And heists, don't forget about the heists!!!

Yup. It's only unbelievable to people who have strange, unfounded, unrealistic expectations for Texas A&M. And just think of how many games against FCS schools it took to get there. Yikes.

New technical regs... ya think they're going to be missing Newey at RBR? Nah, I doubt it... Anyway, that race was a complete shiteshow. And despite all the drama it also managed to be boring AF. That circuit sucks.

Back then the rumor was, that was the Fiji lake house's phone number. No idea if true.

Your sister has an awesome birthday, because it is my birthday as well! I wasn't trying to make the post about me, but that was a great birthday present for me in 1996. And it would be a similarly great gift here in 2024.

Well, and also at first, some of them claimed it was a fake and no such sign actually existed on the Gameday set. That version must be true because we all know ags don't lie cheat or steal, nor do they tolerate those who do.

Another parallel-- the date of that first B12 championship game was December 7th. The date of this year's SEC championship game is December 7th.

He could be a baller and get it now.

And one other point on "targeting" is that it now includes "spearing." They should really be separate rules because their intent is different, but for the spearing portion of targeting, the only requirement is that the defender lowers his head and leads with the crown of the helmet. It doesn't matter where he hits the offensive player, the penalty is a result of using the crown of the helmet, and the rule's intent is actually to protect the defender from himself, from potential spinal cord injuries, by making that type of hit illegal in order to dissuade the behavior. They used to be two separate rules for two separate situations, but now the rulebook has (confusingly IMO) lumped it all into the same rule. Edit: I'm not saying this applied in this case, it clearly didn't, but that's what the written portion about leading with the crown of the helmet, is all about.

After the two reversals on the TDs, I expected the Kyle Field crowd to go completely ballistic when that targeting was overturned. I was pretty disappointed in them that they didn't all throw their water bottles.

Yup. Movie theaters are completely dead.

Here's the play, for anyone that wants to see it again. Just incredible.

Brutal. Not missing that at all. Sure hope not. Thanksgiving is the tradition, T+1 is just another day so I'd rather it just be on Saturday if it's not going to be on Thanksgiving night (and, since the NFL decided to play a game on Thanksgiving night, I don't see that one ever coming back anyway).
