  1. My wife is Persian and she was laughing her ass off at the opening credits sung in Farsi last week.
  2. Is Chris Johnson a Hall of Famer? He basically had a 6 great seasons, including one of the best year's a rb has ever had in '09.
  3. I took on-level history my junior year of high school in East Texas, and when the guy was teaching about WWII he took a serious tone with the class and said, "I want everyone in class to understand one thing: Russians are quitters. They have never seen a single thing through in their entire existence. They are quitters to their core and you can't trust them". So I'm pretty sure that lesson wasn't specifically approved curriculum. He also spent a good deal of our history class preaching how important it was that we invade Afghanistan (this was 2003). Anyway, he was just some dipshit yokel who had stumbled into teaching. My AP teachers were for the most part really good and weren't pushing any political agenda at all.
  4. Well sure, but he never had to play Alabama's defense! - aggy galaxy brain
  5. I wonder if Aggierogue thinks Devanta Smith is David Boston’s size or if he just hasn’t watched college football for 3 years.
  6. No thread title has ever been more appropriate.
  7. Vague tweets from coaches, CBs are rolling in, and the Perroni doesn't expect Thompson to make his aggy visit. And it's Tuesday. Everyone get your gifs ready.
  8. Yeah, agreed. After taking 3 in ‘21 no need to reach on a questionable take.
  9. The depth chart. Karic kicking out to RT and Kerstetter inside to LG apparently.
  10. Oh wow, here is the shakeup. Karic to RT and Kerstetter to LG. I think I like it, hopefully gives Jones a little more help on that left side.
  11. Is Hookfin still banged up? Seems like he'd be getting in the mix more, especially with the shuffling after the Okafor injury. He was listed as 3rd team RT on the TCU depth chart. Or maybe the talk of him being a viable piece was just 9.95er hype.
  12. God, if that happened we'd reach saturation levels of schadenfreude around here. Between the Texags response and whatever Leon Oneal would have to say about it, it would be like the week we joined the SEC all over again.
  13. Well this was Bryce Foster's attempt at a block on the game deciding play...it's all relative I guess.
  14. Doesn't Arch have an older sister who was coming to Texas until the 11th hour? Went somewhere else to play volleyball I think, where did she end up again?
  15. Yeah, I'm not defending Calzada (who does kind of suck) but his best play on Saturday was a scramble where he dodged a free rusher in the backfield and took off for a 25 yard td run. In other words, he made a play completely outside of Jimbo's offense. Same shit in CU when they managed to scrape out a W, all his best plays seemed to be scramble drills where he turned a blown up play-call into something. I remember the same thing constantly happening with Mond. He was athletic enough to make big plays in spots where there was nothing there, and Jimbo even tended to throw him under the bus for it iirc. Some shit like, "this offense works, quarterbacks just need to make the right reads" or something. Whoever the aggy was who said Jimbo's offense is hard to learn and easy to defend nailed it. If they don't have an elite OL and talent advantages at their skill positions it just doesn't work. Bottom line, Jimbo's caveman offense sets up his qbs to fail. Deep down, I think the propaganda ministry knows that and that's why they put so much hope in King's speed. They know their qb needs to be able to make something happen when his play-call fails.
  16. For all the talk about Florida being his leader, I'd be shocked if Stewart ends up there. Mullen isn't a closer in these recruitments, their passing offense has been underwhelming, and that program is starting to get exposed. Mullen is 1-5 against Power 5 opponents in his last 6 games. The most impressive thing he's done in his time there is manage to play Alabama relatively close twice. UF may offer TikToc influencing as a major but ultimately it's Texas of Alabama for Stewart IMO.
  17. Actually ousux was thinking correctly, Tope was in that same class. 2016
  18. Isn't Okafor pushing 30 now? May be Tope Imade I'm thinking of The top TX player in his recruiting class was Greg Little who's already on his 2nd NFL team.

    Pretty much this. Saban/Alabama absolutely hammer into their players a culture that winning is the most important thing. Case in point, Jaylen Waddle. A guy who some labeled with "character concerns" because he was on the take in his recruitment. Would be easy to assume he was only looking out for himself and his eventual NFL opportunity. When he got hurt last season it would have been reasonable to just shut it down, take his time with rehab and get ready for the draft. He didn't have to play another college snap as far as his draft position was concerned. That's not what he did though. He rushed to get back on the field and played in the title game even though he clearly wasn't healthy. He risked hurting his draft stock because the gave a shit about being on the field and winning a National Title.
  20. FWIW, I guess it’s not the worst thing in the world if OSU is an early kickoff according to Sark. He mentioned that he likes getting to spend the rest of the day with visiting recruits after the game.
  21. It’s so funny, his whole narrative about Texas joining the SEC was that with Jimbo and their head start in the league, UT was in for a rude awakening about just how far aggy football has come, we weren’t ready, ags were positioned to be the dominant Texas team in the league… Now that whole thing basically just comes down to they didn’t lose as badly to the team that both schools lost to. As always, advantage aggy.
