  1. First of all, "the Horns and the sports world" have been left laughing at A&M many more times than "twice" during the Trev Alberts era. Many. They have had a remarkable collapse since Alberts arrived, across football, baseball, and basketball. It has been glorious and we've all enjoyed it immensely over here in our little palace of degenerates. Secondly, A&M paid $4.12 million less than a year ago to buy out Alberts' contract from Nebraska. I'm not sure if this has been fully paid off, or not. As for showing Trev the door, Alberts's contract is fully guaranteed if he is fired without cause, and he is to be paid $2.2 million annually through March 2029. So firing him would cost A&M approximately $9 million at this point. However, if they do fire Trev, A&M would be the unquestioned champions of paying buyouts. So put it on the wall, I guess.
  2. Jason apparently has never heard of one Michael Earley.
  3. Lost by 5 runs, but they ran out of time.
  4. As more Texas players are drafted this year, it will be fun to watch the Texas-hater narrative switch from: Texas coaches can't develop talent to Texas coaches are wasting all of their abundant talent.
  5. I'll not have any of this bullshit on TexAgs, please.
  6. Don't worry about the numbers.
  7. I realize the cycling season "began" three weeks ago with Omloop, but the first monument was today. And it was epic. Watch their faces, they were putting it all on the line. I'm not going to spoil it, but the last thirty minutes of Milan-San Remo were riveting, with a deserving winner.
  8. Wait, you're saying there's a big hullabaloo about Kanak. Kanak!
  9. With all due respect, that cap is hideous.
  10. I'm not sure whether I prefer chest-puffed out aggy or deflated aggy. But this year, with baseball season, we've had both in less than a month! What a ride for them.
  11. The plan is quite clear to those paying attention to happenings in Houston, and the buffet table on the Brazos. The Texans are clearing roster space and acquiring draft capital for a singular and brilliant purpose: Acquiring Chase Bisontis in the 2026 NFL draft.
  12. Hurry up, taxpayers better spend $1.5 billion on a new stadium then!
  13. It's because A&M is a national school, stupid sip.
  14. Here's the full story from the Chronicle. Nothing will set my (slightly rekindled) interest in the Texans on fire like McNair coming hat in hand to taxpayers for a new stadium. Fuck off with that.
  15. I deserve all the downvotes.
  16. This is such a perfect reply to an unhinged, insulting comment. Bravo.
  17. I'm so freaking excited -- my daughter got accepted this evening. Her academics aren't the best, but she's an insanely talented singer. She'll be attending the Butler School of Music.
  18. As if we needed more reasons to hate Jerry Jones.
  19. He's got a tremendous motor. Amazing energy when they let him off the leash. He's always chasing after the ball with reckless abandon. He plays well in traffic. In fact, he may have a little too much energy because he wears down in the second half. If you look closely at the Hudl film, you can see the coaches urging him to take a drink of water and telling him, "Sit Utu, sit."
  20. It's perfectly legitimate for a reporter, at a press event, to ask a pertinent question about a player's health. It's totally fine if Bond and the rest of the players were coached to offer a non-committal reply, but the reporter was just doing their job while covering a promotional news event. Also Barron was badass this year and will definitely be missed. Kudos to the NIL team for retaining him, and the coaches for coaching him up.
