  1. This guy found a clever, clever, clever way to cash in on the Schlossnagle betrayal. He paid to post this. Evidently, his brilliance appealed to his savvy audience.
  2. Several years ago, I was in Colorado staying at a friend's. He introduced me to local guy who was very handy with construction and contracting. Nice guy. He was wearing a Tennessee hat that I commented on. I said something nice like there wouldn't be a Texas without Tennessee. He asked where I went to school. University of Texas. Texas! We're the real UT. I shrug. I'd never known there was an issue there. I couldn't muster up much care about it. And our color orange is- I cut him off. Yeah, you can see it from space! Not a bad guy. He had a good laugh. He ended the comparison.
  3. In the movie, The Hustler, there is a great exchange between Fast Eddie and George C. Fuckin Scott. It's in a bar after Eddie lost to Fats. Eddie says he lost because he got drunk. Scott starts talking about making excuses to give yourself leave to lose. It's absolutely brilliant as is much of the movie. The Aggies never get a level playing field. They want to claim superiority over the people whom they play against and can't beat. They've created this culture and it kills them. All they had to do was do right by Schloss, keep him happy, and try to stifle some of the aggiest shit. They'd be in the World Series every year and likely win one before too long. But they couldn't. Now they have two former assistants as head coaches of two of the three major sports. If you're not redass, it must be miserable being around them and being a "fellow Ag." I can't quit this crazy anthropological study.
  4. There's some strange irony in there somewhere. A movement claiming it wants to make America Great Again and actually called the Republican Party has moved a substantial number of actual voters to disenfranchise themselves by supporting a candidate and party taking America to a whole new place for it called fascism. These same voters are convinced they are saving the republic from the anti-fascist party of voters. Another strange aspect is that there is a massive galaxy of independent news organizations that can't bring themselves to see the biggest story of their lives right in front of them. Will his performance hurt Biden in the polls? Let's talk about the campaign like we always do! It would be far less embarrassing if we weren't being destroyed by an idiot. Of course, it's apt that he is driven by greed and narcissism because that's what capitalism and conservatism drive us towards. I think I may already be out on the ledge just taking it all in and enjoying the breeze. I can't do a thing about this. Only ruthless use of force has a chance now. After the bananas are harvested, maybe the Army will take action. Let's enjoy the football season when it gets here. Hook 'Em, my friends!
  5. They mention us far more times than they mention themselves, and they do a line dance led by spastic yell leaders in white.
  6. A lot of chips on peoples' shoulders in response to a simple little video celebrating coming to the SEC. It's okay. We'll knock 'em off. They really need to stop listening to Aggies.
  7. We're through three. The Fuck You no Fuck You arguments are noisy and pointless beyond a few seconds. The misery of the workers starts raising questions about why they continue. The good cheer is gone amid the toil. The first episode is like a very well-crafted tone poem. That's hard to do because there is such risk that a single misstep will lose the audience. It's the kind of patient filmmaking you see in the Station Agent and The Visitor (Tom McCarthy movies). Now it's like being plugged into a wall socket. We'll finish because it's been so good, but I'm glad of the warning that it doesn't really go anywhere. Lowered expectations will be a boon.
  8. Non-stars Niles Crain (great all around but brilliant at physical comedy) Ted Baxter (MTM show) Kramer
  9. Welcome to yokelville where homophobia increases your manful manliness quotient. This guy adds an astute observation. I get the feeling this guy wasn't a combat soldier but wants to sound as though he's on a recon in enemy territory. Same guy, very next post Black T shirt. No Aggie gear. Undercover in enemy territory risking heckling should he be found out. This is a land where nobody cares if you can't find the gigantic stadium. Nary a Howdy! Alone on a stealthy bike. Furtive. Coiled like a cobra. Barely got out. Area scoped out; ready for larger incursion in uniform. Iraq2xvet RTB but ready! Yeah, I can't really see this guy covering a sector from a rolling Humvee. (I saw Generation Kill, I think that is probably closer to action than ol' Two Times up there). Congressional Medal of Ugly for this guy (Yeah, I did some time in the 'Nam by seeing Full Metal Jacket.)
  10. They're just misunderstood.
  11. That's evidence that he's not a moron? Interesting opinion considering they hired a HC who was an unpaid assistant just a year ago. Maybe he was sure he could save a million a year from a non-revenue sport and still attract a good coach because of their fabulous facilitiesfacilitiesfacilities, that great Aggie homefield advantage, and his own brilliance as a negotiator salesman. No cherry for you, Aggie.
  12. Yep. They have some great players, but a mass migration of their top talent to Texas wouldn't feel altogether right to me. We seem to be doing just fine, as you say, without them.
  13. Fuck. They keep writing new stupid things. Schlossnagle (POS to the nickname maniacs in College Station) Coached the deciding game for the college NC a week ago. How much has the world changed since then? That's a business man for sure!
  14. How deep is their overdraft protection? Those idiots won't be able to hire a decent head coach. They'll come my way, you just watch. Man, this jersey looks better-- nope don't go there. Think of the money. Still waiting on the names of the two MLB managers William told us about just a few days ago. Still installing his system. I wonder about that, too. The portal guys have a bit of time to decide. Do they really want to play at a school with an untried head baseball coach when they could go to a certain contender? The longer they stay unattached, the better other places will start to look.
  15. Fucker never did anything while he was here. Can't believe anybody would hire him.
  16. Also their self-righteous victimhood and how they're so classy and nice in a mean ol' world. Lying their asses off but believing every word they say. Is that a feedback loop?
  17. From the texags announcement thread: I guess a new Aggie fact also known as a lie has been born. Early was actually the coach last year. Schloss was busy swinging or lying. Sad. This is like standing at a volcano of myth making. More mythology Look out, BCR! Here's one of them highly decorated texags. And, he's got the paranoia to prove why! File under "I'd rather have a 3-star than a snooty 5-star!" and "who gives a shit?" Another guy for the list: Yup.
  18. That one guy is right about OU's SEC party. I'm furious that the SEC is allowing OU to steal attention away from our party. I'm guessing the Sooners weren't any more aware of our party than I was of theirs. Aggies are keeping score.
  19. I've never come here before. This page is very nice. A&M should have tried to be less Aggie and given Schloss everything he needed. The 2%ers must be sick at what they allowed to happen. The non-2%ers think it all happened to them due to us. This talent influx suggests Texas' commitment to returning to the top. Restore the dynasty!
  20. "I'm getting texts from coaches around the country from HS to the NFL Majors saying Jimbo Elko Earley was a homerun hire for football baseball and there's not a better guy to lead a program. "Jimbo Elko Earley gets A&M and this is his dream job. Expect a culture change. Jimbo Elko Earley will bring accountability and a lunch pail work ethic. Attendance at football baseball practice will be absolutely required. Football Baseball coaches and fans all over the SEC are worried about what Jimbo Elko Earley can get done in view of all of our resources, facilities, and the greatest fans in the world."
  21. Checked at Texags not really expecting anything new enough to post. Wrong again. The Early Crisis and what it means for Texas' and Schloss' tarnished reputations. Just how much of a victory is it to persuade an assistant to be head coach? Evidently pretty big and difficult to attain. It would lessen the deflating and crumbling should Earley do so! It took me a moment to get that one. He's talking about Texas offering to take care of A&M. We see what happens when they wander away from that helping hand. Too bad, it will never be extended again.
  22. I can't think of any school other than A&M the above would apply to. Iowa State has made some noise in recent years. They've defeated us more than once and even done it in DKR. I manage to like Iowa State and the fans I've come across here and elsewhere on the internet. They don't crow anymore than anyone else. They don't, as far as I know, pay for national campaigns claiming their fearlessness on every manful manly front. I don't think they care if I like them or hate them. It makes me like them more. You can apply that to any school that I can think of. Nobody is on a jihad against the evil to be found in their most hated rival. Most people don't actually hate their most hated rival. The Aggies commenting on the Schloss welcome press conference noted he seemed very uncomfortable particularly when answering questions about A&M. He was receiving death threats! He was feeling the full force of A&M's jihad with no experience of how lightly one should take it. They're all mouth. Fuck them. We're coming on in football and baseball at just the right moment. Most people are happy about that even if they root against us. Nobody gives a shit about Texas A&M University beyond their annual self-immolations and embarrassing public displays of bizarre traditions. We're Texas. Screw you.
  23. Maybe NBC is angling not to be seized for reporting fake news under the second Trump reign. They'll say it's only fair to balance out some Dem they had on last week. It's the saddest joke ever.
  24. We hired Schlossnagle only because we thought Earley came with him. Earley is the entire key to the whole shootin' match. Schloss is nothing without Earley and the A&M facilitiesfaciltiesfacillities. Curses! We're about to be foiled again!
