  1. Man I forgot about Rick Barnes, I had wanted him gone since 2004.
  2. Meh haters, will never enjoy the season as much as smart people do. Exhibit A is 2005. It is like hedge betting against your team, yeah they won, but you are down 1k.

    Israel

    Because security wise there is absolutely no difference as there is now, Lets pretend for a fucking second that it is just Gaza, that the WB with all the land stealing, Jerusalem, Dome of the Rock, settlers, partitioned into 5 quasi states (the Edhud Barak deal), 3% land loss. Etc lets pretend the real prize for Israel and the only thing it wants to keep no longer exists. Then we have just Gaza, Israel does not want Gaza, they tried to pawn if of to Egypt, and Egypt said fuck no, you won it fair and square in that sneak attack in 67. Leaving Israel either giving them independence, or continuing apartheid (they control the borders, sea and air, and kill with impunity extrajudicially hence apartheid). I honestly see no difference as a security threat, I mean they still use their brains to smuggle all the weapons they need. Are they ever going to get an airforce or something? Hezbollah is in an independent Lebanon that Israel has no problem violating their sovereignty, if anything they have more to lose and are therefore less crazy than Hamas. Honestly if the WB did not exist Israel would just make any peace deal in Gaza, like literally keep everything, a two state solution would happen yesterday.

    Netanyahu won last year, Gaza has not had elections since VY
  5. Haters will NEVER appreciate 2005 like I did, all of them hedge their bets emotionally and are empty devoid husks because of it. If you are going to be a hater you better be correct.
  6. The same shit will happen in the SEC. Too many teams means no true round robin for the CCG. No divisions means no round robin for the division title. Lastly pods could work had they gone to a 4 team conference playoff. This will be the future there is no way around it. And yeah the 2008 nightmare is still possible even with a perfect system.
  7. That was the single best throw I have ever seen a Texas QB make. I am not talking stakes or anything like that, but if Quinn can run outside the pocket and nail a WR in quadruple coverage at exactly the perfect window... if he could bottle that and replicate it he would never lose a game in his life. Oh yeah our fans are idiots. Like the worst fucking thing to listen to or read their posts.

    Israel

    This has been the Israeli objectives since I have been tracking Likud #1 One state solution, Palestinians have 0 rights, "peace" (This was the pre Oct 7 reality and why Bibi wanted to prop up Hamas recently). This is the apartheid solution #2 One state solution, Palestinians have 0 rights, war (our current reality) apartheid and bombings of civilians whether accidental or not. #3 Two state solution, Palestinians rights are irrelevant since they have their state, peace. ..... #45464 One state solution, Palestinians have equal rights, real peace. The fact that what seems like the ideal solution is the absolute worst possible outcome for Israel is why I think they are the bad guys, Hamas is too but they don't have the power of Israel. The last options seems to be what the next generation of palestinians want, in no small part because that is the last thing Israel wants.
  9. Before 2016 Something you need to understand this is that it is a single issue nonsense. When someone screams that their number one issue is the economy it generally signals that they are a republican to begin with hence it is always the Ds fault, the thing is all of these single issues never really propel someone past 50%+1. At the end of the day there is a monstrous 45% of the country that would butcher us all if they got real power, we all need to vote and volunteer to help people vote, fixing the economy is imporant but it is no longer "it's the economy stupid" . This is my litmus test for navigating the modern political landscape, always look at polls that are over 51% of all respondents. (and Likely voters) Republicans winning on the economy 45% R to 1% D is fucking meaningless, they still lost the election.
  10. My entire takeaway is that A&M is too poor to hire Lanning.
  11. If she were smart she would stay and piss them all to hell and back talking shit about Texas A&M football. When you live rent free in other people's head it is just plain fun.
  12. To be fair message board idiots are easy enough to manipulate. Eating paint chips is the least of their worries.
  13. Yeah you can argue that, I disagree but it has mereit, but at the same time old school statistics are near worthless.
  14. There is no system that is perfect, you need a pretty large sample size and a willingness to make the right call (see the reddit block drama of the DPOY from the NBA last season) Still if they are blocking the wrong guy, they still blocked someone, the play was a bust, a most likely sack. But the old system of QB sacks would not have done any better. That said coaches internal stats are always better of course, but those are not exactly shared, much less to NFL scouts.
  15. Damn, got me there. Stumped, change the team to Miss St and have them mudhole them and them only.
  16. I can't wait until I start liking Jimbo for once, I would really like it if he went to West Virginia cashed two checks and started winning Big XII championships.
  17. I 100% agree with the premise but Jimbo was a disaster hire, his failure at FSU near the end, his quiet quitting, his OL collapse, the players he picked sucked. All of it was leading to the inevitable failure we are all expecting. Aside from Kingsbury there is not a single glaring failure in the list of coaches they are looking at. But yeah aggie culture would fuck up even Saban.
  18. Exactly, the gist of the strategy today is going for the absolute best nationally, use the Texas brand for a legacy kid, or a kid that was a fan since youth (like Arch), but relationship with Texas HS coaches is at the bottom of the pile in terms of requirements.

    Yeah the line is very very good as a pass blocking unit, top 3 in P5 with only Oregon and Georgia doing better. I get that it is average at best at run blocking but there are a lot of potbangers that don't get that as an unit they are gelling hard. Just for lulz A&M is ranked 250, but they have done better lately (have not watched their last game).
  20. Yes they do, Milroe is second, Weigman is around 50, Max 66, Quinn is around 100 and Bo Nix is around 140. Min 20% snaps

    Min 20% snaps but the top two were the same regardless of snaps
