Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Bags Don't Beat Bankrolls

RIP Cormac McCarthy
I’ve been thinking a lot about McMurtry over the last few days. Lost them both within about two years of each other. Their prose was so different from one another even when to subjects somewhat overlapped. Neither seemed to have much time or patience for the NY literary scene though. I believe they both skipped their Pulitzer ceremony.

RIP Cormac McCarthy
Is a large part of an artist’s legacy whether their art can be considered “helpful”? What does helpful art look like? I’d argue that the kind of person that picks up and gets through a McCarthy novel is a relatively thoughtful person that gets a lot out of his unique depictions of violence and morality, whether it aligns with their worldview or not. Your are editorializing calling it “gratuitous”, especially never having read anything he wrote. I totally get it if you personally don’t like art that focuses on the themes that his books focus on, but to assume they must be a net negative to society at large because you don’t get anything out of it seems pretty reductive.

RIP Cormac McCarthy
He never really lost his fastball either, I thought the Passenger was really good. There are passages in a few of his books that I think about constantly and have marked in my paperbacks so I can go back to them quickly. Damn. RIP to a legend.

Let’s talk QBs
Aaron Rodgers, Purdy, and Cousins all led their schools to the most successful seasons at their respective schools in recent memory. I think they would be considered big winners relative to the colleges they attended.

Aggy 2024: Still waiting on the Looch 44
“You can say Lane has beaten A&M two years in a row” - Looch Yeah…I guess you could say that. What a concession. Can’t call him a homer, he really just calls it like he sees it.

RIP Ray Stevenson
Damn. I just saw him in RRR and didn’t even recognize it was him until after the movie. Seemed like he aged a lot in the last 5 years or so.

2023 Transfer Thread - Texas Capitalized, ATM Victimized
I’ve got a friend who seriously hates Ryan Fitzpatrick to this day because he says he had an offer to go play qb at Harvard until Fitz swooped in and took his spot. He ended up playing for Claremont McKenna. CSB postscript, his little brother is famous 5-star bust Max Browne.

The Ags have been in the SEC for a decade, and UT still has more wins over Georgia in that span

Assuming we’re talking about Sean Weatherspoon, his college fb career ended 14 years ago. Christ, why does ever single thing have to remind me that I’m old.

Ted Lasso (Apple+)
Yeah, this idea has been what the show was about since the very beginning. It’s literalized in the opening credits for fucks sake. Ted Lasso (the show) is a lot of things, but subtle has never been one of them. That said, the balance has been off for a while now. I don’t think season one is quite the magical diamond of a tv season that Derka does, but it was much more effective than the last two seasons IMO.

I’m not so sure, BO&W has spent the entire spring grinding out hours of OL film study. He’s certainly not just regurgitating other people’s bullshit he read on IT.

Lamar got his extension- 2023 NFL DRAFT
He put on some weight for the combine that he won’t keep on. Playing weight is much closer to 190. https://theathletic.com/4420436/2023/04/21/bryce-young-nfl-draft-short-quarterbacks-stats-history/?source=user_shared_article- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
Man, that’s a ton of attention being paid by another team’s fans to a player who is currently our 3rd string QB. I was going to make a joke asking where our multiple threads were on how their 3rd string qb looked…but apparently they don’t even have one until Reed shows up this summer. As always…advantage Aggy- 2023 NFL DRAFT
I don’t see Bijan dropping to 27. Some team is going to fall in love with him. If the Cowboys (or anyone else) want him I think they’ll need to trade their pick into the late teens/early 20s.- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
Just a master class in spin from Luicci. He paints in bullshit like Picasso used oils. I hope we get to see him sell Weigman transferring too. He can even re-use “part-time starter” and how he saw the writing on the wall.- Tell Me About Texas a&m
I think his last two sentences answers this question:- 2023 Spring Practice to Fall Camp Thread - Just hook it to my veins!
If Crawford can figure out which direction to face before the snap, he’s basically Ed Reed.- Tell Me About Texas a&m
This is a recent picture on her IG. She’s not thin, but this is not a fat chick. The comparison to a housewife is fair, but she’s the housewife that all the dads are checking out at the bbq and hoping to see at a pool party.- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
Same, somewhere up there Mike Leach is smiling that there is still a head coach so committed to relentlessly trolling the Ags.- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
Hahaha, he really didn’t want to report on it but it happened in a full media session and forced his hand. - NFL 2023 Offseason
