  1. There's a man. Wild admiration. I wonder if this reflects some of the conversations among those flag officers that the two guys from the TV ordered to gather a while back. I'm sure the TV guy in charge of the, cough, War Department will challenge him to a push-up contest to show who is more competent to make military decisions.
  2. Hey! Ahhhrrrrr! We're pirates!
  3. I'm sure you have many friends who strive to match your charm.
  4. LonghornScott did great work back on Barking Carnival. It was the only good play on our last possession against Florida with the game on the line. It's only one play, but it was high pressure with Caldwell going in cold. I'm thinking it was one of those nice plays with a receiver open for a nice gain. It's not hard throw. Arch had not a single play like that on that possession.
  5. Nobody saw this coming. I expect double red level condemnation from the West. Real ire. Strong words. Fuck Israel.
  6. Nobody cares about you, Aggies. You haven't done a thing to generate interest since beating ND who is only okay. Oddly, the world was not set afire by you beating MSU and Florida. Your fluke record due to schedule will dog you until the LSU game even if you keep winning. Beating them isn't the deal you hope it will be either. You beat a shit team by 3 and celebrate your ranking. We beat a shit team by 3 and are reaching for the pitchforks.
  7. Did I post this already? Not sure. Too lazy to look. Caldwell:
  8. No offense to you personally, but I'm so sick of people bringing up mechanics when any QB fails. I'm not denying the importance of proper throwing motion, but just the use of that as a catchall for QB problems. Mechanics does do much for a QB who can't complete a simple pass to a wide-open receiver. It doesn't do much for a QB struggling to know where to look. It doesn't do much for a QB that is late to launch. I don't know that it counts as part of footwork, but if not, it won't cure that problem either. If the QB needs to get the ball out of his hand more efficiently after making a read, sure. If a QB needs more zip or tighter accuracy, sure. I don't think it's the place to start with a QB who fails at the things I name. If a QB has already shown he can throw, and fails at the things I name, the problem is surely not mechanics.
  9. Yes. You're being very clear. You're a parrot who thinks by repeating his declaration it becomes more correct with each squawk. A last time before you return to your little swing in your cage, the argument is that we should give him a shot. Arch sets a very low bar for being exceeded. Maybe Caldwell can do that. I'm sure you're persuaded. I look forward to your repeat about who is the moron here.
  10. Smile, we won! Whoop! Aggies felt strong about having their fate in their hands last year! Caneck! Caneck!
  11. He wasn't the guy last year. He was QB2 on a playoff team. Sure, he started a few games and did well, but they were not really competitive. It grows bizarre. 1. When your eyes don't see what you want them to, switch to statistics. 2. You cannot know that Caldwell is not better if he never plays. Your post reads as though you're fearful that Caldwell will actually play better and crush your Arch fantasy. 3. People are saying give him a chance. Starting him might actually decompress Arch. Giving Arch a quarter before trying Caldwell wouldn't be anything other than fair to do. 4. How does one obtain moron certification? Is it the same place they certify having no sense of irony? Perfect circle. You can't play the backup because he's played zero actual plays (inaccurate, btw) So, there is no evidence he is better So, you can't put him in the game when the starter fails miserably. Therefore: You can't play Caldwell because you haven't played Caldwell. You're just being emotional if you disagree. That Catch 22; it's a hell of a catch.
  12. @Thatguy Niblet is fucking fearless and deadly. Is there any rational reason for him not playing receiver? I know Wingo and Arch have this magical chemistry. The way Arch throws gives the ball a positive magnetic charge. Wingo gives off positive magnetic charge. Results: Chemistry! I'll also repeat something else from earlier in the season. The team having to emotionally lift Arch instead of him doing that for the team is very bad mojo and needs to stop. Emotional fragility breeds emotional fragility.
  13. I look forward to it. Seriously.
  14. Being easier on Arch isn't saying that he's good. In fact, my post never said that he is. I mainly commented on what appeared to me to be a goal when the game started. Release fast no matter what and accuracy will follow. The former didn't last long and the latter never happened. I watched the game, and, while not nearly as astute as you, I could see what you do. I've got to remember that it's all or nothing around here. If you look at my posts from earlier in the season, and I don't know why anybody would, you will see that I was a ridiculed proponent of the notion that he was not performing at even nearly a competent level, and, if it were to continue, we should give someone else a try. I'm still there. Performance is everything.
  15. Yikes. I'd blocked that out of my mind. It does indicate, again, that Sark does set up plays that would work very well with just a competent QB. Caldwell hits that pass.
  16. I'm easier on Arch this week than two weeks ago. I got the feeling that the goal for this game was that he throw at the moment he should. Period. Early, to my uneducated eyes, he was doing just that. Even if he missed on the throw, he was meeting the goal of timing. My guess is that the belief, if I'm anywhere near correct, is that his accuracy will come after mastering speed of release. Of course, that disintegrated with deplorable play of the OL. It's hard not to revert back to bad habits under such duress. [ETA: Ugh. I just watched the video above. I'm easier on Arch but still think Caldwell should get a chance. Otherwise, we're struggling for bowl eligibility.] The 3rd and 3 first possession. I think we'd already got one first down. Let's chop 'em up with a soul-killing dominant drive. Nope: Sark goes cutesy with double reverse pitch-back that we've shown before and which fails. Why not take the small victory of a first down? This is akin to going for it on fourth instead of kicking a field goal. (Stoops killed his win by doing that twice in a game where we only managed 10 points.) The small victory makes everybody happy on your side. They feel like they're getting things done. Hey, let's keep it up guys! Pissing that a way gives all of that to the other side. Our guys? Well, fuck. Back to the bench to cheer the defense. The game plan seemed to be just a jumble of random play calls. The announcers saying Kentucky had killed our running game prompted to me to shout, "They don't have a running game to stop. We're not really even trying to attack their line with the run. Sark needs to hire an OC. The best we can buy. Oklahoma State didn't turn it around under Gundy until he stopped calling and drawing up plays during games.
  17. Shall we review the fourth down decisions of Coach Stoops and their impact on the game? First possession, didn't kick field goal. May have provided victory margin. OT, didn't kick field goal even though his defense was killing us. Allows shitty Texas offense to win game even though they lost yards in their possession. You never know how valuable a point or three will be later in the game. Also, I don't blame this would-be loss on Arch.
  18. Man handling Arkansas: another stellar achievement to prove themselves.
  19. Show up dressed as patriots. You know, in masks and heavily armed.
  20. They get so excited. Aggie dynasty inevitable.
  21. Funny but poor taste. I didn't watch the video but laughed at Charlie Squirt. Wit goes a long way in balancing out poor taste. Plus, I hate political correctness and the wokies harshing just a little plain fun.
  22. Certainly under the old paradigm. As a reflex, I condemned the murder. Now, upon reflection? People are actively, knowingly working to destroy the republic that I was born in. They promote violent prejudice against decent persons of color both citizens and non-citizens. They characterize persons who vote as I have as radical, dangerous, and violent. They are responsible for stochastic terrorism in my country. They've chosen the vilest man they could find to be their face and define them. The new paradigm, IMHO, is open war. They've declared a large portion of their fellow citizens to be the enemy. How can I view them in any other way? Violent destroyers of nations should expect the same in return. Fuck this guy. Fuck all of them. Fuck peace.
  23. The very few articles I've seen don't include Elko on their lists of top candidates for any job. Are we the only ones talking about this or am I simply in the dark. I honestly don't know. Where have you gone, Gary Kubiak? Ag nation turns it's lonely eyes to you. Whoop Whoop Whoop whoop whoop whoop That, too.
  24. Excellent use of $6 billion. The man's a real human being.
