  1. Anything that pays. Slave. If you crawl to me, you may kiss one of my toes.
  2. The lash flicks over Roma's buttocks with a biting sting. Overlord: You call me Mistress, slave. (I may have found a new outlet for my writing skills!)
  3. It took decades for me to contain them to only half a day.
  4. He even talks down to his audience as though he's a guru. Only there.
  5. I paused for more than a moment after writing that. Would this be a bad thing? I think likely not so long as I don't have to give birth. I could watch football games with Troph and Safe Sex. But, I was writing in a MAGA idiot voice. They'd see it as evil. And they're stupid, so there you go.
  6. Regarding Luicci "facilatating" a meeting between the two: That would such an insult to Elko and an absurdity to Campbell that it's hard to figure out what William sees in his mind happening at this meeting. I compared it to the notion of getting a bunch of Aggie football dads and stellar Aggie players from the past to hold a BBQ and buck up Calzeda when he was getting devoured behind that pitiful OL. Maybe it's their culture of believing all Aggies stick together and respect the voice of their elder Aggies. These meetings are pathetic ideas that would result in shuddering cringes from the participants being invited.
  7. They're scary people. I'm scared they'll come into my bathroom and drag me off to a factory where they'll put me on the conveyor belt with millions of other people and run me through the emasculation machine before I can tell them that I already self-emasculated by voting for Trump out of fear of just such a thing happening. Then comes the grooming. I'll become a Lesbian sex slave before the sun sets. Save me, King Donald! The seductive fairy tale that deep down most people are good has been thoroughly debunked, at least as it applies to Americans. I held onto to it for decades after childhood. Naive. There is no deep down. Perhaps that is what makes the story of Scrooge so compelling. He wasn't born so hard; he became hard. He chose it. It takes a remarkable night of supernatural events to persuade him to change his ways. The spirits don't dig deep into that black soul for the kernel of light. They frighten him into changing. Sorry to go on so long about that, but it's difficult not write a revelation occuring in real time. My anger and disappointment with the electorate who chose Trump and those who acquiesced by not voting at all has become sort of an embarrassment about my assumption about the good in people. Some have it. Some don't. No need to go digging for the fabled deep down. The actions right before you define who people are. It's really simple. I've had no trouble applying that to individuals. If you're in my house harming someone dear to me, I don't care if your Daddy fucked you or you had some sort of brain trauma. One of us isn't going to make it out of this moment. Applying that aggregately to a people or an electorate is new to me. Through persuasion, argument, facts, or appeal to decency, I think many of us thought that we'd ultimately win. Nope. The vilest and basest people have won in vast majority (I include the silent acquiescent). The vileness of so many people quoted here has focused this realization for me. Judge by deeds. Period.
  8. Grudges are to be nourished and maintained in these lands. Fuck you, Brockermires!
  9. Just on the psychological side, you have to think that losing road games and collapsing in November are going to become hurdles. You get into that "here we go again" mindset that's hard to break out of.
  10. They just wanted to go where the money doesn't matter as much as being an Aggie and being optimistic. Nice.
  11. RomaVicta does, too.
  12. William's a weird guy. Is he saying he will adopt asses and raise them to be big jerks? He should really consult Olin, TexAgs Poet Laureate, about communicating in English. One of the greatest sentences ever written/uttered: Fascinating. I think now we all have a clear understanding of where William draws his line. He surely knows about rights! Nice things. You feel really good. Nice. There's that top 10 class which is about 7th in the SEC. Nice. Great job with player retention. Nice. The MAC and Missouri Valley conferences aren't getting their guys back! Feelin' good. Optimism. Have another gummy. 1 William is off script. It's Sark's first year that they compare themselves to. Standby for confused parrots. 2 What doesn't? 3 Both what things? Starting 3-13 and something not happening overnight? Those are the same things. 4 In its totality? What? Both things? 5 There is a reality of how you finished, and it should be. WTF? 6 Is there somebody else in the room that nobody but William sees? 7 Inside, William has contradictions. An enema wrapped in an igmo struggling to connect thoughts and words. Yes! You don't want to apply real pressure until just the right moment. That right moment is when the score is 17-14 in a game you lost 17-7 where your coach says you were physically annihilated. If only that perfect moment to apply pressure had happened. Sadly, the real pressure stayed in the holster. Interesting premise, William. I'm sure you're right. It's certainly that and not: I'm beginning to think Olin or William's mom or maybe even Dreamy Brauny should review the meaning of "both" to William. William owns the double negative, though.
  13. Different strokes for different folks. As long as no one is getting hurt, live it up.
  14. Elko doesn't look like he's calling anything. He just walks around on the sideline looking either exasperated or dumbfounded. At least he's always dressed like a millionaire. The white mumu with ol' Sarge never fails to impress.
  15. Thank you, @Longhornfrenzy, as always. Now William Liucci speaks of the situation. He refers to Coach Culture as a dude. William Starfucker wants to get chummy with Elko or at least appear to be chummy with Head Coach Belch. In case he is reading the column, William butters up his soon-to-be close personal friend (who likes butter a lot!) with a ringing endorsement at this very dark hour. Now, William on winning: No shit, Bill. Who are you quoting and what does in the moment momentum mean? How does it differ from regular momentum? So it is with all forms of momentum. One imagines the country with mouths agape and eyes filled with excited admiration of the giant awakening. Everyone would be talking about A&M. "How did a dog ass team like that get to the SEC championship game? They need to take a look at their selection process." Tangible momentum? William doesn't understand either word, apparently. It's right up there with NIL on the list of things Aggies don't understand. No shit, Bill. Gonna be a big jump for the team and players currently on the roster. But, you gotta hit the portal hard because of all the shitty players we have. Here's an interesting rumination on the separation of culture and good football: Um, what's the proof of a good culture? I'm no football genius, but playing disciplined football might be an indicator. Elko said the same thing in his post game remarks. The culture is in, so good football is next. Everybody over there said the new culture had taken hold in the summer (Looky! We have all the players at practice today!) The players said so, too. They still played pretty shitty football. I think the grasp of culture over there is similar to their grasp of NIL and momentum. Here's a terrific idea! I'm sure they're both grateful to you, William. You know, Coach Elko, maybe you could talk to my close personal friend Dave Campbell. Might do you good and drive away some of the sadness. I assume you mean Dan Campbell. Sure, (urp) I'll get right on that. Hi Coach Campbell, it's Loochi. (long, long silence) Billy Liucci. (long, long silence) You the asshole that my girl has been dating that's always asking for a sideline pass? Listen, Bub- No! Billy Li-uuu-cci. Owner and Editor and Proprietor of TexAgs. O God, what do you want? I was thinking you and Coach Elko could get together to talk about his rough season. That's a result of thinking? Yessir. I'll facilitate the meeting if you like. My mom's house would work perfectly. I'll put you on the line with my personal assistant. (dial tone) Hmmm. Must have messed up the transfer. This whole idea reminded me of how TexAgs produced a number of posts suggesting Calzeda be hosted at a BBQ by Aggie fathers and distinguished corps guys who would buck him up and give him tips on manly manfulness.
  16. To a non-gambler, ridiculing a person for not risking more money at a gaming table seems strange. If you're getting a kick out of being at the (evidently) despised $25 table, why risk more? I will say his appearance suggests either the $3 table or beneath a blue tarp would be appropriate environs.
  17. The parrots have created reality through repetition: Sark didn't recruit them. Sark didn't coach them to any effect. Sark has little to do with the success of the program since his second year. They bought him a roster. You know why the idiots who agree with this idiot hold to this? They proclaimed Sark a drunk incompetent who never won anywhere and wouldn't win at Texas. To hold onto that absurdly wrong claim, the parrots in this flock must say coaching doesn't matter in order to hold their ground on Sark. It's the Aggiest thing in the world. Be wrong or do wrong, and the world must be changed to make you right. Every riot they started in the last century was started by the other side doing something horrible, usually to an aged grandmother or war veteran. They're the greatest school and student body in the world and only conspiracies keep the world from seeing the truth or allowing the Aggies to prove their manly manful ascendancy over all. They hit the portal hard. We buy players. A distinction without a difference. ETA: I wrote this before seeing @HtownHorn's post. Alas, I become a parrot.
  18. Good post. They also seem to think only one thing explains Texas' rise under Sark. They don't recognize complexity very well. They have their own 2022 class as a painful lesson that this kind of thinking is just wrong. Sark pays attention to who will fit and who will not fit into our locker room. You still need cohesion within the team. Sark has an excellent coaching staff. Money doesn't just go to players; it must also go to staff. You need a coach with relationships and reputation who can attract staff. @closetojumping kept us posted on Texas' methodical and far-sighted approach to setting up sustainable NIL. I think Aggies really think trucks full of cash back up to players' homes and that's it. You need strategic planning. Self-criticism is key to any successful operation. Hanging on to old approaches and traditions and habits is fatal in a competetive field. That's a ball and chain the Aggies will likely never escape. They're sure A&M is damn near perfect and only needs a tweak or two. They love everything about the place. Longhorns are vicious critics of their school and teams. That's just part of it. I don't know how the whole operation works which is good. I have no expertise. Myriad details matter to success in CFB. The people on TexAgs who realize this will lead a frustrating existence every autumn banging their heads on the walls of intransigence. It's so entertaining. I'm obsessed with it, and I don't care. It's like anthropology.
  19. Too late. The Texas toxicity is here now. Poison from without forever. You forgot a couple: Odd claim that doing poorly in the first year necessarily leads to nattys! Absolute denial that what you just watched was fucking bad, man. Really, really bad. Ouch. That looks like a nickname that could stick. True. I do think USC had a moment of, "I can't believe we're going to lose to these loudmouth nobody clowns." A&M was already convinced they'd won yet again. Wouldn't a great culture have you bearing down instead spiking the ball before you cross the goal line? Isn't this overblown opinion of yourselves part of what Elko thinks he replaced? Fun times ahead. Good to see the SEC patch still proves you're big time. Nothing says "big time" more than having your conference mates nickname you Texas 8&4. Elko isn't the only entity in over their head. I'm reminded of William telling the parrots that big time coaches were contacting A&M last winter dying to be the one to wake the giant. Their selection committee ends up with Mark Stoops and Mike Elko as the top two. I guess Lane failed the phone interview along with all the other big-timers calling to get in on big time SEC football.
  20. Where's the Twinkies? I had 'em right here. I know you love a good Twinkie with your cerveza. Sir, your bet. Just hold your goddamn horses. Honey, is it under those little chocolate donuts? Sir! Your bet. (Turns to angrily toss chip. Knocks over Corona. Farts. Table clears.)
  21. The bowls I've watched have been really good. I usually turn them on for the fourth quarter. I wonder if taking the top dozen teams out of the mix makes for more even match ups and better games. It's funny that the even match up here was A&M with their builiding blocks for next season against an almost entirely depleted 6-6 USC. Aggies would have murdered a team of USC walk-ons and band members, but the second team? Too salty.
  22. The same. I sorta love repartee, but when the other person opens with idiocy, I give a mild smile and just let it sit out there. Very satisfying. I'm a small person to think so, but it's so very gratifying to win with silence. These are tips from the pros for all you kids out there.
  23. Elko belches at press conference at about the 2:10 mark. Burp. Also says his mind is blown that his secondary doesn't understand zone coverage. We've heard about the players showing up for practices, but was Elko there? Defense is terrible. He will never watch another defense that bad. They got the culture of hard work, accountability, caring about each other and the other stuff none of which were there when he took over. Next is building a football team. I think the Elk is in over his head. I think the defensive staff will be shaken up, but weren't these the best guys Elko could draw when he came aboard?
