  1. The funniest and scariest thing about aggy is that it's entirely impossible to discern between what is trolling vs serious. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if that question was a troll job or a serious aggy question. Similar examples: - how scared is bama of jimbo posts - is jff the greatest college qb of all time posts - the fun aggy math posts to determine that they are the better program over some arbitrary period
  2. I haven't really followed the draft, but based on aggy behavior in social media you would assume they are tearing it up relative to "that school in Austin." Decided to take two minutes to see if they actually are, or if as usual they're full of shit and riding the sec coattails. Unsurprising results below. Sleeping giant indeed. Rd 1 Texas: 0 aggy: 0 Rd 2 Texas: 1 aggy: 0 Rd 3 Texas: 1 aggy: 1 Rd 4 Texas: 0 aggy: 3 Rd 5 Texas: 2 aggy: 0 Total (mid 5th round) Texas: 4 aggy: 4

  4. If it makes you feel any better, pretty much everyone is. Who is closest to bama so far this draft?
  5. Interesting you should ask.../nowthis
  6. Brian Davis is about as non threatening as they come. If Sark is paranoid about the media, and wanted to pick someone entirely incapable of stirring up trouble even if they tried, Brian Davis is as good a candidate as you could find. Honestly, when was the last time anyone gave enough of a shit about Brian Davis to be stirred up about something he wrote?
  7. The best part is he didn't even use some of o'neal's most egregious plays (like the lsu td clip that never gets old). He has racked up quite the lowlights reel in his time at aggy. Normally I would say don't shit on a player who consistently plays poorly since it's the coaches fault for still playing him. In o'neal's case, he's earned every bit of mockery coming his way since he never shuts his damn mouth. Never has a player been more fitting for that program...talks endless trash, never backs it up. Perfect aggy.
  8. I'm just going to assume you missed that VY is in the picture. It's ok, we all have oversights.
  9. When the iconic symbol for your town that you include in your "lit" graphic to hype up high school students is...a water tower. What could go wrong?
  10. I heard he walked on the grass (not the kind that got him arrested).
  11. That graphic will never not be funny. Captures aggy's empty hubris so perfectly. Blustering buffoons.
  12. With practice paused for now, are we allowed to carry spring ball later, or does it simply have to be shortened?
  13. Wonder how many subs will be cancelled from this tweet?
  14. If your job is recruiting football players to college station, do you feel better or worse about your chances if the recruits never set foot on campus or interact with the locals?
  15. Maybe since he gets injured like the ghost, he'll end up having healthy years like the ghost at some point?
  16. All this debate about whether cspd should be arresting for that amount of weed or not...take one look at his mugshot and tell me that guy wasn't going to be arrested from the time cspd encountered him, weed or not. That's why you don't spend your college years in CS, chef.
  17. Interesting topic. My wife and I both went to public schools and are both reasonably successful. I went to private for one year and hated it, went back to public. The private school I went to was relatively small, a lot of the kids there had been in the same building with the same kids since kindergarten. For me, it felt really strange. Didn't like anything about it. Because of that experience and both of us doing well coming out of public school, we intend to send our kids to public as well. We both also had parents highly engaged in our education, and are already engaged heavily in our kids at home. The desire to have them in public has impacted a lot of decisions we've made. We currently live in one of the best school districts in the state. If we didn't, we would move. We have thought over the past year about moving, and looked at several areas we would like to live but will not consider bc of the poor public schools. I'll also say, we would like to start our kids in public and work with them to try to make it work, but if there's a safety or academic progress concern that we can't address, I won't hesitate to send them to private. My job is to make sure they get a good education and that they're safe and developing socially at the same time. If those things are not all happening in public, we'll deal with it however is necessary. On the topic of the article, our thoughts on relocation highlight a lot of the problems with fixing public school systems. Where we live now is fairly affluent. High property taxes = good funding for schools = schools that are rated highly = desirable areas to live with high house values and high property taxes. The cycle feeds itself. On the other hand, if we moved to some of the areas we like that have poorly rated schools, we would send our kids to private, and not engage in trying to improve the public schools. I'm willing to bet that's how nearly all people with the means treat this situation, and as a result, the public schools don't improve. I have no idea how you fix that. You're not going to convince parents with means to send their kids to poor performing schools. That is also indefensible. Last thought on this, there is a very large, popular, and expensive private school in our city with the highly rated public school system. That part I do not understand at all. Property taxes are really high here mostly to fund the public schools. If you live here, you're paying those either way. Why live here and pay those taxes for the great public schools, but still send your kids to an expensive private? If we decide to go the private route at some point, there are a ton of areas where we'd be excited to live that would suddenly be an option. I don't understand moving to an area that's expensive largely due to the school system and then but taking advantage of not needing private school. But, it's not my $.
  18. I believe it would more accurately read "a former science teacher."
  19. The "Texas can't be counted out if they were to extend an offer" seems really weird. Are they preparing to claim victory in a head to head that could have happened if we had offered?
  20. If Reggie Real Deal McNeal can recruit half as well as he played, consider Thompson a lock to Clemson.
  21. It really is funny watching what's happened with other sec fanbases over the last few years. I'm sure when aggy joined, they took the feedback from Texas fans with a grain of salt. Every flagship state school thinks their little brother state school is backwards and weird, so I'm sure they assumed it was just rivalry talk. Even when they released their hilariously and unintentionally awful welcome video, I'm sure most fanbases just said "ok...that was weird." But prolonged exposure will always bring out the truth, and I think most of them now understand why we said no takebacks. The fact that so many years into this experiment, years where they've managed to beat the top teams in the west exactly once, they're now proclaiming that saban's reign is over is just so perfectly aggy I can't explain it. They really are a fun bunch of freaks to observe so long as it can be done safely, from a distance.
  22. Something has to distract the defense so that the tight end and rb get open.
  23. I love the fact that they're now relying on bama to win recruiting battles on their behalf, too. Is there nothing these idiots won't ride saban's coattails on? Don't answer, I already know. Also, rep x 1000 to texifornia for doing the lord's work in this thread. Glorious tears to behold.
  24. When I was on the urban hype train, the number 1 reason why was that our recruiting had imploded and it seemed critical to turn it around quickly. I was certain urban would, and my only real hesitation when sark was announced was whether he was a big enough name to do it. Then alabama absolutely schooled osu's defense, giving sark a nice sales pitch to offensive recruits. Then he hired this staff. I'm no longer concerned from a recruiting standpoint. Let's fucking go.
