  1. As promised, here is my Quinn Ewers update. I got to spend yesterday afternoon with Mr. Ewers. It's the third summer I've been fortunate enough to do so. He is such a great young man. He's really friendly and low-key. (Everyone is a young man compared to me) Dude has some pretty impressive tricks with the ball and what an arm! I had him sign two footballs. Now I have Quinn, Colt McCoy and James Street-signed footballs. The Quinn one is easily my fave-ever autograph. I'm keeping one, but stay tuned for Surly news about the other one, cause I want it to end up in one of your homes! Thanks!
  2. My beautiful darlings. I got to hang yesterday afternoon with my boy, Quinn Ewers. This is now the third summer I have been blessed to spend a little time with him. He is such a nice young man. He's quiet, really personable and will represent any franchise well at the next level. He looks a little taller to me, but maybe I am shrinking. Dude has a cannon for an arm. He made some amazing throws. This year, I brought two footballs for him to sign to go along with my Longhorn QB collection. Collect 'em all! I'm keeping one, but stay tuned for Surly news about the other one. It could involve you! Cheers!
  3. Florida State was glad to get rid of Jimbo. Fans would have happily helped him pack. That's how dumb Aggy is. I miss Jimbo at Aggy. Probably my favorite coach of all time. His post-game press conferences following losses were works of art.
  4. I think this is probably what hurts most for the Aggies. They can delude themselves that Texas A&M is some magical place, but yet again, they have been reminded that outsiders don't think the same. You have a coach who could have stayed there and been beloved, and even willing to suffer the hate for choosing their hated rival, LOL! Texas Radio for your enjoyment. Billy Lucci knew everything all along, controlled the whole situation, blah, blah, blah.
  5. Everyone always criticizes reporters in press conferences here for always asking softball questions. You finally have a reporter with the cojones to ask what is on everyone's mind, and people are criticizing him for doing so.
  6. Thanks. Def sounds like the moves of a coach on life support.
  7. Okay, so can someone catch me up on the Pierce story that, along with his shitty coaching, supposedly led to his downfall? According to FCB, (I was listening to Texas Sports Unfiltered on YouTube - shoutout to Brad Kelner) Pierce had a meltdown with a player and kicked the dude off the team. The team apparently wasn't thrilled with this move and there was some sort of rebellion amongst the players, with them demanding he re-instate the player. The player was put back on the team the same day. Can anyone provide any more info?

  9. Wow. Pierce kicked a player off the team? Players rebelled! WOW. FCB reporting now.
  10. Jeez, I've never seen so much Aggy Gold on Texags right now. It exhaust me just thinking about converting it all into fun.
  11. Brilliance.
  12. I am hoping to have an awesome update on Quinn next week.
  13. Never forget the brotherhood that exists between SEC and the the Aggys.
  14. That would certainly make him unique amongst college coaches.
  15. Epic work. Let's hope this comes back to bite those idiots.
  16. Here is a good article about the famous 1913 Notre/Army game that changed the way the game was played. Knute Rockne was the end that caught the passes. Aside from the very first game between Princeton and Rutgers (as pointed out by @WelfareBuysMyWeed,) this is probably the most important college football game of all time. The rules were changed in 1912 to allow more passing, but both passing and Notre Dame was unknown to the national audience. Some interesting tidbits: Notre Dame was an unknown school that big schools avoided scheduling due to it's Catholic heritage Players had to be at LEAST 5 years behind the line of scrimmage to throw a pass. This rule stood 'til 1945. Army had players who had graduated from other colleges 3 years previously, but were allowed to play since they needed additional military training. Uh huh, sure. The ball had been recently re-shaped to make passing easier Thanks to this game and the NY Times article about the game, passing became a popular weapon to keep the defense off-balance Texas played Notre Dame that year and lost to them The write of the Most influential College teams of all time is an idiot
  17. Maybe it's just me, but while they didn't invent the forward pass, Notre Dame Introduced the forward pass to a stunned nation when crushing a dominant Army team in 1913. The game electrified the nation and changed the way the game was played forever. This moved the sport away from rugby and made it the unique sport it is today. To me, this is way more influential than the Wishbone offense, which is no longer even used today. The Wishbone was great, but it didn't fundamentally change the game. No comparison.
  18. I think we’ve seen Ewer’s ceiling. Dude is a gamer but limited. Manning had great upside but telegraphs his throws. Plus, his uncles are toxic and causing Sark to ‘lose the locker room.’ He’s going to be fine as a stopgap starter until Owens can get up to speed. Owens has all the intangibles and should be starting by game 3, but I don’t think he can keep us in the game vs Aggy, who has the deepest QB roster and finest traditions in sports. They are winners and I am pushing for the Surly/Texags Summit, so we can learn from them what it takes to dominate the SEC. Cole Lourd is the answer. I see him starting by game 4 and winning the Heisman. Book it.
  19. I never get tired of this thought: her husband claims she was “simply expressing her opinion.” Well, the security officer was also simply expressing his opinion.
