  1. Max is who he is. Not like he suddenly is different or going to change...we know it. The drivers know it. The teams know it. I don't hate the dude (that's held for fucking Ocon) but I agree with everyone who says the grid could use a little more hate.
  2. Evidently Williams is off the table now?
  3. At this rate Idk how they keep him next year. How many people could finish 6th in the WDC in this car? Nobody is asking him to be on par w Max. They are just asking not to get smoked THIS badly week in and week out. a larger gap than Albon to Sargent?! Jeez
  4. why troll them when you can own the entire narrative and news cycle? again - ripping out a heart >>> an eye poke or troll also, CDC Is way more professional than we are lol
  5. look man. there is no upside to that. the much, much, much bigger story is him winning the CWS, then Texas hiring him out of literal nowhere the day after the CWS is over. why go for an eye poke when you can, as you mentioned, rip someone's heart out Temple of Doom style?
  6. hat isn't backwards. what a rube.
  7. again, what's the upside for CDC? making it rain on your best friends biggest day? leaking it to Kirk Bohles of all people? it's petty enough to take the coach, staff and whoever else. there's no need to talk shit during the CWS when you are taking the coach the day after the CWS. i understand you are frustrated about this but of the entire situation, this is on Bohles and Pierce. the only ones who had any benefit to getting it out there. one needed a scoop in his new job and one was trying to negotiate a buyout #. if you are CDC you want to play it as close to the vest as humanly possibly, and then steal your rivals national championship winning coach and your best friend the day after they win. not have it leaked all over the place in the middle of things.
  8. idk what to tell you but if you think the decision to fire Pierce was made that day and handled that poorly you haven't been paying any attention to CDC or how things are done. again, there was a single person who benefited from leaking it. one. it was David Pierce.
  9. why people don't understand 1) Pierce decision had been made and he was gone and that 2) the only person who had a reason to leak it was Pierce not CDC confuses the hell out of me. do you not think the second thing happens with whoever y'all hire?because if it doesn't you are boned...or are y'all going to eschew on using the portal moving forward in every sport? healthy? no. but that's how it is now. to choose to ignore it (Clemson in football) is guaranteeing irrelevancy.
  10. a few more Buzz Williams announced as new A&M coach 4/3 VaTech's season over 3/29 Mike Sherman announced as new A&M coach 11/26/07 Texans season over 12/31/07 Fran announced as new A&M coach 12/6/2002 Alabama's season over 11/30/02
  11. Looch bullet points. evidently we are pronouncing his name wrong per Paul it is Billy "Loo-she" Mark Stoops was one of wildest things covered, as was Jimbo vs Saban - the last 24-36 hours or so have moved up to #1 it's building up to Schloss coming back to C-Station as a coach in burnt orange being bigger than the Texas/A&M football game (dumb) Paul: what's the situation as you know it? --> "i didn't know for sure he was leaving, i suspected it." in part because he was a close friend who started acting differently. he was told during the georgia series in April Schloss was taking the Texas job. radar was up, found out people at A&M were aware of it. asked him the night before they played Texas if he was taking their job and he didn't really shoot it down, just asked who was saying it or told him "it felt weird the entire time there" in Omaha Looch thinks that CDC is who leaked the Pierce firing the day of the game and that threw him. "if you know that's your coach" why are you letting that out in the biggest game of your best friends career? (it wasn't CDC, you dunce, it's Pierce. the single person incentivized to leak it) tell me about what happened after the question from the Texags guy? --> "he apologized today to open his presser" - Schloss said "i don't think i'll ever speak to you again" after the Texags reporter asked it, in front of everyone evidently after the televised/recorded part of the presser per Looch (but literally no one else who was in that room reported it?) "I sent Olin there to be at his press conference in Austin just to ask some questions" whats happening internally at A&M player and coaching wise> --> its a mess player wise. lot of players want to stay but very concerned and being recruited by the coaches who recruited them to A&M now to Texas aggressively. it's 2024 but its still mindblowing. kids are 1 day into not having a coach but the portal closes july 1 he thinks. complained about the portal and that it's a mess with the calendar (hinting that july 1 is too close to end of CWS? i think?) Alberts has to go do a quick search (that they have known about since late April?! per Looch) Looch: just for the record if you leave after returning you didn't get to Austin and start working today. you can't in a million years convince me that they weren't working (in omaha) on behalf of what they were going to be doing at Texas Paul: not trying to be overly dramatic, but you think they were recruiting for Texas while in Omaha? --> not recruiting, but thinking about texas. you can never convince me otherwise. anyone who believes otherwise is insanely naive. this is what a lot of players and players families believe. noted that the new A&M coach could leave their school in really crappy fashion Paul: if A&M had won the game, and the national championship would anything be different today? --> no. they would have had to be in Austin before the parade. i think they are coaching there, and that entire staff is in burnt orange when the parade happens. that's wild to think of. don't think it would have been different Looch: i think Schloss was frustrated about promises made by Bjork about the stadium. after that it took too long. had to trust assurances. was going to get bump to highest paid coach in baseball. there was a gap and he had the safety net in place (CDC/Texas) he was on the search committee, they didn't pick the guy he wanted who was very baseball friendly. when that happened he thought about leaving not justifying the way it went down at all - completely wrong. if you want an explanation, i think that's it and if you go back to right around Georgia, thats when the dominos started falling
  12. holy shit - CDC really is the fucking best.
  13. once again - livestream link here: https://fmtalk1065.com/listen ill do a summary momentarily

  15. guessing this won't be the last one to do this
  16. it would be INCREDIBLE if they got mad at the portal'ers then said they wouldn't take any portal players from their new coaches old school also, if any fanbase in the universe should understand the portal - it's Texas A&M fans.
  17. that's what i thought too, had to look it up - all in Napa/Sonoma thirding this. what a great concept
  18. them calling him SchLOSS after he had the best season in program history by wins and the best finish in the entire history of their program (runner up) is so fucking dumb
  19. guess who posted this <12 hours ago

    Whatcha reading?

    if you like him, here are some more recs. I'm assuming you are aware of most of these but for folks who may not be, here are some other recs beyond Jack Carr *Gray Man series by Mark Greaney (singleton, not exclusively military group, but some are. i like it more than Carr's books right now) *Mitch Rapp series by Vince Flynn (RIP) and Kyle Mills (modern military thriller) *Gabriel Allon series by Daniel Silva (best written stories in this genre i think, but more spy thriller than modern military thriller) Scot Horvath by Brad Thor (modern military thriller) Orphan X by Greg Hurwitz (spy thriller) Marcus Ryker serires by Joel C Rosenberg Chameleon by Remi Adeleke (new series, book 1 just came out last year) Year of the Locust by Terry Hayes --> guy wrote one other book that's on my kindle, but this one specifically is fantastic. like 2/3rd of the way through and really well written. and the best resource in the game for this style book: https://therealbookspy.com/
