  1. Another post on that thread pulls the inevitable but still hilarious maneuver of claiming hypothetical wins: JJxvi 6:01p, 8/14/25 If Texas had agreed to maintain the series, we would have won in Austin multiple times...
  2. In regard to ATM’s 2025 schedule, they play 5 true road games. This is an issue that has received very little discussion. ATM has been atrocious on the road for a very, very long time. Here is a link to a Texags thread with the usual ignorance, abject stupidity and trope-huffing that discusses their OOC road futility and attempts to rationalize it. One guy, “Mac94” comes along and rationally lays out actual facts while still aggiefying part of his subjective review. I’ve spoilered his data review posts below. Highlights: -ATM has played exactly 4 true P4 road games over the last 20 seasons. Read that again if you’d like. 0-4 in those games. (I’m not counting a non-P4 SMU in 2014, nor should you) -Since 1995, they are 0-8 against then P4 teams on the road. If you include Utah, Pitt, and SMU, although I’m not sure why you would, that record “improves” to 2-9. -Including bowls and fake P4 teams, from 1995 forward, ATM is 13-26, 11-25 otherwise. -Predictably, several goobers try to p-hack and pine for the golden years of Jackie Sherrill and just remove late Slocum and Fran-tastic seasons altogether. The Mac94 guy comes along and reveals that the Sherrill years provided a 7-13 road/bowl P4 record. -Culturally, ATM is a program in a bubble. People can claim that the right coach will come along and fix it. Maybe. I’m not buying it. They’re a historically bad road team for a program perennially opening nearly every season ranked in the top 25. -My view is that ATM goes 1-4 on the road this season. 0-5 wouldn’t and shouldn’t surprise anyone. https://texags.com/forums/5/topics/3553009
  3. Bobby’s thoughts this morning on scrimmage outcomes, etc.
  4. Outback has always been proprietor-driven. If the proprietor is present and worth a shit, the Outback tends to be consistent and worth it. If not, the place sucks. I worked at the one near the Arboretum in the 90’s and that place was clean and terrific. Back then, they were pushing big on expansion and began watering down the talent and qualifications of who they let buy-in for new locations. It became hit or miss depending upon location. If I’m out in Katy for some baseball tournament or other terrible reason, they have a good one. The one in Sugarland is solid. Others in Houston suck and the one near the Arboretum sucks last time I went also. That said, my kids love visiting them every time. It’s the least expensive option for a potentially good steak available, in my mind. Good Mexican martinis involve lime juice and little to no actual mix. It’s far less sweet than a margarita. Add olive brine and it’s an entirely different taste and experience. Orange juice may or may not make it into either ritas or Mexican martinis, depending upon where you’re buying.
  5. I’ve been assuming that he’s paid to do it. We know that the ATM AD pays Texags over $1M per year because they’ve had to disclose it. I’m guessing they’re paying others. There is simply no way multiple outlets are this stupid in the same exact way. It’s not like Pate comes about his conclusions differently than Texags or other ATM rags, ever. It’s the same shit every cycle and yet he’s not an aggie. He’s getting paid.
  6. My honest worry is that these guys have so completely gone in the tank on the guy that expectations simply cannot be met. If he catches 35 for 600 and 4 tds on the season, there are various idiots who will be disappointed. That would be a solid first season for anyone. That said, our sample size is one target on a bad read from Arch where Jaggy dropped the ball and then Sarkisian could be seen gently berating Manning on the sidelines and saying “don’t throw it to that guy”. I think my expectations are calibrated correctly. It’s all of you who are going to be crying in your beers as Daylan McCutcheon passes him on the DC after the Florida game.
  7. I’m with you. Miss us on this one.
  8. It’s always attended well and sold out. The Irish love it as well. I’d love to see Texas play Notre Dame there.
  9. I am hoping that Kreul is the next Brian Bosworth in all aspects of - douchiness, running his mouth, being a roid freak with some success that leads to OU fans rallying around every stupid thing he does, just being a very loud heel in general. I was hoping he’d be our version, but I’ll settle for the second coming on their end.
  10. Somehow, you twits have made the subject matter of bagging on Baylor boring. A fucking trademark discussion among lawyers is where we’ve landed?
  11. Smith looked great as a freshman and LeFau looked good last year too. I think people like to get caught up in the notion of zero sum competitions during camps, but my outlook is similar to yours. It’s okay to have a bunch of really good to great ball players at numerous positions who can rotate and keep each other fresh.
  12. Here’s Bobby finally coming clean on why McJaggerson is getting so much camp hype:
  13. Baylor stuff? Which scandal? And, yes, for PSU. There were multiple PCs.
  14. Has this scandal been common? Why would anyone expect the most covered college sports scandal of the past half decade to not be handled on this level?
  15. Here’s a Bucknuts reporter recounting DLC Larry Johnson’s takes on the DT depth from last night. In short, they’re running out of time and the sunshine pumping on a bunch of names who haven’t done much since signing is coming to an end. In the process, the coach is making it clear that they’re going to have to rely on an undersized true freshman as their first wave of depth. They are also lamenting Hero Kanu leaving the program after playing sparingly there for 3 years.
  16. If it isn’t harsh, this day won’t end without couch-burning riots near the Ohio State campus.
  17. They looked like dogshit before SECN cut away. Embarrassing. Kelly should be fired on the field if they lose to NW State tonight.
  18. It seems like Cooper is looking to be the only back in the class. Edwards jumped the gun on an offer to somewhere he doesn’t want to go because the money wowed him. I’m fine with the outcome, personally.
  19. That guy saying he wished Manning went to Georgia so he could cheer for him has to be the tiniest dicked poster ever. Just flat out admitting he’s living vicariously through a conference opponent so he can enjoy wins. What a fucking pussy.
  20. I couldn’t believe he was projected (and then taken) in the 1st round. He was picked on regularly and just looked like he sucked. But, hey, he started for Saban in the secondary. I guess anything could happen from here, but he still looks like he sucks. I legitimately thought this was a scene from Sling Blade at first glance.
  21. I am just lazily going off of the generally accepted list of 8 blue bloods that someone wrote about in a defining book in its time. Hell, I don’t even remember the book but I am sure Google or Wikipedia would tell you. This list is generally who is being referenced from that original notion: (in no particular order) -Texas -OU -Nebraska -Alabama -Ohio State -Michigan -Notre Dame -USC I don’t remember the methodology or criteria and I am not convicted about this list changing or not. It just kind of exists for me. It’s no different than public Ivy designation. I don’t care if people want to move Miami of Ohio or William & Mary out or not, just tell me why and don’t remove Texas. Please and thanks. I haven’t bothered to research it myself, but my father, who is as big a CFB fan as any of us and played at Rice, has gone on at least 100 rants in my lifetime about the lack of merit in Penn State’s history. Most of those rants predate Sandusky and Paterno’s pedophile factory. The claim is that Paterno was a scheduling coward as an independent constantly set up his schedule for outcomes that he then didn’t get credit for from the voters, which then led to him perpetually whining in front of mics and cameras. Apparently, that pedo enabler threw a hissy fit in 1969 that Nixon awarded Texas the title live on tv after the Arkansas game. Texas responded by getting PSU invited to the Cotton Bowl. Paterno then called that a UT home game, declined, went to Miami and played in the Orange Bowl where he continued to bawl about Texas. Maybe the blue blood lable-ers are from the same era. The last paragraph. What in the fuck. I laughed. Absurd.
  22. 2nd Scrimmage update spoilered below. Highlights: -The offense is now awesome. -Fasusi running first team. That’s mostly due to an injury to their starter and no depth, but they’re all spinning it that the guy is their Kelvin Banks. -Similar update for Fodje. He’s going to have to play this year, but that’s awesome news. -Still holding a bunch of guys out due to injuries.
  23. You can’t see it for the same reason you couldn’t get into Texas and wound up at Tech in the first place - you aren’t smart enough to see anything on your own. Even when something is spelled out plainly to help you follow things, your room temperature IQ gets in the way.
  24. Ohio State insiders are talking more and more about Serevield moving from OG to LT “seamlessly”. Right. Additionally, the Minnesota transfer, Phillip Daniels, might be their starter at RT. They’re acting like that’s a good thing but he was an also-ran for them in commentary from the spring and summer. Apparently he has gotten into a fistfight at almost every practice with someone. Finally, an insider reveals that Day is treating the Texas game like it is Michigan. “He knows this game is a big deal nationally. “ Yes, please. Prepare for this game the same way y'all have been preparing for Michigan the last 4 years.
