  1. "Especially when Texas was mudholing the ever living fuck out of OU"
  2. Whether they did or not, it's hilarious how it worked out for both sides.
  3. I don't disagree that Nebraska and Miami are fucked, but they feel different. Unlike those programs, aggy hasn't slowly faded from national relevance (mostly because they never had any). The difference to me is that this is a program who loudly and publicly declared they were going to buy their way to championships both through recruiting and coaching hires. As annoying as it was to watch, I had to admit they were following the Georgia model and we've seen where that leads. I don't think Jimbo is a great coach, but fucking Mack Brown and Greg Davis won it all with the right recruits. The fact that in the middle of this buy their way to victory campaign the entire thing has very suddenly collapsed is almost hard to explain. Only aggy could put so much on the line and lose it all so quickly with no path to recovery. They're a blackjack player who screamed for everyone to come watch them place a huge bet, only to lose it in all 15 seconds.
  4. I was talking with my brother today and questioned, is the level of fucked aggy is currently completely unprecedented? Not only is Jimbo crashing and burning in embarrassing public fashion in year 5, their insane contract makes him untouchable, the transfer portal means his past recruiting successes can be wiped out immediately, their best players are quitting midseason, legitimate NIL has all but eliminated the advantages of their bag game leaving them with an unimaginably poor recruiting class for 23, no transfer portal candidate with other options is going to be excited to jump to a program where the current roster is fleeing, and to top it all off, they've somehow managed to embarrass themselves extremely publicly week after week this season with shit like the midnight yell finally seeming to hit mainstream attention. It is genuinely hard to imagine another program that has been as fucked in every direction possible as aggy is right now. I can't possibly see a way for them to pull out of this in the short term, and that includes if they actually found a way to pay Jimbo's buyout. They welcomed him to bcs with a red carpet and he's going to burn the entire place to the ground before he leaves.
  5. Can we petition @immamac to change @Bruh Man name temporarily to Fluh Man? Maybe just for the rest of aggy's season. That shouldn't be too long.
  6. Howell posted that he didn't feel a decommitment was imminent at 12:41 and Hill tweeted his decommitment at 1:13. Maybe by "not imminent" he meant not in the next 15-20 minutes. 32 minutes is another matter entirely.
  7. It will be funnier when they don't get to do it because they lose.
  8. I guessed this was likely, but what the fuck is their plan to manage this? Next week when they're out, do they still have the "flu?" At some point the bs is going to get pretty obvious, but then again, we're talking about aggy. They'll pretty much eat whatever shit Luigi feeds them and like it. Prolonged, season ending flu epidemic isn't the least believable thing they've accepted as true.
  9. Concussions and Head Injuries The skull protects the brain against penetrating trauma, but does not absorb all the impact of a violent force. The brain is cushioned inside the skull by the surrounding cerebrospinal fluid. Despite this, an abrupt blow to the head, or even a rapid deceleration, can cause the brain to contact the inner side of the skull. ~~~ See...it's the flu.
  10. Seems the Sexton thing is likely a rumor, haven't seen it show up anywhere other than their boards. But, if it was true, I'd imagine the conversation went something like this: aggy: Jimmy, we're here to discuss a negotiated buyout JS: I'm sorry to hear that. Let's take a look at the contract and...look at that! Looks like we're due the full contract amount. That will be fine for us. aggy: ok, but let's be reasonable. This hasn't really gone like we thought it would and now we need to hire a new coach. You can't realistically expect to hold us to that... JS: well, that's fair. I'm sure if you weren't ok with these terms you probably never sign...oh, but look! Look right here, fully signed by both parties. Extended even! aggy: ... JS: I think we're done here. Next time you have some bullshit to peddle, just set up a zoom. Always a pleasure doing "business" with you fine folks. I really mean that.
  11. If Lou is who would need to sell Jimbo out on lying to give aggy cause, Lou might become very wealthy soon. I bet Lou's loyalty will cost significantly less than Jimbo's buy out.
  12. The joker costume is getting all the love, but this is the real gem for me. I had to look it up to confirm it was real. It's not only the line, but the delivery is just fantastic. Shitting all over Jimbo at his own house.
  13. Is there any doubt that at least a few calls with lawyers happened last night/this morning to discuss the concussion situation and potential that it constitutes cause? No doubt if he actually pulled the kid away from a concussion evaluation that's worse than the bs tech used on leach. Plus, they're desperate and need to latch on to any opportunity Jimbo gives them. Maybe it all just goes away, but if you see Richard J or Brent Z write up something about Jimbo endangering athlete health, watch out. That will all but tell you the AD is going to make a run at this.
  14. "Why was he around those guys? Those are some bad dudes." - Art Briles
  15. Jimbo trying to make sure he can't still use this as a redshirt year.
  16. It's almost like if aggy made a really dumb decision, like extending an unproven coach for 10 years and 100 million dollars, they would try to weasel out of the agreement by desperately looking for grounds to fire him for cause rather than living with the consequences of their bad decision.
  17. This is my favorite shot in a long time. Hadn't seen this one yet with Rojo. That's badass. I loved Whittington celebrating for how long he's waited to be healthy through a season and Rojo sure as hell deserved ending his career vs ousucks like that. Both of those guys were exercising some demons here.
  18. I'm just going to assume this is like guys sitting out training camp until their contracts are renegotiated. I'm basing this on nothing but the fact that it makes me happy to believe it. But with lucci's post about $ and the extraordinary number of guys out, you never know...
  19. So far this year we've played up for the games we should. It seems our team has motivation/preparation issues for the games that aren't exciting on paper (tech, isu). Even with the loss last week, osu is clearly a team you need to beat to stay in play for the big 12. We should be motivated by the challenge. The real unknown is that we haven't played well in a true road game yet. We're clearly improving, let's see if we're ready to turn that corner yet.
