  1. Thank you for reminding me of that. In the flood of shit, I forgot about this particular turd.
  2. I just read some of the stuff that's available about him. The Aggies may have a problem on their hands. An Aggie piece about him says that he followed a "friend" to A&M. His bio shows no wife and kids. Prepare for: "We love homosexuals here at A&M!" After lamenting that we have one guy who buys all of our players which makes tu ebil, now they have a guy like that. So, naturally, they'll brag that he's the richest sugar daddy in the whole world.
  3. With the exception George HW Bush, every GOP president since Ford has been increasingly dumber and inept. Each time I thought, well this is as low as it will go. Nope.
  4. \ Does the administration at A&M believe it's unmanly to hire designers? Are they afraid that an effeminate man may show up and poison their precious bodily fluids? It's facilities that make a great program and wakens sleeping giants. We shall build a fabulous academic building right beside the practice field for all to see! Texas A&M University home of the Fightin' Texas Aggies from Texas has arrived at last! Mmmmmkay. I'll call a top architect and designer they'll really-- Just get the same Russian guy who designed the other buildings. Requirements? Just make it any color besides that baby shit burnt orange tu uses. No problem. So the Aggies go forth and spend tens of millions on a plain brick building with a plain set of builder grade big windows. The kind of thing Texas uses to house utility installations. I have to think that Adam C. Sinn '00 comes into the picture late. The Aggie engineer/architect was given a piece of paper with the name on it and instructed to add it to the building. An inventive man, the artist uses his trusty ruler to measure the width of the building and chooses a plain blocky font. I will just jam name in space over window. Clients not fancy people. Da! It's gorgeous. He positions it at the top of the plain not-burnt-orange wall just above the wildly inventive and attractive brownish gray louvered thing that really pulls the design together. Not an inch is wasted with spacing. And, thank goodness!, the whole clumsy title fits! Mr. Sinn must have his full name, including middle initial, spelled out. Adam C. likes his class year present because it might make people think he is a double nought spy. The whole thing represents the understated way that Fightin' Texas Aggies like to announce themselves. A big, ugly headline, "I'm a Aggie!" I suppose it was the headline idea that made breaking the building name into lines that fit on the big burnt orange brick side of the wall unthinkable. Adam C. Sinn '00 Academic and Wellness Center or just maybe Adam C. Sinn Academic Center You will be shocked to know that I have no design experience. I should have applied for the job. [What do you think, William?]
  5. Cruising with your pals. You're all geared up in your armor, mask, heavy arms, and a license to fuck with anybody of color that you like. Gettin' paid to do it! Boners all around! Somebody ruins it by throwing a sandwich. Shoulda opened fire.
  6. They figured most of our team would be dead or shell-shocked after the grind of an SEC season. It was to be a mercy killing.
  7. And most of them will deployed in American urban areas, Canada, and Greenland. All annexed parts of the Big Beautiful Unye Shays. No sweat voting. The call is coming from inside the house, RomaVicta Resistance is futile, RomaVicta
  8. They're not making an argument about mail-in ballots. They're further undermining faith in our election processes. They don't care about legitimate ballots of any sort. They want all ballots to seem illegitimate so they can claim whatever they want. They're dismantling a republic not thinking about politics as usual. There are big stories about this all over the front pages of every newspaper in the country everyday. It's all anyone can talk about on TV news. I think the tide is turning.
  9. They are too timid, editorially, to report what they see in accurate terms. There's a war going on in Gaza with a hunger crisis not a famine caused by a brutal, inhuman invasion. Editors and legal departments will have to discuss this issue for weeks before they decide, finally, that concentration camp is too charged a description for their readers. Now, somebody on a panel show might call them concentratin camps. They will be answered immediately by a shouting, outraged fascist accusing them of hating America.
  10. Shit through and through. The pustules are in charge. We helped blow them up; why would we want to put 'em back together? I think the news media are still shying away from the word "famine" to describe the holocaust in Gaza. Calling ongoing extermination a "war" may be a war crime in itself.
  11. According to Pate, Elko is going to ask his team to practice hard and play hard. Play. Hard. There's your significant difference, my friend. He also says that if they win a big game that it will be a big deal. Light coming through yet?
  12. I like Klatt a lot. I think he's fallen into that thing I mentioned above: The Aggie narrative finally gets to you, and you go out on a limb. I do find the proximity of these words amusing: High hopes for the Aggies = #16 I'll echo @closetojumping's sentiment about media hate. I don't think they hate anyone. They fluff teams that are doing well. They favor the aristocracy. When we're not good, you hear people everywhere wanting us to be good. They may be Penn State, USC, or Michigan State fans, so they won't pull for us to win it all, but they like big names to stay big. Sports fans are thin-skinned with long memories. Herbstreit called us a cesspool once, and many will never forgive him. He loves the college game and makes sure he knows his stuff. He's great for CFB as far as I'm concerned. He was once standing in the sticky poo that Klatt finds himself in now. He scraped it off and moved on from focusing on the Aggies. I don't think the pundits have many grudges or hatreds. Many are just stupid. All are occasionally wrong.
  13. Yep. They'd be dancing in the streets out front of the Chicken after being skinned alive by the over-rated Arch Manning in Austin and bumped out of the top 16.
  14. Pathetic quibble of the day: There are several posts about whether this historic Colorado game should count as non-neutral. It says so much about how desperate they can get to identify some meaningless detail as evidence that futililty is not the way of the Aggie.
  15. I just about never watch this stuff. It's a patience issue when it comes to listening to sports guys talk. I watched this, and it prompted a consideration of the difference between blather and bloviation. Is the difference merely philosophical? I'll get back to you on that. "Elko and his staff are going to ask this team to do something most teams can't do. Prepare and play really hard in each game. There, I said it. Most teams don't do this, because they don't have a genius like Mike Elko working magic and exerting a gravitational field. "Here's another keen point: Notre Dame is a big game for them. If they go to Notre Dame and win there, that will tell you something about this team. I follow sports closely and have my own show. I go to the gym and can keep a white shirt unstained. Winning a big away game will be a big deal for A&M." Profound. Ask your team to win all year. Then win big games. Okay, I took liberties with the language but not the spirit. There is only spirit in Pate's bloviation: the blather of school spirit for the dear old Texas Aggies. ETA: @BurntEyes reminds of Pate's opening: A&M's season last year was a success because they entered the Texas game needing only that win to go to the SEC Championship Game. As y'all say, that fact is doing a lot of heavy lifting in rating the Aggies as contenders.
  16. I'm late to this thread. Skimming some great stuff. Compliments to @closetojumping I wonder if A&M making themselves largely unignorable despite nobody much caring about their football program places them in a unique position to be over-rated just about every year. I think they are likely the only team of some prominence in college ball to have alumni constantly touting themselves as the next blue blood. They mantra the sleeping giant/all the advantages line until the notion finds footing in some minds of the national CFB media. At one time or another, just about all of those sports pundits pick A&M to surprise the world. At no time do the Aggies deliver more than a big upset win en route to their traditional ocho-cuatro. Now, they have established the pitiful narrative of "is this year finally the year the Aggies break through?" Nobody really wants to spend any more time on A&M than they do Michigan State or Pitt, but the annual question, just as the annual failure, remains: is this the year? They get an obligatory and cursory look flavored by the Aggie hard sell leading to this notion that they will be better than they are. The reasoning is usually applicable to all above average schools: if their QB breaks out, if the OL finally gels, if linebackers can stay healthy... Other than OU's aging MNC, I don't think the breaks have ever gone well enough for the miracle to happen. The Aggies just set themselves up, unfailingly, as a November punchline. The wages of self-promoting a self that sucks.
  17. Nothing bad enough can happen to these people, but what they do to others will be enough for me. Fat, masked, armored, bullying, fucks.
  18. Just tweak the Dem messaging and all this goes away. Just politic better!
  19. I like the phrase, "beautiful at every age." Not all persons are. The masturbation kings seem shocked, as they rub their wrinkly puds, that people age. Go to the "I can't believe this is the same actor" thread. They seem to feel betrayed by nature's course.
  20. So needed.
  21. Why do I always have to take out the garbage? I hate taking out the garbage. This is such a long fucking walk. I hate long walks. Why couldn't I have a gold carpet? What am I even doing here? Those fighters are scary, huh? Ha! Ha! Ha! Where fat boy?
