCAA punishments if they are found to have violated the rules. On top of that, it's a self policing organization, which means that member institutions are (a) expected to follow the rules, (b) self report if they discover a violation, (c) self investigate the violation and report the findings to the NCAA and (d) self remedy the violation, meaning applying appropriate punishment, and making necessary institutional changes to ensure they won't commit the violation again. After the institution has completed that process and reported their findings, changes and punishments to the NCAA, the NCAA then conducts their own investigation to determine if the institution's findings and actions are appropriate. If they feel they aren't, then and only then does the NCAA levy action against the school. The NCAA isn't some governmental agency. It's just a collaborative of college and university presidents and chancellors who set and oversee the rules that everyone agrees to play by. Either you're a member and follow the rules, you wield enough influence to change the rules, or you leave the NCAA and form your own organization. The state has no say in it so long as the schools are members of the NCAA.
  23. I don't know if it's related to the current rapes, but a few months ago there was a guy who assaulted 2 or 3 women and was spotted on security cameras trying to break into apartments. I don't remember anything else being reported about him being caught. https://www.kbtx.com/2022/11/08/bryan-police-looking-home-security-camera-clips-hunt-attacker/
