Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
Ojo Rojo replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
I agree that "good losses" are an aggie thing, but a loss to OSU is different than a loss to Arizona St. -

Huh? I think you missed the point about the rankings being bullshit. In fact, there shouldn't even be a fucking preseason ranking. That's probably dumbest of all. -
I just imagine David Attenborough narrating: "In the first video, we see the model image of what corps members see as the ideal Aggie - the yell leaders. Voted on by the cadets, these individuals are the most bought-in to Aggie tradition." "In the second video, we see the bizarre tradition of first year cadets, who they refer to as "fish," chasing down and capturing the yell leaders in a simulated gang rape ritual." "In the third video we again see the yell leaders at what the Aggies call "Midnight Yell," where the students gather in the stadium at night to worship the yell leaders and practice their chants. In perhaps the most disconnected of all Aggie traditions is the yell leaders using strange body language and intonations while making "jokes" about the opposing team. In a show of solidarity and hero-worship, the students pretend to laugh." "Finally, we see the essence of Aggie corps culture - the awkward language and actions of closeted and conservative homosexuals who, being insulated from outside opinions through their elevated status and praise of their fellow Aggies, have no idea how strange and ridiculous they actually are. It's a sad tale."

The rankings are bullshit. Head-to-head wins don't matter. Strength of schedule doesn't matter. The metric should be - if these two teams played, who would likely win? We have losses to the No. 1 and 4 teams in the country. In a vacuum, that could mean that you are ranked as high as No. 5. But it almost never does. The loss to Florida fucked us in this current system. Losses to unranked teams count too much. Losses to higher ranked teams, especially in the Top 10, don't count as a positive factor at all. Use the head-to-head metric. Who would likely win if we played Tech, BYU, Miami? We'd win every one of those games. We've already beaten Vanderbilt (12) and OU (8). How the fuck are teams we beat "better" than us? Makes no fucking sense. I'd take our odds against anyone ranked outside of the top 4. Oregon lost to the only really good team they played. Penn St. was No. 3 at the time Oregon beat them, but that ranking has proven to be way fucked. Wins at Iowa at 20? USC at 15? Please. Our wins over OU and Vandy are both better than those. Ole Miss lost to Georgia by 8; we lost by 25. They have wins over LSU (then No. 4) and OU. I'd say they should be ranked ahead of us. Tech hasn't played a bluebood. Wins over No. 16 Utah and No. 7 BYU. And a loss to unranked Arizona St. No fucking way they should be ranked ahead of us. ND lost to Miami and A&M. They had no other games against really good teams. USC and Pitt are their best wins. Fucking please. I could go on and on. -
Me: So what do we have going on this weekend? Her: Well, today (Thursday) you pick up boys X, Y, Z from school and I'll come get them at your office at 4:30. You then have a Scouts meeting at 6:30. What time will you be home? I need you to be home by 6 so I can take boy X to baseball. Can you pick him up at 9? Friday, boy X is camping and doing the long hike for Philmont. You saw where they changed the venue to be able to get a longer hike, right? He's going with his friend and his dad and they are bringing him home on Saturday, thank God. They are so great for doing that. Saturday, let's see, I talked to boy X's coach and they might have some games. It's the last weekend of the season for actual games. They don't start up again until February. But I told him he can't do any games on Saturday until probably 3 or 4, so I'm waiting to hear back from the coach. Boy Z has basketball at 8 a.m. instead of 10 a.m. because the gym wasn't available at the school so they moved it to a park. So I'm going to take him instead of going to work out. Then I'm going to get a massage because a girl is doing them for only $40. So I'll bring Boy Z home from basketball. Then nothing until Boy X gets home and you have to take him to his baseball game because I'm going to assist with that training when Chica comes to town and she'll be here this weekend and I will make $50 an hour. Is there a game on this weekend? Do you know what time it is? Do you want me to Google it? Me: It's at 2:30. But I don't care about it. Her: Okay, great. Me: And Sunday? Her: (Honestly, at this point all I heard was Charlie Brown adult voice, "Wah, wah, wahwahwah.")

You know, I don't know whether to be encouraged or discouraged. It is encouraging that Trump (Stephen Miller) is slowly failing at just about everything he is trying to do. The foundation of American democracy is holding. That should be encouraging. Except, a plurality of American voters wanted this and they want Trump (Stephen Miller) to succeed. That is discouraging. I had another thought - American democracy has to expose itself to risk in order to maintain itself. It's like the tradeoff between security and freedom. How do we put restrictions on the president so that this kind of shit doesn't happen, while still allowing him or her to act as necessary for the benefit of the country? There are benefits to a strong executive when they are a good faith actor. Not so much when you have a bad faith actor who is literally constrained by nothing.

Why do they allow questions at these things at all? Why not just do the photo op and move on? Maybe because nothing matters? I don't know.

Aggie bed shitting in progress...

LOL, this. Don't these dumb motherfuckers know you should wait until the end of the season? If he gets in the playoffs, wins a couple of rounds or whatever, then pay him. Until then, he ain't done shit. And you are rewarding "ain't done shit" again. The A&M AD is the ultimate fail upward job.

When I was a poor student I had a Wells Fargo bank account and I overdrew it on occasion. I learned that what WF did is they would put through bigger checks first so that every subsequent transaction would rack up additional $35 fees. I thought that was fucked up and evil and I was in the office of one of their assistant branch managers to tell him so and he had a heavy brass business card holder that I was very, very tempted to throw at his smug ass face.

Lighten up, Francis. It was obviously a bit. Not cool that there were kids around, though.

Unlike Debbie Downer Futureman, I thought this was hilarious. The surprised look on the guy's face and body language like, "Was that wrong? Is that kind of thing frowned upon here?" The sales guy, "What the fuck is wrong with you?" Then the other customer saying, "Boollsheeit" when they explain he's training to be a cop.

Did the crew survive?

As a former replacement window salesman, I can tell you that you don't know what you are talking about and you are doing it wrong. Andersen is one of the highest priced windows you can buy. Wood windows, generally, are the highest priced windows compared to the other materials available - vinyl and aluminum. When it comes to sizing, there really is no such thing as "standard." Sure, a 3050 single hung window measures 36"X60" most of the time, but it's not the frame size you have to worry about - it's the opening size. That is affected by the type of siding you have - wood, Hardie, brick, stone, stucco, etc. I would recommend some good quality lower-end vinyl windows.

Was that guy a dwarf? Or just a carnie?

I'll say it again X 1000 - Is this real?

Auto mechanics. Any kind of insurance.

Yeah, at least she's sucking him off for a righteous purpose, which is more than I can say for his cabinet and enablers.

We have history. Dude's got a hard on for me for some reason.

Dude, are you drunk for the OU game already? If so, respek.

You didn't correct shit. And you are deranged.

I forgot where I was, momentarily. This is no place for civil discourse. To be clear, though, I'm not downplaying anything and I'm not a moron. I'm legitimately asking how bad is this, really, because I'm struggling to grasp the severity of what is happening. I know it looks and seems very, very bad. It may, in fact, be very, very bad. If so and I'm ignoring something, then list it out. It's possible this is all just reality TV of a fake fascist takeover with the sole purpose of enriching and giving power and position to those who will stoop low enough to play along. I think almost all of this is leadup and, as someone upthread said, a test to see just how far they can go. Oct. 18th may be the day when shit pops off. I'll be closely watching.

I hadn't seen the news about the TNG getting there today. I know it's protestors and that's what I said. I see what they are trying to do. The people they have arrested or indicted will be exonerated. Do you know of anyone who they have targeted who has actually received a prison sentence? Totally agree on the Venezuelans. It was dumb and weak to say "Someone should look into it." I don't know what jurisdiction that falls under? International Criminal Court? Military investigation? Whatever can be done, should be done. I agree that if I was in LA, Portland, DC or Chicago right now seeing armed troops on the streets I might feel differently. Just giving my own perspective. Am I the frog in the boiling pot? Entirely possible. I have certain markers that I'm watching. If those things come to pass I will actively support and join the resistance. I have a family and shit to lose. I want to be damned sure what I think is happening is actually happening before I make myself a target and put my family at risk. Disagree about the courts. I think there is a lot of misunderstanding about what the rulings actually say and mean. I do think SCOTUS is trying to stay out of real difficult, important and dangerous decisions as long as they possibly can, which is wrong in it's own right. I'm waiting until that moment comes.

You are a deranged asshole. I don't know what your problem is, but you can take your lunatic rants and shove them up your ass.

Let's break it down a little: "We have a president trying to send military troops from Texas into OR and IL. Right. He's trying. Hasn't happened yet. He's sent National Guard troops into several cities. What have they done? They haven't killed anyone yet, as far as I know. Sure it's dangerous and looks really, really bad. But if they kill someone, we may have our Kent State moment. A president who's labeled a non-existent organization called "Antifa" only by the magats, but commonly a loose coalition of people protesting are now a designated terrorist organization. Yes, so who are they going to actually arrest? People dressed in black and protesting against Trump? If that happens, then what? The govt. has to prove that they are in "Antifa," which doesn't exist. They'll spend some time in jail, and that sucks bigtime, but they'll be exonerated and freed. They're vaporizing Venezuleans in the ocean for no reason, but they've labeled them terrorists so they're getting away with it. They've lit up two boats, as far as I know. I haven't seen what intel we had or anything. I've heard they were "running drugs," but again, I haven't seen any of the proof. Obviously we don't want to be wantonly killing people, from wherever they are from, for no reason. I don't know what the recourse is or how or if anyone could be held accountable for this. I don't know if anyone/entity is looking into it. Someone certainly should. ICE troops are shooting people protesting legally in the head with chemical munitions, kidnapping citizens and other people here legally. They are ramping up the violence and trying to get the public to accept or ignore it. Chemical munitions? C'mon, it wasn't mustard gas. It was a pepper ball. And it's happened once. I don't know the extent of his injuries, but he never lost consciousness. Yes, ICE is picking up people it shouldn't. Not in large numbers though. Those people are getting due process and getting released, as near as I can tell from news sources. I would agree that the Trump administration is ramping up violence, but mainly by rhetoric and the few, actual violent incidents being all over the news and social media. That makes it appear much more widespread and worse than it actually is. I don't know if the Trump administration is "trying to get the public to accept or ignore" the violence by the federal government. They probably are. But to immamac's point, they are failing. People aren't accepting it or ignoring it. From what I can see, it's riling a lot more people up and turning people more against the administration. It's causing people to become activists. In short, if that's their plan, it appears to be backfiring. Look, I know all of this shit is bad, bad. It looks even worse than that. There is certainly potential for things to get way, way worse with all of the worst possibilities that we can all imagine actually happening. I also think it's important for people to maintain some objectivity and their critical thinking skills and see things for exactly as they are, not what they could be. I don't know what you think is happening but I'm pretty certain it's not a big nothing.
