  1. I think that was determined a long time ago. Jones is a sack of shit. Absolutely.
  2. I read an article today claiming that the tackle used on Pollard when he was hurt should be made illegal. Like the horse collar tackle. What do people here think? I watched the play again and that tackle doesn't seem to be an identifiably dangerous technique like the horse collar. It just looks like one big man lunging to bring down another, which is what tackling is. You can't make it a nonviolent act. Sure, on slow motion you can see how the injury occurred, but in real speed there doesn't seem any intent to do harm. It's just two guys going down in a tumble where the positioning of each body is essentially random. You can't make simply grabbing someone from behind, or grabbing someone by the waist, a penalty can you?
  3. To be fair, he's a perfectly adequate, sometimes even good, regular season QB. But he doesn't elevate his game come playoff time, apparently because of certain limits in his ability. And I'd have to agree that, at this point, it's unlikely coaching or more reps can overcome that.
  4. Danny White was quite effective for a few years until both he and the overall team aged out.
  5. I was listening to some of the post-game chatter, and a fair amount of it was how sick the Cowboys should be for squandering "their chance." I realize fucking Jerry contributes to this by pretending every year is the Cowboy's year, like it's some kind of birth right, but why does everyone else have to play along? It's been 27 years since the Cowboys won a second-round playoff game. Now, I realize Jerry and company have finally assembled a team with decent talent, but based on the record, all that entitles them to is recognition as a potential playoff team next year. They don't belong in any discussion of the NFL elite and won't until they start consistently producing meaningful playoff wins. But on the plus side, it was amusing to see that last play on multiple replays, with Zeke getting absolutely annihilated as Center.
  6. After all these years of futility, I really can't bring myself to begrudge anyone stealing some of Jerry's money.
  7. He's an above average QB. Unfortunately, he also appears to be the living embodiment of the old cliche "Just good enough to get you beaten in the playoffs.'
  8. That was an amazingly shitty game until Roger Staubach came in and took off. Thus ended any talk of keeping Craig Morton as a starter. He wouldn't win a Super Bowl for Dallas until the 1977 season, when he was playing for Denver. 😀
  9. I think it comes down to whether they can rattle Purdy, which will require some at least intermittent success against the SF running game.
  10. Anyone else think we're going to see more uninteresting routs when the playoff expands to 12 teams?
  11. I'm surprised how badly Dak performed.
  12. I think your guess is correct. He's trying to say that if the Ags had scored seven more points in each game they lost, their record would have been 10-2. So, yeah, if they'd scored more than they actually did, their record would have been better. Duh. To quote Vince Lombardi, that's just how losers talk.
  13. Curious about your opinion. I know several relatively well-off Aggies who are almost normal. They all claim this current mess is connected Texas & Oklahoma joining the SEC as well. They claim even though A&M would never admit it, a lot of their money players got wind of it early and were badly shaken. They had envisioned themselves as the lead program in Texas due to being in the SEC and expected to have their choice of top recruits to feed Fisher. There was supposedly something like a panic attack when Texas and Oklahoma in the SEC loomed up as a possible reality, and that's supposedly why the bags got so big and numerous last year--to preemptively establish the Fisher empire. But they over did it, earning the wrath of their SEC playmates and making Ritz Bitz's well-established ego and personality problems even more inflated. Now they're stuck between a rock and a hard place and can only hope next year's team wins enough to create momentum.
  14. That seems a little unfair to Jacksonville. The Cowboys aren't their Super Bowl. They're just a losing team with a good attitude--they know they need to play better and are trying to improve every week.
  15. Nice.
  16. But you've forgotten the inestimable appeal of being in College Station.
  17. Man, don't you get it. EVERYONE, and I mean fucking EVERYONE from Miami to Seattle, dreams of a life in College Station. The ags are the first choice of every stud in a portal overflowing with them. Just you watch...
  18. It feels damn good to actually have a serious basketball team with a clear and consistent approach to the game that is building on itself as the season goes. It's been a while.
  19. That is all correct and lucidly stated.
  20. Anyone else feel nervous about going into the 4th quarter with a 14-point lead?
  21. PK is just a nice guy. If you don't let your opponent get the first down, they might feel bad.
  22. HANDS DOWN... Best six loss team in the country. Advantage Aggy,
