  1. A&M will accept the toenail clippings of people rejected by the naval academy. Their acceptance rate is probably below 10%. What the hell drugs are these morons on??
  2. What experience did the previous players have with Deion and his new coaching staff? Also, what institutional knowledge was important to preserve from a complete dogshit team? We'll find out when the season plays out, I guess.
  3. You're given the Colorado job in December 2022, what do you do? Option A: Stand mostly pat with the guys you've got from the 1-11 squad. Drive 'em down to Junction to Coach 'Em Up. They told the press they had a ton of fun going 1-11 but you're going to Lunchpail Coach 'em into success by god! They're gonna make a movie out of this! Option B: Send the 1-11 players away. Fill up on SEC/FSU castaways. See if whatever got major program coaches excited in the first place is still in there somewhere and maybe you can pull it out of them with personality swag and promises of money in the future. Me? I'm taking B every time. There's no option where I entice Maye and Corum and Brock Bowers and Kool-Aid to transfer in. I'm at Colorado with limited money and a pathetic recent history. .
  4. Not really a "joke", just how laughably inaccurate these "AI" chatbots are (especially Google's apparently). But it is a funny coincidence that annoying things like facts don't really matter too much to our Aggie friends. Well, usually. They're particularly dour and even-minded right now given the giant Jimbo cockslap they've received, so their usual unearned and prospectless enthusiasm is diminished.
  5. It might be a pretty one-off deal with Manning being someone who (supposedly) doesn't have any money deals at all. Also, Sark still has a good reputation as a QB developer. Without those two factors, yeah, seems impossible to have to 5* and one high-4* QB on campus at the same time.
  6. The problem, really, is podcasting. It's just too much unscripted time for these guys who are not very bright but uninhibited/ego-driven enough to think the world needs to hear 2+ hours of them daily. There's no time to distill anything or to set things up. All of the timing is reaction-based because it's just chuckleheads talking over each other. But it pays the bills better than stand-up, or at least fills in the gaps. Also, the comic as lone, fearless truth-teller shit has been played out for at least three decades at this point. We've got plenty of truth-tellers. So while comedy is fun and should even be insightful, they aren't the heroes they think they are.
  7. Swap the "d" for an "r" and the "h" for a "t" and you're close to a description of A&M's big guns having committed well into the 9 figures on the Jimbo Experiment. Meanwhile I'm only in Bobby Layne money on the ONEFund. Who's the deep-heart now!?
  8. The second sentence answers the first. For the Democrats, it's not about results, it's about process. It's improper to pressure your friends into leaving before they are ready. So Ginsburg gets to slay-queen her macrame cravat a little longer while women lose reproductive rights and Feinstein gets to wander into a mudslide as that gets even worse and Biden gets to be president and everything collapses around them because it is rude to suggest anything else within their halls of power. Meanwhile, Mitch can actively being eaten by sharks and the only thing that matters in his mind and the minds of his fellows is making sure they destroy whatever is left of the natural environment like his constituents want. The desire to exercise given power to achieve the desired results (Republicans) vs. the desire to hold power as a reward for being Good (Democrats). Also, having an actual agenda vs. not having an actual agenda.
  9. I think genuine, non-ironic supporters of CU/Prime are more than happy to give it a few years. (I am an ironic Prime-lover. This is the most entertaining coaching story, to me, in a long time.) For every 1 person who actually believes Colorado is going to be great immediately, there are 1,000 Internet participants saying, "I can't believe so many people think Colorado is going to be great immediately! Oh man they're so stupid!" And a 1:1000 ratio might be conservative on my part. It's probably closer to 1:10,000 or 1:100,000. Athlon says they'll finish 11th out of 12 Mike Farrell says they'll be 6-6 247 predicts 4-8 collegefootballnews says 3-9 USAToday says 5-7 There were 47k at their Spring game. How many of even THOSE people genuinely, honestly believe they're contending for the Pac-12 in 2023? 10%?
  10. lol Deion ain't here to play coaching Reading the article itself, none of this sounds like a big deal within the context of NCAA football. Business as usual. Kids got cut and have hurt feelings about it. Some hate the coach. World spins 'round. What will actually be fun is if the team fucking sucks or fucking rules. Anything below 3-8 or above 8-3 is fun. Anything between that is boring. And short of him banging some cheerleaders, the off-the-field stuff is much ado about nothing.
  11. I just want to watch the show. That's what Deion is for, the show. The fake "THERE ARE ONLY 19 FOOTBALL PLAYERS LEFT ON THE TEAM!" or "OH MY GOD HE IS GETTING SUED FOR PRAYING! HE'S IN BIG TROUBLE!" type of fake shit gets in the way of the show. Let the drama build, people, no need to invent things or blow things out of proportion.
  12. Do schools actually just hand over practice film to players who are transferring to other schools? Did Brenan Thompson just give hours of practice film to Venables?
  13. Saying Colorado was 1-11 last year is bad, but it doesn't really put it into perspective. Air Force beat them 41-10. Minnesota rowed the boat over them 49-7. Unbelievable garbage fire of a team. Their one win was OT against a dogshit Cal team, 20-13. Bowl game in 2023? The Sanders experiment might blow up in their faces, but basing that off whether or not he keeps around players from that team means nothing.
  14. Yes, they'll be fine with 4-8 so long as the recruiting continues to look insane (for them) and there is still a sense of fun.
  15. Bama pays Weigman to go to UNC Maye goes to Bama Boom. Weigman isn't as good as Maye, but I like this idea because it is stupid and fuck A&M
  16. Ladies and gentlemen... THE DEMOCRATS!
  17. Guys it totally happens all the time that players walk out in the middle of practice because they don't respect their coach. Totally normal. Daily occurrence. Nothing to see here.
