  1. He won't be there long enough for them to bother to get it right.
  2. I think he's ok. He doesn't do much showboating, and seems pretty humble when he makes big plays. Last year most were remarking on how fearless it was when it came to taking on pretty much anyone in yards after catch or on runbacks. But this year that has changed quite a bit. Maybe they are telling him to save his body for the next play and not potentially sacrifice his whole season over a few extra yards. Particularly since the WR room is pretty thin to start with. Maybe that explains the lack of willingness to stretch out for a catch? For fear of being broadsided and knocked out of the season? And being knocked off the routes is something that defenses have learned is one way to deal with him, I imagine. But I don't see him being dislikeable and I don't get the sense he is a lockerroom cancer.
  3. If this wasn't such a high profile case, that would probably be the way it would go. I know a guy who beat his wife so bad she went to the ER with a broken nose. He got charged, pled guilty. She took the kids and fled to another state. After 6 months of anger management he was free to go wherever. After a year of AA, his record was expunged. I would think his remaining at Texas would have something to do with being a spokesperson against DV. Which wouldn't be such a bad idea, since so many athletes end up in similar situations (looking at you NFL). Set up a series of seminars on red flags, escalation, de-escalation, fall out, etc. It wouldn't surprise me that CDC ends up with his coach intact and in an even better position. That's my hope anyway, that something good comes from this tragic situation.
  4. So what's the point, Ryan? Not being in the playoffs didn't stop them from bringing in the greatest class ever. I suppose if they had been in the playoffs, they would have just fallen from a higher perch this year.
  5. Well it seems part of it could be related to the fact that over that period, wages have stagnated while other costs have increased. Example being the infamous story of how many Walmart employees were working 38 hours a week and still needing to go on food stamps. I can imagine that also applies to other situations as well. And how much of that spending per person is military? The big bump yeah is Covid, but the increase in needing gov't assistance is partially tied to stagnant wages or disappearing jobs. I talked to a friend of mine who is retired railroad and was deeply involved in their union shop. He spent 20 minutes explaining it, and it seems Biden didn't let down the unions and there is a lot of disinformation being spread. It has to do with sick days and a points system and all other kinds of ways the railroad as trying to downsize their labor staff. I'm hoping he writes a synopsis of it for me. He also said they were surprised that the railroad magnates didn't do this before Trump left office. It only goes to mediation with the President if labor and management can't come to terms. These contracts are 5 years in length and they start negotiating them right after signing the last one. So they could have gone in while trump was in his waning days and renegotiated the next contract coming up. That way they would have had trump side with management, but instead now they have Biden siding with the workers. He told me the one who really betrayed the unions was Geo H Bush. He gave management everything they wanted, including letting them cut the two firemen from every crew. That was a huge blow to labor. It's also why H has his own engine and train, and no other president does, because he saved them tons of money. All this ties to that chart up there, where corporations start reducing or eliminating what their employees take home, that often leaves them needing assistance.
  6. Did Burke play enough to get his shirt burned?
  7. Were shooting for Moron Out! Gotta say that doesn't look like your typical aggy fans in the stands pic.
  8. That's for TAMIU or International aggy in Laredo. A consistent rival of UT-Austin, right?
  9. And we're doing it to ourselves. Not some outsiders doing it like 9/11. overturn Citizens United. They did it to Roe, nothing is sacred, apparently. Enact campaign reform. Dumb.
  10. Yeah they do. Baylor, TCU and OSU are the cream of the future B12. They would have no issues with padding Baylor's record with a win over Texas. One of the absolute biggest ref scammed games ever was Teaff's retirement game.
  11. Well I get a lot of shit stuck in my head, so I'm sure you're right.
  12. Jimmy V Classic. For some reason Maui sticks in my head for 2023.
  13. Yep, and a judge sealed those records: Colorado right? One kid is a Packers' fan, another a Raider. Not a Bronco in sight. I wonder how her constituency gets along with that lack of loyalty? Not any college logo in sight. But then those who vote for her can't even spell college or university, so no surprise there.
  14. so then walker if he doesn't win his runoff?
  15. I think Abbott has already struck some sort of deal with Trump. All the Texas R's have been suspiciously quiet about the announcement, in fact we saw Patrick and Paxton fully endorsing TFG. I read one article that said Abbott wasn't running if Trump ran. So my theory is team Trump/Abbott in 2024. Texas is a nice big red state, lots of O&G and of course under imminent threat of an invasion from Mexico. Abbott runs as VP and once they get into office, Trump turns to him for Nixon/Ford Ver.2025. Or even if Trump stays in office, Abbott is in good shape to roll forward. Or Trump gets to the point either legally or healthwise and can't run, then Abbott inherits all the Trumpers, and brings them back into the red flock. I know it seems outlandish, but what isn't, anymore? He's already running, testing the waters. More busloads and now this "invasion" bullshit. It's all to keep Trump's immigration fearmongering boiling.
  16. I'm sure it's been said, but just seems to me that Quinn is having confidence issues. Might be that he's been so good on his raw talent for so long that, he just got to believing in himself a bit too much. The OSU game he could shrug off, but the problem still persists and just now he's beginning to question himself. Maybe all this while Sark and others have been working to help him understand where he could improve, but he really wasn't listening. He kept trying to put his own game into Sarks. Could be the playcalling is leading to some of the issues, and with the still learning OL, even that's difficult. I think Sark sees the talent there, and once Ewers really buys in, then he'll start improving quickly. Just sometimes it takes some really bad falls to see the light.
  17. Trump's nicknames are usually brutally elementary, which is another reason aggy likes him. They don't have to think too hard, there's no double entendre to find.
  18. I haven't read the whole Manning thread on the recruiting board, so maybe this is covered ad nauseum somewhere else. But it just seems as football savvy the Manning family is, they'd see the same red flags so many of you are pointing out and would have swayed their family star away from the trainwreck Sark seems obviously to be. I read most all of this thread and I'm not really sure which camp I am in, but it just seems they trust Sark, why shouldn't we? Arch has more to lose than we do as fans and he's got some pretty heady advisors. I think they see things like immamac did some time back:
  19. particularly when aggy isn't really sure they have a journalism dept or not. it has had a rocky road the past three decades. https://www.thefire.org/news/texas-am-spins-hostile-takeover-student-paper-part-journalism-program-reboot
  20. I'm glad to see the back of him. Every time I see you guys use BWG, it short circuits to BCG and I wonder why Billy Clyde has such a hardon for Texas.
  21. Every thing about Kiffin makes me think he would have made a helluva Musketeer. He's just got that devil may care attitude. Watching last night I felt at times I was watching a duel between Artemis and some flat footed lumbering local buffoon of a sheriff. I mean if Leach can be a pirate, I imagine Joey Freshwater could be a musketeer.
  22. Sid Miller's Democratic opponent Susan Hays also supports legalizing weed. Miller only supports it for medicinal purposes. https://www.texastribune.org/2022/10/20/sid-miller-susan-hays-texas-agriculture-commissioner-election-2022/
  23. Nolan's wife didn't have a world fashion model side hustle to deliberate over either.
  24. Such a shining example to set for his student athletes. I would guess the "good ol boy kicking the can down the road" is beginning to wear thin. Or maybe not.
