  1. There’s too much to comment on, but one thing from those posts jumped out to me - the comment about how we wanted to fire Sark halfway through the 2022 season. Halfway through 2022 we had taken Bama to the wire, beaten a good KSU squad on the road, and, oh yeah, had Arch fucking Manning committed. Things weren’t perfect, but the trajectory was phenomenal. Literally no one at Texas wanted Sark fired. But you know how thought we did? Fucking Aggies. They spammed their dank little corners of the internet with speculation about how our boosters demanded that Arch start and that we were too impatient to let anyone develop. They told themselves we were soft and mercurial and that Sark’s seat was on fire. As always, they read rank speculation from a dubious source, warped it even farther to fit their narrative, then repeated it until it became a “fact” on TexAgs. That comment about wanting to fire Sark perfectly encapsulates the Aggie media spin cycle. They shit something out, eat it, shit it out and eat it again, and like the taste more and more with each serving. They wonder why they never meet expectations…if you like to eat shit and are willing to pay for it, people like Lucci will happily serve it to you. It would be infuriating if it weren’t so laughable and pathetic.
  2. They’ve got to still be in contact with Zion. DT is too big a need and the staff has already shown they don’t give up on recruits. Maybe they spend fewer resources on him now that Charles is in the boat, but I’m sure they’ll stay in touch.
  3. A lot of that MGoBlog thread was pretty fucking stupid but this post was gold:
  4. Goddamn. That was a rabbit hole. I don't think I care for this Camus fella.
  5. I may not have much sympathy but I still refuse to make light of injuries. That's just asking for bad juju.
  6. He clearly used the phrase "African American players" instead of "n****rs" so you're not allowed to call him racist. Stupid sip.
  7. The internal logic here doesn't make sense. 2024 Texas is not as good as 2022 Bama, even though a clearly inferior 2022 Texas team almost beat Bama but for some extreme ref fuckery? And 2024 Michigan is not as bad as that 2022 Texas team? How do you project that after one game? I understand the vibe of your comment, but the logic makes no sense. Yes, Texas is going to go into Ann Arbor with a lot of confidence, comparable to Bama coming to Austin in 2022. We should keep in mind that an 8-5 Texas team in 2022 took Bama to the wire. That is a cautionary tale worth noting. But Michigan just won the fucking national championship. In 2022, Texas was coming off a 5-7 season with an embarrassing loss to Arkansas. Of course Bama was overconfident. It's not even remotely the same situation.
  8. He looked out of shape, plain and simple. Overweight and wilting in the heat.
  9. Fuck the Brocks and everything but how is that a personal foul?
  10. His mom is an absolute smoke show. I get not being able to attend in person, and it's nice that X attended by video, but was he really wearing pajama pants? I'm probably just getting old but put on something with a belt.
  11. Do we think SDSU has a real shot at beating OSU? Because that would be hilarious.
  12. It seems like Baker is billed as a developmental guy, so I'm good with pulling some OKG / development types. I don't need blue chips, but 3 or even 4 dudes with potential would be nice. Shwarma is nice to have and maybe flip the Arkansas kid, plus a couple more with upside? That should be solid. I'm not going to jinx it by getting my hopes up about the FSU commit, but he would be an outstanding addition.
  13. It's too big to have any small town charm. Nothing but strip malls, chain restaurants, and non-descript brick containers that people call homes. It's like someone looked at all these bland, master-planned exurbs cropping around Houston and thought "I want that, but a school." And conversely, it's not big enough to be interesting. Other than the school, there isn't shit going on and the school only appeals to Aggies.
  14. Be kinda funny if they played "Shoulda Been a Cowboy" though
