  1. Do it. There is no future. Nothing matters. Who cares.
  2. I hope they beat us by 100.
  3. So they're mad that an ESPN broadcaster doesn't talk like Dave South? lol ok
  4. A little mustard and hot sauce on them sardines they'll go down a treat. Grow up
  5. Ok, but what KIND of American are you? *banjoing intensifies*
  6. I don't disbelieve this at all because I'm a huge fucking moron, but...
  7. I thought I was clever and original but I shouldn't be shocked it already exists. Someone take me out back and tie me to a post. I'm done.
  8. I am old, so it is my belief that the zoomers will adore Trump for making sure they didn't have to go longer than 24hrs without TikTok and that the internment of non-whites and the LGBTQ will not matter to them. And those zoomers who are vaguely aware of moral goodness will do sad TikTok dances outside the concentration camps.
  9. You don't. I generally host big family gatherings and I've fully become the "we don't talk politics during family gatherings" guy and I have had to have real conversations with family members about it. My fully MAGA'd sister even managed to alienate me, the last of her siblings who would even bother talking to her (her kids won't even talk to her anymore) because she somehow believes that "no politics at Christmas" is a "free speech" issue. A particularly dumbass in-law (I call him "mouthbreather") has been pulled aside a couple of times, but he's mostly able to contain himself and he generally feels embarrassed after our 1-on-1s. Early on I asked moutbreather how many sides there were to him as a person, and we agreed there were many. It's simply a matter of putting one side to the background for the evening, and it's not hard. And it's also a matter of showing your teeth occasionally, so the idiots don't get confused and think your motivation is fear of their bold, unassailable ideas. We don't have long in this world.
  10. I choose to believe that our lack of portal-outs is a sign of how bad our roster is (no one even wants them!) and that we're doomed. DOOMED I SAY!!!!
  11. One Ag in there complaining about the expanded SEC being unfun. 2012 Expansion: Missouri & Texas A&M 2024 Expansion: Oklahoma & Texas Who, outside of Mizzou and A&M fans, thinks the second expansion is less exciting than the first? It's a joke. They're a joke.
  12. "This college QB will not be an immediate success in the NFL." Man, these are some bold, innovative takes. This thread is brain cancer.
  13. That dumbfuck you're responding to should take a few months' break from this place. What a piece of shit.
  14. Men will literally post on surly instead of go to therapy. Thanks to Quinn. This guy worked with Sark and pulled this program from 5-7 to back-to-back Top 4 finishes. That's historical. Arch has his work cut out for him to continue that streak. Best of luck to him in the NFL. I hope he does great things there and continues to represent us well.
  15. Exactly. I can't feel any level of meltdown because Sark told us this is what it was months ago. We were going with the steady veteran hand until the bitter end.
  16. FUCKING GOD DAMNED SPINNING BALLERINA DANCING HORSEHIT FUCK
  17. I wonder if all the people Mack is such dear friends with know that they are such dear friends.
  18. Yep. The guys are perpendicular to each other. This is a speed/positioning issue, not straight up getting pushed around. You can outweigh me by 100lbs but it doesn't matter much if our paths are damn near 90 degrees apart and I'm getting through the intersection ahead of you.
  19. Quinn's lack of elite complements can be overstated, but it is real. I don't want to speak ill of our RB room, but the dropoff from Bijan -> Brooks -> finally Wisner as starter has been a massive problem. We should always have a guy at RB that everyone else is jealous of and we just don't have that at all. WR room is also a dip and TE is debatable.
  20. Coaches love "I can fix him, I'm a better coach than the other guy" approach. And hey, sometimes they're absolutely correct.
  21. They could become a rival in the sense of "oh no, you're a regional threat to my success and equal or better in important ways so our rivalry is somewhat the result of our organic experiences!" (like OU) and not just a rival in the sense of being fucking annoying and historically/politically/economically tied together; de facto rivalry. But yeah, it's not something we'll ever have to worry about, because they aren't going to win and even if they did there's no way they don't act like fucking clowns the entire time.
  22. An Aggie buddy of mine is really taking this angle of things hard. He was very confident that we'd come into the SEC and be taught a rough lesson and humbled. Crowed about Georgia beating us the first time and was generally insufferable. He let it go for a while when the inevitable A&M collapse/Texas resurgence happened and he's kind of reduced to angrily whining about conference drama. - Very upset with me and others in the group chat for laughing at the SEC's bowl woes, admonishing us to have conference pride - Seems brainlocked at the concept of viewing Ohio St/Texas through his promoted prism of conference pride when confronted by Florida buddy (never me, picking on Aggies isn't even really fun for me in real life unless they start it, and even then kind of boring). The Big 10 call from within Aggie fandom is just a re-manifestation of the same sad, pathetic impulse that led them out of the Big 12. There is no faith within them that they will ever be anything worth attention, so they think they need coattails to ride or to be in near proximity to a shinier object to get its reflected light. It's not even in their heads that they could either (a) be the leader or (b) be focused on themselves and their own achievements/failures outside of regularly comparing against others. And really, a lot of this is our fault. If you make fun of little brother enough, he believes it and it becomes his personality if he isn't mentally and emotionally strong. Aggies are neither. I'd like to respect them, but they have to make themselves respectable (win) and then act respectably (stop fucking whining all the time and seeking Good Boy points and praise and validation from others) over a consistent period of time. If not winning -> shut up If winning -> act like its expected and be outwardly non-plussed and gracious repeat for 20 years and maybe, MAYBE we can start to look at you like you're a Big Boy
