  1. Don’t believe everything you read. Texas education isn’t trash. It’s a big state with lots of variances between districts so it definitely won’t be anywhere near the best. For every metric that proves it’s great there are two that prove otherwise. Regardless we should absolutely hold our leaders (both state and local) to a higher standard as just being better than states like Mississippi, Alaska, Louisiana, Wyoming, and God forsaken Oklahoma is not good enough.
  2. He covered Hurt too. May not be a popular opinion but I think it’s better than the original.
  3. Washington State wishes…
  4. Those mushrooms really hit differently at 3am…
  5. My favorite one from the long screenshots This is just perfect aggy. Not that they could PROVE, no, no, nothing as gauche as that where we use facts and evidence, just in MOST cases they COULD ARGUE. /chef’s kiss Never change aggy, never change…
  6. That’s not what he says in the clip. I think he says enough stupid things without making up shit…
  7. THIS If you take the entire team you are a dick and you’ll likely get some sort of litigation. I’d think about your team. Is there someone you think they might promote to your old role on your team you’d be fucking over? Them staying in that role with a solid team could really help their career and grow them into a leader that could gain quality skills and experience which you could leverage down the road if you keep them in your network. That being said, I don’t see anything wrong with taking a key player or two but I wouldn’t completely screw over my old company. If it falls to shit after you leave and you really do have a great relationship with your team they’ll reach out to you once that new reality sets in.
  8. So this is 100% fabrication. I went to the drag after that NCG win and the only thing that happened was the CoOp was open and selling NCG merch. They did NOT light the tower until the team returned from Pasadena the next day. As usual, aggy lies.
  9. This is why I love this thread, I’m not certain if this is expert level trolling or pure uncut delusion…
  10. Grand Canyon and UC Davis aren’t playing football in the MWC, they are non-fb members. If you’re including non-fb members you’d need to add ND to ACC, Gonzaga to PAC, and Wichita State to American.
  11. I’m supportive of this message but decline letting anyone lick my taint (other than your mom).
  12. I’m sure they’d look at them, but not sure they are the most attractive option. Without Texas State their western most members are within an hour of the Mississippi River. IIRC last time around the Sun Belt was interested in Missouri State, Eastern Kentucky, possibly bringing back Western Kentucky and maybe even MTSU returning. FIU would be a good return pickup for their market/enrollment as well and Florida recruiting (both athlete and student) is like more applicable to the SBC than Texas.
  13. Yeah not having a medical school will make it difficult but the AAU is about half small/private and a few like Rice don’t have med schools. They would need to significantly increase (5X) their research dollars but if they can get close I have no doubt they could get the votes. With their perception/status and top 100 ranking they fit it with Rice, Tulane, Vandy, Emory, and are now affiliated with the ACC which has 9 AAU members it’s seems like the votes will be there if they can raise their research budget/profile. While I don’t think this is something that will be easily accomplished, I also don’t think it would be unreasonable to set as an aggressive 10 year goal (assuming they are able to separate from the church).
  14. Emory is in there too. But point still stands. Hard to get in as a religious affiliated university.
  15. Harder to get AAU membership when you’re still affiliated with a religious institution. I believe Notre Dame is the only “religious” AAU member.
  16. I agree but ESPN does get hot and wet whenever they get games from Ohio St, Michigan, and Notre Dame. FOX does the same with Texas (why they made us switch our schedule so they could air our games at Michigan and Ohio St).
  17. Lots of bad opinions here. He was a good (not great) president. Got Texas through multiple hard years/situations and left it better than he found it. I wish him well. More concerned with who they bring in next. “The devil you know” and all…
  18. He’s already cancelled.
  19. UC Davis Aggies https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/UC_Davis_Aggies
  20. Reminds me, there was a poorly drawn cartoon of two guys talking one was labeled as the SEC and the other was Mizzou I’ve been trying to find without success. It was something like this… Frame 1: SEC guy says “So did you hear Texas and Oklahoma moving in soon” - blank face Mizzou guy Frame 2: awkward silence-blank face Mizzou guy Frame 3: silence, SEC guy looking frustrated - and still more blank face Mizzou guy Frame 4: SEC guy yells “Get the Fuck OUT!” and Mizzou guy cringes
  21. That’s dumb. But it’s the world we live in.
  22. I still don’t understand wtf is going on here.
