As someone who's dad had a bird most of the time - usually parakeets but also cockatoos and a green conure - I've never heard a parakeet actually talk.

Don't care if it's true or not but just envisioning that John Sharp asked his merry band of troglodytes to teach parakeets to say "Howdy" brings a big smile to my face.

My wife had a couple that could "talk," but their speech was very limited to the sounds they could make.  P's and B's worked OK -- think "pretty bird."  No fucking way is a parakeet going to be able to say "Howdy."  You'd need a parrot to do that.

Also, yeah, those fuckers flew around and turd-bombed you if they were out of their cage.

That’s the beauty of the “100 year decision”.  They get to be victorious over the “whorns” without having to actually play and win the game.  Their victory was just getting into Alabama’s conference and claiming secsec bottom dweller.   

Now they have lost to bama, all talk shall now be about how great the $EC is and their great chances for next year. Rinse and repeat.

Well, tua is gone, burrow is gone. So, both of those teams will likely regress and finish with 7 or 8 wins. Next year is THE YEAR.

Weeks ago, I offered $100 to the first person who can point out which A&M football game in 1907 was the game their milkman origin story took place. (https://yell.tamu.edu/). I will add that I will pay $100 to anyone who can substantiate the claim of Texas A&M "emptying campus periodically to go fight a war." I will pay this to the substantiation that the A&M campus was emptied even once when all the then-current A&M students left to fight any war (remember, we know from A&M reports that during WWI, enrollment on the A&M campus increased, and most certainly did not decrease).

What's funny is, it's always been this way for them. They've had to money-whip any coach they've ever wanted to get said coach away from a viable situation and they've had to grant them a ton of concessions as well. The total dollar amount goes up but the relative expense of the contract always sets the market because that's the only way you can get a coach with any marketability to even consider working in that shitheap.

It's  this kind of nonsense (in bold) I really can't stand about aggy .. I guess the many UT students who died during WWI  and WWII  didn't actually fight in one of those wars and they went overseas or served  state side, sipping tea and cookies.   Geesh my late Dad who passed away in 80's would be shocked his Naval commission he earned while at UT  during WWII which gave him a ticket to the Pacific was supposed to be a tea party.    Damn aggy ticks me off to no end at times.   

[SwanderedTalent 5761]

This Is A Transition YearPosted on 10/12/19 at 6:21 pm

Last year we won 8 games because we had a solid coach with a few stars leftover from the Sumlin era. They all went to the NFL. We could have won 10, we also could have won 6. 

This year we win 6 or 7. We dont have the seasoned talent. We have young players. They are gaining valuable experience on the field. Playing 5 of the best teams in college football. 

Next year they are all a year older. Next year that 5 top teams becomes 3 top teams. Next year our floor is 9-3. Our ceiling is 12-0. We can do it. It could happen. We will be in a solid position to make a NY6 bowl for the first time since 2012. If we don't, then we have a serious problem. Until then, it's all part of the plan.

Local hayseed celebrates women's basketball championship

[SwanderedTalent 5761]

I feel this bears explaining.

The Cotton Bowl is currently a NY6 bowl. If you don't go to the playoffs, this is the highest caliber post-season bowl you can play in. The Rose Bowl is more prestigious at this point, but otherwise, the Cotton Bowl is as prestigious as a non-playoff bowl can get.

The NY6 designation has only existed since 2014. NO ONE went to a NY6 bowl prior to 2014. They might have gone to a BCS bowl, or a Coalition bowl, or an Alliance bowl, but there was no such thing as an "NY6" bowl prior to the start of the CFB playoff.

Those bowls that NOW comprise the NY6 bowls aren't retroactively NY6 bowls. It's a nonsensical concept. The Peach Bowl was only ever at best a second-tier bowl; now, it's among the NY6, but you don't retroactively pretend like making the Peach in 1991 was the equivalent of making the Fiesta or Rose at that time.

A&M has never been to an NY6 bowl. They have, as literally most of the other programs in college football have, coincidentally played in bowls that are now considered NY6 but at the time were not in that top tier. The Cotton Bowl, after the 2012 season, was still in the second tier of bowls it had dropped to in the 1990s thanks to the SWC's slow decline and ultimate demise. The BCS was still operative in 2012, and the Cotton Bowl was NOT a BCS bowl. 

Period. There's no "yeah but" to this.

The Texas A&M Aggies have added the Prairie View A&M Panthers to their 2021 football schedule, FBSchedules.com has learned.

A copy of the athletic contest agreement was obtained from Prairie View A&M University via a state of Texas Public Information Act request.

Texas A&M will host Prairie View A&M at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas, on November 20, 2021. The Aggies will pay the Panthers a $500,000 guarantee for the contest, according to the copy of the contract.

Prairie View A&M is a member of the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). In their first and only meeting with Texas A&M in 2016, the Panthers fell to the Aggies 67-0 in College Station.

The addition of Prairie View A&M tentatively completes Texas A&M’s non-conference football schedule for the 2021 season. The Aggies are scheduled to open the season at home against the Kent State Golden Flashes on Sept. 4, play at the Colorado Buffaloes on Sept. 11, and then host the New Mexico Lobos on Sept. 18.

In SEC action in 2021, Texas A&M is scheduled to host Alabama, Auburn, Mississippi State, and South Carolina at Kyle Field and travel to play Arkansas (in Arlington, TX), LSU, Missouri, and Ole Miss.

Prairie View A&M has also tentatively completed their non-conference slate for 2021. Other opponents scheduled for the Panthers include the Incarnate Word Cardinals on the road on Sept. 11 and the Houston Baptist Huskies at home on Sept. 18.
