  1. One thing I’d add here is the ramifications of having RFK Jr in any position related to public health. Giving him any kind of power to limit vaccine availability or at bare minimum spread vaccine misinformation is horrifying. And the dangerous part here is that this affects a lot more people than just those who refuse to get the vaccine. My dad is severely immunocompromised from cancer treatment, so more antivaxxers running around spreading preventable diseases to people whose bodies aren’t capable of handling those infections is just going to cause unnecessary and preventable pain, suffering, and death. And that’s not even getting into ramifications of his proposal to remove fluoride from water or any other health issues that he’s in no way qualified to oversee.
  2. My dad finally finished his chemo for follicular lymphoma. Met with the oncologist last week and it seems that the treatment did the job. He did stop short of saying he was in “remission” simply because this is form of lymphoma is indolent and basically incurable. The most recent scan did show no evidence of cancer, so obviously that’s a huge win. He’ll still receive maintenance immunotherapy infusions every six weeks for the next two years, but thankfully the immunotherapy is much easier on him than the chemo. Now, it’s just a matter of keeping an eye on his blood work and doing the best we can to stay safe in cold and flu season with his compromised immune system.
  3. Hold X/A to keep the ball on a triple option or read option. Basically the exact opposite of what it was in the old games. For the RPOs you have to tap the receiver icon before handing it off, so you have to make a pretty quick read or know exactly where you want to go before the snap.
  4. What ever happened with that guy? Is he still around?
  5. Saying “A&M baseball is not a stepping stone program” roughly 10 mins after it is confirmed that A&M baseball is indeed a stepping stone program is an amusing lack of self awareness, even by aggie standards
  6. If I remember correctly, Sark was announced the same day Herman was fired
  7. “$200,000 is a lot of money. We’re gonna have to earn it.”
  8. Welp, my dad was officially diagnosed with stage 3 Follicular Lymphoma. Doc wants to start treatment next week with a Bendamustine+Rituximab regimen. The oncologist said overall this has a favorable long-term prognosis, but in the immediate term they said the treatments may be pretty rough on him. Although they did also add a disclaimer that different patients respond differently and some don’t have hardly any side effects. Luckily I live pretty close so I’ll be able to check in and keep an eye on him regularly, take him to appointments, etc. Definitely would appreciate any advice y’all would have for caregivers of someone going through chemo.
  9. Yeah I dropped Texas Sports Unfiltered after listening to BK talk about watching a hobo shit in a red solo cup on a Texas-OU pregame show. Totally pointless drivel most of the time.
  10. Agreed. Really liked the time slot for the Tech game this year. Don’t have to compete with any other college or NFL games. Easier to work around family gatherings, too.
  11. At this point they should just make Robinson with his stellar 1-1 record permanent head coach for a discounted deal. Try to hang on to as many of their good players as possible and pray that they can somehow catch lightning in a bottle like Ed O in 2019. If (when) it doesn’t work out, then they can just cut their losses fairly cheap as he’d likely be a more cost efficient hire than even Fisch or Traylor.
  12. I think our game against Michigan will be a Big Noon game, so we'll have to deal with him next year. They do SEC OOC games if they're at a Fox partner's home stadium (like when Bama came to Austin last year).
  13. As far as national talking heads go, Joel Klatt was much more accurate in his assessment of A&M than Pate. He said they’re the 4th best job in the region and at best the 7th best job in the SEC. Pate’s just making a business decision because he knows that the cult will eat up his BS and give him more clicks/views.
  14. To that point, that’s why I couldn’t see them going after Klieman. They wouldn’t want to hire someone who’s 0-5 against Texas.
  15. Guys, we’re fucked. They may have Saudi money to bankroll their coaching searching and football program (courtesy of Longhornfrenzy on Twitter/X):
  16. He’s shown a lot of improvement and maturation this year. I’d love to see what he could do with another year in Sark’s system. Could easily put himself in a position to be the top QB in the ‘25 draft.
  17. Bring in Gary Kubiak to “steady the ship” so to speak, then groom Klint as HCIW. That would track with what CTJ said earlier in the week about the talk of wanting to bring in a true aggie. Probably would be one of the cheaper options
  18. Very on-brand that Jimbo's first thought when talking about playcalling when you're backed up against your own end zone is how to set up a good punt.
  19. Should’ve gone for it on 4th & 4 before calling the time out. Their D wasn’t ready.
  20. It definitely made Bean think twice before scrambling. There was the one third down where it looked like Bean had enough open field in front of him to run for the first down but then cut it to the side away from everyone as if to try and get out of bounds and ended up short. I think he was trying to avoid taking another shot there.
  21. I believe they post the recorded episodes to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and their own app. So I’m sure some people go that route instead of YouTube, but I highly doubt that’s a large enough number to sustain them. Pretty much all of them except BK have full-time jobs outside of this though. I don’t know how he’s making ends meet and paying Austin rent with this being his full-time gig.
