    1. The current roster might go 11-1 in NCAA Division II. 2. The current roster ain't staying the same next year...Johnson is already out the door, I expect others will follow.

    You could seriously get an AI to write this shit at this point. I think I read this exact same post when they hired Jimbo. Invariably, when they give Elko the Mike Sherman treatment in about five years, this post will pop up again for their next coach. aggy's favorite coach is always the new one they just hired. Just like aggy's favorite QB is the one sitting on the bench. You can set your watch to it.

    I was wondering if she was Billy Liucci in drag...

    It really cracks me up how the aggy sports poet in the above tweet cited the number of CEOs who graduated from their school as an argument to support the notion of their athletic department being elite. Like, what does that even have to do with the price of tea in China? I'm pretty sure if I put that information into an essay regarding how elite my university's athletic programs are, my senior English teacher would have flunked me for going completely off-topic. That whole institution is formed around an identity of an inferiority complex - and specifically, having to artificially pump themselves up as being superior in every possible way to convince themselves that they are not inferior. It's mass psychosis - and not to mention, utterly pathetic. I actually work with a few aggy engineers who are firmly in the 2% crowd, and they're fine. It's the redass dipshits that give me a headache.

    LOL, for some reason I was thinking this wasn't Eric Dickerson. Not sure why! Getting old sucks.

    Oh shit, you're right...I should have even noticed the Pontiac logo on the hood. Furk. Guess I need that second cup of coffee today after all...

    I remember about 20-25 years ago on HornFans there were still discussions of how Jackie Sherrill had FedEx'ed envelopes of money to aggy players. Though giving the recruit who never set foot on aggyland a Camaro has to take the cake.
  9. orangebird
    My very rough back of the envelope estimate the other day was roughly $130 million, so this seems right in line with what I had been guessing. Wow. There are a lot of schools whose entire annual athletic budget isn't even that high. And here we have aggy, spending money like a drunken sailor in a whorehouse. I'd say it's unbelievable...but it's kinda their thing.

    FIFY

    Aw come on, it was just that one episode of drunk motorcycle riding with his extramarital paramour! Could have been any of us, right?

    This reads like a badly-written fanfic. He hated living in Bryan but loved aggy? I think my brain broke just reading that. That was about five minutes and several IQ points of my life I'll never get back.

    You know, I should try that schtick with my boss sometime, just for shits and giggles. I'll just make some shit up and start believing my own bullshit. "I bring a five-star culture to this workplace and deliver unparalleled results. Now pay me $75 million." Anywhere outside of agroidville, that shit gets you laughed out of the building if not outright fired.

    Holy fuck, how does this genius manage to tie his shoelaces every day? He does realize his team went 7-5 in a season where all seven wins came against teams with losing records, right? Plus, if this scholar had managed to actually watch any of Texas's games, he would know that it is our DEFENSIVE line that is overpowering opposing teams, not our offensive line...though our offensive line is improved over past seasons. Somebody get this guy's address, I want Amazon to send him a few more bottles of paste he can eat.
  15. orangebird
    Have you seen their schedule next year? Softer than baby shit. Texas Tech could probably go 10-2 with that schedule.
  16. orangebird
    The mental gymnastics they are going through to make this hire seem like a good idea is really...something.
  17. orangebird
    Bjork has the look of a guy who just came out of the boss's office after an all-morning chewing-out. Probably because that's exactly what happened.
  18. orangebird
    Well, you see, he's going to be in for a really bad time at his next performance appraisal...
  19. orangebird
    I strongly suspect we have Jimmy Sexton and all their fuckery involving Stoops over the weekend to thank for that, more than likely. So...um...yeah.
  20. orangebird
    So it was, "automatic straight to the front of the line at the College Station Golden Corral" that sealed the deal, right?
  21. orangebird
    Well sure...I mean, what coach worth his salt is going to come out and say, "Sweat and Murphy are going to donkey-stomp our undermanned offensive line?" No, good coaches are always going to project confidence in their players. But I agree...Gundy is a hell of a coach, and if a scheme exists to neutralize Sweat and Murphy, Gundy would probably be the one to find it.
  22. orangebird
    Probably corchspeak. I mean, Sweat is one of the best D-linemen in the country, so unless Gundy's plan to neutralize him is to injure him somehow, I'm not sure how else they plan to succeed where 12 other teams haven't. But sure, he has every right to talk his shit until we prove him wrong, based on how we have underperformed against his teams in the past. And I'm hoping we will indeed prove him wrong this time.
  23. orangebird
    Texas - 38 OSU - 17 Rushing yards: 260 I think this one will be pretty similar to the Tech game, but OSU is probably a slightly better team, it's at a neutral site, and Gundy is a much better corch than McGuire. And there will be ref fuckery. So I'm giving OSU the benefit of the doubt on their point total.

    So apparently, "You have reached the voicemail of Nick Saban. Please leave a message. <beep>" counts as an engagement. Noted.

    Bold strategy, Cotton, let's see how it plays out.
