I forgot to add the interview with York where he said he was a top 1000 player out of high school, but Texas didn't want him while aggy did. York actually seemed like a decent kid, but it screamed little brother. Top 1000?
The Netflix episode on aggy was perfect. One commentator called them Texas 8&4 and perennial underachievers, another said they love all these traditions but to everyone else they're just strange. And then they have a short segment on the yell leaders. I can just see the rest of the country watching this and thinking WTF.
I had forgotten how thoroughly we whipped their ass. 2 huge red zone turnovers, one of which was a pick 6 for their only score. Really should have been a methodical 31-0 beat down.
I mean a guy in his 20s that plays a sport where you have to sprint, jump and move laterally for extended periods of time could probably just cut back to 4k cals a day and lose a shitload of weight.

During her recent appearance on the "All the Smoke" podcast with Matt Barnes, WNBA union first vice president Kelsey Plum explained that the union is not asking for the same salaries as NBA players. What is demanded is the same percentage of the pie as the men.
"A lot of times, the misinformation comes in where we're asking to be paid what the men are being paid. That's not true. We're asking just the same percentage of revenue or a similar percentage of revenue. And right now, that's not the case. And so that's what we're fighting for," explained Plum
I mean WTF. They couldn't have put some livestock there for their tests instead? Definitely gives off a vibe of "arrows cost money, send in the Irish."
Kind of like how his son acted in the draft process. Wonder where he learned that from? Someone forget to tell him it only works if you have generational talent.
I remember the uproar when Sherrill was hired for something like 250k per year. People couldn't believe a head coach making more than the university president. At least aggy was on the cutting edge of something.
