The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
RomaVicta replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
I completely agree. Saying Reagan wasn't aiming at this is irrelevant; his party was. He was a useful avuncular idiot on a horse for the rubes to cheer while the real show was backstage. My friend, we lived in the same time but see those times profoundly differently. Considering Reagan a progressive in any way astounds me. I don't recall that opinion. He was anti-government. He spoke in terms (literally) of welfare queens stealing all our money, he spoke of abuse of food stamps, he said the Dems had gone so far left that they had left the country, trickle down was all about making sure the rich remained rich or got richer, he was a big part in the creation of the permanent hate engine. He was despicable from the start. But people love to be fed hate by somebody they love. So true. Twice Horn is right that this really belongs on the Dem Party thread of Futility. It's not politics; it's war on our republic. See above. People elected a guy who worked against them. He spoke against unions, government's ability to help, he blamed victims such as the poor. As stated above, he thought he was just being the good guy, but he enabled all the villains that have beset this nation since Nixon (Roger Stone, Lee Atwater, et al.) See above; he didn't have to be the instrument to do these deeds. Others were already aiming at this and using him. Profoundly agree. Too many people cannot release Reagan's lovable persona. He must be kept separate from the traitorous aims he enabled and lent advocacy to. -
Was this generated by A&M? Looks like anyone could have AI-ed it. The get so fucking far ahead of themselves. Imagine their peers Michigan State or South Carolina or Virginia Tech publishing something like this. Maybe they mean the road to basking in ND's glory.

I read the first several posts. They are lock-step almost to a man to one side of the political spectrum. It seeps into everything they do. Just about no dissent. That's the Aggie thing about it. Around most places, many viewpoints are represented and voiced. There? Not so much.

Can we talk about Alabama and Michigan and objectivity?
RomaVicta replied to BluTechsan's topic in Football
Yes. Any further explanation of how we are failing to understand @BluTechsan's premise will likely drain away any remaining kind indulgence. -

Tip-toe through the tulips... Both saying so strenuously! Israelis shaking in their boots over that one! On the other hand: Egypt ups the rhetoric to actual threat: Spain does more than nothing: But Israel puts it all in perspective: How they must admire the heroic commitment of surprise attacks carried out by suicide bombers!

This is a wicked act of an evil empire bent on conquest by annihilation. I will never support another penny going to Israel for any reason. I would use the threat of US military intervention to immediately stop this. And I would follow through. We've got a lot of shame and culpability to balance out for supporting the campaign so far. Fuck Israel. Not Jewish people. Israel. Fuck the nation of Israel. There are Jewish dissenters within that wannabe empire. I've always thought that Mossad did a lot of dirty shit for us to give us (and the UK, evidently) deniability. Blackmail is the only leverage that I can imagine Israel having.

Somebody has to harvest those grapes, butcher the chickens, and build shit now that ICE Barbie is running the ebil brown criminals out of our sacred envy-of-the-world country.

Well put and a summary of an opinion that I agree with. It will never happen because arguing about ratings pre-season has almost become a sport of its own. However, the BCS ratings (or whatever they're called this season) have begun late in the season in an attempt to get things right. That said, they are influenced by polls and ratings. Back we are at the start. In my life, I've often seen Texas overrated at the beginning of the season and been proven right. Ironically, one of my favorite seasons for the Longhorns, 1977. saw us as merely receiving votes prior to the first game. Even losing our first and second team QBs playing OU, we proceeded with Earl Campbell and a great defense to an undefeated regular season. We were number one through much of that until ND did what they do in the Cotton Bowl. I write about Texas to show how the so-called blue bloods don't feel entitled to inflated rankings nor do they have much to do promoting them. It's the parrot world of sports writers and pundits who are responsible. The same guys who for years used the term "shadow of their own goal line" and changed mano a mano (hand to hand) to mano y mano (hand and hand) to mean man to man. Idiots. BTW, I like Tech. -
Funny but, if taken literally, you're juxtaposed with this: They're actually, as we know, not very good at either T or P used in their heartfelt T&P response to tragedy. They don't have a clue when it comes to thought and prefer being led. They have no clue about what they should be praying for. Hint: it's not deporting people working hard to hell hole prisons or countries where they don't belong. The "Christians" greatest dread should be that they're right about their punishing religion. You can see the Big G now going over the books, Hmmmm, and how did you dispose yourself towards these people?" Well, uh, they're terribly dangerous rapers and murderers... Of course, they are. And these children of Mine? Well look, you can see it's an eyesore! Yes, of course, unsanitary, too. But how did you aid them after destroying their only shelter and trashing most of their possessions? Advised them to pull themselves up by their bootstraps? Hmmm, of course. As did you? Well, yes- No. No. Remember, I was watching. You didn't. I guess it doesn't look so good for me. No. It never has. Adios. That's irony which you've never understood either. POOF!

Fuck. That's the true shit there.

The power of absolute shamelessness. His principal trait becomes/always was the principal trait of his hard core following.

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is genius use of irony throughout. In the school house scene where Stoddard is teaching about the Constitution, you have a woman and a Black man proclaiming about the right to vote and equality. That's not an accident. The whole movie turns on the legend being more important than the truth. John Wayne was a draft-dodging, right-wing dickhead. Not John Ford. Hell, Ford used actual Indians in his films and was embraced by that community.

Texas Football 2025 - Careening Towards the Abyss

Yea, I don't think OSU decided 14 points is enough and let's just coast to the end. -
Texas Football 2025 - Careening Towards the Abyss
RomaVicta replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
I increasingly believe that we were forecast as a juggernaut a year early because of our QB's last name. Sportswriters are generally pretty dumb. Somehow, they convinced themselves and each other that all the experience of prior Mannings was already loaded into Arch. Nope. He actually has to acquire his own experience. I expected more out of him right out of the gate. That means idiots who write sports persuaded me to join them in the idiot club. Shame on me. It is a lot to expect a first year QB to lead a team to a championship. Mistakes kill those aspirations. It's absurd to expect Manning to play like a veteran who has seen the results of a lot of bad decisions and knows to avoid them. He won't lead us to a championship this year. It will be the defense leading the way if we are to have a chance, IMHO. If the defense keeps us in the playoff picture, Manning may have matured enough by the end of the season to assert himself as a seasoned player. I'm taking it game by game from here with no expectations. -
Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen

Mack Brown?

Bitch is a nice choice of word.

Valid. You see how those things can be said without adding the shit about what he's making on his name and likeness? This isn't the NFL (yet) where players are hired based on immediate performance. We're watching players come out of high school to play at a much higher level which means they must develop. The "well, he's getting paid millions to perform" line isn't apt here. Sure, he might turn out to suck. Certainly fans will have and may state harsh opinions. The money doesn't have much to do with it unless you think a player is loafing due to wealth. That's not the case with Manning or many other players I've observed. That really good pass rusher A&M got from Penn State last year is an example of a player making his money, putting together tape for his next job, and then loafing the rest of the season. Fuck that guy.

The market for "free" yardage is determined by demand/risk. There was little demand for free yardage in the game thus acquiring it and assuming the risk would be poor judgment. (Not bad for an RTF grad!) My acumen is in similar demand, but I stand with you, brother. Correct, IMHO. Further, Manning needs work on seeing the field as a passer not a runner. He's playing like a very promising QB in his first year starting. We've got some lesser opponents lined up, this is an opportunity to work on weaknesses not strengths, IMHO. I despise the dull minded sportswriting world that has treated his first year starting as a coronation. Then they get all mad because they look like idiots for expecting so much, so, naturally, they believe the problem lies with Manning. When I used to buy Dave Campbell's mag every year, they had a run of being wrong about who would win the SWC. After about seven consecutive faulty predictions, whoever wrote that column (Dave hisself?) stated that the onus of being chosen by Dave Campbell's Texas Football to win had been too much for those teams. Sure, Dave, you weren't wrong; they just couldn't take the pressure of your correctness. So it goes here. I think we win it all next year with Manning. Maybe by the end of this year, he'll be playing like a veteran and we will do well should we make the playoffs. Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride. Should be exciting no matter what.

I'm always glad to see Iowa State win. And what the fuck happened to Oklahoma State? It wasn't the best conference for us, but I still like some of the teams. The red head above is pretty.
