    You’re confident against byu with MM for four full quarters? They’re gonna stack the box and force him to throw and if he throws passes this Saturday like missiles it won’t be good. Arch isn’t playing this year and if he does it will blow his redshirt.

    alex Grinch not only endorses this post, he’s putting together the game plan just in case.

    At some point no matter how rich you are, pissing away $$ for the same results year after year has to take it's toll one would think.  This season is already a lost cause from their perspective.  And it would be a minor miracle for Johnson to stay healthy the rest of the way through with that OL.  If they get blown out by Lane Kiffin, which is a distinct possibility given matchup problems they will have in that game, these theories may get tested.

    It really only takes one or 2 who really want to see things happen, and Aggies have a few.  There are bigger issues in B/CS that money won’t solve, but as long as there’s hope and emotional investment the money will continue.  
     

    like him or hate him but if not for Red we might be at >50 years instead of only 18. Wasn’t just him but he played a big role and we don’t have a bunch of dumb fucks standing around defending the honor of a racist statue and old klan robes because tradition or whatever their excuses are.

    He never had a heisman that he he recruited. He only had one undefeated season with, checks notes, the greatest college football player of all time. 

    He didn’t recruit a Heisman but he sure as shit recruited the greatest player of all time   
    And he won it all which gives him a pass in my book, it’s hard for me to hate the guy who gave us 2005 with Mc and Mac before and Strong and Herman after.

    as far as Sark goes, he’s had his best and his worst career stretches here at UT, a 6 game skid and a 5 game streak.  He’s 18-13 so far which is <60%, take out the G5 warmups and he’s 12-13.  

    He’s a damn good OC who has not earned the blind optimism that he is or will be an above average HC

    These idiots act like our 2nd worst decade ever in the history of the program is indicative of the future of the program.  Most college football fans think the same thing due to the scorching hot takes of idiots like Kirk Herbstreit.

    They should all pay more attention to the way that Sarkisian is recruiting.  We haven't been this stacked on our roster since before Mack quit recruiting.

    If chimps like Cheeze Its, Oeaux and Lester can win titles then so can Sark.

    It comes from one report in one year a few years ago that they were the #1 revenue generating athletic department in the country (specifically for that year). This was in a year when donations went way up for their stadium renovation, they got a loan for the stadium, and they questionably counted a bunch of that as revenue, which pushed them to #1.

    Ever since then, they "have more money than the sips" 🙄

    It’s all they have.  Aggies are stacking MNCs for their fan base where they can, biggest stadium once, most money, #1 recruiting class of all time.. 

    If you’re in O&G and/or real estate in Texas you know a few Aggies who are very capable, with a prodigious intellect and often girth to match.   
     

    But that’s not their fan base.   Their fan base is the greater Houston suburban insurance salesman, the construction company superintendent and the EMT/volunteer firefighter on wife #3 with 5 boys who might be quality athletes is they weren’t always suspended from school.

    If you have to hit them, ie., it's unavoidable, aim for the hindquarters.  Their center mass is over the front shoulders, causing them to flip up and onto the hood.  Hit the rear, they often spin off and away from the car.  

    During the great ammo shortage the only deer rounds I could find were Federal game shock.  Two seasons went by and I missed every single shot I took. 
     

    So I started hand loading, slowed that bullet down from 3000/fps to around 55-60/mph and added little headlights.   Now I can’t miss, the deer will jump in front of the bullet if they have to.

  7. I guess admitting you have a problem is the first step.  Since the boating accident that claimed all my poor firearms, knives have moved up in status.  Good thing there’s not a flashlight thread

    Players say they are making 6 figures and aggy says none of it is NIL. That seems like a pretty honest and accurate summary of aggy recruiting.

    This is the right conclusion.  
     

    Kids got paid to go to aggy, and aggy told them it was NIL.  Kid hits portal and say they got x amount in NIL.  Portal teams research and find the kid has no NIL deals.   
     

    But hey, no lying, cheating or stealing.

  9. Puerto escondido mexico. 
     

    of course Mrs Bob says authoritatively it is NOT a yellow bellied sea snek because it’s tail stripes aren’t identical to the googles images

  10. For those who love Hawaii but get surly around people and crowds/traffic, Molokai. 
     

    Been to all the big 4 several times, Lanai once and making 3rd trip to Molokai in September.  Direct flight from AUS-HNL on Hawaiian, grabbed the good seats for only 4K round trip, adult kids in the back of the bus for 479/ea  

    Puddle jump to MKK for 136 so an extra 2,500 to bring the 4 kids is not bad at all.  
     

    We stay in the same couple of condos on the SE side, pretty nice waterfront place thats only about 150/night but would be 3x on Maui. 
     

    Coffee and sunrise on the lanai then we head to the west side where the beaches are incredible and deserted to hang and watch sunsets. Actually, all the beaches are deserted.   First trip there we saw exactly zero people on the west side.  Last year there were consistently 7 or 8 people on a 3 mile stretch, but only one couple one day at our favorite little spot.  
     

    There’s an old resort that was deserted the first time we went, last time a few of the units were occupied and we rented one for 60/night so we would have bathroom/shower and fridge while we hung out, plus no issue using the pool.   Sunsets are pretty great, then head back, stop at hotel Molokai or paddlers for food and a bar, then back to the East side.  Get up and do it again.  
     

    Molokai has its own version of the road to Hana, the road to Halawa.  It’s about an hour drive and we didn’t pass a single car the last time we were there.   When we got to Halawa there was a car there and this kid approached us and asks if we are there for the hike to the falls.  We were not, but we chatted for a while while he waited to see if anyone showed up (they didn’t) so we went ahead and made the hike.  Apparently it’s a daily occurrence now and someone from the East side ranch just waits around from 8-9 to see if anyone shows.  
     

    There’s not a lot to do if you crave schedules and nightlife.  Theres a few restaurants and bars, almost everything is closed Sunday, but if you like beach bumming and 4x4 excursions with a Gillian’s island feel to things, this is the spot.  Many of the beaches are accessed by jeep trails, and the car rental place has no rules other than bring it back with gas.

    everyone we encountered were great, there’s a slight undercurrent with a few locals though.  They like travelers but don’t like tourists, don’t act like an aggy.

    and the obvious…
