  1. KSU nudged him with a hand, and I do mean nudged. It was a very Brazilian football dive.
  2. You find a way to be negative about the Longhorns in the ISU vs KSU thread... man, you have some unique perspectives.
  3. Hah! I was there too. That drunk Longhorn being laughed at and supported by KSU fans, me.
  4. Yeah, shocking in heavy ass rain, first possession, of the first game of the season for two ranked opponents is a tad sloppy early. Shocking!
  5. Yeah, I am curious too cause as I noted, I earned an ass beating or two and I was treated with sympathy for being a drunken ass. Clearly, and accurately viewed as a harmless loud mouth.
  6. There is a reason that game is circled on my calender.
  7. I applied to and toured UCSD, I won't claim it's the same as SDSU, Tech, Texas, ASU or SWTSU but, it did not suck.
  8. I personally love it. Tell me tell me that your sweet love hasn't died And give me Give me one more chance To keep you satisfied I'll keep you satisfied … Little things we could have said and done We just never took the time … But we were always on your mind We are always on your mind We are always on your mind
  9. It's Ireland. It would be really bizarre if it weren't.
  10. I went to multiple Texas games in Manhattan, I never caught any shit, even when I absolutely deserved it a time or two. I've got no issue pulling for them. No ill will towards ISU, just more attachment to KSU. I'm good with either winning the Big XII.
  11. Nothing next to Billy, but I understand Beau has Fight Club genetics.
  12. Agreed on all counts. They are absolutely foreshadowing, a lot, some resentment and frustrations with Kirsh. I'd love to see him go full turncoat evil. Mostly cause I'd watch Olyphant twiddling his thumbs but also, I think he'll make a better foil for rich, brilliant, narcissistic child boss of Prodigy.
  13. @Beau Vine and I have both been accused, multiple times, of being Graham. Perhaps, we are both Graham, perhaps neither. Regardless, Graham is a gift of perfect aggie propaganda written in more entertaining prose than anything Billy can generate.
  14. You say that like its an issue.
  15. I would actually like to see Surly readership vs Texags for my boy Graham.
  16. In a shocking turn of events, he predicted that Texas ends up with OU, Arkansas and Aggie. Bama gets zero brand or blue bloods and South Carolina comes up the big winner with 2 brands, and Kentucky.
  17. @Hagbard Celine You missed an important aspect of certain bitching. To make this as long winded as your method, let's play a game where it's pick the teams you play. With a singular exception, we'll create the order of selection one at a time going in descending order of most wins all time. A simple formula. Each team in the order, with a singular selection, gets one pick. Then after all have gone, we go back to the top of the selection order. Now, I mentioned an exception and there is method to my madness. It will help prove a point. The singular exception is aggie. To try, unsuccessfully, to reduce their crying, boycotts, and conspiracies about who plays who, we let them pick first. Not only that, we also allow them to have first 3 picks of the entire process out of order. Aggie would get the first, second and third pick of the teams they want as "protected" or their "pod". After that it would be Alabama with the fourth overall pick. Texas with the fifth, Georgia with the sixth and so forth through all time wins. Now, that is the most biased and preferential treatment a team could possibly be show in the process. It doesn't work for a lot of reason, but I'm again using it to illustrate a critical point. After aggie has selected all 3 of their picks, sometime during or just after Alabama pick, aggie would begin complaining the unfair bias of the selection process. At a guess, it would start with them second guessing their choices and claiming they shouldn't have been forced to make all 3 at once. They would then complain they should be able to trade because they might change their mind. Then they would likely bitch about whatever selection Bama made for reasons I'm not creative enough to dream up. They would then bitch about Texas getting the 5th pick because they are new to the SEC. They would also surely generate a conspiracy around the entire selection process being designed by Texas to damage Aggie's reputation. I could go on, but I'm sure you get the point.
  18. Don't try applying logic. Just nod, smile and move on.
  19. I'm willing to wager sometime this season, at a networking event, bar before a game or somewhere the following will occur. "Oh I'm a huge XYZ college team fan. Grew up with the sport." "Oh, XYZ huh? I was kind suprised when Playa Juan jumped to ABC team in the portal. Was that an purely NIL greed on Juan's part or did your coaches encourage it?" A) Playa Juan? B) Portal? C) NIL?
  20. So you don't think Orlando Community College, Panhandle Aggie and University of Tennessee Chattanooga are gonna be invited to join?
  21. Largely agree, but Arkansas, despite some historical success was never a blue blood in anyone's book.
  22. Of all the teams, Texas is far and away the easiest for all involved. Also easy call on who will complain the most no matter what.
  23. Auburn isn't getting the biggest TV and brands of all the teams in the SEC. That is the best slate and they are getting some shitty teams mixed in purely based on money and TV. SEC commissioner doesn't want it and neither do all 3 of those teams. Similarly Bama AD is gonna laugh if you tell him they 2 of their 3 "locked" are games nobody but that state will care about. Similar for Georgia athletic department. "Auburn and SC? Every year? Go fuck yourself!" After which they rage drive 100+ mph out of the parking lot. Money and TV eyes, aka Brand Games, are going to be the ruling force after known rivalries. The have nots aren't getting the lion's share.
  24. Beg to differ, I'm pretty sure heat stroke and practicing the next day gets one in the starting rotation. Grand mals, from said behavior keeps you on the 2 deep until December.
  25. I get that there will definitely be some fuckery among the lower tier schools. That said, UF and OU have brand awareness nationally. I don't see them getting fucked with such a shitty "rival". Schools most likely to get the shit end will be Missouri, SC, MSU, Vandy, Kentucky and Auburn. I rank Missouri as victim #1 as they really only have history with OU and more recently Arkansas. UF and OU aren't both getting the shit end, imo.
