  1. yeah I never really hear about Ohio State or Alabama or Clemson "banking" scholarships, they just take more 4 or 5 stars and let attrition do the rest
  2. You would think that in 2020, people would realize that this "I'm a big secret insider, let me demonstrate that by taking all of the obvious conventional wisdom out there that fans want to believe, and presenting it as firm (but not definite) 'it will happen'" schtick has been done for 25 years on the Internet. But no. We still have fucking retards pulling this shit. If we hire Meyer, this retard can come back and see "see, super insider, I told you". And the "proof" would be that all of the conventional, obvious wisdom about what is likely to happen actually happened. If we don't hire Meyer, the retard has the option to come back and preserve his "credibility" by saying "well things changed" and making up shit to explain it, or coming back and pulling off the dimestore monkey mask to say "GIG EM HAW HAW GOT YOU FAGGIT TSIPS" or just disappearing because he's already milked all of the enjoyment he could get out of pretending to be someone with information. Dude, this shit has been done thousands of times since the commercial Internet launched. The odds of you being what you claim to be, having what you claim to have, and posting it on a dumbass cesspool message board, are probably one in ten thousand. Tits or GTFO, as the saying goes.
  3. That, and when the fans freak the fuck out even in the midst of success, they are not axiomatically wrong. A lot of us were fucking furious after the KSU and A&M losses in 2006 and we were "bad fans" for not giving Mack and his fat happy staff his proper hall pass after 2005. But we were also right, because 2007 was a wasted season before significant changes were made to set up 2008. 2006 wasn't "good enough" and just an aw-shucks season, it was a huge wasted opportunity.
  4. I feel like those always need more color. "Request to Apprehend Due To Knife-Related Violence", that sort of thing, would get more attention. "Request to Apprehend, MAJOR PERVERT Y'ALL, Like Seriously". The way they do it now, even if you're inclined to vigilantism, it just doesn't give you enough background to get you off the couch.
  5. I like the way you're thinking here, but you forget Herman's towering intellect. Like the mighty sewer rat, he's probably too crafty to let you corner him and will just stay hidden until he senses the danger has passed. Also, he probably bites, and has fleas, and rabies.
  6. Isn't that the plot of the first half of The Accused?
  7. the scariest horror stories are the ones that conceivably could come true
  8. I was told that everyone has a favorable view of Aggies. They will halp you find teh football stadium! you will leave Bryan -College Station telling your daughter "fuck that Harvard scholarship ,you're going to A&M like all your family should have if we'd have just known better"
  9. hesitation does not prolong a favorable outcome all waiting around to fire him does is give him a retarded puncher's chance to do something like lose to Oklahoma State and then fluke-win out-- we're 7-3! we've overcome our slow start which was TOTALLY CAUSED BY COVID and now we got momentum for 2021! Alamo Bowl Champions BACK TO BACK, motherfucker!
  10. good thing they waited until the end of October to start playing, that really helped
  11. I'd never say something like that in an actual meeting. No offense intended. We wouldn't be sitting around talking about a third party either (I am not criticizing that, the information and discussion is both valid and valuable), so I get it, this thread is somewhat different than the rooms. I happen to think the way the 10th manifests is unbelievably brilliant in this day and age and I'm a little zealous about it.
  12. I personally really don't want to read this shit when I come to the AA thread. I get that you feel like you've discovered the way and the truth and the life this year, but I'd rather we all stick to the 10th tradition instead of acting like these kinds of little digs are kosher.
  13. You spend too much time analyzing Aggies. It makes you unable to analyze normal human thought processes. No one is saying "$40 million" "ain't shit".
  14. the state legislature is not doing to cut UT"s funding, dramatically or otherwise, in retaliation for us hiring a fucking football coach
  15. one, unless he gets caught with a dead girl or live boy, yes, he will last past the spring semester two, we're talking about hiring Urban Meyer, not Art Briles. I don't know what you think you know about Urban Meyer that would make this such a fainting-couch proposition, but whatever it is, it's not actually true.
  16. James Franklin makes way too many fucking stupid in-game decisions. Pass.
  17. Yup. And Wilson was just one of "those kids". There are a bunch of them in every class. The ones where to one degree or another, it's hard to tell where "I'm happy to be going to <the school I chose>" ends and "fuck Texas!" starts. Ohio had this with kids going to Michigan for a long time, the mostly unspoken but occasionally explicitly stated "the best Ohio players go to Michigan". It's why you can see the bolts in Desmond Howard's neck almost popping when the subject of Ohio State's insane talent advantage over Michigan comes up; that's not the world Desmond grew up in and he has a hard time understanding why Michigan can't just sign the best Ohio kids and bully Ohio State like it's 1991 anymore. It changed. Which gives me faint hope that maybe in my lifetime we'll stop seeing Texas kids sign elsewhere and act like the very act of trying to recruit them was some kind of affront.
  18. oh bullshit, that kid was bound for Ohio State from Day 1. We never had a chance. His kid sister is there or going there on a volleyball scholarship, too. That family had no interest in putting down roots in Texas. that story is 100% Ohio State wishcasting-- things are never so perfect in Buckeyeland that they can't be improved with some embellishment. so not only did they sign Wilson but Texas is ZOMG SO BROKEN UP that he didn't sign here. why Ohio State fans have such a hard-on for Texas, I'll never understand, but it's there.
  19. I'm not going to play the "not from your alma mater" part but I'll at least avoid going with the "all time obvious best player from said alma mater" at the positions QB: James Brown. Obviously Vince would be the pick here but Brown had that same swaggery "we can win any fucking game he starts" vibe to him, though obviously not the same level of talent. RB: Phil Brown. I know this is a WTF pick but I think Brown might be among the most underrated Longhorns of all-time. In another offense, he could have been a 1500-yd rusher. WR: Cris Carter. Boyhood hero. TE: how about H-back, Frank Wycheck, the first guy to play that position when the Oilers went away from the run-n-shoot
  20. an article from 2016, two years before Dwayne Haskins obliterated all of Ohio State's single-season passing records your concern is probably misplaced here
