Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
RomaVicta replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Thanks, as always, to @Longhornfrenzy Browsing for gems, this one stopped me dead: I wonder if our shitty defense has anyting to do with this otherwise brilliant analysis. More from coma guy: 1 Noun pronoun disagreement. AgTag confirmed 2 Hmm, haven't heard this before. 3 Scoring early on bad teams indicates that you're a bad team. 4 OU was on us like ugly on an ape 5 Despite converting with "relative ease" they couldn't score and magically fell behind after an initial 3-0 lead. Sad for Sooners. 6 More mystery benefits for Texas D. Turnovers gifted from our Toxic God, Destroyer of Conferences. Teams forced to pass despite easily converting downs. Thank you, God of Toxins! Preserve our shitty team! Mr. AgTag Coma has mastered Cause and Effect. -
Sub-Educated Cretins: The SEC screenshot mega-thread

I was in the endzone seats with a girlfriend who went to A&M. I saw that shot and went into an icy rage. I wanted a Texas player put on the field to hunt down that mother fucker and do the same thing to him. I didn't care if it meant we forfeit the game. I didn't care if the Texas player were to hunt that miserable prick down on his own sideline to do it. It was my second year at Texas. I'd watched the bone run a thousand times. Standard procedure was to punish the QB with a high hit. Having watched it so many times, that assassination hit stood out as obvious in its intent. If I'd had a sniper rifle, I'd still be in prison now. I'd never seen that hit on film until just now. Bad knees cut my own football "career" short. I close my eyes when the morbid sports broadcasters replay an injury tape over and over to try to diagnose what happened. I've managed to never see the Theisman video. That was an act of wickedness. (I mean the hit on Akins, to be clear.) -

Aggies a little sensitive about this. * Is there anything less recent that A&M's last "natty?" A&M reduced to a sad state of affairs: Vanderbilt becomes their proxy to greatness. Vanderbilt. I have no idea what this means: Keen Aggie wit on display. This young parrot just can't get all the holy cliches to work together. Noble effort: Inventive use of commas in first line. Proud college grad. * Your pal, Carl, and every other Aggie, dumbass. (last comma optional) And, lastly: The owner of the dog you're grooming is not your patient. -
2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
RomaVicta replied to bolverk's topic in Cloak Room
I try to stand for something more than companionship and shared experience. It's not easy to cut loose old friends, but integrity comes first if I'm to be a valuable friend myself. I don't countenance disregard for other people and the country among persons that I call friends. It diminishes my self-opinion and overall worth. The most profound argument that I can make about another person's value is withdrawing my friendship which, I hope, means something. -

Gone for two days and I'm 30 pages behind. I'll address this even though it's old. The above describes exactly what is wrong with how this republic works. "Too busy working and famliy-ing to pay attention." In this time period you describe, unions were assailed and things like FMLA were debated. As a former soldier, he may have had insight into all the other invasions and military actions we took that cost trillions of dollars which, again, impacts the functionality of government in issues other than war policy. He might have noticed the radical Christian infiltration of the State School Board and their impact on textbook selection via the Gabler family in the 70s and 80s: My father worked hard and supported a family of 6. Like a huge number of Americans, he took the daily newspaper and read it in the morning before going to work. He wasn't a better man than your Dad, but he was casually involved in reading and forming political opinions. I believe the ill-considered cliche of not discussing politics or religion (I think that was originally directed at family gatherings at Thanksgiving) and a growing anti-intellectual bent in the way we determine who gets their "man card" have played a part in this unravelling of seeing political involvement as a civic responsibility on par with obeying the law. The ambulatory morons who form the undecided are almost certainly the types who abhor conflict of any kind. Conflict is the way of a republic. Today we have an embrace of ignorance among the uninvolved and the embrace of the basest of emotions for too many that are involved. -

They're going to destroy us on the lines of scrimmage. We've only beaten pulse-less offenses. We practically lost to Miss. State. Suddenly the SEC grind is a cakewalk. Oh, wait! Vandy and Kentucky may beat us. Florida just upsest UCF! The sips have three or four losses ahead of them starting with OU Georgia Vandy! It's a grind. It's a cakewalk. It's a grind! It's a cakewalk!

Remove the check. It's no matter to me. They just seem more formidable than the dog shit around them in the polls. Mebbe I'm wrong. -

To be clear, I'm referring to the notion that we entered the SEC talking shit about what we'd do. -

RomaVicta replied to TKthunder2's topic in Football
Just looking at this top 25, there really aren't that many somebodies you can play. The checked teams would be credible wins, but the unchecked teams could drop out of or to the bottom of the top 25 if they lose one game. It's a strange year. Only a few teams, including us, have been consistently good. I include Ole Miss because I think a win over them means more than their ranking indicates. -
Aggies were originally celebrating Jerry World and that game as something that would at least equal the tradition of Texas-OU. Oops.

These idiots read all the Aggie posts about us and somehow translated them to reality. T-sips are arrogant and cocky. They think they'll walk in here and run the place. Look out, the evil ones are here to toxify us all! Who has been talking shit? We were not and are not afraid. We've beaten Georgia and Alabama recently. I haven't heard much shit talk at all from Texas. -

I don't think "Snakey's" motivation was to save Texas. We were slumping more because of coaching choices than our conference. Clemson and Florida State don't play in prestigious conferences. They've done fine. We didn't really need "saving." The tectonic shifts that were imminent in college football dictated that a move would have to be made. Choosing the SEC as a landing place certainly had good effects on recruiting, but I think we'd be doing fine if we were in the BIG. The Aggie assertion that we were saved by the SEC is just a necessary thing they tell themselves because that's what they wanted the SEC to do for them. They remain who they are. We resume being who we've been. -
Congratulations on your confidence in your manly manfulness.

Thanks for posting this. I hadn't noticed that he managed to turn over with the ball under control so that it wasn't on the ground when he slid out of the end zone. This and his wild courage and confidence fielding kicks has put him on the radar. Fabulous.

I've been writing letters to complete strangers trying to make them believe we're a juggernaut. I'm sure everybody else around here is making calls, writing letters, accosting people on the street, and blowing up twitter. Aggie lie: Becomes Aggie fact: Maybe you should tone down your office door. -

He is correct in that OSU means as much to OU as A&M means to us. He just got the "much bigger" thing wrong. 1. This is so important to them. It's almost as if they have no real identity otherwise. 2. -
I'm unpersuaded. I also know it's futile to try to persuade the boys will be boys crowd. You had me going there. Well done.

I'm still able to be kind of shocked at things like that t-shirt. Maybe if you go to a party or something, but I can't help but think of older people or people averse to crudeness in general not being disgusted by that shirt in a very public place. While I'm shaking my cane at youth, I'll add that the Hot or Not thread is a pathology. Why photograph random women who are unaware that you are doing it then sharing your creepnity on Surly? I think it's wrong, to be honest.
