  1. This couldn't be truer. Here's a cool story bro. My wife has a best friend from her undergrad at Brown. We met during grad school. Her friend married an aggy working, at the time somewhere outside of San Marcos. aggy ends up starting some kind of trucking company and starts "making" some kind of industrial metal parts. Fast forward a few decades and I still have to see this hillbilly whenever we are in their current town. His business has done well and they try to portray themselves as respectable and able to hold conversation with us. They've invested heavily in this area too - ranch in the hill country, a plane, a couple ski houses, etc. At the end of the day the guy just isn't that smart - he's a laborer who marshaled other laborers to get to where he is and his inferiority complex burns pretty damn bright when the adults start talking. Telling a truck to go from point A to B and back to A or bending a pipe at a 45 degree angle doesn't require any actual brainpower no matter how much he wants us to believe it does. aggy as a whole are like this and it is an embarrassment that only reinforces our state's redneck image. Just because their university is large they think it is this beacon of intellect and it isn't. They are graduates of a trade school who feel the need to try to equate themselves to intellectuals. Other, smaller, intellectually inferior schools don't feel the need to do this. It's sad for them but damning for the rest of us that call Texas home.
  2. YEAH WHITE TRASH!!!! WE WENT TO SCHOOL FOR 4 YEARS TO BE A LABORER!!!! WHOOOOOOP
  3. I don't have a crystal ball here but I remember a lot of people saying the same thing about Saban when he fizzled at Miami 15 years ago.
  4. Honestly Fisher leaving might have been a blessing for aggy. Once we join the SEC aggy won't bring any TV eyeballs to the conference. AS has been mentioned on here multiple times most SEC teams have their lowest rated conference game against aggy....I think Vanderbilt was the exception a few years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if they get the boot in a few years with some buyout. They will probably be stupid enough to NOT spend that buyout getting rid of expensive but completely mediocre coach and all of us Texas taxpayers will get the benefit of bailing them out. Hopefully the end result though is they end up G5 where a school with their "tradition" belongs.
  5. Wow. This one caught me off guard
  6. This is fucking depressing. We are blue blood-ing wrong.
  7. I'd say does have a position to be throwing shade at aggy. We are still more nationally relevant than they are; we aren't a boat anchor for TV ratings in our conference, something other SEC teams are getting pissed at aggy about; we have a winning tradition over the history of our program; and we smoke them in revenue. Whether Sark is an idiot remains to be seen but long term our program is going to be just fine. Just like Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama, etc. we will have long down periods but inertia will push us back to winning. aggy will always been a glorified G5 team trying to keep their heads about water with the big boys. Shade, throw it upon them.
  8. So we just need to wait for the new kids to come in to their own? So just like 2-3 more years of suckage?
  9. At least we can all agree that we lost to Kansas.
  10. MOTHER. FUCKING. COACHING. JUGGERNAUT
  11. He said they are still in the phase of trying to get things taught. I mean that teaching could take 5, even 6, seasons.
  12. The weirdness here is pretty next level. Someone actually made this.
  13. "oh shit, better go get some players"
  14. WTF is happening? Baylor called a timeout?
  15. 4th and 40! GO FOR IT
  16. The fact is that aggy is at best a mediocre G5 football program. Their shitty facilities, history, recruiting, and donor base all fit in better in a G5 conference than real college football. That never happened because they rode our coattails for a century and then lucked out with their SEC move. With us moving to the SEC and the climate changing I'd venture aggy is pushed down to a G5 conference within the next 10 years.
  17. Am I supposed to be ashamed of how I was born???
  18. This shows just how aggy lacks any national relevance whatsoever. If you take out their donations - which are mostly driven by a handful of people who only have money because grandpa's land has oil under it - they drop even further down the rankings. 3 factors are working against them going forward: those oil donors know their days of being wealthy are numbered, aggy has really shot their wad donation-wise on a coach who is about to bail and a stadium that's universally deemed one of the worst in the country, and the fact that the remainder of their graduate base skew to the dramatically low-end side of the earning scale. This also doesn't even take in to account the fact that us joining the SEC brings a huge TV base in Texas that aggy was supposedly supposed to be bringing with them a decade ago. You have to think the other current SEC west teams are sick of giving them an equal payout and having their LOWEST TV rated conference game be vs. aggy year after year after year.
  19. Leipold has a lot on the line here - if he notches a second win this year he will be on pace to best their last 5 coaches' starts
  20. Hopefully I find the best hole later. At least tonight won’t be a complete write off.
  21. I wonder if our new friends at the SEC are weighing in here as well. With our move to the SEC aggy brings nothing to the table and is essentially diluting the (soon to be increased) pool of money the SEC distributes. aggy has been at best mediocre in the SEC and most SEC opponents already see their lowest in-conference TV ratings against them. If they become even more a creampuff does the SEC use this turmoil to push them down to a G5 conference where they belong?
  22. Truthfully, watching you wax the hairs on your balls would probably be less painful than watching this game.
