NPR the day after the debate. Rightfully, they reported the Dem worry about Joe's acuity. Then they beat into the ground for awhile. Trump is mentioned as a contrast to Joe by being more forceful and present as a speaker. Fair that. Oh, they added as an aside, "although much of what he said were falsehoods." That's it. Trump is traitor, liar, amoral narcissist, and a felon. But the hubub is that Joe performed poorly and the Dems, as they do, panicked. You tell me which of the above is the big story in a presidential election? But it's how they always cover the horse race as alluled to above. No salient issues like base qualifications as a person or citizen, instead we get coverage of how the needle moves for the morons from day to day. The biggest news story since WW2 is that the US electorate is considering and may indeed be electing a "man" whose malignant flaws and general malignancy are in plain view. The electronic press are missing it because of the template they can't help but apply. Any American in a coma would be a better choice than Trump who shouldn't be comfortable appearing in public. My whole white male babyboomer run of luck is looking a little shaky. The climate will likely hold up long enough for me, but I doubt my country will. And not an argument in the world will have any impact on the future of a free republic.

You know, I go to regular TexAgs. I see stupid shit that I don't want to post if it's just a single maniac/moron. Then... OMG! They retained an assistant to take over, and all of their players aren't portalling out! Our big party's a bust! Something feels deflated! Schloss is crumbling before our eyes! There's more from two highly decorated Aggies: Then a "rookie" steps in and makes their plan even more diabolical: Later in the thread, some more Aggie observations and planning. Maybe they should be filed under hysterical delusion. They're not as upvoted as those above, but I suspect the slow readers over there haven't got to them yet:

If at first you don't succeed....

Superman knows the score and whose foot is on whose throat. Classy fans sending poorly worded death threats trump everything in the world. It's like some sort of high wizardy shit in dungeons and dragons and dweebs.

There were about 15 years in there transitioning from Macovic to Mack Brown that our defense would regularly crack open right up the middle for long touchdown plays. I don't want to live those days again. Three questions: 1. We're missing out on star players, but are our players and prospective players at DT worse than average? 2. We're recruiting well at Edge and LB. Why wouldn't the talent imbalance moving to those positions not offset the diminished talent at the DT spots? 3. It seems that great speed and power at Edge and LB offers advantages against the increasing reliance on the pass. Is there no effective defensive scheme that maximizes LB and Edge and relies less on DTs?

Good point. They are the kings of incredulity. They closely examine any presented fact before embracing it as true. You've got to wake up way before the early bird to fool these guys. Schlossnagle's burner phones and him throwing the CWS are truths to be carved in stone. Now they just have to wait awhile to see which "prominent MLB manager" leaves the pros to come to his (and everyone else's) dream job in Destination Station home of the Texas A&M Fightin' Texas Aggies from Texas!

If someone can find the thread where the Aggies are sure we'll end up with an assistant or up and comer because we're just not elite anymore, I would be grateful. Top of Texags Baseball board: If they announce Earley, I'm sure we'll get posts of how much better he is than one of the unnamed prominent MLB managers interested in the job. I'm guessing Buzz's assistants are getting excited.

Irony deafness is never amusing. Thanks for this, William: Sooo, they were all leaving because a coach left. Now, some may stay if you retain a coach. They just love A&M, I guess. Just throw in some precious NIL money from your limited budget, and you have proof positive that these guys are true Ags! See you at muster! William, you better not let your mother upstairs catch you peddling the same lies about coach searches. No more eggplant lasagna. The world is watching and pulling for the fearless on every front guys.

You're dreaming if you think anybody is still thinking about it today, sport, but Howdy! _____________ Oh, Olin. Thanks for this erudition: Two out of the last three years, you got to the MCWS under Schloss. Good start, Olin. Accurate. Obvious but accurate. 1 A&M with facilitiesfacilitiesfacilities and all the other shit they say they have can make a good coach elite. Okay, let's see you prove this, buddy. 2 Schlossnagle never made the Finals prior to coming to A&M. Therefore, being at A&M actually made the coach better rather than vice versa. We're deep into the premise. What follows will show that the Aggies are regulars in the finals, and it's just plug and play with all them fine facilities. Lay it out for me, Olin. 3 A&M reached the college world series 2 times and almost, so very close, 2 other times in the prior 10 years. Well, there it is. Olin proves his point-- wait. A&M supposedly got Schloss to the finals? Olin must be leaving out a bunch of A&M history where they make the finals and maybe even win a couple of times. Let's go to wiki: Olin, you fast-drivin' baby, you listed four of the only eight appearances in more than 70 years. It was all futility until Schlossnagle showed up. Don't you think it's just possible maybe he raised A&M? Even a Judas or a clumsy Brutus can be a fabulous coach, ya know. Here's your award for brilliant argument. Pretty good likeness!

I did him favors including: Relaying game times. Telling people to get to the games on time. Giving him a kidney. Reporting about the team. Inviting him to my wedding because of all friendship indicated above between an internet reporter and an assistant coach. He scarfed up all the popcorn shrimp and little sausages in bbq sauce at the reception, and he never called me Brauny.

Fighting stopped in Ukraine. Debate ceased in the British Parliament. The US called a national holiday. China stopped doing Chinese things. Why? They were all making time to discuss the most successful baseball season in Texas A&M history where they won neither a conference or national championship! Qatar was going to stop studying US nuclear secrets for a whole week to talk about it. But tu messed that all up. They're bullies and not nice like aggies who keep the gloves on and always saw the sips as friends and brothers!

They do hold that the volume of their yelling and lack of waver to their faith in all things Aggie are the real ingredients to winning.

Of adult age to be precise.

The pinnacle where you needed to win one of two but lost both. No national championship. No conference championship.

He was over-prepped and tried to get too much into each answer. His strategy should have been to make a single solid point on each topic. He also should have started calling out Trump's lies earlier. I think Joe would have been better walking in there and going off the cuff. Trump parroted the same lies over and over. He refused to answer substantive questions. There was a time when that would have hurt a candidate. These days, you can try to overthrow the government and still be viable. I would have gone after Maga Republicans all night. I would have called Trump a whiner earlier. I would have tried to avoid repeating the same transitions over and over. There is no comparison between the candidates. Biden is not a traitor. He's also too old for the job. At least he's not Putin's lapdog. I spent most of the debate raging. Sad days for the republic.

Luicci was so dead on about the football coach process. Everybody was lining up, even successful pro coaches. The sky was the limit. They got The Elk. William was right again.

One badass lawyer. Look! An ambulance! Just the guys for a complicated case of coach theft and bad doin's. And he's a Super Lawyer! His huge legal team. Scary! The team: Annnd, honor code! I bet there's no super duper lawyers posting around here. Shame!

There seem to be a lot of players on the A&M team that seemed to be Aggies because Schlossnagle was there. He's gone. They're gone. Maybe they liked winning more than blaming other people for losing. Father figure/bond? You sound kinda needy, bro. You need that Aggie family and crutch to get you through the hard times that everybody else calls life. You know your cornball audience. Now, fuck off.

I believe that's their bar for such hires. Nobody is crazy about the idea of working in College Station. You have to go to weddings of Texags contributors, put up with abusive fans, and spend everyday walking through a freak show. They've just been taught that lesson again, but they never learn.

This is the shit making a lot of other shit moot. I'm guessing the top 1% own the high ground near fresh water. They don't give a shit about any others. Thanks, holy capitalism. Thanks, idiots who think that's what this republic is basically about. Thanks for making a profoundly powerful argument for socialism that most everyone will ignore. I don't know if AOC is a socialist, but whatever she is, I'm aboard. Sorry, Greta. You're trying to appeal to a selfish, greedy audience that evidently doesn't give a fuck about your generation's world. Hope the 15 minutes of fame and the pat on the head will suffice in the place of nobody listening to simple truth. YEEEEEEE! HAWWWWW! I'll bring some Bulleit rye and Fever Tree gingerale, @Brisketexan.

So do dickheads.

He was hiding his joy at having denied A&M the NC (natty to Aggies). Yep

Fabulous idea. Somebody send a telegram to the coaches!
