  1. Ummmm embraced? He was treated horrifically by a giant segment of the public for years and he’s on the short list of athletes who are 100% justified in being bitter about his general treatment by the public/“fans.” Holy shit.
  2. Chas is a 115 OPS+ guy over 88% of his career PAs (2021-2023) and 65 OPS+ over 12% (2024). Seems reasonable to assume that he is probably more like the guy we’ve seen 88% of his career than the guy we’ve seen this season. Players don’t typically collapse at age 29, and players frequently have bad 166-PA stretches. It’s possible that he’s done as a good MLB player, but I don’t think that is the most likely scenario. (Not saying I wouldn’t trade him in the right deal, just that he probably hasn’t just ceased being a good player.)
  3. “He’s the best coach in the nation,” says player who has played two years of college ball for a single program. ”She gives unbelievable head,” says teenager moments after his first blowjob.
  4. I think “redeeming” is the word you’re looking for, boss.
  5. yeah, Aggie95 is right - those people aren’t going to risk looking silly…
  6. She makes me think about two things: 1. Don’t ever make my daughter’s life/stuff about me. 2. If these are the people that are applauding my actions, I need to change my actions.
  7. This whole idea that the most immediately recent results are the determinant of how program quality is hilarious to me. If it is that fast and easy to “surpass” Texas as a program, then it will be just as fast and easy to get surpassed, right? So what are we even talking about?
  8. I also loved: "Paulie, if we don't kill this prick, we should put him to work.”
  9. I have no knowledge either, but I’m going to say with 99% certainty that these numbers are utter bullshit.
  10. The sentiment about how “Texas can’t afford ___” that has begun to emerge is currently my favorite part of their bit. I continue to believe that their entire existence is parody because nothing else makes any sense.
  11. Yeah, I mean if there is communication about it, that’s what I’d think of as “hard evidence,” and that would seem to be pretty damning.
  12. I know nothing about any of this - how difficult is it to “prove” some sort of collusion? Couldn’t clubs reasonably argue that they don’t want him on their team because he’s an unlikable, immature douchebag that they don’t want around (assuming there isn’t hard evidence that it’s more than that)? I mean, Barry Bonds went unsigned coming off of a 169 OPS+ season in 2007. That seemed like blackballing, but I guess clubs could have argued that they had legitimate reasons not to bring him in - he’s a dick, too much of a circus, etc. Anyway, if such a suit came to pass, what evidence is required to win/settle? Simply being good enough to play in MLB doesn’t necessarily mean that you automatically get to play, right?
  13. It is hilarious that after Jimbo predictably flamed out, many of them are still beating their chests over hiring him away from FSU, where he had already begun flaming out. His tenure at A&M went almost exactly as most here expected it to. Also hilarious that they’re already crowning Elko - who has yet to coach a game for them - as a better hire than Sark - who has turned a struggling program that failed to have a single player drafted into a playoff team that had 11 players drafted in 3 seasons. Nobody takes victory laps for things that haven’t happened like the ags. Hell, they take victory laps for things that actually failed.
  14. The rules of college football pretty suddenly and radically changed. The economics of college football made remaining in the Big 12 untenable. But yes, it was the ags finishing fourth nationally in a season characterized by cancelled games and player quarantines that forced Texas to join the SEC.
  15. “Wow, what a couple of fucking assholes.” If I saw any of you on television in Texas shirts doing what those dipshits were doing, that would be my thought. At no point would I go out of my way to figure out what you were yelling about because it wouldn’t change the fact that you’re making assholes of yourselves. No part of me would feel any need to defend you just because you’re a Longhorn. Christ what’s wrong with these fucking people.
  16. I mean, Texas had the best record of any P5 team for the decade of the ‘00s, won a title, played for another (and should have played for another); Mack wasn’t getting fired after one bad season because of what he’d accomplished, not because he was a salesman.
