  1. that would be such a positive sign I'm looking for tea leaves I like, mucking out rot like Oscar Giles would certainly constitute that, the same way Plonsky getting marginalized was a tremendously positive sign that CDC was willing to tackle the $500 pillow culture
  2. Maybe. Maybe there is a change coming at the top at Alabama, and Sarkisian wasn't actually a candidate for that job because the school has someone else in mind, so these guys don't want to stick around and see if they'll still have jobs at Alabama under the new head coach. Assistants move around a lot. Some of that is by choice and some isn't. If you're an assistant at Alabama and you think next year will be Saban's last, following Sarkisian from Tuscaloosa to Austin for equal or better money and an equal or better job title might look preferable to saying "I'll just hang out here and see if I get pushed out in a year or two".
  3. fucking LOL at being excited if we got Mack 2.0-- boy I hope the 2.0 means he can match Mack's 2.0 conference titles in fifteen fucking years that attitude is why we are persistently looking up at the top tier and rationalizing our failure
  4. Leon Fuller is still alive and kicking, let's give him another try
  5. even if he DID "do this", think about the level of sustained success it would take for anyone to be able to legitimately say "it was a slow build but worth it". I'm not even sure there's a reasonable amount of success he could ever get to that would justify the failures of this franchise over the past twenty years.
  6. I would like to see the staff hired and the Big 12 schedule laid out in sequence before predicting an exact W-L, and it's probably folly until the spring recruiting period and transfer portal moves are completed anyway, but I figure we'll be about the same: uneven, up-and-down, out of the conference title race early and then much better once the pressure's off. End up in something like the Alamo Bowl. Probably get boat-raced by OU instead of just losing to them close. Nine wins counting the bowl game. Pre-season Top 5 in 2022, leading to bitter disappointment when we go 8-5 that year and lose to Alabama by 38. As usual, we'll spend a lot of time bemusedly asking "why are we doing <this> on offense? I thought we'd be doing <that>!"-- I mean, remember how it was Tom Herman's offense, not Tim Beck's, so don't worry, and how Sterlin Gilbert would open things up under Charlie so don't worry, and how Bryan Harsin would modernize Mack's offense so don't worry? I took that to heart, partly. I don't worry about it. I just assume it'll be another disappointment. Not a train wreck necessarily, maybe a fender bender in the HEB parking lot, but overall well short of the rhetorical expectations around here. 2023 recruiting will be fucking incredible, though, and that will repeat itself for about one more season before it starts to become obvious that Sarkisian isn't the guy and Texas isn't back and then it will start to fall off badly while we're debating who should replace our newest .675 / .700 no-championships coach.
  7. I'm happy for the players, that their hard work is paying off with wins.
  8. man, I'm glad Alabama stopped buying players
  9. I don't think that's right. When did Fisher lose to Strong, ever?
  10. I saw a few Ohio State games in 2011. This was reminiscent thereof. He's a good coach, but also a complete dumbshit. I honestly wish he could end up at A&M. I think the frustration he would cause them would be epically entertaining.
  11. Amen. If you're not going to run between the tackles, then something like Steelers Roll Left seems like it would be a pretty fucking good call there.
  12. I'm laughing my ass off over the fact that the Rose Bowl gets Notre Dame for the first time in almost a hundred years and the game's being played in Texas.
  13. I like to think at some level he's embarrassed about spending time around Liucci. If nothing else he's done has ever embarrassed him, I like to think that deep down he has that regret.
  14. You are so obtuse that it can only be an act. This, this right here: "their typical full racist “get woke, go broke” frenzy, insisting the NFL was paying dearly for embracing racial equality, the rest of the nation was watching NFL football." That is what I am talking about. That has *nothing* to do with Texas A&M or Aggies. It is an obviously political topic, to wit, should the NFL embrace Black Lives Matter and in doing so, what has that done/will it do to their popularity and business model? A discussion of any of that doesn't belong in a "point and laugh at Aggies" thread. No one is telling you to stop your spergy anti-A&M posting. That is not the objection. Again, the objection is "here's some information about the NFL and how great things are going for them" in this thread. You can believe whatever stupid political wine mom shit you want. Keep it out of the fun "fuck A&M" thread.
  15. if he acted like an Aggie towards the server, he probably did get more than that on his food
  16. I want you to stop dragging politics into the thread. You are not a particularly smart man, but you are smart enough to know that the subject you're referencing in the post I quoted is a lot more complicated than "racist or not racist" or "get woke go broke".
  17. was there an otherwise inexplicable running back rotation last night, even while the offense struggled on five consecutive possessions, that Herman tried to excuse in his post-game comments by saying he wanted to keep them fresh? might I have been making an allusion to that, in a joking fashion? maybe?
  18. We gotta rotate our quarterbacks, keep 'em fresh /Herman'd
  19. if he wins one headman, I'll be pretty fucking surprised
  20. I haven't been this excited about a UT quarterback since Jerrod Heard tore Cal three new buttholes
  21. would you fuck off with this shit?
  22. we have made real progress as a society, as evidenced by the fact that it's not just middle-aged white mediocrities that get recycled in the coaching ranks anymore
  23. if we can get Thompson six years of eligibility like that kid at Illinois, then I guess it doesn't matter that Ewers and his goblin mullet is going to Ohio State
  24. I can read lips. Mensa said "hey you wanna go back in the game" and Sam was like "does it look like it, dickmunch?" and Herman said "hey, be nice, now" and Sam said "fuck your face, you fucking fuckfaced fuck" and Herman said "fine, be that way"
