Indeed. Other teams may have good players.

This guy is really smart. I particularly like the Aggie habit of tracing the provenance of their genius. I've said this many times and have the clippings to prove it! This guy knows what's important when it comes to rankings: He completely left out the colossal screwing A&M is getting aphabetically here. It's University of Tenn and t.u.. Aggies starts with an A and they should be A-lone atop the SEC rankings. T-sip toxicity at its finest! Um...huh? Brings it home pretty well, though: Lastly, an enormously worthwhile comment:

We are in profound disagreement. We've both spoken. I think I got a little too pointed. Shall we leave it at this?

By the way, this has nothing to do with anything I've written. I don't claim to be miserable. I don't deny and have often written here that I will have lived the greatest time in history to be an ordinary white male person. I've rolled in the lucky throw of those dice. I have no idea what moved you to write the above in answer to me. Seems pre-conceived.

Grow up. Actually, most of the things I named are confirmed by a closer study of history through eyes other than our own white, self-congratulatory, male eyes. I was as resistant as you to believing these things. My will to follow the lies was not so strong as to provide the blindness required to ignore history. Suit yourself. I suggest reading an Indigenous People's History of the US as a starting point. It refers to things beyond this continent. Maybe look into the Belgian Congo. Take a gander at the Indian Schools we had running through the 1960s. Show me the history of other places where such practices as erasing cultures was common. We're not the only ones who can brutal. Is that your defense? It's a culture not an isolated event. I won't bother with this anymore unless you do something other than baldly assert. Again, congrats on your heroic actions that allow you to, without substantiation, assume others have not done as much. In fact, thanks for providing an example of my point.

Literally true but hopelessly out of touch. Western Culture is White Man Culture. Poorly run carnage fest. Using race as a justification for enslavement. Ruthlessly exterminating indigenous peoples. Ruthlessly exterminating Jews. (Europe stood by while the Nazis rounded those people up. Nobody engaged in that war because of the Final Solution.) Assumption of superiority. Just. To. Name. A. Few. So, no, I wasn't referring simply to phenotype. Not all of the phenotypes are responsible for White Man Culture. We are largely blind to what it means for non-White Males. Fighting Woke-ism is the means of willfully maintaining that blindness. Congrats on all your bold actions stated by you above.

We've already got a final solution.

Trump loyalists will never believe that they made a mistake. That's why I place the question mark beside Brisket's pos rep. I'm surprised he doesn't see this as he's been so accurate about this whole plane crash. You may see some swing voters waver, but you won't see Trump loyalists do so because they see only the reality the hate engine and Trump lays out for them. The Juden lib socialists and the illegals will be responsible for sinesterly thwarting God's chosen POTUS from restoring greatness. We know this movie.

You know, I've personally experienced three women weeping at the outcome of the election. These are women that I know well. At first, I thought the extreme reactions were partially induced by alcohol and partially over dramatic no matter how real and dire the actual meaning of the election is for women. I can be slow on the uptake sometimes when the abstract becomes immediately real. Forced pregnancy. Loss of medical privacy. Withholding of medical attention for pregnant women for fear of violating abortion laws. The embrace of a sexual molester and rapist as leader of the country. Open talk about wives having to discuss and reveal their votes to their husbands. Even on the other side, the suggestion that you could hide or lie about your vote to your husband recognizes a not uncommon hierarchy/patriarchy that I'd assumed was gone. All of that adds up to a very bleak statement about the cultural status of women in the United States. The too often statements of "would" around here illustrate the casual denigration considered acceptable in public discourse under the guise of guys being guys. I'm again slapped awake to the righteous outrage of women . I'm guessing that some will sneer at this post as white-knighting. Women don't need my white-knighting. I write observations about citizens. Many women will likely cringe at this post because it does carry the sound of the protector. Again, I write observations. Maybe they're errant. I don't think so. Women are viewed as chattel by a sizable part of our population that, shockingly, includes other women. We need to do some re-thinking. We have a white man problem.

In the post-game analysis that I heard after Tuesday, nobody mentioned Christian Nationalism at all. Will the Catholics who voted Trump be happy with Southern Baptist/Evangelical dogma becoming the state-supported voice of the Natinal Religion? I used to hear all the time from the accosting Christians curious about whether my presumed search had turned up Jesus that the Great Whore Mother of Babylon (or whatever) from Revelations was, obviously, the Catholic Church. FAFO

This may elevate you to national treasure.

That's it. The people pulling the schad are those idiots who couldn't see past some perverse sense of self-righteousness to the action that best served their purpose. That doesn't impact the profound sympathy and outrage a person may have for the targets of Israeli slaughter in Gaza and points east of Israel. Biden and the US have failed the Palestinians at best. Now, even the lip service and wan warnings to Israel will be gone and part of the good old days.

All schad. No symp.

I renew my (serious) pledge to never vote for white men. I renew my statement of a desire for a law to keep white men from running anything for 30 years (minimum). I renew my expectation that a few dullards will respond, "But Roma, there have been bad, terrible women," as though that somehow balances the weight of history. Henry Rollins called this "man's" world a poorly run carnage fest. He deserves a annuity for that fresh phrase. Fuck the white man.

Sometime during the first Trump presidency, I had a thought I never anticipated having as an American: Where does the Army stand? I pledge allegiance to the flag....

Recognizing the grand scheming: That grand scheme? The world conspiracy to keep the Aggies from their rightful place atop the college football world! He has unmatched experience at using losses to prove a team's superiority.

We're getting close to Aggie parrot mode on this point.

Again, playing weak teams does not mean we are weak. We can only play the schedule we have. Florida? Five touchdowns and a shutout in the first half suggests a powerful team.

Yeah. It was weird having the coach of the dominant national team for the last five years breathlessly celebrating as though he'd just unseated the VY or Colt McCoy teams. I'll add that pitiful defense cost us that OU game not under-preparation for a rivalry game. It looked like we went into a watered-down victory D which created a slow motion horror I never want to contemplate again. We've also got more at stake now where any loss is critical. I'm sure we'll be ready for the Aggies.

I think that's a great point.

In our place, they would have taken our "second half victory" as proof they were better than Georgia by the end of the game. I've seen posts where they note that Florida winning the second half against Texas has meaning. Intellectual gymnastics is not an apt hobby for the intellectually disabled.

I actually don't like that my response to these stories is at best asympathetic but mostly, "Yeah? Fuck you, fascist." I begin to think my emotional resignation since the election has to do with the clear vision that election gives to what this country wants and who most of us want to be.

I'm ashamed that we don't meet your party's standard.

I wonder how many animals these guys tortured growing up.
