  1. Ah, if life was only that easy, my old friend. It's not easy to transfer to another school, just like it's hard to leave a job when you hate your boss, cause life. Sometimes you just have to live through it.
  2. I wouldn't be surprised, based on the way he would go after players on his sideline rants due to their failure to 'execute.' He would venture far out on the field to pursue them with his rants. He is the worst manager I've seen in a long time and I already miss him so much. Here's a look back at the glory that was the Appalachian State game.
  3. Seriously, I thought nothing could shock me about Aggy, but I am astounded at the incomprehensible folly of this fiasco and their reaction. This is the absolute worst hiring and firing disaster of all time, and on Texags dudes are spinning it to say this is a good thing and shows how committed they are to success. It's insane.
  4. Ewers' last pass for the big completion was a thing of pure beauty. He is so talented.
  5. suppose I shouldn't begrudge them; they have so little to celebrate in actual competition or even as human beings. Jesus Christ, that is effing harsh. And i cant' stop laughing.
  6. So it has been decreed. Let it reverently shine in it's venerated home for evermore.
  7. You really have to break down the calibre of the competition. With the Johnson QB, it does sound like it will be a great game.
  8. As far as Lake Travis vs Johnson, I don't see how Johnson can hang with LT. Johnson won a tight game w/ a 6-5 New Braunfels school 36-31. LT has one bad loss to Dripping Springs, but that is a very good team which could make it to the semis or even finals. LT played Westlake very tough and knocked off #4 ranked Vandegrift. I dread the idea of having to face LT in the quarterfinals, as it's hard to beat a team twice in one season. @Longhorn94
  9. Westlake and Reagan do share a common opponent: Round Rock Reagan beat em 35-28 Westlake won 35-3 Westlake doesn't pack the same offensive firepower that we have in past seasons, but the defense is as salty as ever. One aspect of Westlake that makes the team so successful is the attention to special teams. They always block punts, especially in the playoffs, with key punt blocks last season against San Benito and Brennan. However, Westlake begins and ends with the offensive and defensive lines. I expect a hard-fought game with Westlake's line being the difference in the 4th quarter. Westlake isn't strong enough to overcome North Shore or Duncanville, and we may even lose to a rejuvenated Lake Travis in the quarters. @Longhorn94
  10. The final score was 28-7. No one cares what almost or could have happened. That is beatdown on any level of a top-ten team and easily Duke's biggest win that I can remember. One of my daughters graduated from Duke and we went to the Virginia game on parents weekend three years ago. There were more people in the stands of our HS game than there was in the Duke stadium that day and Virginia is a big rival. Now you have sellouts, a beat-down of Clemson and a last-minute loss to Notre Dame. Elko is a good coach.
  11. Also beat Clemson bad and took Notre Dame to the last possession with a QB no other school wanted. He's hardly failing.
  12. The Bjork press conference is...interesting. Bjork mentioned a very contentious board meeting last Thursday. He implied that there may have been shouting. Following the meeting but prior to the MS game, he claims he informed Welsh that Fisher wasn't working out and that they needed a change. I'm calling bullshit on that one. I think powers that be delivered an ultimatum to Bjork. "You created this mess and if you don't fire him, you're gone, too." When I think of Bjork's version about him calling Welsh and telling him a change was needed, I think of Bernie Madoff's version of his downfall, where he claims he called his sons into his study and confessed to them that he had been perpetrating a fraud over the last 35 years. Yeah, they didn't know. Sure, that's what happened. Is Bjork next? He should be. I actually feel sorry for the people who have financially supported their football program. The financial mismanagement is borderline criminal . FROM SI: On Sunday, just before 9 a.m., Bjork and Welsh met with Fisher inside Kyle Field to inform him they were making an immediate change. Bjork said the meeting was “quick and cordial.” We so need video for this one. BONUS EDIT: There is a strong spin going on right now on Texags that this firing should scare the rest of the college football world cause it shows how Texas A&M doesn't tolerate mediocre results and will pay any price for excellence. I have no words for this.
  13. Watched the Bjork press conference. Pretty entertaining. How he still has a job is beyond me. Fired Jumbo today at 9am and also fired his Athletic Director Football. He can follow Jimbo to Lamar University or Slippery Rock. Then they told the team, but they already knew, of course. Looks like Jumbo package didn’t even get to say goodbye, lol. Oh, well. Those players never learned how to execute anyway. At least they can never take away the future championship trophy they gave Jumbo when he arrived. Even by the most Aggiest of standards, that is a profoundly dumb event that I still only half-believe actually happened. The timing is very interesting. Is it to save as many recruits for the early signing day? All coaches reach an age where the game passes them by. Jumbo was that guy, always thinking he just needed the right players to execute to make his offense a success, just like it was 10 years ago. Many Aggies noted that despite Petrino, the offense looked very similar to the one they’ve been running for years. That pretty much tells us that Jimbo and his ego wouldn’t allow any changes. I’m gonna miss him. He’s probably my favorite coach. Watching his legendary press conferences was beyond entertaining. His lack of awareness to how he came across in them was really fun, too. Bye, Jumbo.
  14. @Helobious should Westlake be worried about Reagan? I know you said they have a good QB and they're undefeated. Looks liek tye blown out most of the teams they've played. We rolled Brennan last year. Are they better?
  15. Perhaps Petrino undermined him
  16. Also, for some helpful career advice, it's not a good idea to get super-drunk the night before you head out to a big project with the new client and you're driving in a car with him and holding a barf bag in your lap.
  17. I think this is terrible news. I have developed quite a fondness for Jimbo. His press conferences following a loss are easily my favorite thing about college football.
  18. That happened to me for about a year after an unfortunate night in Las Vegas. Just the smell of Tequila would turn my stomach.
  19. Spent afternoons with him in 2022 and again in 2023. Plenty of pics. He's a terrific young man.
  20. I stopped after a mezcal margarita and a bottle of Negra Modelo. Thinking of going to straight mezcal. I recommend Vida by Del Maguey
  21. Those of us who have always supported Quinn are enjoying this game.
