  1. James Ransone. Suicide. Fucking terrible.
  2. Went to the Aggie game yesterday with my kid and was struck by how different A&M students behave. They’re not rabid in the least (loud is not the equivalent of rabid). The expectation bar is shockingly low. This era of Aggie students isn’t drinking the same Kool-Aid the older generations did. They sip it. They’re definitely not aggieholics. They said "when" before the Kool-Aid started to flow. Maybe it’s the seven-days-a-week firehose of college football now, or just the amount of information you can explore online, but they seem to understand exactly where they are in the big picture—way more than even the Aggies who were in school as recently as the Big 12 exit. The loss was disappointing, sure, but treated like an inevitability. On the ramp leaving Pyle Field, I actually heard one student tell another, “That’s just how it goes for us.” Bottom line. A&M is stuck in a weird tug-of-war: the “old” traditions (yell leaders, hand signals, the whole Aggie liturgy) are the brand, but they don’t reliably hook the student body they have now. So the school leans hard into newer game-day material—music, hype cues, big-screen programming—to manufacture energy the traditional stuff used to generate on its own. The result is an identity mismatch: traditions still run the script, but they’re being propped up by modern stadium theater because a generous share of their students aren’t there to be Aggies first—they’re there for a degree, a program fit, or because another door didn’t open. That’s how you end up with “2%ers” who don’t wave towels… or need the instructions printed on them to know what yell to do.
  3. That’s what I figured, but hell - these days
  4. Never between, but always there after. It was our decompression tank. I think a great deal of of our success in the 80s and 90s could be attributed to the amount of time we spent together outside of work. It was genuinely a family. We may have been O&O by Disney/Cap Cities, but it seemed like a small world.
  5. Dave and the owner, Eldon, were very good friends.
  6. We often went to Kay’s after work.
  7. He was a friend and former co-worker for me. A genuinely good guy. He’ll be missed.
  8. England's problem this time around.
  9. Which country hasn't?
  10. Will Aaron Judge thank Jose Altuve for allowing him to be there?
  11. Clearly Shaq didn't show up at rehearsal. He's asking Brady on a hot-mic what to do.
  12. I tuned in for the draw and a Mexican soap opera seems to have broken out
  13. This. My kids would ask me what happened to a player after he graduated from Texas and I'd tell them he'd been sent to live on a big farm in the country where he could run around outside all day long and do fun football-things.
  14. Odenkirk Doesn’t Credit the Medic with Saving Him
  15. Should Notre Dame get in ahead of Miami? I know there is a perpetual hard-on to include the Irish in just about everything, but that seems to be a harder sell than Texas being "in."
  16. Fuck them. They cut the horns off our logo in the middle the field during my stint in undergrad. Don't recall what year, but they left two holes in the AstroTurf at midfield. Whatever happens at or to Pyle Field is fair game. Fucktards.
  17. "You are Texas Tech with a dog complex." - FIFY
  18. Preseason I had the Longhorns with a 21.61%* chance of finishing 10-2 overall. To hit 10-2 from this point forward, they must win out (3-0). Under the new, tougher assumptions (A&M stronger, Arkansas weaker), that win-out probability is down to 18.7 %, a drop of 2.91 percentage points (down roughly 13% from preseason, reflecting A&M’s being better than expected and Arkansas’s significant downgrade). August 13, 2025 Today Outcome Probability Outcome Probability 12-0 1.67% *10-2 18.70% 11-1 9.48% < 9 wins 81.30% *10-2 21.61% < 9 wins 67.24% Per Georgia, I originally had Texas' win probability in Athens at 40%, but if you want to be more optimistic every +5% bump in the Texas win probability at Georgia adds roughly 0.05 expected wins and +2% to Texas’s chance of finishing the season 3-0 (10-2). Moving Georgia from 40% to 55% boost Texas’s chance of running the table by 40% (18.7% to 26.3%), and more than reclaims what the Longhorns lost when I upgraded A&M's chances somewhat.
  19. Hasn't Trump taught her anything?
