  1. I'll give Olin his due. This is a very sober article on their spring game. The tone is surprisingly reserved. No sunshine pumping.
  2. Breaking news! Sorry to interrupt this program, but this is very important! This guy has evidently been a Maroon fan for as long as that team has existed: My friend, you are a part of something bigger than yourself at Texas A&M University. Traditions. Pulling for the team no matter what. Bragging about how loud your fans can be. Hating your coloreds and swishes. And the ring! My God! The Aggies ring! Get your mind right, 2%er. I bet you haven't completely internalized all the lies we tell about t.u. Do you even call them t.u.? Do you even keep track of what we declare to be the modern age of college football? Go to that shithole school in that cesspool of a city. That's where you belong. You better hope Billy doesn't chase you down! When's the last time you bragged about our sacred facilities? It had to be a fiendish plan. Everybody knows facilitiesfacilitiesfacilities are the most important part of college sports. Second to that is renovating them constantly!
  3. Granted that they're playing really well, Aggies getting very Aggie. We're bad fans. Our coaches don't have honor. Schloss is nothing without his assistants. Sadly, nobody remembered the dildo stuff. * Lousy swinging bastard Schloss never fought his way back to 8-10 after starting 0-9 in the SEC, either! Put that in your dildo and smoke it! I'm sure no one will notice that t.u. run-ruled the number 8 team in the nation the same day. It was 7-0 after two innings. It's all about who's the bestest fans in all sports! I wish we were manly enough to fear homosexuals like manly manful Aggies are. Next up, Aggies on integrity, and a learned opinion about the geography of t.u. Hyde Park, West Campus, the Capitol grounds, and the million dollar homes east of I-35 are all death traps. I'll go ahead and swing at the hanging curve and point out that A&M's campus actually has been turned into a cesspool from time to time with raw sewage seeping from the ground. Anyways, they're very sure and excited about destroying us and taking their tornado to Omaha.
  4. Olin shares the crisp articulation of Ivy League Elko. Elko dapper as ever. I think the dark baby boy look really sets off his figure. Olin gets us rolling with a paraphrase of Elko. Mike is "peeved." He's demanding perfection. He is the model of perfection himself! How peeved is he? He's pissed. He's a bad man. He's incoherent! He's just trying to drive it. He really is. Really. Driving it. Yea, boy. Cookin' with gas! And the guys are still lifting weights, going to practice on time, putting the used towels in the right bin, throwing the pig back and forth. Like a lethal Dorito: crisp and sharp. Mmmmm, Doritos. Now lay some Ivy League education on us. He wasn't just a football player, ya know. Concerning the portal, Elko channels Yogi Berra. On adding: Now who can disagree with that?
  5. Two episodes in. Boring. What a waste of Goggins and Coon. The humor seems to be mostly laugh at the dumb Southerners even though their cliches. It also feels as much Thailand travelogue as a TV show.
  6. Two things. College educated Aggie. No1 compares 2U, most cool guy, with your Purple Rain style.
  7. Cruelty is used to address a person's insecurity about his own manly manfulness. Doubling down on an injustice for the same reason. I lament the lost value of reason in this new world. Those opposed to the tyranny keep applying it as though it will return some sort of favorable result. It's like clapping to keep Tinkerbell alive. Clap harder and harder, that's the only solution!
  8. I didn't get through French Dispatch or Asteroid City, and I've loved most of Anderson's work. I think he's losing his balance between formalism and actual emotional content as far as engaging his audience. Viewing the movies as experimental film, one could definitely argue there's an importance to Anderson's work. Moonrise Kingdom and the Grand Budapest Hotel are both excellent. They both have real relationships amid the self-conscious style. His work since then has disappointed me. I've also not been a fan of his animated work, but that could just be a RomaVicta thing as animation in general must be very good to interest me. Maybe like black and white movies for anyone under 40. I'll surely give this movie a try. It appears that the relationship between del Toro and the nun could match those between the bell hop and Ralph Fiennes or any number of relationships in Moonrise Kingdom. For reference, Rushmore is one of my favorite movies. Bottle Rocket is a gem that I didn't like much the first viewing but, remarkably, enjoyed it more and more with each subsequent viewing. The Life Aquatic actually brought tears to my eyes as he completely nailed the mind of a boy back when Jacques Cousteau was known to everyone. The last shot in the submarine just got to me. Just some observations.
  9. Thanks, I've been referring to that pattern from old memory. Nice to see it laid out. Our mistake was seeing it as evolutionary and arriving at last to the stable form of democracy.
  10. Well done, @Thatguy. He didn't and still doesn't give a fuck about what America generally is or was trying to be. Like all the rest of the Leopard Chow, he only squeaks because he never thought he personally would suffer. Even now, he only cares that he is impacted. All these leopard stories are amusing but also disgusting. They don't care. Mister Love up above saying we shouldn't hate based on who we voted for articulates the NFL nature of politics to that selfish idiot. It's not who you vote for generally, you goddamn idiot, it's what you voted for. Repeat after me: raping, lying, corrupt autocrat who you thought was going to save you from the queens and the coons and the reds and the jews. Furthermore, they will not give up their hate of fellow citizens about whom they're convinced are enemies of good. They'll claim the same thing about Trump that my old granny said about Nixon: I believe he was misled by his underlings who bear the actual responsibility. They will never care what the Dems say. Never. It would be too much of an admission to their gullible servitude to lies told on the radio.
  11. Stochastic has become quite a handy word since @Brisketexan introduced me to it several years back. I already knew what terrorism was.
  12. Who would have thought that a rape-happy, lying felon would set up a system where he's accountable for nothing? I've now decided that should the autocrat be overthrown and made captive, he should go to the El Salvador hell hole himself. I'm sure the flying pigs will favor this as well.
  13. Iraq has something to do with 9/11 and now has WMDs. Gulf of Tonkin. The Lusitania. Endangered students on Grenada. We're very good at this shit. Or very gullible.
  14. Remember the Maine!
  15. Change the channel, Honey. Let's watch Vanderpump Rules instead of that boring shit.
  16. All of our sunk aircraft carriers would make great reefs if the water isn't too deep. They're great for intimidating or bullying smaller nations. They're extremely vulnerable to a real deep water navy focused on submarines and supersonic missiles/torpedoes. Iran is indeed the better bet for the kind of lengthy war that we can't lose on the battlefield that Trump needs to become president for life (short may it be). Venezuela would offer better lines of supply and would likely lead to all kinds of brushfires in our hemisphere to keep the military busy and victorious. A long war is good for our defense industry, too. Then we could justify the need to invade the weak for their precious resources. Imperial America whose citizens are sure we're fighting for justice, freedom, and the American way. They'll have one right, anyway.
  17. You originally responded to a post of mine where I spoke generally and not specifically about this guy. You'd said merely that he's a coaches son. I responded as much in humor about the cliche you object to as I did to making a real point. The mystery is why you took it so personally. I intended no slight. I do not intend one now. Your combativeness is usually top flight insult humor. Maybe keep your finger a little further from the hair trigger. I look forward to your blistering retort if it's up to your usual standards.
  18. From Cheech and Chong interviewing the coach leading up to the song Baskeball Jones: Coach, you're having a great year. Let's talk about your record. My record? What you want to talk about my record for? I did my time. How was I supposed to know she was 13. She looked 15.
  19. I think the answer precedes the question. High school coaches are hardly mavens of discretion and etiquette.
  20. It was the power of advertising on an elite platform that swayed Olin to check out the deal in person. Aggie network, being a part of something greater than yourself (low bar for that), T-shirt fan lucky to get the time of day from the poet laureate of Texags.
  21. And Olin decides to mine it for cheap sentiment and an avenue to show he's more than a sportswriter.
