  1. I think I walked in on somebody else's fight. The Ohio State reference was a joke. I do say A&M played like a top ten team. We may have done so for a quarter yesterday. Right now, they're a better team than we are. Their portal additions turned out to be brilliant. Reed has come around.
  2. Well, since we're talking A&M, can we count only losing to Ohio State by 7 as better than any of their wins? Can we use their standard? Plus, I don't see how our schedule impacts the magical alignment stars that reduced their schedule to shit. They did beat LSU like a top ten team should.
  3. Man, you guys are sure about your judgments formed in dire moments. Every coaching hire is a crapshoot. Didn't we supposedly have Saban lined up to take over for Mack? Oops. Sark seems to have built a strong culture. We were over-rated to start the year based on the notion that Arch would be a Heisman winner and some how we could immediately reload an entire OL. No and no. Sark didn't vote us number one. There's a real problem with the offense. Sark has blame to take. I have doubts about firing him this quickly. If Sark does jump, we need to keep PK as y'all say. I have no idea what Kiffin's locker rooms are like. Would we want Saban out of retirement? I'm nervous about returning to the wastelands. eta: I've read more of the thread. Having CDC is a plus, but didn't he hire the suddenly despised Sarkisian?
  4. For TexAgs Aggies, our schedule last year was laughable to the nervous Aggies. Their weaker schedule this year will fall under the category of the enormously difficult grind of playing SEC teams week in and week out no matter who it is you play. It would be amusing to see the Aggies actually make the SEC championship game with one or two losses (as long as one of them is to us), get crushed there, get an okay seed in the playoff only to get crushed there again and finish near the bottom of the top-25. I don't see us making the playoff this year, but it would be funny to eliminate from that, too. It would turn one of their best years in living memory to utter humiliation.
  5. It's a laughing at un-self aware humorless Aggies thread, not a bragging to confuse the humorless thread. How did that work out for Him?
  6. The only restraints on Trump are illusory ones he hasn't pushed against yet. I fucking would. I'd gather everyone of Trump's toadies into his gauche ball room to reward them for their service.
  7. Surgical military strikes. Regime change. Enormously costly unwinnable engagement. No people throwing flowers and chocolates to their American liberators.
  8. That was the first serial killer/torturer I became aware of. We'd just moved back to Houston. I was still in school. It's the only reason I know that there's a place called High Island. If someone can do a show on Dahmer, they can do one on Corrl. Like Gein, I bet hardly anyone not from Southeast Texas has ever heard of him. If someone does want to take on his story, perhaps it lacks any sense of humanity that grounds some of these stories. The neighbor in the Dahmer story helped with that. I've never read anything about the Corrl stories. I only know what's been related to me about the horror.
  9. It's not a very well put together documentary, but the story itself is so heartbreaking that it doesn't matter. I'm sure we all guessed who the victim was early on. Such an exemplary human being.
  10. The billionaires will be fine.
  11. It was a fourth down play as well. If it's called, they're moved out to about the 20 to try another 4th and goal. They whine unceasingly about the referees of the world taking orders from the SEC or money from us to keep the dear old Aggies down.
  12. Many Texans who never went to college are Longhorn fans. I love that Hispanic Texans number high enough for a Spanish broadcast of our games. I know that the fanhood extends beyond state and national borders, but I recall Darrell Royal saying that we are the state team and many people here see us that way. Lastly, all Texans likely have money finding its way to UT. We're theirs. I love it.
  13. You think the University of Texas will shrug off $50k? Did you go there? Hell, I went when it was cheap and they tried to squeeze every dollar out of us that they could. There was a building use fee for self-paced courses that never met in a classroom. For one semester back when pre-registration was still kind of new and nobody had computers, they made pre-registration regular registration and turned what had been regular registration the days before a session into late registration. They charged a penalty. All students who didn't yet have the money to pay for pre-registration paid a little extra. Oh, here's the capper. When I started, Texas was redoing the Union, so it was closed for two years. In those two years, they still charged us a Union Fee and had the gall to charge an extra "Special Union Fee" to pay for the renovations. UT will never get a dime from me. I have contributed to the student food bank because I remember some hungry weeks. Not that it bothers me or anything.
  14. You're arguing with their perception not mine, but you are correct.
  15. I happen to be an aficionado.
  16. Sometimes he gets hit because he doesn't throw the fucking ball.
  17. We almost fucked it all up for you!
  18. For years, the guys on TexAgs said that the SEC had no need for Texas because they had already delivered them the state of Texas' eyeballs. When the SEC invited us to join, the same Aggies were saying we shouldn't get the same share as everyone else because we brought no real money value. Their despair over being bumped by a shitty, barely-ranked Texas team shows that they still haven't learned. Hell, they think their wins over Florida and MSU rocked the nation. It's why it can be fun to read that site in short bursts.
  19. Wow. And lest we forget A&M's signature win: Looks like number 60 may be cheating, too. I hadn't noticed that because I was too busy admiring Bisontis' tackling form.

    Fair position. It's a complicated equation this year.
  21. Always an indicator that someone feels confident in their own position.
  22. This is the playcalling that I feel that I can comment on. These plays need to be set up by building anticipation in the defenders that the play will go the other way. I don't see us doing anything like that. The absurd trick play on third and three last Saturday is a perfect example. We weren't desperately in need of a big play. We could likely get the first with a run. We run that pitch pitch pitch pass when the defense remains steady in their assigned roles. The game has not gone on long enough for them to think, oh boy, here's comes another tough run by Wisner, I need to stop that shit. That play is for later in the game when you need it to catch up or put somebody away. We were not desperate. Merely stupid. Take small victories.
