Tell Me About Texas a&m
The TexAgs Thread I think this is kind of interesting. Two viewpoints are laid out. I'm not being ironic or absurd for once. What do we think about the Aggies advancing their program? Seriously. I tend to agree with Sunray Ag. But maybe I'm underrating their record and playoff appearance. I think beating ND and LSU merely showed that they can win an away game. I'll ignore the controversial hold against ND. I don't think that moves the needle at all to anyone who isn't an Aggie. LSU sucked, but it was a big victory margin. The playoff is expanded, but they would have made them anyway. I don't think there is any anticipation of them being a constant presence in the playoffs from here on out. On the other hand, I'm not exactly neutral or any kind of a football genius. I don't think the A&M program can be considered advanced until they actually consistently achieve something that turns heads. Had they crushed us or Miami, I think they could say they're program has advanced as that would be a real improvement over last year instead of just sort of an improvement. Any opinions? Let's try to take a sober look at the Texas A&M University Fightin' Texas Aggies. This will probably die quickly as do any thread I ever start. Humiliating, to tell you the truth. I respectfully invite @aggie08 @956 Worldwide & any other regular Aggie posters here to share their opinions. They're smart guys.

Whoa there, hoss. You mean hearsay about other quiet agreements led you to assume you had a similar agreement even though it was never discussed? You think a gentleman's agreement is wholly unspoken and transferrable? You got over your skis using that term. A gentleman's agreement is generally done with a handshake after discussing terms. It's not an assumption that you have an agreement because other people do. Bowtie was more than a little dishonest. Nope, you made foolish assumptions and/or stated them to Aggies to pump yourselves up. You're not the arbiters of SEC culture. You're wannabes who assumed a seat near the head of the table and got tossed out of it. And they'll laugh him out of their offices after asking WTF is wrong with you? We don't lie to ourselves about agreements nobody ever made. None of this stuff is in writing because nobody wanted to permanently commit to it. Now go get you shine box!

No worries. It will eventually be retrieved as a cock ring.

Avatar: Fire and Ash
I'm truly glad a movie, any movie, does that for someone. Because this particular movie series doesn't do that for me does not mean I don't have the same experience with other movies both great and fair or even bad to others. I miss the days in the first 30 or so years of my life when just about any movie was good enough. A bad comedy was and is insufferable. Things changed particularly when I began to study film. I don't like being the dickhead audience member with his arms crossed daring the filmmaker to entertain me (that's hyperbole, BTW), but once a person develops critical abilities about anything, it's hard to turn them off. I've learned that I don't want to be a connoisseur. I prefer being the guy that generally feels, "Hey, this is pretty damn good!" If the chili is good, I don't give a fuck if it has beans.

Good post. It brings to mind how they thought they were somehow instantly elevated in quality by merely adding the SEC patch to their uniforms. SEC teams are better; we are SEC, therefore we are better than we were ten minutes ago. Their habit of stolen valor is omnipresent. The second thing is the myth of the SEC grind. It can be a tough conference, no doubt. The myth is that it takes years to adapt to it and entering it will be a shocking revelation. I think the TexAggies expected us to only have half a team to field at the end of our first season. The sips would be nice and softened up like the bull in the arena awaiting the final challenge of the matador. The Aggies, playing to be in the SEC championship game, would drive in the sword and bring Varsity to its knees. That went differently than they hoped. But, there is next year. Then, your apt comparison to 9/11. Of course, their revenge was the usual Aggie flop. Soon to be financially-secure-for-years Mike Elko made finishing the theme of this season's effort. SEC championship on the line. Undefeated Aggies come to Memorial, blah blah blah. They definitely generated a Fightin' Texas Aggie finish to their season. If we win our bowl, it will be a long dark winter rebuilding the rollercoaster under the direction of William Liucci and all those whose asses are red. Reed's improving in the Spring. The new OL is better than the 2025 one. Look out for Terry Bussey (if he decides to stay)! Will we finally have the Wrecking Crew back? Off season entertainment for everyone.

They were better than us all the years they didn't play us. So, by that standard, they've really closed the gap from the Big 12 days. People just don't understand!

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Shit In One Hand, Hope In the Other, Tell Us Which One Fills Up Faster
He was their big recruit. Until Concepcion showed up, he was their big hope. Undoubted game-changer. It would be a big deal if he goes to some other program and tears it up. Either the Aggies never found a way to use him or he's not as good as he was rated. It was small town high school competition, but he has flashed at A&M; he just hasn't made much of a mark. The Aggies constant expectation that he, almost alone, could lead them to greatness is why I recall him more than other players. Sometimes, I think being rated an athlete maybe confuses coaches when they get on campus. They dither too much about where to play him. I'm interested in how this turns out. @immamac BTW, love the upgrade. Looks and works great! Now my images won't be so huge. Well done!

Trump’s America
That letter is so disgusting that I could not finish it. It wasn't that long ago that the first few paragraphs would have been enough to destroy a politician in the public's mind. The active support for this man and the acquiescent non-opposition is sickening. The acquiescent likely remains unaware of this. Uninterested. Un-citizens of the republic. The active support shows how our attitude towards bullies has changed. A great number of us cheer them. I stopped reading the irony of the writer's claim that Trump had saved the building from almost certain destruction. We had to defile the building to save it.

After one of the few times they beat us in the Big 12, my beloved and I went to a wine and food event at Becker Vineyards. You had to go down a line of tables for various tastes of food. It wasn't hard to tell who the Aggies were. Such a drab color for clothing. Anyway, an decked-out Aggie is one of the volunteers serving. I'm not a hateful fan. "Congratulations on your win yesterday. I'm a Longhorn." "It's nice to finally meet a good loser." It was this game. The stretch extends from the first year of the Big 12. Need anymore be said? I had rejoinders ready to launch in the missile silos of my mind. I remembered the saying about arguing with jackasses, particularly irony-deaf jackasses. I just smirked and moved on. After 6 mudholings in a row, let the little man enjoy his moment out of the dungeon of disgrace.

Trump’s America
The video is very persuasive. Compare the crowd reaction at the Kennedy assassination or even the Kirk assassination, those crowds hit the ground and/or fled. Why was this crowd different? Is it the big lie? It's almost inconceivable that so many hundreds of people could have been included in a fradulent demonstration of such importance. But maybe that's the genius. The actions staging the photo were well shown. I hadn't gathered that from earlier videos presented with no examination. The flag being lowered into the frame of the shot really stands out to me. There's this as well: The two dead persons. The assassin was perhaps paid to act the role unaware he would be killed as part of the script? I just looked up the firefighter and all the coverage is the usual eulogy stuff that the news template calls for. If a shot was heard and he took a bullet in the stands behind Trump, again, where is the crowd reaction? Did they find a way to shoot him that the crowd would not notice? Wouldn't some molecule of morality keep the conspirators from murdering people to promote a lie? January 6. Gallows. Dead cops. Trump shows no discomfort with that. I don't go for conspiracy theories, but ignoring those theories altogether makes the world safe for such conspiracies. I hadn't looked much at this until the last hour. It stinks. Lastly, Trump is a coward. He ran to the war bunker when BLM was peacefully demonstrating outside the gates of the White House. The secret service would have to use that crane to pry Trump from his crouch on the stage if he thought he was in danger. His little hands would be gripping the floor boards like grim death itself. I think I may be convinced. I'm sure we can rely on the big news media to set aside their template to really dig into this. Sure.

Trump’s America
He has a vocabulary of about 90 words. That's including conjunctions and articles. He only uses first person pronouns. Like no one's ever seen before. Worst ever. Greatest ever. I never heard of him. Some people are saying maybe the greatest ever. Dog. Tears in his eyes. Big manly arms. Hoax. Fake news. Ratings. Those are the meat and potatoes of his remarkably limited intellect. He basically knows how to steal and lie and fail. Oh, and cause needless suffering with total lack of empathy.

Texas A&M Recruiting 2027: Elko's Cholesterol - Not Great, Not Terrible
William! Stepping out into the open in writing! Long time, no see. Your English, with one odd exception, is pretty good here. You're welcome for the helpful hints. 1 Presumably this high-profile player is Reed. I guess if you're referring to College Station alone, William is correct on this one. It's been a long fall from the Heisman campaign at mid-season. His profile nationally is sort of like his profile when he's scurrying around his terrible big linemen: puny. 2 Who is William quoting? 3. Ya gotta know the man and his meticulousness. It's infused in every aspect of his life from the way he dresses to the level of fitness he maintains. Mike Elko is something else. He thinks a lot about things. Things like replacing his coordinators. Things like generating an offense against good teams. I think he really spent his meticulous time working out that boffo extension before the gas ran out on the dream mobile. Keep fluffing, William. Keep fluffing.
