Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
RomaVicta replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Featuring the wit and genius of Mike "Ivy League" Elko Let's see that opening tease: the grabber, my man. Irony! A place where few Aggies have gone before let alone even found. Let's go to the source: Fabulous news, Olin. Not having these guys play is, as you say, "a good thing." But what does articulate Penn scholar Elko have to say about the program, the "real program," which you most assuredly are? 1 Remaining in the same place when you suck is not a good strategy. Ivy. League. 2 Gotta play really well to be really good! IVY. LEAGUE. Okay, Coach, lay on some insight. Is it good for the culture? Game prep! Run on to the field! Oooooh! A trophy! All those things. Odd that he doesn't mention extra practices. The Aggies are usually very proud when most of their team shows up for practice, and most of them show up on time. It's a pretty big deal in Aggieland. Coach, RomaVicta here, tell us what this matchup between (a) big named school(s) (and A&M) means to the Texas A&M Fightin' Texas Aggies from Texas? Wow! One wonders which is the greater intellectual achievement, getting into MENSA or graduating on a fooball scholarship from an Ivy League school? Impressive are both to be sure. Lastly, Coach Elko, in one definitive sentence, can you tell us how this process fits your plans going forward? I'll take that as a "no." -

Well, at least he has the charisma of Patrick Mahomes to carry him. -
I Don't Really Watch or Like TV or Movies Anymore
RomaVicta replied to TwiceHorn's topic in Movies and TV
There is. Some of what I like to stream originated on cable and a few on the networks. I can't stand commercial breaks anymore since I started streaming years ago. I haven't read the whole thread, so forgive me if I am repeating someone else: Look to other countries. Korea is my favorite at the moment. They have created zombie series that I love even though I was all zombied out when I first saw them. Their other genres are interesting as well. Characters have dimension. The plots have interesting twists. Their production values and casts are first rate. The studios and big producers being interested only in massive gross revenues has killed the creative niches where they used to dabble with some pride involved. Only money-making directors can push the bland envelope of good versus evil sprinkled with wisecracks. It's blasphemy, but I blame Spielberg's success for some of this. His template is simple even if his skills are extraordinary. I thought Kubrick would be the last artist to work with a studio budget. Thank you, Chris Nolan for making me wrong. -
Tracking Trump Administration and Cabinet picks
RomaVicta replied to PenelopeWitherspoon's topic in Cloak Room
A last visual of profound meaning sure to make me revered throughout the land: Her progression of appearance represents the ideal notion of the soul of America in some ways. Such beauty gone to such horror. Same goes for her. -

My friend, we've landed on the same island. All of our strengths of argument and reason and honesty and good faith are defunct. -

And those are the guys the Aggies used to claim pride in being themselves. It's the whole original meaning of tea sippers. Aggies were out doing the real work while the effete Longhorns sipped tea on the porch. The manly manful actual men prefer UT. For phony, go to aggy. -
I love masturbation preference arguments carried out by people who have a separate hard drive dedicated to sexy images of women they say they wouldn't actually fuck. Especially on the recruiting thread.

Nancy Pelosi is a badass MF and I want her to be Speaker
RomaVicta replied to Hugo Stiglitz's topic in Cloak Room
Ride that plane all the way down. It's a little one and maybe won't crash too hard. I think the concern about aging leaders is old paradigm analysis. That doesn't mean it's not valid in its place. It means it doesn't make a shit in the current denouement of a lost struggle to keep a republic going. A new Pepsi Generation isn't going to do much. The young voted in droves for the current direction even if it wasn't a majority of them (women anyway). I'm sure Pete Buttigieg running the Dem Party would have turned that around lickity toot. -
Even the jokes are repetitive to the point of tedium. This is kind of lazy or nervous because it can't even identify for whom this is true. There are people demanding action. There are bereaved parents and community members going hoarse pointing out the obvious. One political side doesn't give a shit. One political side doesn't have the votes. Most of the voters can't be bothered with more than Ten Minutes Anger or Ten Minutes Sadness. Hell, it's inaccurate to even say that there are actually thoughts and prayers. Even the sincere people don't really think about or pray for whatever recent slaughter/cruelty skitters across their twitter accounts. People aren't crowding the churches or kneeling in private. They just write T&P, and they're good to go. It's not all political. A lot of is just American now. All three trays could be empty for something a little more poignant.

The argument that the news media are swayed by being parts of conglomerates is carried at last. Wouldn't it be nice to know you put up a fight before going down? Yea, but you didn't.

RomaVicta replied to Hugo Stiglitz's topic in Cloak Room
I thought it was because a majority of American voters made their preference for lying, grifting, raping, racist, treasonous haters of the principles that once sustained our republic clearly known. They did so with clear vision. A huge number did so believing they were urged if not commanded to do so by God Himself. But it was the deck chairs all along. CNN and the NYT and NPR's analysts do know what they're talking about. Younger leaders of the Democratic Party would have made all the difference. It's the trees not the forest! I.W. -
So all the culture stuff is just bullshit to the hard realist who knows the ways of the world.

This is why we must control them. Totally. Applaud. This is kind of a handy new term. It can describe either the age of the shooter or the targets of the shooter or both. Next year's word of the year!

The fate of the best-known Messiah awaits every A&M QB since the ascension of Holy Bucky. Instead of a tomb with a big rock, they are lain in the increasingly crowded space beneath a bus. It is unknown if they are positioned to face the dead dog scoreboard.

Texas A&M Recruiting 2025: The Land of Melk & No Money
RomaVicta replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
William laying it out. Thanks, as always, @Longhornfrenzy Getting that CB upgrade. Great stuff! Gotta take the good with the bad when you're hitting the portal hard late in the second quarter. Oh, wait, there's more to the story of Humphrey and A&M. S.O.B. ditched us a year ago! To stay at Georgia! WTF? [The parrots get restless. How are we supposed to feel?] No worries. William to the rescue with impeccable reasoning: You see, the guy loved A&M coming out of high school. The recruitment must have been very close. What? No visit to College Station? Well, then, there must have been a lot of predictions for A&M if Humphrey wanted to wear the Maroon and White. Nope. William, you sure about this guy's commitment to the dear old Texas Aggies? Jilted you twice for Georgia and only came your way when he lost his starting role. This one of those, from the inside you can't explain it things? I guess it's enough for the parrots.- 2541 replies

It's the American Way! On another front, I still hear nothing about Christian Nationalism on NPR when the professors and geniuses are only interested in discussing the small percentage of voters who switched to Trump. It's a forest for the trees world out there. Christian Nationalists hate gays and strong women making their own choices. The movement has turned women against women tapping into very Christ-like fear and hate. And just about no discussion of this tidal force in US politics. Christian hate is way outside the lazy template of an increasingly timid Fourth Estate. We'll see if they catch on when states, likely led by Texas, pass laws forbidding suspected homosexuals from teaching in public schools or working in pediatrics.

And we're the insufferably arrogant ones. No ranked team sees A&M as above them. I'm sure Bowling Green (senior laden, ya know) was pretty impressed with the Aggies. Other schools? Not so much. -
I think that's in the hands of the players to start an auction. Texas being quiet doesn't prevent their agents from testing the waters. Maybe Sark just doesn't want the circus element.
