  1. "He's a good kid that wanted it to work out at Tech badly." So, he's just not very bright, huh? I guess I'll be charitable and call him geographically naive. Does that NIL include the cost of therapy sessions for being at College Station?
  2. Well, Norman is close to being the garden spot of fucking Oklahoma. My kids have never been to Oklahoma, but they all know the answer to this: "Why doesn't Texas fall into the Gulf of Mexico?" BECAUSE OKLAHOMA SUCKS! Simple truths, man, simple truths.
  3. Spot fucking on. Tech is a "never was and never will be." I grew up in West Texas, and there is no way on God's green Earth (which doesn't include Lubbock, at least for the green part) I would have gone to Tech, True stories: 1. My freshman year at UT, Sport's Illustrated named Tech the "Campus most resembling a Federal Penitentiary." 2. My kids were raised in the California Bay Area. Whenever they complained about something, I used to tell them "Look, Daddy was raised in a post-Apocalyptic industrial wasteland. I don't want to hear it."
  4. Well, in all fairness, not visiting College Station probably does increase their chances with a recruit.
  5. "For decades now we've kept our program in good enough shape most years to qualify for the elite." ???????? In what universe is that statement true?
  6. It's A&M, remember? They're not gone. They just ran out of fucks to give.
  7. I think they hate the place, want more money/playing time, hate the coaches/situation, and really, really hate the fucking place. Oh, and they don't give a shit about the 12th man, either. In ye olden days, my father spent his freshman year at A&M. He used to tell us about the day a rabid Corps turd started screaming at him "it's time to decide if you're one of us or not?" He transferred to UT, never looked back, and said that was one of the best decisions he ever made.
  8. That's what I think people get so frustrated about. At times, Quinn really looks the part of a Heisman QB. Other times he doesn't. He just has limitations. He still has done a lot for this program,, which deserves respect.
  9. Each failure is not independent. They have common causal factors: (1) Jimbo's well-known penchant for indifferent offensive line play; (2) a comically stale offensive identity; (3) liberal inclusion of character risks; (4) poor roster management; (5) prison-like campus architecture; (6) teenagers deposited into a culture resistant to, shall we say, normality; and (7) possibly traumatized by a jizz jar. Still, the 2022 class did collapse like a bonfire. It's actually impressive in its own fucked up way.
  10. I think you should quit while you're behind.
  11. The only important thing is that Aggie fucked up and humiliated themselves in epic fashion, proving that perhaps there is a God with a just and provident plan. Or at least a sense of humor.
  12. The only thing Elko is boxing Sark out of is the Golden Corral buffet.
  13. Well, something's got to fill that Hall of Champions, and the Wiley Coyote collection was getting embarrassing.
  14. They believe their own shit. They are salt-of-the-earth, homespun, honest folk. God's children. Austin is a den of iniquity populated by scum without honor. So, psychologically, they have to be better than us. Their whole worldview demands it. They have to have tried harder than us, we have to have cheated if we beat them, and there have to be conspiracies holding back their innate greatness. Otherwise, they're just a bunch of dumb rubes that everyone laughs at. It's a religious mentality built on absolutely nothing.
  15. I think we should since Vince is no longer eligible.
  16. A little sensitive, don't you think? Have a nice cookie and relax.
  17. But what about our wholesome, God-fearing, deeply strange, and cringy Yell Leaders? And our dog cemetery? And our collection of ridiculous, pre-World War II, mandatory cheers? Not to mention the opportunity to play soldier on a campus of Brutalist architecture that would embarrass a hard-core Soviet. And the elephant walk? For God's sake, the fucking elephant walk! And squeezing your left nut? How can all that not speak to the kids off today? Just you wait you degenerate Sips. The sleeping giant has awakened (clap harder all you lousy 2 percenters). Texas A&M has a great future and always will have.
  18. Mackovic wasn't a bad hire at the time. You have to remember our offense at the time was like something out of the Stone Age, had been for a while, the 1990 fluke aside, and the fan base was sick of it. Mackovic was brought in to fix that, and he largely did. His weakness was defense. Ironically, by getting fired when he did, he left the program in much better shape than McWilliams. The bad taste of that 4-7 season in 97 disguised a roster in relatively decent shape, which helped Mack Brown's regime get a jump start in 98. McWilliams left a total rebuild in his wake.
  19. Well, that's just part of being the hunted, right? People deliberately diss you on trivia questions. That's how you know you've arrived.
  20. Hmmmm. Los Angeles or fucking College Station? Congrats to Longstreet for not being a hopeless moron.
  21. It's simple math, right? You want two years out of Arch, and if his upside is as high as it looks, he'll definitely be gone after his RS Jr year. I actually like Quinn, but one way or another, this is his last year at Texas.
  22. Well, he did have to live there for a few years. I'd be bitter at that.
  23. Just because a line got written into a movie doesn't make it clever. Again, I'd lose it. Even if I was Billy Bob Thornton. It only sounds clever if you turn your brain completely off.
  24. "Hope in one hand and shit in the other, see which fills up first." ??? Is that supposed to be clever? I'll hope in my mind, like everyone does, and leave shitting in the hand to you. Hope you don't make a habit of it. Seriously, though, I'd lose that retort. It's all kinds of stupid if you give it even a nanosecond of thought.
