  1. A 16-minute video about how Brazil failed Marta? I'll immediately add it to my favorites.
  2. Hey, since we are using the Burnt End funds to purchase @immamac's Surly Horns' ride, let's chill on the disparaging Cybertruck comments. They aren't appreciated by the committee.
  3. I'm adding Alvin Ailey to your list of great UCLA athletes. Born in Rogers, Texas, Alvin attended UCLA and went on to found one of America's greatest dance companies, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre. He was a great athlete, too.
  4. Remember how D'onta was the afterthought and his brother was the real recruit prize?
  5. Guys, I know I write of lot of stupid stuff here, but I'm gonna be serious; I'm really, really scared of SEC leader Texas A&M University They have traditions that we can't even comprehend, like Bonfire They have the cleanest program and the top academics. Don't believe me? SEE THE BILLBOARD They have the most spirit and they have the most welcoming fans They throw money around like it's nothing and have set records for coach buyouts They have faced the SEC gauntlet and dominated FOR YEARS! And they almost made the playoffs in 2020!!! We have NEVER played the level of SEC teams that we now face, and we can't understand what it takes to do it as well as Aggy has. Just look at MURDERERS ROW that we are facing this season: Mississippi State Vanderbilt Florida Arkanas Kentucky TEXAS A&M That's why I continue to DEMAND that we stage the first annual Surly Horns / TexAgs VIRTUAL SUMMIT so we can learn from them what it takes. We do it on Zoom. We listen and we LEARN.
  6. As has been pointed out previously, possibly by you. Perhaps, like Sark's jacket, that receiver is a decoy, designed to confuse opponents.
  7. It is true that both Dallas and Houston have the majority of tough schools, and I also referenced the student body imbalances, like North Shore, who has amazing athletes, plus an insane 4500 students to choose from vs. our 2800. SIDE NOTE: I do greatly admire Northshore for their amazing success, as their students don't have the resources that Westlake offers their students. However, we have both Dripping Springs and Lake Travis in the same district. Those are two excellent programs and can hang with anyone in Texas. Westlake also traditionally schedules tough early games against top programs, like Katy, and Southlake. Plus during this time, Chaps have beaten Northshore, Katy (twice), Southlake Carrol (twice), Denton Guyer (twice) Steel (multiple times) Atascocita, Katy Thompkins, broke Allen's 57-game win streak in the state semifinal, and others, so I will stand by my claim that it has been an extraordinary run.
  8. Rees Wise. Junior. Very good junior QB who will play at the next level. Lost our great little RB who went to Army. Also replacing offensive coordinator. Will do well, not great.
  9. The narrative is totally different between Texas and Aggy as they entered the SEC. With Aggy, the conversation was, "will they be able to hang w SEC teams?" With Texas, it's all about how arrogant and hated we are, haha.
  10. That dude is a freaking force of nature. He played hurt in their playoff loss, but still was pretty good. He can play at the next level in some capacity.
  11. Fun TikTok about the Top Ten Brands in College Football. Guess who's number one? Comments are fun, too, as some people are too dumb to understand the very simple metric used.
  12. Westlake Chaps, with an unbelievable, seven-straight 6A state semi-final appearances and three state championships in the last 7 years. Westlake's run is impressive considering their student population is 2,800 students vs the 4,000-5,000 student Dallas and Houston schools they face in the playoffs.* *With 6900+ students, Allen HS probably emits its own gravity field.
  13. Good TikTok video about the Top Ten Biggest Brands in College Football. Texas again tops the list. Can you guess where Aggy landed? A. #2 B. #3 C. Not in Top Ten so did not qualify for video
  14. Apparently, they created an entire little city there just for this scam. So evil.
  15. Hot Crypto Friend Update: My hot Asian female friend is angry at me. She says I'm doing myself a disservice by not investing enough of my retirement into crypto through her friend's platform. I don't want to make her mad, so I am going to invest anther $150K. Unfortunately, our meeting-up in Taipei was delayed. She has gotten tied up in some sort of passport issue. I'll let you know when we set up the new meeting! ❤️
  16. Great point. And along with the stadium upgrade issue, Coach Schloss suggested/indicated that because they laid off people he relied on in the athletic department, he could not trust their athletic director. Aggy 'leadership' is so stupid that they can't even make huge sums of money work for them. They really are the embarrassing relatives who inherited money but are too uncouth to live with any dignity and eventually end up broke again.
  17. I need to make a correction to my earlier post. Aggy did not, 'lock in' a coach that no-one else wanted. Their hopelessly stupid contract, which is possibly the most Aggy thing of all time, did not 'lock hm in.' It simply guaranteed the most insane payout of all time to a coach who was marginal in his performance, at best. Coach Jimbo could have walked away from the contract at any time without incurring a financial penalty, not would his new school have had to pay a financial penalty for hiring him. All this for a coach no one wanted! While we have made lots of fun of this criminal waste of money, but I don't believe we have truly explored the folly of it.
  18. Probably my all-time fave quote from Texags
  19. I totally agree with you and don't like to use it. It's just with Immamac's new required post quotas, it saves a lot of time.
  20. We can't compete like Aggy. We aren't a respected part of the SEC fabric, or beloved the way Aggy is. They have owned the SEC since their entry. They have defined winning, spirit, and have the most welcoming fanbase. They have made financial decisions that programs can only look on in envy, like locking in a coach no-one else wanted with a $78M buyout. Plus, they have the traditions all other schools are envious of.
