  1. Missed his nostril and damn near put his eye out.
  2. If Weigman survives the season, they're a pretty good team it looks like. I don't know how many competent passing teams they play, but I think we'll feast on their secondary. Missouri had guys open most of the game or at least the first half.
  3. Yep. Now the deaths will start piling up. The grind. They seem pretty sure we're going to lose to Vanderbilt. And it seems all of this speculation comes from them watching their own game and deciding we're doomed. Doomed, I tell you! I suspect we'll be doing the grinding. And it will be fun.
  4. It appears their victory over top ten Missouri has made us weak somehow. We didn't even play, and they're giddy about what big trouble we're in. This Aggie turns his mind to reasoning: Texas loses to OU due to our imagined cockiness (irony is always lost on Aggies) and, GADZOOKS! a mid afternoon start time for the game. We will be thrown into disarray by this but OU will not. Parrots are out tonight: Over and over and over. Always presented as fresh insight. We've got that grindy, difficult SEC schedule to worry about now. Oh, but two posts above: @SubliminalHorn
  5. Sorry, that's a one way street. They feel they proved themselves by finding a way to win against Bowling Green whom they opined would be a mid-level SEC team.
  6. Same with Mizzou. They've been huffing their own delusions. Their games against poor competition definitely indicated they might get exposed. I didn't expect them to get skinned alive. A&M is doing what a good team does to a poor team. It's a weird year in CFB. I think there are a handful of elite teams, and I think we are one of them, but it's still hard to tell for sure. The Aggies look like they belong in the pack. It will be amusing to see the whiplash on TexAgs on Wiggy Baby. Lastly, if they do well, it will improve the quality of our win over them. It might be a tougher game than we were anticipating. I'm sure they've already marked it up as a historic beatdown of effeminate tu.
  7. Olin hasn't been providing much to ridicule lately, and, after reading Dreamy Brauny's incoherent recruiting report earlier this week, Olin's stuff looks Pulitzer-esque. Elko steps in to help, though. The lead: Profound stuff. Managed four different verbs in that opening opening and maintained consistent tense. Much thought indeed. 1 No shit. The Ministry of Truth knows it's job. Congrats to Comrade William! A pterodactyl attack could carry off the remains of the 2022 class and nobody would know what happened to them. 2 The obvious? Olin will eat this up. He loves obvious. Speak o smocked sage of the sideline: Makes plays with his feet as well as passing! Sounds like a pretty formidable dual-threat quarterback! Olin scribbles in his reporter pad. Duel Threat QB. Got it! Elko continues: Fuck! Duel Threat QB. Double fuck. Duel Threat QB Duel Threat QB, again.
  8. It's evidently a motiviational tool used by the Mizzou staff is what I read on TexAgs.
  9. The treason we saw with our own eyes leads to charges of interfering with a government process. The obvious and video-taped incitement of an attack on the Capitol which lead to death threats, actual deathss, a mob assault on law enforcement officers charged with protecting the building, and the indecorous flight of Congress from chamber for fear of physical from a mob calling out the names of leaders to be executed comprises "interference." Every person in that mob was acting to overturn a legal and certified election; they were moving against the most profound tradition of a democracy. Interference. It's maddening.
  10. Bronze-painted! With genuine bronze colored paint! Buy it, you fucking idiots!
  11. Oddly enough enough, there were scholars on an NPR show this morning all concurring that Israel is brilliant at tactical victories, but they can't seem to parlay them into achieving any larger goals. Respectfully, I think your rationale reflects what is always getting us into trouble. We regularly believe that our force of arms will terrorize prospective opponents into cowed submission. It never happens that way. Other peoples are as brave as us. They object angrily when people they know are blown up by American bombs just like we do when somebody blows up Americans. Just like us, people will find a way to fight when roused. Specifically, I don't think any terrorist leaders have expected to retire in comfort one day. We and the Isrelis have been killing them off for decades. The movements using terrorism largely remain as they have for decades. I've felt for a long time that American foreign policy has been reduced to cheap theater for rubes back home. This theater is the same as our mythology about good guys killing bad guys and we celebrate the easy closure. In the real world, the curtain never comes down. Solutions aren't often easy. Being right doesn't guarantee you'll prevail. The mature world (I'm speaking generally not condescending to you) is that of Leonard Cohen. Everybody Knows.
  12. In the '70s, it was a big deal if your tuition bill topped $100. If you had a good summer job, you could pay for the year. If you worked oil rigs or something like that, you could live like a god. I returned to graduate in the mid 80s and it was still less than maybe $400? My beloved had daughters graduating high school in the first few years of this century. I was dumbfounded and furious when I heard about what had happened to college costs. Guaranteed loans for banks who face no risk. No reason other than decency and an understanding of public university education to keep the colleges from raising fees in tacit collusion. I'm glad to be a Longhorn, but I can't exactly say that I love the University. Money grubbing cunts.
  13. Fillmore? TexAgs was full of speculation about some alum who is successful in the NFL. Maybe they'd settle for Dabo. Deboer wasn't even the first choice of their delusions. William kept telling them that somebody big was in the works. Then: HOWDY!
  14. Absolutely agree. A smaller point that has bothered me when we pick a new country to invade but use the word "liberate" is how we don't call the enemy the enemy; we call them bad guys. I don't like how that re-enforces the notion that we're always good fighting evil. We keep telling ourselves that everywhere we go to kill people ourselves is a re-run of WWII. Our war discussion or discussions about issues like the expanding Israeli war on the civiliam populations around them is so seldom pragmatic. What is good for the US in all of this? But we love those balleyhooed tactical victories where we blow up a terrorist leader, and nothing changes.
  15. Sportscasters are idiots who latch on to new terms and beat them to death. "Third and manageable" is one example. The torturous evolution of mano a mano, which the morons think means man against man, to mano y mano which can mean just about anything to the announcers. At least, someone must have sent out a memo about a team being in "the shadow of their goal line." That's the definition of the low bar for articulatation in the booth. It's going to be mano y mano as the Boogers, standing in the shadow of their goal line try to keep the Gallstones out of the endzone. A tuddy would make it a two possession game.
  16. If the Aggies beat Mizzou, they'll likely earn the term "scrappy." Olin (Howdy!) expects the Aggies to "soar" in the rankings should they knock off #9. I think voters will see a Tiger loss as more of an exposure of an overrated team than some grand achievement. If our Michigan win at Michigan is of little value according to the Aggies, how can a home victory over Missouri be considered worth much of anything. I'm looking forward to watching the game. This season has a lot of mystery about who is actually good and who isn't. That mystery will still be there if the Aggies win unless they absolutely crush Missouri. I don't know how it will come out. I suspect Missouri's more than competent pass game with a solild QB will be a problem even if the Aggie DL is becoming dominant. The quick passing game maybe attacking York in the middle of the field could spring some big plays. If the short game works, A&M will be off-balance against draws and other plays that count on an over-aggressive DL. Or Missouri could turn the ball over four times as the fold under the pressure of daunting Kyle Field. Should be a fun watch.
  17. They believe that they selflessly put the country first by voting Trump who will restore the republic to the greatness of unchallengable white man rule. He'll save us from the immigrants: these dangerous motherfuckers. The boy is smiling because he can't hardly wait to sell the ten pounds of fentanyl they have hiding in their asses so they can buy a nice four bedroom house in the 'burbs after they kill the current residents and eat their pets.
  18. And it won't make a bit of difference. We celebrate these justified killings as though they are great victories. The terrorist armies are still there. But, hey, we impotently blew up a dickhead!
  19. It's a fucking racket between the banks who own Congress and the colleges and universities. We can make tuition anything we want it to be and you, my friend, can borrow to come here. It's criminal. I graduated Texas with no debt because it wasn't expensive to attend here once you got in.
  20. I keep seeing stuff like this, and I have no idea how to interpret it.
  21. By "wife," I assume you mean his "human wife" into whom he "inserts his seed." Vance is coming across kinda weird.
  22. Look over your shoulder, man! They're sneaky. Then run for your life before the grooming begins!
